[ EU ] An infant Kal-El crash lands in ancient Egypt and is adopted by Pharaoh 's daughter .

( Slight change to the prompt here, because I had a similar bot not identical idea that tickled my fancy just enough to want to post it, similar enough that I felt it fit, but different enough that I feel the need to disclaim. Also there was no similar-but-different prompt to post it under. )

 The gift from Ra gleamed in His holy light, as the great Pharaoh observed the orb which fell from the heavens. After some time, small cracks began to appear upon the face of the orb. Pharaoh was afraid, fearing that his lack of true reaction to the gift had angered Great Ra, but his priests assured him that this was merely the gift following its path. 
 
 The orb opened, and within was a child. An infant, about the age of the young prince. `` So, it is Ra's will,'' intoned Pharaoh before the assembled crowd, `` that my son shall have a brother. A gift from Ra himself, in the wake of my queen's passing into the arms of Nephthys.'' 
 
 And so it was that Kal-Ra ( so named for the scrawling in the inside of the orb, naming the child Kal, and for his nature as a gift from Ra ) was raised as second in line to take the throne when the great Pharaoh would pass. His brother, son-by-blood of Pharaoh, who was named Khufu, was of course first in line. 
 
 So too, as they grew older, was Khufu first in the priestess Chay-ara's heart. For all Kal-Ra's gifts, and for all his efforts to win the heart of the priestess, still she chose Khufu. For this, Kal-Ra grew jealous of his brother. He hid his feelings well, for the Pharaoh's sons were raised as to be stoic, strong, and firm. But feel he did. 
 
 As the years passed, and Khufu and Chay-ara grew closer outside of Pharaoh's view ( for great though he was, his view did have its limits ), Kal-Ra was approached by the priest Hath-Set. It was Hath-Set's belief, which we may know as we are not a part of this tale, that he would be able to manipulate Kal-Ra to strike down Prince Khufu, then himself strike down Kal-Ra in secret, that he might possess the heart of Chay-ara. 
 
 Kal-Ra, however, was smarter than Hath-Set, and so he turned the situation back on the priest. In his cunning way, Hath-Set offered Kal-Ra a gift: a small green stone which had been found at the young adopted prince's landing site. 
 
 The moment Kal-Ra grasped the stone, he began to weaken. Hath-Set had poisoned him! What had this treacherous priest done? For all Kal-Ra's strength and great toughness, he was unable to resist the effects of the stone. He collapsed, accompanied by the sound of the priest's laughter. The last thing he saw as he slipped into unconsciousness was the priest moving in the direction of Khufu and Chay-ara. 
 
 When Kal-Ra awakened, the stone was gone from his hand. Pharaoh had found him there, and seen that the stone, the only unusual thing about the situation, was the only thing that could be causing his son's distress. Kal-Ra leapt to his feet and spoke, telling Pharaoh of the plans of the traitorous priest. 
 
 Sadly, Kal-Ra was too late. Chay-ara and Khufu had both been slain. Kal-Ra flew into a rage upon hearing this, and he bolted from the room to hunt down the treacherous priest.
