In a small village in Egypt lived two orphan boys, Set and Amenhotep. They
always watched out for each other, well past their years of childhood and
into their time as young adults.

One day, the two were walking outside the village when they saw a
crocodile trapped in a poacher’s snare. The two young men, sympathetic to
a creature in need, approached the crocodile and released it from the
trap.

Once freed, the crocodile transformed into a wispy, glowing fairy! “Thank
you, young men” said the fairy, “Your hearts are truly selfless, and I
will grant each of you one wish. What are your names?”

“This is my friend Set, and you can call me ‘Ep’”, said Amenhotep.

“Very well, Ep” said the fairy “What is the desire of your heart?”

“I wish I was the strongest man in the world!” Amenhotep wished.

“Very well”, said the fairy, “but you must always use your strength to
help others.” Smoke gathered around Amenhotep, and when the smoke cleared
Ep was 7 foot six and rippling with muscles.

The fairy turned to Set “And what is your wish, Set?” Set responded “I
never want to be poor again! I wish for money!”

“Very well,” said the fairy. Smoke gathered in front of the two of them,
and when the smoke cleared a small elf remained, bowing to the two boys.
“Greetings, sirs! My name is Elmon, and I am here to serve!”

“Elmon is an expert in all things money,” said the fairy, “He will help
you make wise decisions and turn any business profitable, but will only
help you so long as he is only asked to do good for your fellow man.”

Amenhotep and Set were inseparable. True to his word, Amenhotep used his
great strength to build many houses for people in need. Set helped, as
well, but his comparatively small size next to the now massive Amenhotep
earned him the nickname “Imp”. With Elmon’s financial savvy, the two
started a non-profit dedicated to building houses for the less fortunate,
and Elmon kept all their paperwork in perfect order.

Years passed, and the two lived very fulfilling lives helping the
homeless. Amenhotep met a girl while building houses and the two got
married and had a beautiful baby boy, Josep.

Ep and Set’s business expanded globally. 15 years passed and Amenhotep
grew kinder and more generous, giving to people in need at any of the
places he went to build houses. Set built a campus in Cairo for the
headquarters of their business, and directed global efforts. Over the
years, Set lost touch with the people he was helping, and became more
focused on business expansion and money of the business.

As all fathers do, Amenhotep wanted his son to eventually take over the
business and help the next generation of needful people find purpose in
their lives. He sent Josep to the the HQ in Cairo to learn business from
Set. Once there, Josep was surprised to find that much of the financial
success was due in large part to the financial savvy of Elmon, the elf.

Josep spent months at HQ learning how to run the business. While there,
Set decided that it was time to expand the company into a more profitable
venture. Instead of building houses for the needy, he drafted up a plan to
buy up land around urban areas and construct rental properties at
expensive prices while preventing construction of new, affordable housing.
He sent Josep with the proposal to Elmon to determine the financial
logistics.

Upon reading the proposal and its ill-nature’s effect on Set’s fellow man,
Elmon keeled over and died, instantly.

Josep was shocked, and ran to alert Set right away, who wailed in dismay
at the loss of his financial mastermind. In a rage, he accused Josep of
killing Elmon, and sent the teenager to jail.

Amenhotep, hearing of the distress, caught the first flight back to Cairo
to find himself neck-deep in a legal battle between him and his old
friend.

Without the financial and legal savvy of Elmon, Set’s case was a mess.
Amenhotep, distraught, tried to reason with his childhood friend. “Come,
Imp, release my boy and call off the lawsuit. Let’s use our energy to help
those in need and not further what we both know is a fruitless path.”

Set refused, furiously gathering circumstantial evidence to bring to the
court to frame Josep for Elmon’s murder.

The case was brought before the court, but Set’s claims were weak and
unsupported. The judge, thoroughly disgusted with the lack of evidence
from the prosecution, dismissed the case outright.

Obviously, Ep’s teen didn’t kill Imp’s elf.
