Princess Raquel finds her betrothed, Prince Sallah, in the arms of Bastet, the goddess of cats, just hours before their scheduled marriage. Enraged and feeling betrayed, Raquel demands help from the gods. In response, Anubis grants her the Witchblade, entrusting her with its power to exact vengeance and assert her rightful place.

The story explores Raquel’s internal conflict — torn between duty, passion, and the heavy responsibility of wielding a powerful artifact. The involvement of Egyptian deities (Anubis, Bastet) gives this issue a mythological feel, raising the stakes beyond a simple betrayal.
