The screen in front of me blinked a number: 9,834,179,823,862 THAT number is how many souls came in for judgment in ONE MINUTE. I sighed, putting my face in my hands; with a war going on with mortals AND with us, I'll be burned out by next week! Plus it takes FOREVER to judge all those souls, some are still waiting from 1984!
I glanced wearily at Ammit, he blinked his yellow eyes. All he had to do was eat the hearts of the untruthful, easy. Lord Osiris had more important business to take care of; he wouldn't tell me what it was though. He never does.
Hathor strolled casually in, "Why hello there Andrew!" she feigned surprise, "I wouldn't think to see you here!"
"It's Anubis, pain."
"Oh, then hello Anubis Pain!"
I face palmed myself, "No, I was calling you a- forget it!" I cut off irritably, "What do you want anyway?"
She looked me straight in the eyes, hers were a deceiving, cunning, pink, "I don't want anything," she gestured towards the darkness, "But he does."
Sobek stepped out of the shadows, grinning evilly, I frowned, "What do you want crocodile man?" I couldn't think of an offensive nickname, ok?
He gestured Hathor away and she grinned and melted into the shadows, "My dear boy, who is often excluded out of everything? Who was abandoned at birth? Who should want revenge?" he asked. So that's what he wanted, revenge on my parents… but why?
I got out of my black, shadowy throne, "Whatever you're playing at, I want to part of it!" I yelled, my voice boomed, I sounded commanding.
Sobek chuckled, wow he has issues, and opened his arms in a friendly gesture, "I am telling you that they have wanted nothing of you but I see potential. I see a young man that could use my talents," he noted the look of horror on my face, "Don't be alarmed, I wish to wreak havoc on your ungrateful parents ONLY!"
His words wrapped around me like a cobra, constricting me, suffocating me, "I-I suppose…" I realized what I was saying, "NO! I WONT HELP YOU!" I couldn't believe that I had almost agreed! Of course, my parents were never there for me…. EVER, but I couldn't hurt them in any way!
He scowled, realizing defeat, "This will not be your final decision, child, you have not seen the last of me!" he snarled before receding into the blackness.
Lord Osiris strolled in, "Why, Anubis, whatever is the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost!" he joked.
Sobek's words still swam in my head, I couldn't betray my only family (that counts anyway), "It's nothing my Lord." I muttered. He shrugged and walked off whistling.
This will not be your final decision, child, you have not seen the last of me….. what on earth have I gotten myself into?
