I am so bored. It's been six months since we defeated Apophis, and there has been no word on Setne. It felt like everything was worst part was that I was the only one with nothing to do. Zia was visiting the first nome in Egypt, Amos was fulfilling his duties as chief lecture and Walt was practicing his new Anubis powers. I don't get it, I'm the pharaoh, I'm supposed to be leading. Even Sadie was gone. She had gone to some big Magic convention in Britain. It's this big affair, where people invite the best magicians in the world to come and teach a couple of ankle biters, or 'small children' as others call them. They invited her, not me, but whatever.
So i sat in the living room watching a documentary on ancient Egypt. I had just gotten off the phone with Zia who was having just the BEST time. I heard a knock on the door and went over to open it. It was Amos. This is strange, I thought. Amos didn't usually come unannounced.
"Amos" I said sounding more like a question than a greeting.
"Hello Carter." He had a sad look on his face and I could tell something was wrong.
"What happened?" I said immediately. By then people had started to gather around.
"Can we talk alone?"
"Amos, what happened?" I demanded.
"It's Sadie."
"What happened to her?" I said with a strong voice.
Amos started to explain, "The twenty-fourth Nome was attacked. I don't know what happened, the surrounding Nomes have it under lockdown and won't tell anyone what happened.-"
"But I'm the Pharaoh they'll te-"
"Carter this might come as a shock to you but they don't have to tell us anything. They have to protect the people left, t-."
"The people left?"
Carter realized what he meant and was taken aback. What happened to Sadie? Was she okay. His mind was swarming with horrible thoughts. Amos must have realized because his eyes grew to the size of plates and he said, "Carter. she's going to be okay-."
"Going to be?!"
"Carter we won't know until we see her-"
"Then lets go!"
"I told you it's closed off. We just have to wait."
"We have to wait to see if my sister is alive?"
"I don't like this anymore than you do-.''
"Well clearly you don't care otherwise you would be taking this more seriously!"
"Carter-"
"No I'm going i'm going to see if she's okay." With that I opened a portal and jumped through…...Only to come right back to where I was, feeling even worse. Amos was still looking at me.
"As I said before, the surrounding Nomes have that place guarded. Carter, I will do anything I can to figure out what's going on, but for now you need to just sit and wait.
So I waited.
