Yes, yes my first fanfic…no wait maybe my third (only this gets published…or maybe also the other one…) Meh, who cares which one this is. Yes, go on. READ.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I only own the plot and the…yeah, that's pretty much it…go.
Sadie here.
Okay, listen carefully Carter and I only have a few moments to explain everything.
First our request: Look for our other recordings (if you don't have 2 more. Why? The store we buy it from had no more stock so was kinda running low on recordable items.)
It will explain further and more details. But if you can't find it here is a short summary of our life.
Right you know the about Egyptian Mythology. The gods and goddesses like Osiris, Horus, Anubis, Isis, Nephthys etc. Yes I know they all end with the letter 's'.
Anyway I'll only say this once: They all exist and Carter and I are Magicians
You see when our mother died her parents, our grandparents, fought over who'd take custody over Carter and me with our dad. After a long time with a very nasty battle involving lawyers and a scary spatula attack (don't ask). They decided I'll stay with them in England while Carter goes around the world traveling with dad.
As you might not have known our dad is an archeologist. He goes around the world looking for ancient artifacts, especially Egyptian artifacts, his specialty (this is very helpful, good thing Carter went with dad because I'd forget most of the important facts).
[Shut up, Carter]
During one of his visits he brought Carter and me to the British museum to see the Rosetta stone. It was like a normal visit then suddenly magicians (not yet known to us then) appeared, fought and then the Rosetta stone blew up and our dad suddenly vanished.
[They're already here?]
Sorry but we have to cut this short. We can't tell you the reason just yet because you might freak out. Anyway I'll tell you the important things: We have to fight Apophis. Again. To survive until then and to find more kids with blood of the pharaohs( like you).
If you are willing to be chased, hunted, killed, maimed, buried, turned into a certain animal, get stuck in a sarcophagus, stomped on, burned to a crisp and vigorous training please do follow the djed amulet you have received to our mansion in Brooklyn.
[No Carter, I'm not bragging].
Oh, by the way if you already listened to the other recordings remember what Amos, the new chief lector, said about "other gods"…
you'll find out what he meant.
-SADIE-
"…and this was made by Caspar David Friedrich…" the tour guide explained.
Right now Carter and I are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"Carter even though this is really boring, it's a great excuse to come to Manhattan." I whispered to Carter who was staring intently at the painting, I think its name is Woman at the Window (pretty obvious since the lady is staring outside the window).
"Aren't I a great brother or what?" He mumbled still staring at the painting.
"don't let it get to your head" I punched his arm.
"Ow!" Carter cried while rubbing his arm.
"Shhh" the tour guide looked at us sternly.
"Sorry miss" Carter said apologetically. I rolled my eyes.
[Do I really have too?...Okay]
Carter said that I should explain why I said his idea was great. Uncle Amos said that we're not allowed to go to Manhattan because he said it isn't good if we interfere with the "other" gods. Well that was the wrong thing for Amos to say because if you tell me not to do something it will make me want to do it even more. So after Amos became chief lector and Bast, our guardian who also is the cat goddess, busy helping still senile Sun god Ra, no one was home to tell us what not to do except for our older recruits but we told them we'd buy more food for everyone, so before we go home we better go to a market and buy everything we could get before it closes.
"Seaweed brain, Nico, come over here and look t this painting" A voice behind me whispered in awe.
Who'd have a nickname like Seaweed brain? I thought.
I turned around too see a girl with golden curly hair and stormy gray eyes staring with her mouth half open at the same painting Carter was looking at.
"What Annabeth?" A boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes came jogging up to her.
"Where's Nico?" Annabeth asked looking behind the boy.
"What do you want?" A boy with black shaggy hair, brown eyes and pale olive skin, who looks really, really familiar and, I guess, is Nico, walked towards them looking irritated.
"Percy, look at the amazing details on the windows" Annabeth squealed excitedly while looking back and forth at the boys and the painting.
"Yeah, Annabeth It looks great" Percy mumbled absentmindedly while looking at a statue of a man with a beard and only a piece of cloth for clothing. When I read the inscription it said: Poseidon, God of the sea and earthquakes.
"Annabeth, why are you interested in a painting? I thought you liked Architecture." Nico sighed in exasperation.
"No. I don't mean the painting I mean the window. Look at all that detail" She replied.
This was my chance to ask the Nico kid the question that's been waiting to get out of my mouth the first time I saw him.
I tapped his shoulder, "Excuse me, Anubis?" I asked him reluctantly.
Most of you might think this is short but I want to make a cliffy (gotta loooove cliffies!)...Oh Gods...did I just type that.
Anyway, I've never been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. How do I know about the paintings you ask? Internet (not so sure about the Poseidon statue though).
Okay, you like it? Hate it? Just review (if you do review I'll update more, depends if I have a lot of assignment. UGH). Oh and I may not be able to upload fast because I have school and my school will be until next year March, of course I'll have breaks and on those breaks I will try to remember to update and also to try to remember that I have a story. Yeah…so don't get mad if I don't update for a while.
