Welcome to my new story, I hope you enjoy. I love writing for you guys it's really fun. As this is the first chapter I should probably get right to the description.
NOTE: Sadie is going have more of a vocabulary. There will be some swear words in this. I'm trying to make the stories less K+ and more actually T. I'm trying something new here so if you like it let me know, if you don't also let me know. I can most certainly change it if you don't like it.
Description.
Set has taken over the world with the help of Apophis. Julius and Amos Kane are the two leaders of the remaining magicians in this apocalyptic world. After Set discovers that his son, Anubis, aided the release of captured magicians he takes away his powers and throws him out into the world to fend for himself. When Anubis runs into Carter and Sadie Kane, they take him to the magicians. Will Anubis tell the Kane's who he is or will he try to hide his identity since the gods have caused this mess.
Anubis's POV
"Go! Now!" I yell as the four magicians I had released from Set's prison go through the portal I made for them to get back out of here. Set had turned the great pyramids into cells and his base. I quickly go back to the throne room in order to avoid getting in trouble for releasing them. That's when the alarms go off.
"What is going on?" Set says walking out into the throne room.
"It sounds like some prisoners had escaped," I say to him. I had managed to knock out most of the guards, who were also gods, forced to work for Set or lose their powers and fend for themselves.
"Go see to it," Set says. "We don't have all day son."
"Yes sir," I say. I walk down to the prisons and see one of the guards starting to wake up. "What happened here?"
"I don't know," He says. "I was walking and next thing I knew I was waking up just now."
I gather some of the guards and bring them to Set. I sit in the chair beside Set. I was his second in command. I never agreed with anything he's done since his takeover. Though, I should probably fill you in with what's been going on. Twelve years ago, Apophis had killed Bast and escaped his prison. Apophis and Set then took over the world. Destroying mortals, Greek gods, Roman gods, Norse gods, Magicians, Demigods, anything that stood in their way. The world looked like what most humans would call a zombie apocalypse but without the zombies. Though, the remaining people occasionally have to fight some of the monsters and demons that Set releases to search for magicians. The magicians have a resistance group that is determined to find Isis and Horus to help regain control of the world and take down Set and Apophis. The Kane's, Julius and Amos. They are brothers from an ancient line of magicians. They are two of the most powerful magicians. Julius Kane's children are also very powerful, so I've herd. They were only six and eight when this all started but I'm sure Julius and Amos trained them well. I'm sure you're wondering. Why haven't the gods taken Set and Apophis down. That's because anyone who stands up to them has had their powers taken away and thrown out into the world. Usually when they take a god powers the god ends up dead because they don't know life without their powers or how to survive.
"Some of my prisoners had some help escaping today," Set explains walking back and forth. "Unfortunately, those four magicians we're important to me. They were the closest thing I had to finding the Kane's. I'm going to ask once, if you step forward, I won't punish you. Who aided their escape?"
I watch as all of the guards, who most are either gods or magicians that wanted to side with Set, they all stand their silent not saying a word. Until, one of them did step forward. "Master Set," He said. "I didn't aid their escape. I do know who did."
"Who?" Set says.
The guard pulls out a piece of mummy wrapping. "I found this wrapped around my neck when I woke up. I assume they used this to knock me out."
Set glances at me. "Thank you," Set says. "If you guards would leave me. I believe this is a conversation for me and my son."
I was dead. Is all I could think as I watched the guards leave. "Father, are you seriously going to believe the guards?"
"Usually I don't," Set says. "I'm not surprised honestly, you've always been fond of mortals. I also know that you haven't approved of anything I've done. My brother had raised you to hate me."
"So, what are you going to do?" I ask.
Set walks over to me. He puts his hands on my shoulders. His eyes started glowing. I immediately feel my power draining from my body. He stops and I fall to the ground. "See how you last out their son," Set says. "You are nothing without your powers. Goodbye Son." He opens a portal and throws me through it.
I end up in the middle of a street. There were buildings all around me. I assume I'm in what once was New York. I recognized some of the buildings. I walk through the streets. I was cold, it probably wasn't helping that I was wearing black ripped jeans, combat boots, and a t-shirt. I was also hungry, I hadn't eaten food all day today, I didn't feel it until my powers were taken from me. I was tired, getting your powers taken also takes some of your energy. I was alone, cold, hungry, and tired. I searched houses and things for food. I couldn't find anything food related. I managed to find a backpack. I put a couple of blankets in it. I continue walking until I hear a growling sound. I turn and see a demon. It comes running towards me. I hold my hand out to summon a jackal and realize I can't do that. I decide to go with the next best option and run. I run a few blocks before I am blocked in an ally.
I backed up against the wall and dropped my backpack by my side. I was going to die. I close my eyes to face my death and then I didn't. I heard the sound of the demon fighting someone.
"You can open your eyes dude," A female voice says. "It's dead."
I open my eyes and see a female, caramel blonde hair in a braid that rested over her shoulder, deep blue eyes, she wore blue jeans, black boots like mine, a white shirt, and a black leather jacket. She had a belt with some knifes and a wand. She had a staff strapped to her back. This girl was a magician. She was also the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. "I… uh… thank you." I say. Real smooth Anubis.
She raises an eyebrow at me. "What exactly are you doing out here with no weapons?"
"I'm not exactly from around here," I say.
"What the hell does that mean?" She asks. "You look like you haven't dealt with this world. Are you telling me there's somewhere that's not miserable like this place?"
"You have a sharp tongue there," I say.
"What?" She asks confused.
"I guess the word I'm looking for is sassy," I say.
"So where are you from?" She asks. She had a knife in her hand and she was spinning it. Probably debating if she wanted to drive it through my heart, my head, or something.
"I'm from up north," I say.
"How did you get here?" She crosses her arms. Knife still in hand. "What's in the backpack?"
"I got here through a portal," I say. "I was running away from Set's army. The backpack has a couple of blankets. My group was under attack. I didn't have the chance to grab any weapons."
"Sadie!" A voice calls. "Where are you?"
"Over here!" The girl calls.
I hear footsteps. It was a boy. He had dark skin, black hair and brown eyes. He wore the same outfit as the girl. He stops when he sees me. "Who's this?"
"I don't know," She says. "I saved the idiot from a demon. No weapons. Says he fled from a group of people under attack from Set."
"What's your name?" He asks me.
"An.." Don't use your name idiot. "Andrew," I say.
"Andrew," Sadie says. She holds out her hand. "Well Andrew, it's nice to meet you. I'm Sadie."
I take her hand and shake it. Her hand was warm and soft. "Nice to meet you."
"This is my brother Carter," She says. "He's annoying. You have to love your siblings. You probably understand."
"Oh, I don't have siblings." I say.
"We should bring him with us," Sadie says. "He's alone, I'm afraid he might get himself killed."
"Sadie," Carter says. "We can't bring strangers home. Dad will not be happy."
"It's not everyday you find a cute boy in the street Carter," She says. I don't think I was supposed to hear that. I smiled. She thinks I'm cute.
"Why are you smiling?" She asks. "You almost fucking died."
"No reason," I say.
"Are you going to explain to dad?" Carter asks. "Then let's bring him."
We heard an explosion sound. "What's that?" I ask.
"Shit!" Sadie says. "Why is he doing this now?"
Set. He likes to blow up places that might have signs of magicians. I figured he was trying to kill me. I look up and see one coming down on us. "MOVE!" I yell.
I hear Sadie scream once the explosion starts. Once the dust clears Sadie was against the wall of the back of the ally. Carter was covering her with his body. Once it was clear Carter backs up. "Are you okay?" He asks her.
"Fine," She says. She looks at me. "How about you? Jackal boy?"
"Jackal boy?" I ask.
"Yeah," She says. "You have a jackal tattoo on your shoulder."
"Oh," I say. "Yeah."
"Let's go boys," Sadie says. "We don't have all day."
Carter rolls his eyes and follows her. "Come on," He says. I hesitate before I decide to take my chances with them. Sadie did save my life, after all.
Hope you like this story. I'm feeling excited about it. Let me know what you guys think. Also, if you don't like how Sadie talks, I can change it. Just, let me know. Thank you!
