Hey people. Sorry for the wait, but I've started high school now and it's taking up more of my time, so I'll be slower at updating. But I'll do my best anyway. Also, um, lack of inspiration?

Also, since this is five years after the epilogue in the first one, the couples of Max and Zoe and Rex and Kebechet have one new child – Max and Zoe have a small son called Matthew to add to Iago and Zara, while Rex and Kebechet have a small daughter called Nisha to add to Keith and Jasmine.

Summery: Disaster has struck in Egypt and the elder parents must send their children to another place where they can't be harmed. But they're not just going to let their parents suffer! The children must save their family, and possibly, the world . . .

It was just another day in the new Castle of Osiris. Max, Zoe and their children were not working and were just relaxing for now. Zoe was giving Matthew a tongue-bath (If you know what I mean) and Max was telling Iago and Zara a story – the very same story I told you guys in The Shock of their Lives'.

"And then, Set appeared behind me and wounded me with an Energy Bolt," Max told them, in an ominous voice. "I went sailing through the air and landed on the very same rock the orb was on."

Iago and Zara just stared with awe and fear at their father, listening extremely intently.

"And then Set came up to me and said:" Max cleared his throat and put on an imitation of Set's mean voice, "'You jackals are so pathetic! I don't see why my weakness is your saliva, cuz no matter weather people like you or not, you always lose the fight!'"

The children gasped.

"But I kept my ground." Max had resumed his usual voice now. "I stayed strong even though I was weak. I answered: 'There's a benefit to losing! You get to learn from your mistakes!'"

"Good for you Dad!" cheered Iago, pumping his fist (if it's possible to make paws into fists anyway).

Max smiled. "Thank you, son. Then I used the last of my strength to kick the orb into the magma, fainting right afterwards. I don't know all the details because I was unconscious, but I do know that Set was destroyed. You'll have to ask your mother about the other details, though," he finished.

"Wow, great story Dad!" said Zara, getting to her feet.

Max smiled. "I'm glad you find my deeds entertaining, my daughter, but I do hope that one day you will accomplish a feat even greater," He told her, nuzzling Zara behind the right ear – her most favourite nuzzle-spot.

"Daddy!" called out a happy Matthew. The tiny, four-year-old jackal cub ran into the room, followed by his mother. Matt jumped on his father and started licking his face, while Zoe nuzzled him. Max chuckled. "That's my boy," he said, patting his youngest son on the head.

"Who wants Multipie?" called Olly from the kitchen.

"Multipie? What's that?" said Rex. He, Kebechet, Keith, Jasmine and Nisha walked into the Atrium.

"A magic pie that tastes and contains differently depending on the person or animal or whatever kind of being you are," explained Zoe. "In reality it's filled with the Many Personality Mountain Mushroom that grows only in the lost Sie-Jed Mountains in the Gobi Desert."

"Sounds great!" cheered Kebechet.

They went to the kitchen and took a bite out of the pie – and then spat it out!

"What is this garbage?" spluttered Keith, spitting soggy pastry and revolting brown stuff out of his snake jaws.

"The Many Personality Mountain Mushroom cooked in English Puff Pastry," replied Theo calmly. "Why?"

"Cuz it tastes more like Toadstools cooked in Dinosaur Dung!" answered Jasmine.

"Hey!" shouted the dinosaurs. (Yes, they're here too!)

Theo shrugged. "Well, me and Olly's cooking isn't as good as Tcheft's," he said, sadly. "He's been gone for ages. Where could he be?"

The others bowed their heads in sadness. The best cook in the world had disappeared the day before, and all the gods were missing him – even Nisha and Matthew, and they were just four years old.

"Cheer up guys," piped up Cassie, who was a very optimistic young baryonyx. "I know we all miss him. I do too, but we can't go all the time he's not here being sad. We gotta pass the time."

Nisha smiled a little. "Thanks Cass."

There's the first chapter! It's all I have time for cuz Mum's saying I should get off the computer and come to dinner and I only have four minutes. But still, I hope u enjoyed it!
