I was sitting in the room of the Big House. Thinking. We had just defeated Apophis, using his shadows and execrations and turning senile Ra into the sun warrior he was and me being pharaoh sort of but not really…ugh, it's too much to think about right now. I flopped on my bed. I wanted to talk to Zia, but she was out with Sadie. I hoped she wasn't telling Z about any embarrassing stories. Then I would have to kill her. Literally. I looked out the great view of my room.
Suddenly a huge black winged horse swoops up and zooms past my window and up way over the roof until it was a dot in the sky. The hell was that? I looked down to make sure it didn't have any other friends coming, then walked around in my room. I had seen something like that before; it seemed way too familiar to me. I went downstairs and found Amos playing basketball with Khufu.
"Hey Amos, you know a couple things about horses?" He finished a layup on the monkey, then took a glass of water. "Horses? I know a little bit. You can always consult Zia; she's the horse expert." He downed his glass in a second. I narrowed my eyes. "How about ones with wings?"
Amos raised an eyebrow. "Horses with wings? Now you're going to ask me about ones that have white fur and pretty horns on its forehead?" I studied him. He seemed cool enough like he usually is, but I caught something in his eye. Doubt. Apprehension. What was that? Fear? "Amos, be real with me. What do you know about huge black horses with wings? This is the second one I've seen in a year; I think I have a right to know."
Amos sighed and sat on the couch. Khufu screeched and patted his basketball like he wanted another game. Amos thought for a while and levitated three metal balls. "It could be something. But the fact that you were even aware of such a creature is so incredible that I would hesitate to believe it."
He raised his hand and a book flew from the library to his hand. "Now, what do you know about Greece?"
