Alerts: Based on "The Kane Chronicles" and the"Abduction Myth also known as The Rape of Persephone".This fic may be seen as an alternative universe.

It's funny, really, how mortals tend to feel lonely even when they know that their loved ones are by their side, even knowing that nothing in their human lives last forever and that they will all leave this world to meet again on the other side (well, if they got to pass Ammit that's it!).

So why do they suffer so much? They know nothing about loneliness, because they don't know the true meaning of this life, the other one and forever…

Love for a Dark Prince

The moon was such a deceived mistress. Its brightness could make even the strongest of man meet their doom at this treacherous desert, but fortunately he was a god; a being immune to its seduction and elegant traps.

At least, this is what he thought until the moonlight revealed a young woman with sand hair walking with such determination that it seemed that the desert itself bowed down to her, making her float as the lotus flower of Nefertem.

Suddenly stopping himself, the canine deity stared at the sky as if hearing the others Gods laughing at him, pointing out his rushing heart, shining eyes and confused sense. It could not be! There wasn't such a thing as love at first sight, was there? It should be Hathor's doing! Because he would never feel something like that, he has never felt it and even if he started feeling love for someone right now why it would have to be for a human?

But even at such a large distance he could see her sharp blue eyes, those two pieces of sapphire stolen from the blessed Nile. Hathor's doing or not, Anubis realized that his sacred heart has been stolen by a mortal woman and he couldn't help himself, but feel angry and happy at the same time; angry at her for charming him with nothing but her mere existence and happy that maybe he wouldn't feel so lonely anymore. So that was when Anubis had decided that he would do everything in his power to make sure that he would take her heart and keep it for eternity.

-" I hate to admit it, but Carter was right! I should have waited for him and Zia at the museum!" – a young maiden about her eighteen years said while trying to find the Sirius star in the Egyptian sky, knowing that they were camped at its west direction.

But really, it shouldn't have been this hard to find her way to their camp at all, she has been going through this stretch for a week now and she has a great sense of direction, she has never get lost, ever! She sighed. Sometimes, she wondered if the Gods liked to trick her or if it was just the irony of life.

But just when she thought that things couldn't get any worse, Sadie heard a howl, making her heart get stuck in her mouth.

- "Really, Sadie, what a brilliant idea you had! Getting yourself lost on this bloody Set's desert as if its inhabitants were cute, little creatures from circus! Really, you deserve a prize for it!" – she said sarcastically to herself while trying to not freak out. But all her self control went down the rabbit hole when she turned around only to meet face to face with a black jackal that was big enough to be compared to a lion.

This gigantic dog had a fur so dark that it could be mistaken as a part of the night sky, shadowing it from others and making him the epitome of darkness. However, what stopped Sadie dead in her tracks wasn't its size or fur color, but its eyes that somehow seemed very human to her. Maybe, that's because they seemed to emanate all of those human feelings that once in a while we all feel, like: curiosity, hits of anger and even ( if she dared to say) loneliness.

And only after decoding its eyes, she dared to let go of her initial fear not understanding why she was doing it (after all, jackals were wild animals), but feeling that it was the right thing to do.

She got her face close enough of it to share its breath, trying to mirror its feelings as if hoping that it would make things easier between them, but suddenly the magic of the moment was broken by a worried cry from a young man Sadie knew too well.

- "Carter…" – Sadie thought.

It just took a blink of her eyes to lose the sight of her mysterious companion and that was when she started to wonder if she hadn't dreamed that meeting at all.

Unknown to her, not so far away of where she stood, the object of her musings was looking directly at her as if reassuring her of his unsaid promises and eminent return…
