Chapter 1: Welcome to Manhattan
"Come on Carter I want to go!"
"No Sadie, remember what Uncle Amos said?"
"I know, I know. He said not to cross over into Manhattan because that side of the river is bad luck."
Sadie knew that in Ancient Egypt the west side of the river is considered unlucky but she wanted to see how it was there.
"But I also remember something else uncle Amos mentioned," Sadie stated. "He said Manhattan had other gods, gods we don't know about!"
"You're right! We should hurry before Bast gets back," Carter said.
Sadie, Bast, and he were traveling across the country looking for all the children with the Blood of the Pharaohs and they had just stopped at a gas station to ask for directions. Sadie and Carter walked out the door of their 'rented' Toyota minivan and walked toward the bridge to Manhattan. They had just crossed the bridge when Bast stepped out of the gas station mini mart. Luckily they had already blended in with the crowds of business people and street performers that ere roaming the streets.
"Oh no, Bast just got out of the mini mart." Carter said sounding worried.
"Don't worry Carter, I enchanted some shabati. Hopefully Bast won't notice," Sadie said confidently.
Carter and Sadie were enjoying their stroll through the streets, watching street performers and looking at the tall buildings. Even with Carters Khopesh (curved Egyptian sword) strapped to his back, none of the people noticed them. After about thirty minutes of walking, Sadie and Carter came across something strange.
"Carter, what are those!" Sadie exclaimed!
"I have no idea!"
