Chapter 1
Cairo, Egypt
The sky was dark and the stars twinkled in the sky, while the light glazed the sand. The pyramids passed the clouds in the sky, and the golden palace shines in the view. Inside the golden palace a strong woman sat on her throne. Her black hair shined from the moonlight, her vulture headwear wears heavy against her head, and the golden sheer of cloth that covers her. She sat possessed, legs crossed, her hand placed against her cheek, while her other hand holds tightly to her staff. Her name was Mut the Mother of gods and the Queens of Goddesses. Across from her stood Ra known as the sun god. His large strong wings were made of gold as was his armor. His short white hair brushes across his forehead, and his thick eyeliner brushed across his eyelids. "Ra where might Sekhmet be? She has been missing for some centuries. I am concerned she may have created chaos in an area," Mut stated. Ra eyes widened due to her statement, but narrowed knowing she has nothing to worry about. "My Queen I'm sure she is off creating chaos, but nothing we should be alarmed about. Let her be," Ra answered. Mut stared at him knowing she will send someone to search for this chaotic goddess. She glanced at a solider, and he quickly lowered his eyes not to dare look her in her eyes. "Solider," she asked gently, "Go retrieve Thoth." The solider bowed in respect, but before he turned around. The door opened quickly causing a loud bang throughout the palace. A tall tan skinned man with short silver hair with a glass on his eye, and a cobra belt wrapped around his waist appeared. His wardrobe was rather simple, with a tight black cloth that embraced his upper body. Gold plated bracelets wrapped around wrists, which all Gods and Goddesses wear to show others their position/title. Thoth is a God of the Moon, Magic and Writing. "Why must you make such a drastic interest Thoth!" Ra stated while rubbing the back of his head. "Well I must announce my presence to the mother of Gods and Queen of Goddesses," he answered with his arms crossed, "Sekhmet is who you seek?" he asked turning his attention to Mut.
Mut nodded still keeping her position on her throne. "I fear she is creating chaos, but I sense she is not in the area. I would like to know her location," she responded. Thoth face went serious and felt the nervosas coming off from her. "My Queen she is in area that is not near us, but in a place known as Japan," he answered. Ra and Mut eyes widened and jaw dropped. Silence filled the room. Eventually, Mut finally spoke breaking the silence. "Then I will send my best warriors after her, she has no business in an area we don't know of." Ra nodded in agreement. Ra faced both Thoth and Mut, "I know who to send. Bastet, she is Sekhmet other half, surely, she would know how to control her if Sekhmet goes into rage and kill innocents. Along to travel by her side is Anubis, which will keep her company," Ra stated. "Than it is settled, bring both of them two," Mutt ordered. Ra left both Mutt and Thoth, and went to search for Anubis and Bastet.
The sun has slowly risen, shining on the desert sand and the glittery that glistened. The gold temples reflection sparkled against the sun, and the water in the river spoke words. A beautiful woman sat near the river twirling a flower between her fingers. She was known as Sekhmet other half, she was the Goddess of Protection and also Ra's daughter. Her eyes were remarkable, one eye was the color of the desert, while the other eye was the color of the ocean. Her silver/white hair was as silky as an expensive wardrobe. Her sheer clothing touched with gold jewelry showed her position in the palace. Cats roamed the area, but two in particular were her protectors and comforters. Two large sized lions that were even above the servants, always stood by Bastet side. A tall man approached her, his raven hair blew with the soft wind, and his eyes reviled death. His ears resembled a jackal and his armor covered his body. Anubis was his name who was known the God of mummification and afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. Death followed his presence, but it did not intimidate Bastet. She was well aware of his status. She narrowed her eyes at the God who so boldly sat beside her and asked, "What brings me the honor of having you in my presence Anubis?" He smiled at the woman and was happy that she acknowledged him. "Goddess as you are aware, our Queen request of our presence. Ra has informed me and ordered me to pass on the message to his daughter. You," Anubis responded. Bastet examined his face to spot a hint of lie. She stood up and left while the soldiers opened the grand doors for her. The lions and Anubis followed behind, while smirking at the woman and her seriousness. She walked modestly and with confidence. As they approached a much larger entrance where Mut and Ra were waiting for them. They bowed to show respect to Ra and Mutt. "Bastet, my beautiful daughter," Ra said while sitting on his throne beside Mutt "how have you been?"
"I am well my King, I am aware this is an important matter," Bastet responded. "Yes, it is. Sekhmet is who I want both of you to retrieve," Mut stated looking at both of them. "We are worried that she may have caused chaos in another area," she continued. Bastet narrowed her eyes, while Ra was waiting for a reaction out of her. She wore sheer hiding half her face, only her eyes were present along with her golden headwear. Anubis stepped forward and asked, "Yes my Queen we will go and retrieve her. Where might she be?"
"Japan, it is south of here," Mut answered, "I do not care how you get there, but I am assuming their culture is different there. So, try to blend in and try not to stand out. If you do Sekhmet might be aware of your presence there, and start war."
Anubis and Bastet bowed and left, while they did Ra turned to face Mutt, "Do you think a war will happen? Sekhmet and Bastet do not get along so well. I fear this will create a war that will kill innocents. Not only that other Gods and Goddess protect those lands, and demons and humans roams their as well. It could be dangerous sending them in an unfamiliar area." Mutt didn't answer instead turned to look at the pyramids and the statues that were of her.
Anubis and Bastet left the palace, and wondered through the desert. The sun was beaming on their skin, and Anubis stopped in his tracks. Bastet had already changed her clothing that might fit into the feudal area of Japan, black and gold clothing that fit her figure, along with fabric that covered half of her face. Anubis never changed. "Bastet, does something trouble you?" he asked. She tilted her head and glanced in his direction making eye contact with the God. She finally responded, "It is best if we turn into our true forms, it will be faster."
A wind appeared underneath her causing a tornado the color of snow, and the wind suddenly disappeared a large lion the height of pyramids appeared. She suddenly took off and flew in the sky leaving Anubis to follow. He sighed, and transformed into a large black jackal. He took off into the sky to follow her and her companions.
