Sadie hasn't seen the gods (Besides Anubis) in months, untill her Ba decided to take her to their throne room.
Already there was Horus, Isis, Bast and Thoth. Horus seemed angry about something, since he was leaning back in his thone with his arms crossed across his chest.
Next to him was Isis and Bast, who seemed to be talking about something quietly. Happiness bloomed in Sadie's chest when she saw her old protecter. She last saw Bast just before the gods retreated to the heavans.
She ran to the middle of the throne room but no one looked at her. They either didnt care or couldnt see her.
"Bast!" Sadie shouted but the cat goddess continued her conversation with Isis. Sadie was about to speak again when Horus spoke.
"I still can not believe you asked him to come here as well" Horus muttered. Isis stopped her conversation with Bast and sighed.
"Horus, as much as I'd hate to admit it, we need as much help as we can get. And that unfortunately includes-".
The doors suddenly burst opened, cutting Isis off, and in strolled Set looking as red as usual. The last time Sadie had seen Set walk into a throne room, Osiris had died.
"Talking about me I hear" Set said with a grin, showing off his sharp teeth. Horus rolled his eyes and huffed.
From behind Set came Nephthys, who had a small smile on her face. Sadie hadnt seen Nephthys much, or had much interaction with her but she seemed nice enough. But if she married Set, she had to be some type of crazy.
"Hello Sister, Nephew, Husband. Oh Bast i haven't seen you in a while" Nephthys greeted with a kind smile. Yep, she probaly had a 6th toe or something.
Upon seeing Nephthys, Sets face went blank. While the other gods greeted her back, Set said nothing. He seemed solem, which was strange from the god of evil. Nephthys, on the other hand, was still smiling. Whatever happened between them, didn't seem to affect Nephthys as much as it did Set.
Nephthys sat next to her sister, while Set sat next to Thoth.
"You should just apologise" Thoth told Set, who scowled. I got confused. What did Set do? Well, what has Set done to Nephthys?
Just then, two more people walked in. One of them was my dad, the other was Walt.
Before my eyes, my dad seemed to change alittle. It took me a moment to relize that Osiris was now in charge. Osiris wore a peaceful expression on his face, instead of dads usual smile.
Walt meanwhile, changed into Anubis, who turned his glace in my direction. For a moment, Sadie thought it was Anubis who had summoned her ba here, but that thought was shattered when Anubis tilted his head to the side with a confused expression. Sadie could only shrug in reply.
"Now that all of us are here" Horus started.
"Ra's not here" Set muttered but Horus was either ignoreing him or didnt hear him since he kept talking.
"Let us speak about the issue at hand" Horus said leaning forward.
"There have been multiple attacks on mulitples nomes by Setne" Isis said.
Sadie's eyes widened. Carter and Uncle Amos had been stressing about the attacks on the nomes but no one knew who was doing them. It made Sadie angry that she, Carter, Percy, and Annabeth had worked so hard to take him down but he escaped anyways.
"Didn't the Kanes take care of him" Set asked.
"And we need to find a way to take down this rogue magician. And once we do, make sure he finally recives judgment" Isis said, also ignoreing Set. Like mother, like son. At Isis's words, everyone turned their gaze to Anubis and Osiris.
"And this time, I assure you he will recive judgement" Osiris said. Sadie was surprised by how smooth his voice was.
"We will be there as well. Just in case" Thoth said. Anubis's eyes narrowed but he said nothing.
"Was the book of Thoth recovered" Nephthys asked. Thoth nodded.
"Yes, well the part that he had in his possesion was. The other part is with Ma'at" Thoth answered.
Sadie was confused. Why would they leave such an important book with a feather?
"Thank you for the important information Thoth" a voice said. Setne.
Anubis seemed to recognize him to since he growled.
Setne appeared just infront of the door.
"Its great to know you have such wonderful plans for me! To bad you'll never able to go thru with them" Setne said with a grin.
Isis stood up with her staff in her hand and Setne's eyes widened before narrowing dangerously. But he wasnt looking at Isis.
"Kane" he spat takeing a step forward.
Anubis turned towards me, his usually chocolate brown eyes looking black.
"Sadie go".
The last thing I saw before I woke up a bright Setne throwing something and a bright light with a bang.
Sadie sat straight up in her bed. She turned to her clock and internally groaned at the time.
5:30
Usually she never woke up this early but she had to see if what she saw was true.
She sprang out of her sheets and sprinted to Walt's room.
She knocked on the door and stood there. When he didn't answer she knocked again but with more force. Once again no answer. She huffed and attempted to open the door.
Locked.
A normal person would've tried to break down the door, but Sadie was a magician.
"W'peh" Sadie whispered. The hieroglyphic appeared and the door clicked open.
She had hoped to open the door to see Anubis asleep in the bed or hear the sound of Walt takeing a shower but the room was empty.
Sadie felt anxiety creep up in her but quickly pushed it down. They were lrobaly still dealing with Setne or finishing up his judgeing.
She closed his room door and ran over to Carters.
She knocked on his door and to her relif, he opened it.
"Sadie its five in the morning, what do you want" a tired Carter groaned quietly.
"I think Setne escaped". That woke him up.
"Come in" he said, opening the door wider.
Once inside, she sat on his bed and told him about her dream. He looked even more worried every second.
He walked over to his desk and grabbed the plastic snow globe that once held Setne. He brought it closer to to his face before makeing an angry sound.
"Yeah hes gone" Carter sighed putting the snowglobe back down.
"We have to get to the goods throne room" Sadie declared, standing up.
"And how are we supposed to do that" Carter said exasperated.
"I belive I could help with that".
The siblings turned around to see the goddess Nut standing in the door way.
"Come, we must talk" she said holding out her hand.
