AN: Hey guys, just want to say that...well, I'm sorry about the big gaps between the paragraphs. My computer is seriously screwed. Maybe it'll go normal when I upload it. So, if there's no big gaps between the paragraphs when you see this, there was on the WordPad. I'm not crazy!

Hullo. Sadie here. I actually had to steal the mike from Carter. He was very enthusiastic to do the recording first. [Yes, you were, Carter, don't try and deny it!] Typical boy. Anyway, Gran and Gramps gave me the recording machine so it is technically mine. Carter still acts like its his though. Like I said earlier, typical boy.

So here's what's up. Bes, our dear friend, the ugly dwarf god, had lost his ren, his identity. All that was left was a shell of our friend. He didn't know us, or even himself. He's in Sunny Acres with Tawaret, who has a major crush on Bes. I swore to him I would make him better. I'm still trying to find a way to keep that promise.

Also, the guy I like, Walt is dying from a curse that has been passed down through his bloodline. Some days he can barely move he's in so much pain. Our healer, Jaz, has tried but she can't find a cure. It's so bloody unfair. Walt is such a good person. He doesn't deserve this.

Prom is coming up. All the girls can't wait! I just dread meeting Drew there. I'm not scared of her. I'm not! She's just such a pain in the bum. I always have an extremely clever comeback though.

Since we've defeated Apophis, the gods have been returning. Bast has come back, and I can hear Isis in my head again. Carter says the same about Horus. He didn't seem too pleased at the time. [Denial, Carter! I always know!] Just ignore him, he's just a boy. Anyway, Bast has theorized that if the gods are returning, Apophis must be escaping his bonds. We knew this would eventually, we just never realized how soon. That's Carter, saying he knew. Just ignore him, that's what I do. Or throw the occasional shoe.

Anyway, I'm here to tell you what happened next in our crazy story. We are Kanes after all. We're the unluckiest family ever. No joke, everything bad happens to us.

A few weeks ago, we defeated Apophis, but there were serious consequences. If Chaos vanished, so did Ma'at. The balance must be kept, so the gods had retreated from the world as Apophis was banished. Order must be kept. The world relies upon it.

Zia, Carter's girlfriend ran in. She was seriously beautiful, with long black hair and vivid amber eyes. Right now though, she looked panicked. "Carter, Sadie, Amos is in trouble. Jacobai and Kwaiare about to attack him in the First Nome. In the Hall of Ages. He's holding them off, but by tomorrow afternoon they'll break in. And..."

"What is it, Zia?" Carter asked her.

"He's calling on the power of Set to help him," she admitted.

"WHAT!" we shouted together.

"We have to go help him. Now. He won't hold up against Jacobai for long. Not even with the power of Set," Carter said, while grabbing his khopesh.

"Carter...I...I can't come," I said, not meeting his gaze. "I know how to help Bes now. I have to do it now."

"Now!" Carter shouted. "Uncle Amos needs us Sadie! Not just me, you too!"

"I know!" I yelled back. "But this is the time to help Bes! I can feel it! Whatever Apophis throws at us next, we need him for it! Besides, you can't portal into the First Nome. You'll have to go with Bloodstained Blade. I can portal to where I need to go. Then I can join you before you start fighting because I'll be very close to the First Nome then."

"Sadie..." he warned. "I'm trusting you. You better be right about this."

"I am, brother dear. Now go. You need to get going if you're going to be able to help him in time."

Zia stepped forward and grabbed Carter's arm, pulling him out the door. They vanished, as did the fake smile I had worn in front of my brother.

Hope you like! Please read and review. Constructive criticism welcome!
