Heres chapter 2. Once again I am letting you guys guess who the gods are. Remember they can be character from Birth By Sleep, FFVII, FFVIII and Devil May Cry.

We put 'goddess' because in the mythology Sekhmet, Isis, and Ma'at are female but for the sake of our rp we gender bended them XD


The place looked exactly like the temple, only the sun's warmth was creeping through the sheer curtains. Anubis began walking to the temple entrance, his clothing taking on a more regal feel to them. "Come...and stay close. Your presence will stir up quite a fuss, little one. Isis, is your husband waiting for you?"

Ven glanced up to him and nodded, though he feared the jackal god, he fear whatever else lurked near around even more. Isis let out a sigh as he crossed his arms and rolled his crimson eye, "Most likely. He's been trying to impregnate me again as of late. I could use a break from the constant courting to the bedroom..."

"Busy man, as usual." Another soft chuckle floated through the air. As the blond came closer, Anubis lifted one of his capes and slide it around the human, mostly covering him. "You smell is horrible at the moment." The younger male out a small noise at being covered, "I-I do?"

"Yes, you do."

"Anubis, what is the meaning of pulling my wife from me for a simple task?" Another voice spoke up. Walking from behind a pillar, a tall, muscled man approached the trio. Kohl lined eyes glanced down to the human. "A human sacrifice...that is not dead? How far have you sunken, Anubis?" Ven eyed the new god and hid further into Anubis, more afraid of the newcomer than anything else at the sighed and turned, his own long raven hair swaying with the motion, "Osiris..."

"Yes, my love? Was picking up his offering too much for the child?"

Anubis bristled slightly. "There was a slight mistake...but it worked in the end." Osiris suddenly frowned a moment, shifting the flail attached to his hip. "Anubis...you know that Ra will not be pleased you brought a mortal here without him being weighed on the scales. A task that will be interesting, considering it still beats in his chest."

"Osiris...the boy's soul is pure. I don't think even Ma'at's feather will outweigh him." Ven still hid against the jackal god, wondering what they were going to do with him. He shuddered at the thought of meeting the almighty Ra.

"A...pure soul? Why, that's impossible." The older god's blue eyes narrowed. "Take him to Ra, quickly. His stench is unbearable. As for you, my queen...we have business to attend to."

Ven swallowed hard and gripped the garment that kept him hidden. Isis feigned a surprised face, "Oh? Do we?"

"We do...and we should start before Ma'at finally figures out that riddle." With that, he pulled the 'goddess' away.

Anubis sighed slightly. "I can't believe we're related sometimes...but he does prove a point. Come." He started towards the biggest and brightest building. The smaller bit his lip and followed him nervously. He kept close and tried not to attract any attention to himself.

As they moved up the steps, music was heard. Anubis easily glided between the human souls dancing towards a man wearing an eagle's headdress. The jackal kneeled a moment, which caught the attention of this man. Ven looked around, suddenly an awe. As Ra rose a hand, the music and dancing stopped. "Anubis, it is a surprise to see you here. Your night of human offering is supposed to be taking place." Rising, the lesser god's eyes looked to him. "I have been to the human realm...and I brought back this." With that, he pulled back his cape to reveal the boy.

Ven's nerves grew tenfold as he caught sight of the others and remained silent as the jackal god spoke. He couldn't bring himself to make eye contact with the leader and instead looked at the floor.

All the other gods stared a moment before whispers broke out. Suddenly there was the tinkling of laughter. A few heads turned to a figure slightly doubled over in a lioness' headdress. The figure banged their spear on the floor as the snake around their shoulders flicked its tongue out. "Oh, this is too good! The powerful and all important Anubis' offering is a scrawny human too pitiful to even kill properly first!" The creator known as Ptah looked to his companion, "Hold your tongue, Sekhmet." His own gray-blue eyes scanned over the human's body.

"Indeed. Your input was not requested, Sekhmet," the eagle god commented. The lioness just gave a snort, the smirk not leaving his lips. Anubis glared at the 'goddess'. "Just because your husband is held in high regards doesn't mean you're anything more than a pampered and spoiled house cat." Ven couldn't help but smirk a little at Anubis' retort. Sekhmet growled, fangs showing as the snake turned its gaze to the Jackal god. The scar across his nose crinkled as his face contorted in anger. Anubis banged his staff on the ground in warning until the man in the highest seat stood. Ptah pushed his wife behind him, giving him a warning stare through shaggy silver hair.

"Just like Sekhmet to keep running his mouth", spoke Seshat, blonde spikes moving as he shook his head.

Sekhmet snorted, "So says the oversized bookworm."

"At least I have intelligence, something you so obviously lack." came the snapped reply.

"Enough! I will not have our kind resort to this meaningless hostility. Anubis, explain this. His heart still beats." Anubis ignored the bickering in the background, his golden eyes on Ra.

"I'm not sure, but I've decided to make him my servant here, seeing as he wasn't prepared for devouring." The little human's smirk was quickly wiped away at the word "devouring". The sun god seemed troubled by the story but after a small sigh, he lifted a hand. "Ma'at!"

Seshat perked at the mention of his own lover and watched quietly, waving the lion away. Osiris stepped from the shadows, watching the commotion unfold. Isis came behind his husband and waited. Ven blinked at the mention of Ma'at and wondered how exactly they were going to weigh his heart since he was not dead. The blonde looked around for the physical form of the scales master.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" A shadow graced the ground by Anubis before the soft fluttering noise was heard. A spikey raven haired man lowered by the Jackal until his bare feet touched the polished floor. The wings of variations of green and brown folded behind him and turned to a train. Ven peeked out from behind Anubis to stare at Ma'at.

"Oh my, what a runt..."

Anubis hummed faintly. "Finally something that will make your feather fall like a rock." Ma'at snorted and touched his woven band around his head that held a white plume at the side. "A bet you haven't won in centuries..." The feather keeper snapped his fingers, the golden scaled appeared in the middle of the floor. Gently, the 'goddess' picked the boy up in his palm and walked to the scales. The whole room watched carefully, Anubis especially, giving a slight smirk.

Ven swallowed hard when he saw the scales. What if he didn't pass? Would they throw him to Osiris? Though the god of death didn't seem all that threatening, he knew better. It was usually the gentle ones that were most evil. Perhaps he would grovel some more? Ma'at noticed the nervousness and smiled faintly. "Don't sweat it kid. If you have a bad heart, you're just devoured, no big." The blond's eyes widened further, his heart started thumping faster and faster. He looked back to Anubis in fear finding it odd that he turned to the god that brought him here in the first place for salvation.

Pulling the feather from his headband, Ma'at gently placing it on one side of the scales. The hand with the boy reached out and slowly tipped his palm, the other holding the middle of the scales to keep them level for now. "Come on..."

Ven bit his lip and couldn't supress the whimper that escaped him, watching the feather intently. He tried everything that would make himself lighter. Once he slid the human off his hand, his nose scrunched. "...no offense but, Seshat, remind me to bathe." His other hand slowly let go of the scales. They wobbled a moment, each side dipping a few times before they seemed to be balanced. Suddenly the scale tipped, the feather fluttering from the rush of air as it laid in the side that was down. Ma'at stood there, mouth agape. "I-impossible! No such thing as ever happened!" He shrieked, his wings fluttering out of anxiety. The rest of the room broke into conversations, even Osiris blinking in faint surprise.

Ven sat in the scale and rose a brow, he peeked over and saw the feather way below him. Isis smirked, hoping that the two gods would finally stop bickering. Peace between Anubis and Ma'at on the subject was centuries overdue. Everyone turned toward Ra, awaiting his next command.

The sun god seemed in shock as the rest of them before closing his mouth. "Well, that's certainly something you don't see every century...Very well, Anubis. He can stay, just watch him closely. A pure heart and soul here is quite a rarity."

Ma'at still stood there in disbelief. "They have to be broken!"

Ven blinked a little at the winged god's display and shifted inside the scale, "Can someone please get me down from here?"

Isis chuckled lightly and pulled his husband away from the crowd now the excitement was over. Ma'at sighed and plucked the boy from the scale and put him down, wings fluttering still in annoyance and worry.

Ptah couldn't help but continue to stare at the little mortal, a smirk painted on his features, "Hes...rather attractive for someone who resides in the world I created."

"Oh shut your mouth," Sekhmet huffed, the snake coiling around his shoulders. "Something that delectable deserves only one result."

"Oh please...I would not mind having one of my own creations in my bed. Too bad Anubis gets all the fun. Look at him, he's got the hungriest look in his eye for that soul." Ptah chuckled lightly and lead his husband away. "You're trending on dangerous territory, Ptah," came the grumble as he was pulled from the excietment.

Ven looked back up to Anubis with a 'now what?' expression. Anubis turned to leave. "Keep up." Most of the crowd had dispersed by now, leaving them and Ra himself. Exiting the temple, the Jackal god seemed to walk wherever he pleased until coming to a temple of polished obsidian. Ven walked as quickly as possible to keep up, partially wondering where he was taking them. His eyes glances up to the obsidian temple, tilting his head in slight curiosity. Once inside, the god leaned the staff against a wall, before reaching back and removing the cape, letting it flutter to the floor.

"There is much you have to do, the first being a bath."

"Where should I bathe?" he looked around, searching for a nearby river. The clicking of claws indicated the god was on the move once more, turning through hallways, they ended up at an outcrop with curtains fluttering and skimming the water. "Here..." With a gesture of his hand, he motioned to the entire area.

The human had quickly moved to follow him and blinked in surprise at the place. It was much nicer than anything he ever bathed in. "Oh...alright." with that he started stripping off his clothing.

"Make sure the smell is off of you before getting out." Anubis nodded before turning to leave. Anubis leaned against a wall, sighing softly. "How do I keep getting terrible luck?" He muttered to himself as he crossed his arms slightly. "I swear I was cursed at birth."

Ven wasn't quite sure what that meant but he stepped into the bath anyway, ready to at least try and get whatever it was that everyone else smelling. The blonde scrubbed himself with some bath salt he had found, hoping he was allowed to use them. After sniffing himself every now and then, he finally deemed himself clean enough. He stepped out of the bath and stood there for a bit. "What am I to wear?"

Just as the words fell past his lips, a few orbs of light appeared before turning into human shapes. Two disappeared before returning with cloth and the group quickly made a piece for the boy to wear. As this went on, three others grabbed him and rubbed his skin in scented oils. Once Ven was dressed they all vanished into thin air. The blonde had watched the orbs, at this point knowing not to ask. When they finished with him he looked down at himself, "Much better than what I had down in earth I suppose...now what am I supposed to do?" he wandered out of the bathing area looking around. Spotting the god, the boy slowly approached him with a bowed head, "I am finished... my master" he added at the end. Unsure of what to call him, he used what he was accustomed to with the Pharaoh.

Golden orbs shifted to look at him. "...curtain material? That's new." He fought off the smirk before moving from the wall. "Well, if you're to be a servant, you cannot stay that size. Perhaps Ptah or Isis can help." Ven looked down at himself. He had always been small, but he was less than a quarter of everyone's size. The god had a point. With that, Anubis strode out of the temple once more.
