Chapter 2 Slave to Magic
The trio was in the temple's courtyard. They sat in a circle looking at one another and thinking of truths and dares. A crazy-looking person came in with a whistle. His hair was light brown and his eyes were glowing red. His eyes were sparkling with excitement "You know the rules. Don't cheat, nothing inappropriate, tell the truth, and remember to have fun!" He then blew the whistle.
"Bastet, truth or dare?" Wepwawet said with a glint in his eyes.
"I choose, hmm, dare." Bastet replied thinking wisely.
"I dare you and Anubis to start fighting." Wepwawet said laughing because he knew it was going to be funny.
Wepwawet then motioned the crazy-looking guy over and whispered something in his ear. The crazy-looking guy smiled at what he heard. He then snapped his fingers and hollered: "Anyone comes up to place a bet between Anubis and Bastet?! Who would win in this battle?! Remember pay me, Set the almighty deity of chaos, American money!" After he said that the courtyard turned into a huge stadium filled with random people. Most people in the stadium ran over to Set to place their bet.
All of a sudden Set sat in the Stadium's announcement booth room next to his nephew, Horus. Horus had a head of a hawk. His beak had cracks and he wore an eye patch. Even though he looked like he has been beat up anyone could tell he was a very handsome fellow. They were both wearing business suits looking serious while the whole stadium started to cheer even louder.
"Now then, Horus who did you place a bet for?" Set said over the microphone.
"Well I'm not trying to go against my brother, but I placed my bet on Bastet." Horus calmly spoke.
"Everyone knows Bastet is going to win!" Set chuckled.
"Now then, let's see the contestants warming up!" Exclaimed Set. Anubis looked quite scared while Bastet smiled cracking her knuckles.
"Mama!" Anubis silently cried.
"Don't worry, Anubis! Just act as if you never met her." Wepwawet said calming down his friend.
"Fine, but you're paying my medical bills." Anubis mumbled. Wepwawet rolled his eyes as Anubis said this.
"Get out of my way." Anubis said gritting his teeth.
"What makes you think I will?" Bastet glared.
"Look, I don't know who you are but you better-" Anubis started.
In the background the crowd was going crazy! In the announcement booth room two angry, female deities that looked alike went behind Set and Horus. Set and Horus slowly looked at each other. Fear in both of their eyes as they turned around.
"Honey, how are you?" Set said nervously to the one behind him.
"Mom, nice to see you." Horus said in the same tone Set said to Nephthys to Isis.
"What's going on?!" Isis exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, dear. Do you accept my apology?" Set said in the sweetest voice.
"No. This is going to cost money." Nephthys said looking at him straight in the eye then took his money. The sister's then teleported out. "Ohhh!" The crowd yelled at Set and Horus.
"Be quiet, everyone!" Set said over the microphone.
"We had so much money! Now it's gone!" Cried Horus. Set and Horus patted each other as both of them cried saying 'My money!' In the ring Wepwawet eyes widened as he saw Nephthys and Isis appear. The trio huddled together as the sisters started to come closer. The trio backed up until they felt the corner of the ring.
"I can't believe we're going to die today this way!" Wepwawet cried.
"I have a confession before I die. Anubis-"Bastet exclaimed.
"-I dipped your dog bone in the toilet after Wepwawet used the bathroom and I-" Bastet said until Wepwawet said:
"Okay that's enough!" Wepwawet snapped his fingers then the trio was teleported in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Bastet turned into a panther and roared:
"I don't know about you but I'm leaving."
"I'm coming too. I've seen my mom angry. It's not pretty." Anubis said turning into a Golden Jackal. Wepwawet sighed then turned into a gray wolf. The trio ran as fast as they could. Nephthys and Isis were behind them floating on clouds.
"You know what-" Wepwawet then snapped his fingers again.
This time they were in the forest area of Egypt. The trio was in a cave filled with bushes. At the mouth of the cave you could see the most beautiful full moon you have ever seen. The serenity would just mesmerize you. The trio gawked at everything, taking in the view. They jumped back when Nephthys and Isis teleported there.
"Why were Anubis and Bastet fighting, Wepwawet?" Nephysis asked looking at the half-scared-to-death wolf-headed deity.
"We were playing 'Truth or Dare (immortal style)'." Wepwawet replied looking down. Isis motioned Nephthys to come over to her. They huddled together whispering something to each other. Isis then said to Bastet:
"You are the pharaoh's daughter so we can't hurt you; Anubis is my nephew, but Nephthys and I can hurt Wepwawet. Let's make a deal. Either we put all of you in a dungeon for all of your immortal life or we can make Wepwawet our slave for the summer. It's your choice. Make a wise decision." Bastet had a serious look on her face. She stared at Wepwawet who was on the floor with his eyes closed praying so that he wouldn't be a slave to Nephthys and Isis.
"I choose Wepwawet for your slave." Bastet said her face turning back to normal.
"Excellent choice, Bastet." Isis grinned.
"Bastet I would like to tell you something." Nephthys motioned her to come over. "Okay, what do you want, Nephthys?" Bastet asked coming over.
"Isis told me the future. So, goodbye daughter-in-law!" Nephthys then teleported out with Isis. Wait a second. Nephthys has only one son, Anubis! Bastet then felt something go up her throat. She quickly ran out of the cave to vomit.
"What did Nephthys said that made you vomit? Wepwawet asked in curiosity.
"Nope, I don't ever want to think of those vile words." Bastet replied shivering.
"You're like a little sister to me. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Wepwawet asked. Bastet nodded.
"By the way, why did you choose for me to be a slave for the summer?! I treat you like a little sister, but this is how you repay me?!" Wepwawet cried.
"Either dungeon to us forever or you being a slave to the deity of magic and her sister." Bastet calmly replied.
Wepwawet still cried.
