I did quite some research before writing this just to make sure that Anubis didn't have a partner and that there was no single goddess embodying death. I really hope you enjoy this it's taken me quite some time. without farther ado, I give you The Goddess.
Chapter 2: bats
Sanguine-Latin word for drinker of blood
Insperational music: Forgotten- Avril Lavigne
(Anubis pov)
The girl, Sanguine, stood and barred her teeth. I smile seeing her fangs. So few gods had them nowadays. Only the "Evil" ones did. Of course, I'm not evil so that couldn't be true. Sanguine had blond hair that at moments looked scarlet or pitch black. Her lightning blue eyes stood out especially because the iris was encircle with a red trim. There was an air about her that seamed familiar, maybe she was a long lost sister. That would explain the similarities.
"Yes there is. Your parents are Osiris and Isis. Osiris was told a prophecy about you that made him fear for your life. So he sent you away. But in the end the prophecy was carried out and part of it was your part. Your mother and I had some help but we were able to save you from death. My husband fooled your parents into thinking that banishing you would keep you safe from your lover who was part of the trouble. I'm sure you know what happens next. The story of Isis and Osiris, your brother Horace."
My mother was making strange sense. I had never heard this story before but with every word pictures floated in my mind's eye. They put me in the role of Sanguine's lover and showed me the story. I knew my mother was telling the truth but, who was the lover. He had to have been a god.
"Do you two believe me or not?" I looked at my mother and so did Sanguine.
"I do." We said in unison. I rolled my eyes, stupid girl. "I understand why you need her but why me?" I asked cracking my knuckels.
My mother smiled, "Because you may be the key in finding out who her lover was and how to regain her memories."
Sanguine rolled her eyes. "If your done with me may I go home? Or at least go get my shoes and dress?" I looked over the girl noticing her short white dressing gown that was clinging to her skin due to wetness. I saw her smirk for a brief instance when she saw me looking.
Nepthys smiled again, "Actually I'd like to use my magic to dress you and fix your hair and make up. I saw that monstrosity you were wearing and I think I could do better."
Sanguin nodded, "Wait. Um Could I do something first? I would have done it sooner but I was interupted by a really bright light." Mother laughed and motioned for her to hurry.
Sanguine knelt next to the bat and closed her eyes, looking toward the sky. The sky grew cloudy and started to go black. Sanguine opened her eyes and coaxed the bat out of its hiding spot. Then she pt power into the bat letting it speak.
"My name is Sanguine and I'd like to send you and your family to a cave in the mountains. There is a large group of bats that will treat you as royalty if I give you my mark. Is that okay with you?"
I scoffed, "How do you know if you thought you were a human? And what family?"
Sanguine whispered "I've done it before and his family."
The bat looked her in the eyes and said, "My name is Ravine and this is my wife Coridalle and the little two are cythia and mona." Then a large female bat felw out. She had two littler bats hanging on her wings. "We would like to go." Ravine said happily.
Coridalle looked at Sangine, "Though you may not know who you are we bats have never forgotten. You gave the earth four bats, they populated and well, you are our creator. And not knowing so you ahve helped save many bat lives so I must thank you. For I would be lost with out Ravine."
I rolled my eyes at the foolishness of Coridalle. No love was that great, and exagerations are as good as lies.
Sanguine nodded her appreciation, "Get together in a group. And your daughters will need the mark too. Can they come out?" Mona and Cythia poked their heads up and recieved a white cross on each of their wings. Then Sanguine closed her eyes and there was a blackout and then the day returned to normal.
"What was that?" I asked. It might have been the stupidest thing ever.
Sanguine slapped me. "I probobly wont help another soul untill this is resolved. And I love bats they are the single most beautiful creture on the earth. And kudos to me for creating them!"
Thats it for this chapter! review! Did you like it? What could have been better? Let me know!
btw Anubis is a pale muscular man with shaggy black razor edged hair. Sanguine has pale skin, long blonde hair and blood red lips.
