Hi again. Sorry for the wait although you probably can't tell on a recording. Anyway where were we at again? Oh yes pulling Sadie 'out of phase.'
Like I said, I left Carter back in the Hall of Judgement. I could tell he was hosting Horus and the two of us never got along. Except for this one time. But that's a whole different story.
Sadie's telling me to get on with the story. Fine.
Sadie was looking around curiously. "Where are we?"
"New Orleans."
"What are they doing?" She was looking at a group of mourners 'cutting the body loose.' I explained the ritual to her. It was my job to know about these things. "Very Egyptian, that ritual."
"Lovey," she rolled her eyes. "You must be so much fun at parties."
I shrugged. Truth was, I didn't get out much. I had so much to do in the Hall, I never really had free time. In fact, even New Orleans had changed since I'd seen it last. It was no longer the drowned city I had come to love, but a new and rebuilt town. It was quite nice.
"Where's Carter?" She asked again. Her accent was British and actually a little cute. (Yes Sadie. It's out there for everybody to here. Whatever.)
With another shrug I explained. "I never liked Horus much. But Isis was always nice to me."
"I'm not Isis!" I gave the blonde and red headed girl an amused look that only seemed to infuriate her more.
"Sure you're not," I smirked at her. "And you're not very nice either? Why hasn't your family married you off yet?"
Immediately I knew I had said something wrong. Even though I wasn't sure what. Like I said, I didn't get out much. Sadie's face turned bright red and I could almost see steam coming out of her mouth. What's next, breathing fire? Of course, with Sadie, you never know. (Shush. It's true. Now let me tell the story!) "No! Let me tell you something, God of Toilet Paper! This is the 21st century! We don't just 'marry people off!'"
She saw my slightly confused face and sighed. "You really do need to get more updated on modern courtship rituals. You should get out more."
"I can't. I have to take care of the souls of the dead and the Hall. I heard that the 5 were back in the world and I thought Osiris might come back to help, but... Why would he neglect his duties?" I must've looked pretty upset because Sadie sat back down and put a hand over mine.
"Because," said Sadie. "Sets trapped him inside my dad."
My eyes widened as she began to explain everything that had happened since the 24th. It sounded crazy. But as she kept talking I began to come around to the idea that if I gave them the Feather everything would go right. If they failed, it wouldn't really matter, Set would destroy the world anyways. Sadie kept speaking, with me hanging onto her every word. I had to admit, even though she talked at breakneck speed it was kid of cute. In an irritat- I mean in a cute way, of course Sadie.
She finished the story and stared at me with large, blue, pleading eyes. I gave her a slight smile. "Quite the story. Okay. You can have the Feather to defeat my- Set." Shi- I mean shoot. The last thing I wanted to let her know was that Set was most likely my father. "But first you must answer three questions." I opened my palm and the Feather of Truth appeared in a burst of blue light. I handed it to her. She took it like it was a grenade. "Are you ready?"
"Sure. Doesn't that count as a question?" Ah ha. She got me there.
"I guess it does. You bargain like a Phoicean sea trader, Miss Kane. Next question: Would you sacrifice yourself to save your brother?"
She looked absolutely furious at me for even suggesting such a thing. She opened her mouth and the Feather began to glow. She sighed. "Oh fine! Yes, I would."
I nodded and asked the final question. "Would you sacrifice your father to save the world?"
Their was a battle going on beyond her blue eyes, which reflected it. She was struggling with realizing the truth. She only thought it was a question, but I knew better. It wasn't a question, but a choice. One side was winning the battle in her mind. "Yes. Only of it would save the world." She looked utterly ashamed. With a nod from me she pocketed the Feather. "Now it's your turn to answer a question. You kept slipping up on something. What is it? Sets your father. Isn't he!?"
Crap. She'd noticed. I decided the best thing to do was to tell the truth. "I don't know. All the myths are jumbled up. When I was born my mother gave me to Osiris. She didn't want me to know my father. But I'm not sure thats it. I was different. I wasn't strong or a warrior, like my cousin Horus. She just didn't know what to do with me."
I could guess Sadie knew what I was talking about. About being different. The red streaks, the combat boots; all signs she stood out and was different. "Oh."
I stood and nodded. "I wish you luck, Miss Kane. And maybe next time we meet you can, ah, bring me up to speed on modern courtship rituals."
The look on her face was utterly priceless. I should've brought a camera or something. I gave her a grin just to let her think I was messing with her. And with that I shadow traveled back to the Land of the Dead.
I could hear her words bouncing off the walls. (Haha, you didn't think I could hear you did you, Sadie? MWAH.) "Self important, insufferable, incredibly hot!"
"Did you get the Feather or not?"
I grinned and returned to the scales.
Well I hope you enjoyed it! Review?:)
