Eddie's POV

"So Amneris?" I ask calling to the surface of Nina's mind.

"Yes Eddie?" she replies in a motherly tone.

"We know the story behind how you and Katai came to be but, there's something missing from the story. It's like it's blocked in our memory. Something is supposed to happen but we can't remember." Almost immediately she reacts.

"That is because you do not need to know."

"We are direct incarnations of you two, yet you won't let us know the entire story. Come-on don't leave us hangin'." We continue on the path, down into the Underworld.

"It is a personal matter that you have no need of knowing."

"How will we know how to over come it if it happens to-"

"We will guide you-"

"You mean you'll do it for us so we have no idea what the hell we did." She stopped walking. And by the time I noticing I had to walk all the way back up to where she stood. " What is it now?"

"All my years, I've never heard you talk to me this way."

"That's because it's the first time some one has asked to know about something that you refused to tell them." I responded sharply. Katai is gonna get back at me for talking to her like this. "Just tell me Amneris. It's not only your past, it's ours too. And we deserve to know about it."

She walked around me with her torch in hand and I ran to catch up. " There was someone else in our story."

"Who?" I asked. One thing about Amneris, she knows how to deal out her suspense.

"A child. My child."

"Woah woah woah, you had kids?" I asked in shock.

"Just the one. He was only 9 summers old when he was taken away from us." That's why she didn't want us to know. He was taken away and he was all that Katai had left of her when she was forced to be in the court of the pharaoh.

"Well what happened? Who took him?"

"Ra said that the child should have never been able to live on Earth. He was an heir to the throne of Osiris so he must be raised by the Gods."

" So he's still up there! He's with Isis and Ma'at in the Field of Rushes! Just go and-"

"He is not with my mother ,Isis. He was taken from us here on Earth. By the Pharaoh."

"So where is he?"I asked. If he's not with Ma'at then he's gotta be-

"He parished in the war. Along side his father."

"Neri I-"

"To watch both of them fall that day was miserable. He was taken immediately to the kingdom of Osiris and Katai was revived." she continued. "For three thousand years we've tried to find the answer to why Osiris brought him here. And my husband asked his brother, Horus for help, but he refused. Saying that if we'd listened to what we were told that we would not have this problem."

"Neri-"

"I just hope that we can find him one day. Even so he will not have a body to maintain. At least we'd have our closure. I hope my dear has found why we've been punished so harshly." I pulled her aside but she was already gone. Instead, there stood a teary-eyed Nina with my hands on her shoulders.

"I saw you die again," she cried. "I-I saw our son being murdered." I pulled her into a tight hug and kissed the top of her head. "What if we can't find him. What if Katai is gone for forever-"

"We'll find them both. I promise."

~ LATER~

Soon we set up camp on the pathway. After Nina linked me into the vision of our son, we were both too tired to go any further. Starting at the fire, we hadn't noticed the two Sobekian soldiers that came to us. "Ammut demands to know why you pass in her land." One said with a deep voice that was hard as nails.

"We seek the guidance of Osiris, King of the Dead as the Osirian son of Anubis and his Paragon." I guess I still had a little bit of Katai in me to be able to talk like this.

"The Devourer grants you good fortune on your journey, O Prince of the Dead. She only recommends that you hurry, for the Great King's enemy approaches." I nodded and sent them on their way.

"Who would dare be an enemy to Osiris?" Nina asked.

"Seth," Neri and I said at the same time. He is the one who killed our son and myself so many years ago.

That night, Neens slept cuddled into my chest, with my arms wrapped around her. She's been through so much these last couple of days, it's unfair to her really. First it was her Gran and then it was me.. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost her.

Nina's POV

" I dreamt of our son," I whispered to Ed as he played with my hair. I was still wrapped in his arms even though the night had passed hours ago. "He was so peaceful...he was a jokester just like you." A smile hinted at my lips. He looked just like Eddie. He was smart and cunning and he was so kind also.

"If only we knew what to call him." he mumbled. Amneris didn't dare mention the child's name. It would be too painful for all of us. She said that if we knew his name, the pain of seeing him die would come back to us twice as hard as it hit them.

"We should get going Eddie. We don't want to run into Seth."

"We should.. I just wish that I didn't have to get you wrapped up in my mess."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I smiled before standing to earn a whine from him. "We have to find Osiris. Come on."

"Fine."

After a few hours, we came to the Gates of Pharoah's Past. "This is the first obstacle Nina," started Eddie. "The Underworld as the tunnels times ten more difficult now that we don't have Katai."

Understanding the risk we were taking by going further down into the Land of the Dead, I nodded.

On the other side of the gates were two chairs. Hieroglyphs ran along the aged walls. An eerie voice played from nowhere. "Sit in the throne and see where you're ancestors reign. Find their mistakes, a comrad's freedom you shall gain."

Well, I thought. There's no turning back now.
