I do not own Kane Chronicles. I will try to make this chapter long.
Carter's P.O.V
I went to Zia. She was looking at the scrying bowl, her face intense. She was hard in concentration. I walked up to her "Hey Zia. You said that you found Setne. So where is he?" She said "Apparently, he's in Egypt." That surprised me. I mean, after all, he hated his father, Ramesses ll. Why would he want to be in Egypt? "So, I think we should get ready first. I'll go tell Sadie." I walked out of the room and made straight for Sadie's room. When I got there though, she opened the door before I could knock. [No Sadie. It doesn't mean that you're a diviner. Now will you please shut up so I can continue?] She looked really angry. "What is it, Carter? I'm not in the mood." Sadie said. I cleared my throat. "Um… Zia found Setne. He's in Egypt. What do you want to do?" Sadie scowled. "Isn't it obvious, Carter? Let's go there and bring him to Dad's court." Here's the thing: Our dad is Osiris. And we kind of lost Setne and…well… it's a long story that includes seven pink ribbons, me and Zia turning into demons, and Walt almost dying. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, that's what you want to do. But we need a plan. How will we bring him to Dad's court?" Sadie scowled. (Yeah, Sadie loves scowling.) [Ouch! Sadie, that's my knee! Anna! A little help please?] Uh, sorry about that. Anyway, Sadie said "Why are you asking me then?" I took a deep breath. "When we fought Setne the first time, we had gods on our side. Now, the only gods that might help are Dad and Anubis. And Dad's pretty busy, and Anubis is Walt." Sadie blushed. "Well, what do you want to do then?" I replied " What if we trick him?" Sadie looked at me puzzled. I told her my plan. Her eyes brightened "That's a brilliant idea! When do we start?" I said "Probably a few days from now, maybe even weeks or months." Sadie groaned. "What? Why not now?" I said impatiently. "Because we need to train Anna, remember? Zia said after all, she's powerful. And we need to confirm that Setne's even in Egypt." Sadie sighed. "Fine. I'll go ask her if she knows her path already." Sadie left to go to Anna's room. Meanwhile, I went to the library. I met Cleo, who was reading one of my dad's books. I greeted her. "Hey Cleo." Cleo quickly slammed the book shut and thrust it under the table. A look of embarrassment clouded her face. "Oh, uh, hi Carter." She said, obviously embarrassed. I laughed. "It's ok. You're not the only one I see reading my dad's books." She blushed. [What Sadie? I'm sorry, I didn't know at the time that I was making her uncomfortable. Can I continue now?] She cleared her throat. "So, what can I do for you?" I replied. "Well, I need a spell that would give unlimited power." She looked at me, clearly puzzled. " A scroll that gives unlimited power? I don't think there's a scroll like that, or a book, or anything!" My hopes dropped to zero. I should have known that there wouldn't be a scroll like that because if there was, what's the point of hosting gods for those who love power? "Thanks anyway Cleo. See you around." She nodded. Right when I turned around, she continued on reading the book my dad wrote. Even though Cleo is bookish, it doesn't mean that she isn't powerful. I've seen what she can do. I still remember that magician she turned into a book. After that incident, I made a mental note not to make Cleo angry. I don't think I want anyone turning me into a papyrus scroll. I walked out of the library, and bumped into Walt. "Hi Carter." Walt said. "Hi Walt. Have you seen Sadie?" Walt replied "Yeah, I think I saw her in the kitchen." I made my way to the kitchen. When I went inside, I had to duck my head. It was utter chaos.
