Now...ONWARD TO THE WONDERFUL (in my opinion it's wonderful, but you never know what other people think) STORY!We came to a room and Osiris, or Julius, or Carter and Sadie's dad, or whoever he is, sat down on this throne style chair. Two other chairs appeared and Anubis and I sat down.
Osiris, or Julius, or Carter and Sadie's dad, or semi-lord of the dead, or whoever he is, looked kindly at me and spoke, "You're probably wondering why you're here Camille."
"Yes sir." It was probably good to use my manners around a god. I didn't want to have any more of them trying to kill me.
"No need to call me sir. Just call me Julius." He said. "I hope that you are able to adapt to it more easily than Anubis here."
I turned to look at Anubis and smirked. He rolled his eyes and for a minute I thought that he would stick his tongue out at me.
"I summoned you here to help you." He spoke slowly.
"Summoned me?" I didn't like being summoned, especially if it caused me to lose so much energy, and having that feeling of fire at the base of my throat.
I'm sorry Camille. that burning sensation was my fault. I thought that your gods were trying to take you away someplace and I tried to protect you. Then I realized that it Osiris and I backed off. Sorry for the discomfort. I was going to respond, but then Julius continued speaking and I made sure to pay attention.
"Yes, and it was quite difficult." Julius's brow furrowed. "I think that your nature makes it extremely difficult for Egyptian gods to communicate with you.
That's exactly the reason Osiris. I've been residing inside of Camille for a couple of months, but was only able to communicate with her when her gods were discussing how to kill her. I shivered at the memory.
"Kill her?" Anubis's voice was surprised.
"Ya. Not sure why though." I was so confused. "I was summoned to them and they were discussing right in front of me how I would die. It was a unanimous vote that I should be put to death if I was hosting a god. When it was discovered that I was hosting Thoth everyone agreed that I was to die. No one was opposed to the idea." I frowned. "Not even my father." Funny thing is, I don't really think of him as a father. He never communicated, no gods were allowed to, but he did give me a gift and offer me protection at times. My regard for him as a father disappeared at once though when he had no objection to having me killed.
Anubis looked at me in shock. "They were discussing how to kill you, right in front of you?"
I frowned at him. "Ya. What's your point?"
"Nothing." He looked away shaking his head. Then it snapped back to attention to look at me. "Wait, your father was there?"
"Ya." I spoke in a slow tone like I was speaking to a three year old. "My dad is god of the dead. I told you this earlier."
"So your dad, is Hades?" Why did he sound so surprised?
"Ya. Why do you sound so surprised?"
Most of Hades kids are depressing kids. They dress in all black and one of them looked almost exactly like Anubis.
"That was probably Nico. From what people have told me he looked like Anubis's twin." I looked at Anubis again and then added, "Except for the ears. Nico didn't have pointed ears." Anubis's ears were pointed like elf ears.
Or jackal ears Camille. Remember that his animal is the jackal.
Right, whatever.
I thought about what Sadie had said earlier to me. Why aren't you hosting Anubis? "Anubis, are you able to summon skeletal beings and stuff?"
"Ish. I'm the god of mummification and funerals, so I can summon things related to that."
"So mummy wrapping?" That had to do with mummification.
"Ya." He sounded surprised; maybe he wasn't expecting me to grasp the concept so quickly.
"Anyways," Julius got us back to the point. "As I was saying Camille, I summoned you here to help you."
"How can you help?" I was slightly suspicious, but can you blame me? I had a whole bunch of gods out to kill me, and painfully too, whose to say that he wasn't planning to kill me as well? All right I'm paranoid, but I had the right to be paranoid. In the past forty eight hours the the gods, including my so called father, had discussed how to kill me and had tried to put those plans in action. I think it was good for me to be paranoid at this point.
He smiled. "Your gods want to kill you, well in this realm they cannot enter. This is mine and Anubis realm. Here you can train and learn how to handle Thoth."
Who says that I need to be handled? Thoth humphed.
"How to coexist with Thoth then." Julius corrected himself.
"So you're saying that here I can learn how to be a magician?" I sounded slightly skeptical. I still wasn't buying the whole magician thing, I was still on the fence.
"Yes." He smiled again. He sure likes smiling.
"Would Carter, Sadie, Bast, and Amos be here as well?" They really were the people who were going to teach me, even though they haven't really taught me anything yet. I noticed that Anubis's ears perked up when I said Sadie's name. I stifled a laugh.
"Seeing as they are your teachers that would be fitting. I will send you back to them; they'll know how to get here. Good bye Camille." He waved, but I don't think it was at me.
A light flashed and I was in a car with Carter's face about an inch from mine. "AAAHH!" I flinched back farther into the seat that I was in and Carter flinched back as well. "Invasion of personal space Carter." Truth be told, I thought that he was going to kiss me or something. Maybe he had a deluded thought that I was like Snow White. Stuck in a coma and could only be awakened by true love's first kiss. One problem, Carter wasn't my true love. Sure he was cute, border line hot, but he was not my true love.
Sadie was trying not to laugh and she spoke through laughter trying to be serious. 'What happened Camille? You just fainted."
I recapped what happened and Sadie and Carter smiled. "Well," Carter said, "I guess we're going to visit dad. Guess it's time to get the boat back."
Sadie shivered. "I don't want to have to go that way again. Isn't there any other way that we can get there?"
I had a light bulb moment. Maybe Athena wasn't too angry at me.
No she's still angry at you. Give me the credit. I'm the god of knowledge that isn't angry at you.
Something tells me that you're a little jealous that Athena gave me an awesome idea and you didn't. Or you're a tad jealous that I believe and like the Greek gods better than you.
I could care less, but I still am perplexed that you still like and worship the Greek gods after their many attempts on your life. You should worship and like the Egyptian gods, we aren't trying to kill you, we're trying to help you.
Funny, since it's because of you Egyptian gods that my gods are trying to kill me in the first place.
...Silence. you know, I think that I might have just out smarted the God of knowledge.
No you haven't. I just have realized that arguing with you has no point because you have to be one of the most stubbornest people alive.
And proud of it.
Whatever, why don't you tell Carter and Sadie the brilliant idea that your goddess of knowledge just gave you.
"Are there shadows there in your underworld?" Carter and Sadie looked at me like I was crazy.
"Ya. Why do you ask?" Carter sounded confused and it was really cute.
Think about that later Camille. Idea remember. Thoth told me.
Right. "Then I can get us all there." I may faint in the process, but oh well I can worry about that later.
"How?" Carter asked.
I smiled at them. "Shadow traveling."
Bwahaha! Review and tell me what you think. I love your feedback whether positive or not. :)
