Hi, I'm back. What's up all? Hope you like this new chapter. I know it's short, but bear with me.
After a while, Selena decided to settle down for the night. Her things were packed, but it was late and David couldn't exactly drive in the dark. His sight wasn't as good as it should've been, so he decided to stay the night there. He had called his mother, who consented, as long as he came home early in the afternoon.
Just before she went to sleep, Selena found something on her nightstand, a letter attached to the book of the dead. She opened the envelope and took the letter out to read it.
Dearest Selena,
I have to be honest; I never expected to see you again. I thought the gods would've found you and sent Sekhmet to kill you as they did with my first child, Kebecht. I know you don't know much of me, no one truly does, and perhaps you're angered at me for not revealing myself sooner, but I had my reasons.
I didn't want the others to find you. If they did, you would've suffered the same fate as Kebecht, and that was beyond bearing enough. It was bad enough I lost your mother, Amy, who I have enclosed in the envelope pictures of, who died in childbirth. Don't blame yourself, she doesn't want that. How do I know? I've talked to her spirit.
She's watched you, Selena. You're entire life, she's closely monitored you when I couldn't. When I can get you to communicate with her, you'll need to thank her for that. Selena, don't get me wrong. I loved your mother, immensely. She was a sweet woman, strong and smart too. Fiercely independent…sounds like someone I know. And that someone happens to be you. Somehow I knew you'd be just like her, but with hints of me in there.
You claim we're nothing alike, but you have no idea how wrong you are. We are more alike than you will ever know. Like me, you are, innately, familiar with the spells in this book. The spells and all rituals that go with them. You can use magic, Selena. You just haven't found it yet. Your mind is not fixated on English, though that was what you were taught. You read Egyptian hieroglyphics like perfect English. Don't believe me? Read the book. Trust me, you'll be surprised.
Well, you have quite a journey ahead of you. You shall be travelling to New York, to Camp Half Blood, and then on to Mount Olympus on behalf of your pantheon. I hope to see you again soon. I know this might not mean anything to you, but I love you Selena.
Yours very truly,
Anubis,
AKA: Dad, father, etc.
Selena rolled her eyes. There was no way she could read hieroglyphics perfectly, right? She looked down at the book and debated whether or not to read it. She decided it would be best to just read it another time. Right now, she needed sleep. Selena put the letter back in the book and nestled up in her bed and fell asleep.
She didn't dream that night…
Well, I know this chapter wasn't much, but I hope it was okay. See ya guys later.
