-Amos Kane-

"Well, this is the last thing I expected." A male voice rang through my ears, which I struggled to wake up, gasping for air.

My vision refused to clear up, all I could see was a tall figure peering down at me. "Amos Kane, host of my son?" He asked.

I groaned as I tried to sit up, but something kept me pinned down. "Geb?" I asked amongst the confusion swimming in my head.

"Ah, so you recognize where you are then?" He continued.

Honestly, I have no clue. The last I saw was the mud enveloping around me. "We're trapped underground," Set concluded.

Geb stopped leaning over me and turned towards the blur of red. "Don't be so alarmed or anything." Geb chuckled a bit.

"Sorry, I don't find this funny in the least." Set growled. "My host is pinned by that crazy mud and we can't do a damn thing about it. And I'm trapped down here because of it!"

"Well, be lucky she has no control of the earth in these parts," Geb started. "She really thought she had you too. I bet she is throwing a hissy fit as we speak."

"What the hell would a Greek Goddess want from me?" Set demanded.

"Well, you are the God of Chaos." Geb reminded.

"I'm changing my ways!" Set complained. "I have yet to kill Amos, so give me a break!"

"Maybe if you didn't kill in the first place, we wouldn't find ourselves in this situation, Seth." Geb pointed out.

"Ugh, you really had to bring that awful name into this too?" Set grumbled.

"Seth is better than Set," I spoke up.

"Oh great, now my annoying host is getting involved." Set scorned.

My vision cleared up a bit more that I looked around me to see that I was stuck in a sea of black mud. I told myself to calm down before I could panic again. You can thank my father later. Set growled.

I will, but how do we go about getting out of here? I tried swimming again to find the same results as before.

Find the almighty Goddess of Mud to help us. Set scolded.

Sorry, I only know of one, and she's the reason we got in this mess in the first place. I reminded him. Hell, I think she took my staff.

Yeah, well you're not completely unarmed. Set added. All you have to do is tell the world that Disco is better than Jazz-

I should have known you would have kept a grudge as pathetic as this. I complained.

I hold grudges against my own family, Amos. What makes you special?

I am not arguing with you. I decided quickly. Let's find a way to get out of this first.

So I found myself struggling to swim through the mud that I swear felt like gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe instead. The only thing that seemed to change was my energy. All I saw was the sea of disgusting mud and the darkening sky. And the thought that night was approaching already helped bring rise to my panic again.

"Hey," a female voice spoke from around me.

"Oh Gods, not again!" I complained instantly.

A youthful face peered up at me from the mud though, partially a relief that it wasn't Gaia again. "Oh no, I heard about the damage. So I came by to see, and what do you know? My husband is stuck in mud."

"That's not even humorous Nephthys." Set growled through my own throat, which I've gotten overly sick of yet used to.

She giggled a childish giggle in my opinion. That's because she is a child. Set confirmed.

"Nephthys, I didn't think you were into mud, just clean water." I spoke with interest.

"Oh yes, I definitely prefer the Nile over this. This is some corrupted mud too, may I add." She agreed.

"Can you help us out then? If not for Set, please for the sake of the House of Life." I asked quickly.

"Awe, a Chief Lector asking me for a favor?" She shot me a coy smile. "Well, you have done me the favor of dealing with my brother/husband. Let me see what I can do. It won't be much though; I can barely breathe through this."

"Anything is better than what I've been doing for the past five hours," I explained.

I waited a few seconds when a push of wind struck my back. Weird, I'm pretty certain that Shu is the Wind God. But I turned around, or at least tried to, to find a rather large wave of the black mud heading my way. I closed my eyes and tried to use the most of the 'push' they gave me.

"Well well, I guess the idiot did survive after all," A familiar voice greeted.

I struggled to open my eyes and found myself looking up at Kyra. "You sure that's Amos?" Sadie asked quickly.

Kyra shook her head to her second cousin and extended my staff- wait, how did she end up with my staff? "Don't just sit there Amos, I won't stand here all day." Kyra urged.

I quickly grabbed it and tried to kick my feet through the thick mud to help get me out, but I highly doubt it did much. I collapsed onto the sand, not caring about the fact that I am coated in the greasy mud. "Oh yeah, this is the work of Gaia." Jackson's voice spoke up after I closed my eyes to ease my breathing. "She used the same type of mud to try and drown me not too long ago."

"But you can't drown," Annabeth continued.

"Apparently that's a lie." Percy shrugged it off as I opened my eyes. "Hey, you want a quick shower by the river?" He offered.

"Will it help get this crap off?" I asked, not caring that I just cursed in front of kids, which Kyra's eyes narrowed.

Percy laughed, "yeah, at least a good portion of it."

Carter barely touched his hand to my shoulder and took in how thick the solution was. "You were swimming through this?" He asked.

"Only a majority of it, yeah." I hastily replied. There was no way I was going to mention the crazy family reunion I just endured with Set.

"You didn't have to if you had simply left with us," Kyra reminded.

My eyes widened once I took in that the Kanes hadn't really met Kyra. "Oh, uh, Carter and Sadie, this is Kyra Teal-" I nervously started.

Kyra rolled her eyes. "We already introduced ourselves."

"Oh good." I summed up and collapsed to the sand again.

"Alright lazy, this nice kid just offered you a quick rinse off. Let's move." Kyra started tugging on my right arm.

"Gods, you never let me take a break." I complained as I opened my eyes once again.

"Hey, this time your predicament was on you," Kyra explained. "So stop wasting everyone else's time."
