Sorry for the wait. I know I promised to update within this amount of time, but I just wanted to take a short break from writing.
"Wait a minute," interrupted Ra. "I hate to stop you in your 'making love', but I just want to ask something. Well, three things: How did it come to this? Who are the humans and the jackal? And where is Set?"
Rex and Kebechet broke their kiss and looked at him. "That, my friend, is something only my great-uncle can tell you," explained Kebechet.
"You see," began Osiris, "Set got bored one day because we only had control over one little country, so he decided to take over the world using the power in his life orb. But he knew the others would try to stop him, so he sent an energy wave of brainwashment over the heavens. But me, Horus, Anubis, Anput and Kebechet were not affected because our hatred towards him was too strong, so he had us locked in the dungeons. But Anput here managed to send a dragon to one of Anubis's children that he'd sent out twelve years ago. It found Max here and he and his friends, Rex and Zoe, so they came and freed us. We hatched a plan and ran to the throne room to listen. But because Set had brainwashed you, Ra, he made you give him the power of Omnipresence-"
"That little (He called Set something that made Ma'at hit him round the head with her wing) made me do that? Where is he now? I'll pummel him!"
"Stop, I haven't finished. Anyway, you gave Set Omnipresence so while he was releasing the energy; he was also following us and listening to our plan. He revealed himself when we were listening at the door. We started a battle and Rex and Zoe used their dinosaurs to help, with Kebby here using Max's dinosaur. He was a human before, you see. Their and his attacks managed to open up a magma-filled fissure in the ground. This surprised him and he threw the orb into the air and it landed on a rock in the magma. Meanwhile, Max here was trying to bite Set as his weakness in jackal saliva, but Set always managed to stop him. Eventually, he decided to knock the orb into the magma, but another Set appeared behind him and wounded him with an energy bolt. He sailed through the air and landed on the same rock that the magma was on."
Max nodded. "Then I used the last of my strength to kick the orb into he magma, where it met its end. Set was destroyed, and you remember the rest from there."
This explanation was met with only a "Wow," from the goddess Bastet.
"Hey Anubis," said Zoe, "do you mind if I talk to you? In private?"
"Not at all," he answered.
Later . . .
"Okay," Anubis said, "what do you want to say?"
"Well as you can see, me and Max are already boyfriend-girlfriend," began Zoe, "but I want us to be more than that, so I wanna ask you," she gulped, then continued, "If it's possible for us to . . . mate?"
Anubis looked a little surprised at this, but he settled and said, "Yes. It is possible for any two animals to mate if they from the same family of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and birds. But since Max is a jackal of the gods and my son, he mates in a different way that means that whoever he's mating with will become a jackal too. Do you want that?"
"I wouldn't care if it meant I'd turn into a giant green blob with tentacles!" she spluttered. "I will have nothing keeping me and my love apart!"
"Okay!" said Anubis. "No need to be harsh."
Zoe calmed down. "Sorry."
There's that chapter done!
By the way, Max is in fact Anubis's son, even if he was created by magic and not born by coming out of Anput.
