Chapter 12
While I was picking my jaw off the ground Gabriella, of course, was the first one to speak out.
"What the hell is wrong with your head!" she yelled as the man seemed to sigh, though I don't know how he made any noise since his mouth was no tiny and right on top of his head, in between two pincers. I couldn't help but wonder how he ate when other people were around.
"It's my normal form ok, I don't get the choice to have a human form because I am the original god, if I died none of the gods could reincarnate themselves," he said.
"Why are you showing and telling us this?" Lucifer asked.
"I tried explaining it to Yami earlier. The Egyptian gods are still alive as immortals. We grow weary of living after a couple centuries though, and we allow ourselves to die and become reincarnated with the help of Khepri since he's the god of rebirth," she explained, stepping closer to me. Everyone else seemed to be accepting this a whole lot easier then I was.
"That doesn't quite answer my question though," Lucifer pointed out, Khepri going over to him.
"It should be obvious I think you all are reincarnations. I sense strong spirits in you," he said, crossing his arms.
"That can't be possible, we don't have powers", Gabriella said, but by the wistful look on her face you knew she would love to be a goddess, and was probably hoping she would be proven wrong for once.
"Your powers won't come to the surface until you are coroneted, and the god or goddesses soul brought forward to the surface," Kalina said.
"Then how do you know we're gods?" I asked.
"We will show you. Hathor give them a tour while I get things set up in the Sanctuary," Khepri said.
"Of course," she answered and he disappeared with an odd scuttling noise. Checking my feet for any beetles, I hated bugs.
**WARNING** The next 2 chapters are boring they are about the Luxor temple and just sort of give you background. I wouldn't suggest skipping the next 2 chapters but just warning you, at least their short.
