Chapter 14

Sadie's POV

I was heartbroken. I couldn't even fathom what carter was feeling. And Zia had also been my friend. I felt as if someone had stolen my heart and asked me to live without it. I looked at carter. He had tears streaming down his face. But as he carried Zia through the portal I saw that his eyes were set. When we went through the portal we stepped into the hall of judgment. It wasn't our old home but was a long corridor with pillars on both sides. In the center of the room were the scales and below it was ammit. When he saw me he wagged his tail but I was too emotionally drained to create the emotion of happiness. In front of the scales sat dad, but then I realized that Orises was a tad bit in control. I realized that there would be no sympathy.

Walt walked up to him and said "Lord Osiris." And bowed. He didn't reply but gestured him to stand beside him.

Osiris waved his hand and the scales started glowing. Carter took a deep breath, set Zia's body on the floor and spoke his voice shaking with grief but still strangely calm as if he had chosen the words carefully.

"I want to propose an exchange…..Zia lives….you get my soul." I gasped. Walt started to say something but Osiris held up a hand and silenced him.

"This is not possible, servant of ma-at." He said stressing on the word servant. "Ma-at will not accept this."

Please dad, I know that you are in there, please, I love her, I don't want her to die, take me instead." Carter said.

I had to do something "take me dad….Osiris."

He looked at both of us and his blue form flickered.

"I am sorry carter. I have to do this."

"Then I won't let you." Carter said and stood in front of Zia's, body.

"I am sorry Carter." Dad said. And waved his hand. An orb of light erupted from Zia's chest and floated to dad's hand. Carter ran to Zia's side with silent tears across his face.

"I am sorry carter." Dad said again and placed the orb on the scale. But the orb disappeared on touching the scale and dad stepped back with a surprised but happy look on his face. He turned to carter.

"Ma-at favors you son. Only true love can stop death." He waved his hand and Zia's body disappeared.

"She is safe in your infirmary now. Go now, I am proud of you" he waved his hand and we were gone.

Author's note: yay! Zia is alive. Hope you like it. Please review questions and tips are welcome. I will do an epilogue, probably in Zia's POV. I am also planning to do a couple of one shots. And I am also planning to do a Percy Jackson, Kane chronicles AND harry potter collab. Tell me what you think of that in the reviews. Like the idea? Want me to go on with it? Hate it? You get to decide what I do next. Any ideas on new stories are also welcome. So any way HAPPY READING
