Chapter 52
She smirked and gave him an affectionate look, "Ra the light of Egypt, immortalized pharaoh," she seemed to sigh, caressing his cheek. Then her eyes changed, the loving light changed to wicked envy, "I order you back to your throne in the stars and leave Osiris to rule," she shouted, Ra looking shocked.
"I shall not go!" he shouted, and then Isis stood up.
"You have to. I name you Ra, the light of Egypt and immortalized pharaoh. Go to the heavens, leave Osiris to rule, and you can never tell anyone what I have done," she said confidently. Ra dropped his head in defeat, and being bound by his name turned into a sunbeam and retreated to the sun, his heavenly throne. Bast crept in seconds later.
"Ra?" she whispered. Isis turned to her, tears misting her eyes.
"I could not save him; he had to retreat to the heavens to rest and heal. He said Osiris should take his place as pharaoh," Isis said, her voice filled with regret, while Bast openly started to sob.
"I-I shall tell everyone," she said, wiping her tears away with shaking hands, and then slipped away. "Ra, oh my dear Ra. I was supposed to protect you and failed," Bast moaned quietly, slinking away, her legs weak and shaking. I cried a bit just watching this. I looked at Isis who was smirking. I had the name now but could I really do this? I had to for Set, I promised, and he swore they wouldn't get hurt. I wouldn't be cruel like Isis was though. No poisoning Ra and tricking him. Once Set is done with what he needed Ra away for I'll call him back down, and Gabriella will probably give me a beating, but nothing deadly. I could do this, I had to do this.
I probably could've thought more about it and changed my mind, but then the scene broke apart like glass, shattering to leave the open void. Then a hole of darkness opened up and sucked me in. I thought I'd be torn apart by the strain and power whipping around in it, tearing at my skin and cutting me open, but then I felt like someone hit me in the head with a metal bat and opened my eyes to see I was back in my room. I was here and ready for tonight. I just hoped Gabriella and Gallen would forgive me.
