Greetings my loyal readers. Here it is, the next chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy it. Also just to note. I own nothing of this.
"Ra talk"
"Percy/Ra talk"
Chapter 13 There's many forms of desire
Aphrodite, even till now she is one of the most dangerous Divine beings I have ever meet. Being born from the blood of a Titans and the sea with a mind able to manipulate events on a level surpassed only by the fates. I think you could understand that she was truly dangerous...Well only when she really wants to be and Chaos help you if you have her interest. You see when I meet her many years ago she took an interest in my love life. Then she made it her goal to make it her masterpiece of all love stories. Well, I think you know where that went. So as she stood before me with my cousin, I will admit I was concerned.
"Holy crap. It's Venus! Thank Chaos I have a young body."
"Keep it in your pants, you horny bastard." I spat.
"Technically it's your pants."
"Well, Percy Jackson or Is it Ra now?" She asked me after letting Nico go."This is an interesting turn of events."
"Oh, crap." I thought as she walked towards me.
"Hey if we do it with her right now is it a devils' threeway?"
"Cerberus' nine balls what is with you right now?" I spat/ thought "We have a dangerous Goddess here and you can't stop thinking like that."
"Yeah wait till you get my age and you'll understand. Besides, we are in the presence of the Goddess of love, sex, beauty, fertility, victory, and even prostitution. You can't tell me, you don't want her."
"He's right you know." She stated surprising me. "
"How did you?"
"I can do a lot of things, Percy. Now, why don't you tell me what's been going on, so I can make you feel a lot better." Now I felt a little at ease since it was clear she was not here to get in my way. Well not in the same way as everyone else has. I noticed Nico waiting to see what I wanted him to do. "Nico dear, get back to that investigation of yours. Percy and I need to talk." I nodded to him, he shadow traveled out. "Now where were we?"
"Son today we take a step towards peace between our pantheons."
"He's not wrong." She smiled seductively.
"Give him a minute," I replied still wondering how she heard him.
"And then we can rub it in Horus' beak. Hail to the Pharoh."
"See." I groaned.
"I still don't see a problem," She smiled before using one of her manicured nails to stop Basts' attack. "Although your pet needs better training."
"Stand down Bast," I ordered.
"Noooooooooooooooo! Percy, you never break up a girl fight. Especially when you have two Goddesses fighting over you!" I just ignored him
"Why are you here Venus?" Bast asked.
"To see Percy of course," Aphrodite said tossing her back. "After all with what's been going on, I knew he had to be connected somehow."
"Ouch...Wait what's going on?" I questioned
"As of this moment, all the Egyptian Gods are free."
"Fuck!" We spent the next few minutes going over what had been transpiring and from what Aphrodite or Venus as Bast likes to call her told me the Olympians had no idea this was going on. "You can't be serious," I said.
"Sadly it's true. None of them do, then again they are all busy with their own thing these days. Especially now that Zeus can have demigods again." Aphrodite told me.
"You sure he's not the god of lust?" I asked.
"As if I'd let that maggot near anything of mine."
"So you have no idea how your monsters were in our territory?" Bast asked.
"Again no idea." My guess someone with ties to both pantheons knows Percy is on the case." Aphrodite responded
"Well, that doesn't really help," I said as I had no clue who it could've been.
"Lady Venus, can I inquire by this that you will help us?" Bast asked.
"Well, normally I'd leave you to your own devices. However with Percy here I would be glad to help however I can." Aphrodite said giving me a look that I'm sure is one way she gets whatever she wants.
"For the love of the creator do her now."
"Ra there are things more important than that right now." I rolled my eyes.
"What? What could be more important?"
"Aphrodite are you affecting Ra right now?" I questioned her
"Not really, it's just my natural Allure." She responded.
"How are you immune to her?"
"Who said I am?" I told him.
"Well, I need to take care of a few things. But I will see my favorite God soon." Aphrodite smiled before teleporting away.
"Okay, we do this then that. Ouch." I kidney punched him as Carter and Sadie ran up to us.
"Time to leave." I ordered knowing that if not for Aphrodite coming here the fight would've been bad and a bigger waste of time meant to distract us.
"Percy who was that woman? She looked like an older Zia." Carter asked.
"What are you talking about she looked like mom," Sadie argued.
"That was the Olympian Goddess of love. Her appearance changes to the one that which you love most."
"Which says a lot about a guy. Funny how her rack was bigger than Annabeth's thou." I said nothing as I imagined Ra now getting Tasered in the nuts. "Asshole."
"So should we be worried?" Sadie asked.
"She's no threat right now." I told them making them feel somewhat at ease. "Trust me she'll give you some kind of heads up when she's working on you." I got a ring on my phone and when I pulled it out I was in for a surprise. First off my phone was a special gift from Chaos should I need to call someone from space and was enchanted so monsters would never be drawn to me because of it like a normal phone. My phone was flat and designed like a scroll meaning I hand to pull one end to open it. The inside was clear and worked as an iPhone with apps. In my messages, I discovered I had two new ones. One was from Chaos and read: Dear Percy, I understand you are having trouble so allow me to help. Find Thoth, he has a way to get you and your group into Memphis. I already have a plane waiting for you at a close-by airport.
"Wow," I said finishing reading the message.
"Does the plane serve salmon?" Bast asked having read the message over my shoulder. I shrugged my shoulders before looking at the other message. I closed my nose to stop blood loss, Bast was fanning herself, Carter fainted with a massive smile on his face and a bloody nose, and Sadie was covering her eyes.
"Thank you, creator!" The second message was a selfie of Aphrodite in some of the sexiest Egyptian themed lingerie you will ever see. Following it was a message that read: Feel free to call me, hero!
"Percy-" Carter started.
"No time to ogle a Goddess who looks like Zia to you," I said putting my phone away. Carter was disappointed, Sadie was relieved, and Bast disappeared to who knows. Luckily she met up with us at the airport that while busy had managed to get us to the private jet Chaos had sent for us. The flight was a peaceful one once I was assured Zeus couldn't blast us outta the sky. Bast had gotten her fish while the rest of us got some sleep, although there was one time when cater had tried to swipe my phone but couldn't get it to open.
"You know it's just mean."
"How so?" I asked trying to sleep.
"You have a picture of the woman of his dreams, wearing some sexy Egyptian underwear, and you are hogging her to yourself."
"It's not her. Besides, I'm not leaving him alone with my phone."
"So, you were like him once. What about that time Calypso wore that Wonder Woman costume for you."
"I am trying to sleep I don't need to be thinking of things like that."
"Okay but once this is all over we celebrate like a true pharaoh."
"Whatever," I said drifting into sleep once again meant getting visions of something else this time. I was standing inside of a cavern, a giant pyramid was under construction. The air rang with the sound of pickaxes. Hordes of demons cut blood-red limestone into blocks and hauled it to the middle of the cave, where more swarms of demons used ropes and ramps to hoist the blocks into place. Amazingly this pyramid was already halfway done. I spotted a smaller shape floating in the air above the pyramid—a reed barge-like Amos's riverboat. On it stood two figures. One was a tall demon in leather armor. The other was a burly man in red combat fatigues.
"How much longer?" asked the man in red. The voice was Set's voice. Set had a big thick body like a linebacker's, with meaty hands and a brutish face. His short bristly hair and trimmed goatee were as red as his combat fatigues. He wore camouflage that colored would stand out unless you planned on hiding out in a volcano. Next to him, the demon bowed and scraped. He was at least seven feet tall and scarecrow thin, with bird talons for feet. His face was almost too hideous to describe. You know those anatomy exhibits where they show dead bodies without skin? Imagine one of those faces alive, only with solid black eyes and fangs.
"We're making excellent progress, master!" the demon promised. "We conjured a hundred more demons today. With luck, we will be done at sunset on your birthday!"
"That is unacceptable!" Set roared making the cave shake. "Face of Horror," You know for a guy like that Face of Horror makes a lot of sense for a name.
"B-but, master," Face stammered. "I thought—"
"Do not think, demon. Our enemies are more dangerous than I imagined. not only has Ra returned in a powerful new body, an Olympian has murdered my pet and even now they are speeding toward us. We must finish before they arrive. Sunrise on my birthday, Face of Horror. No later. For it will be the dawn of my new kingdom. The day I scour all life from this continent, and this pyramid shall stand as a monument to my power—the final and eternal tomb of not just Osiris, but of the Olympians!"
"Well someone sure has a big birthday wish." I thought to myself. "Never mind the fact the Olympians have more Gods, demigods, and a bigger army full of war veterans from a bigger war."
"Do I make myself clear?" Set asked calmly as if one wrong move and he'd kill face.
"Transparently my lord!" Face of Horror shifted his bird feet as if building up his courage. "But may I ask, lord...why stop there?" Set moved with great speed and grabbed face by the neck.
"You are one sentence away from destruction, Face of Horror. Choose your next words carefully."
"My lord, is the annihilation of a few gods worthy of your glorious self? If we could create even more chaos energy—to feed your pyramid for all time and make you the eternal lord of all worlds?" A hungry light danced in Set's eyes.
"'Lord of all worlds'...that has a nice ring to it. And how would you accomplish this, puny demon?"
"Oh, not I, my lord. I am an insignificant worm. But if we were to capture the others: Nephthys—" Set smashed face into the ground and stomped on his chest.
"I told you never to speak her name."
"Yes, master," Face wheezed getting up. "Sorry, master. But if we were to capture her, and the others...think on the power you could consume. With the right plan..." Set began nodding, clearly loving the idea.
"I believe it's time we put Amos Kane to use."
"What are you planning with Amos?" I asked but he couldn't hear me.
"Brilliant, master. A brilliant plan."
"Yes, I'm glad I thought of it." Set smiled. "Soon, Face of Horror, Ra, Horus, Isis, and my treacherous wife will bow at my feet with a little help from our dear Amos. We'll have a nice little family reunion."
"Can he sound any more like a Saturday morning cartoon villain?" I asked and then Set looked up—straight at me.
"And not even you can stop me." Set reached out to grab me. A flame erupted from my body forming a Pheonix that burned his hand and used its powerful wings to knock the duo away. I said nothing as the Pheonix shot into the sky and I awoke.
Okay, that's it for now. Please leave me a review. Seriously they help get me to write these faster. Later all!
