Hello. This is my first Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy fanfiction. I hope you like it.

Prologue

The bright sun loomed over the desert. The wind howled through the land. Bastet, the cat goddess, was walking through the desert until she heard a cry. It sounded like a baby. She quickly ran toward it, and it leads her to a small oasis. A basket laid very close to the water. As she approached the basket, the crying got louder and louder.

In the basket, she was surprised. Twin babies were inside, one boy and one girl. She reached for the girl, but a sudden gust of wind and dust stopped her. When the dust cleared and wind stopped, another figure stood in front of her. It was Sekhmet, the other, yet more destructive goddess of war. (Bastet is the other war goddess.)

"What do you want, Sekhmet?" Bastet asked as she took the girl in to her arms. Sekhmet looked at the boy. "I'm only interested in the boy." She said, "You keep the girl for your own use, but I'll turn her human brother into a powerful demigod." She grabbed the basket and walked away from Bastet.

"Wait!" Bastet called to her.

"What?" She answered back without turning around.

"Shouldn't we return these children to their parents?"

"It wouldn't matter. They are no where to be found."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I killed them."

"What! Why would you do that!"

"I caught their parents stealing from my temple. And you know what the penalty is for that. They should be lucky that I let their children live."

"Then how did the children get here?"

"Their parents fled here before I got them. Now, if you don't mind, I am going back to my temple. I just hope your new daughter doesn't turn into that good-for-nothing son of yours." Then she disappeared into a cloud of dust.

Bastet looked at the child in her arms. She was already sound asleep. "I'm so sorry, little one." She whispered to the child. "Your name is now Fera. Like what Sekhmet is doing to your brother, I will turn you into a demigoddess. So you can protect yourself in the future."

She took out small bottle with the opening shaped like a cat's head. She poured a glowing white liquid into Fera's mouth. It didn't even bother her. "In time, you'll have the powers of a goddess." She said to herself. She took Fera back to her temple.

A/N: I am so sorry that this so short. I hope it's okay.
