Chapter 4
"They just had to bring that myth up, didn't they," Sekhmet raged. Cale was sitting in the back seat, thankful it was Dais driving and not Sekhmet.
"Chill, Sekhmet," Cale said, "Like you said, 'it's just a myth.' "
"That's enough," Dais snapped, "We came here to relax and enjoy the island, not go at each others throats."
As they drove to the Petroglyphs National Park, Cale noticed that the sun was setting, 'thank goodness I can take these sunglasses off and not look strange,' he thought. After they entered the park, they walked down a path were many rocks which had strange markings. It was so foreign to the ex-Warlords; what they were seeing were pictures representing words in a language that wasn't even written down. What they failed to realize was that they had been at the park for so long that the sun had set and the moon was rising. "We'd better be going back," Dais said, looking at the moon, "I don't want the Ronins to start looking for us."
But when they turned to head back, a beam of moonlight hit the ground not four feet away from them. Then a figure appeared in the moonbeam; it was a man, but they could not see him fully. Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet were startled, there were sure that no one else on the path, and they certainly would have heard someone walking behind them. The figure that had appeared out of nowhere just stood in front of them, not moving or speaking. Only when Sekhmet stepped forward did the figure speak. "Venom, Illusion, Corruption, it's been a long time."
With those words, Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet recognized the voice, "A...A...Anubis, is that you?" Cale asked, in a voice that sounded like he was startled and shocked.
The figure then walked into the moonbeam completely. He had long reddish-brown hair, split eyebrows of the same shade of red, blue-green eyes, and his tan skin. He wore a blue button down shirt, black jeans, black boots, and a long black trench coat. On his wrist was a silver watch. Sekhmet could not believe it, he thought it was just a myth, but Anubis looked very real. "Are you solid?" Sekhmet asked.
With that, Anubis took Sekhmet's hand and squeezed it as hard as he could, "Could something transparent do this?"
"It really is you." Sekhmet said, then he ran over to the red-haired man and embraced him. Cale and Dais also ran up to Anubis and embraced him. About five minutes later, when everyone let go, Anubis spoke, "It's good to see you three again, I want to know how you've been doing." Then he asked with a small smile, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Cale smiled back and tossed him a banana, "good throw Cale," Anubis stated, "you three have changed so much. I want to hear everything."
"We have to get back to the hotel," Dais realized, "It's getting late."
"It's a good thing the Ronins aren't rooming on the same floor with us," Cale stated, "what would they think if they saw Anubis staying with us?" With that, all four Seasons climbed into the car and drove to back to the hotel.
"They just had to bring that myth up, didn't they," Sekhmet raged. Cale was sitting in the back seat, thankful it was Dais driving and not Sekhmet.
