Chapter Seven: Abydos, a Friend and Hot Guys
"Uhh!" Dayna scrunched up her nose. All she could smell was bird crap and see dirty water. Like, EW!!! "Why the fuck does it smell so bad down here?"
Sphinx could only roll his eyes. "We are in a sewer."
"Well I knew that! But, like, where are we?" She asked impatiently as the walked out the door. Outside was wonderful. There was ocean all around, and the sun was starting to rise. The sky was plastered with red, yellow, purple, blue, orange, and even green. It was the prettiest sight she had ever seen.
Sphinx chuckled. "Enjoying the view?" Dayna snapped out of her fantasies and just glared.
"Where are we?!" She was starting to get pissed. Sphinx just groaned as he climbed up the ladder. Damn he has a nice ass. Dayna thought, the tail could go, but it's nice none the less...
"We're in Abydos. We are trying to find transport to Heliopolis so we can see Imhotep. He wants us to meet him there."
"What he fuck could the deranged, purple baboon want with us?" Dayna's asked rudly, wanting to stay in the small, Egyptian city in the middle of nowhere.
"Why do you have to be so rude all the time?" The fustrated demi-god asked, pulling Dayna up when she got to the top. "It doesn't hurt to be nice." Dayna just glared.
"Well, your world is so......WEIRD." She noticed a bird person standing there, it just gazing out to the sea and eyeing the electric eels that roamed the waters. "It's bad enough there are bird people here!"
"Those 'bird people", Sphinx sweatdropped, " are native Abydosians."
Dayna just rolled her eyes and turned the corner when she almost shit herself. Standing right by a well in the middle of the town square, was a REALLY hot guy. He was a 'Native Abydosian' but he was cuter then hell. He had black feathers on his body, but with white feathers on his face. His eyes were a dark brown, it suited him well. On the top of his head was a small, red feather sticking up. Awwww, the love-sick girl thought to herself, a sheep-ish smile on her face. He was wearing a loose, white T-shirt with brown pants, the same colour as his eyes, and they were tucked into his boots, in a cool kind of way. He also had a black beak. It wasn't so big that it was the main feature of his face, but it wasn't too small to make him have a childish looking face.
Sphinx looked over her shoulder, not sure was she was starring at. "What are you looking at?" The demi-god asked, looking all over the area. Was she fascinated by the juggler?
Dayna just grabbed his face to her eye level and pointed to 'the guy'. "That guy, is the HOTTEST thing ever!" Sphinx really didn't know what was so special about him. Sphinx just rolled his eyes and just made his way around the corner.
Girls.....
To the Hot Guy
Hmm, I wonder if that girl is around, the young Abydosian thought, just glancing at every movement made in the plaza. Lord Set will surely be pleased if I found her. He glanced up and looked toward the north part of town, where a girl, no older than the age of twelve, was starring at him with a shy smile. She had blue eyes and black hair, an occasional blonde, copper or brown streak. She was wearing a white dress with gold here and there. She looked like she was royalty, but the dress was dirty at the bottom.
Needless to say, the thirteen year old boy was somewhat attracted to her too. Gods, no one said that she would be this cute... He then mentally cursed himself for his corniness. Lord Set never sent you here to be all lovey-dovey! He sent you on a mission you must accomplish! Just when he was going to go up to talk to her, she was dragged away by someone in his late teens, and the girl started cursing, giving a sign that she was the one he was on the lookout for....
Back to The-Ever-So-Polite Girl and the Unfourgunate Demi-God.....
"Why do you have to make everything so difficult?!" Sphinx retorted, after twenty minutes of arguing. They had to go on one of those pole thingy's to get to an Abydosian Pearl, pearls that only formed on the sea-bottom around the waters of Abydos. They were very rare in most other places, but quite common there.
"Grr. It's safe now, so I'm ditching you." She walked off. "Nice knowin' ya." Sphinx just rolled his eyes and watched her walk off.
She'll be back later. I know it.
This town is BEAUTIFUL.Dayna commented in her head. She just roamed around the plaza. She woul have gone upstairs, but the damn door was locked. She groaned and turned around.
"Mew?" A small kitty mewed, looking lost.
"AWWWW!" Dayna cooed, picking up the kitten and stroking it. The cats purred and curled up in her arms, falling into a deep slumber. "Hmm, I wonder where your owner is......" Dayna mumled, searching for anyone who may be looking for something.
Damn. She thought, then she smiled. "Oh well, I guess you're mine!" And she was about to skip off with the adorable thing when a voice was heard behind her.
"That's my cat! Theif! Give it back!"
Dayna had been accused as a theif before, and was not pleased about being accused again. The girl marched up in front of her with a mad look on her face. She had brown hair that went to about mid-back, and had blue eyes. If Dayna hadn't dyed her hair, and if her hair was a bit shorter, they could have been twins. She was wearing a red dress. It looked quite comfortable, and looked like it was made of merchant material. Of course, Dayna was still pissed about the 'theif' situation.
"I WASN'T STEALING YOU'RE DAMN CAT! I'M NOT A THEIF. I FOUND THE DAMN THING ROAMING AROUND, AND I PICKED IT UP, LOOKED FOR THE OWNER, ASSUMED IT WAS A STRAY, THEN YOU COME MARCHING UP TO ME ALL LIKE 'I'M ALL THAT' AND BEING A BITCH! WELL SORRY ASS-WIPE, YOU GOT THE WRONG PERSON!" Dayna screamed, all in one breath.
"WELL, WOULDN'T YOU BE A LITTLE BIT UPSET IF YOUR CAT HAD BEEN LOST OF OVER A WEEK?! SO COULD YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GIVE ME MY DAMN KITTY?!" The girl screamed back, very pissed off that she had been yelled at. Dayna grumbled, fighting the urge to punch the girl in the face. She shoved the cat into her arms and whipped around, pissed. The girl grumbled something.
"Thanks for fnding my cat." She thanked, calming down.
"What-ever." Was Dayna's reply, and she looked around some more. The girl looked up and all around, searching for something.
"What are you looking for?" The kitty-girl questioned.
"Where the fuck do you people eat around here?! I see no Mc Donalds! No Tim Hortons! No Dairy Queens! HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE?!" Dayna then fell to her knees, letting out a nice, long scream.......
Back to Sphinx
Everyone in the monster shop looked up when they heard that long, loud scream. Sphinx signed, paying the man in a cloak 70 scarabs for the Small Frog and ran out, looking around hysterically for the girl. She was in the plaza, and the victims were a young girl and cat. The juggler stopped juggling and the juggler's fans were starring too. Sphinx ran down the stairway and covered the girls mouth, suprising her.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Dayna yelled, slapping his hand away. The girl uncovered the cats ears, assuming it was safe.
"Err, sorry." Sphinx apologized, sweat-dropping. "She's screams alot."
The girl just chuckled. "I'm Katherine. I just moved here." She looked at the girl who was glaring daggers at Sphinx. Dayna groaned and faced the other way, her arms crossed.
"Err, well, we have to go. Come on Dayna." He said quickly, grabbing her upper arm, trying to drag her.
"Wait!" The girl cried, catching up with him. "Do you know how I can get to Heliopolis? I've got to run some errands in this place, or something."
"I don't know, we're trying to get to Heliopolis as well. You can travel with us until we get there." Sphinx offered, Katherine nodding eagarly.
Great, Dayna thought. All we need is someone else to drive me absolutely bonkers.......
Twenty Minutes Later
"IT'S A SONG THAT NEVER ENDS! IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS! SOME PEOPLE, STARTED SINGING IT! NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS! THEY KEPT ON SINGING IT FOREVER AND ON JUST BECUASE IT IS A SONG THAT NEVER ENDS, IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!" The two girls sang loudly. They'd been singing for the past ten minutes, and seeing Sphinx suffer was worth all the wheezing and breathing difficulties they were having. A blanket was wrapped around the baby cat's ears and it was peacefully sleeping.
Shut the hell up!, Sphinx hissed im his head, covering his ears and trying to think happy thoughts. I am going to kill them both soon if they don't be quiet soon!
They were wailing the tune again, laughing their asses off. Sphinx was starting to growl, he was so pissed. Katherine leaned over and whispered in Dayna's ear.
"He sounds like a dog!" And both girls started to giggle histarcially. They were crossing a bridge, when they stopped halfway.
"OK, what the hell is going on?" Dayna asked, wondering why they stopped. Sphinx pulled out his zip thingy and pointed to a boat.
"I heard from a resident who lives near here that he," he pointed to a bird dude with a goddamn mohawk, "is going to be providing transport to Heliopolis for quite a while, so we are going on there." Katherine pulled out a smaller zip-line handle, then Dayna finally got the message.
"Nuh-uh, forget it. I am NOT going to be clutching to one of your backs while you zip above electrified water!" Dayna said, making an X with her arms in front of her. Sphinx frowned.
"Oh please. You won't fall. If you've survived all you've been through, this should be nothing for you." The demi-god said, trying to sound calm and convincing. After much arguing and stuff, she finally got the courage to sling to Sphinx's back, zip above electrified water with Katherine in front.
They finally got to the boat, and the boat dude was being all asshole about Sphinx having to pay 75 scarabs for the three of them. Unlucky bastard, Dayna thought to herself, chuckling, when the boat dude actually grabbed Dayna and Katherine and threw them on the boat. The girls threw a huge ass hissy fit as the boat sailed off.
In Some Freaky Dark Place
"Lord Set," the hot Abydosian guy said, knealing to the evil god, "I know of the girls where-abouts."
Set wasn't pleased. "Why did you not catch her and bring her to me?! You know we need her!" Set glared. "If you do not get her next time, she will die a more slow and painful death, and you'll be living in the cell with that blasted mummy!" The bird person nodded.
"Yes, Lord Set."
