The plan underwent after we left Anun, "come on Ptomley." I called for the boy too hurry up,"coming!" Was the reply I received, he came out of his room after demanding to change his clothes,"what took you?" I asked him, he shrugged, "come on then lets go."
We had finally arrived at the temple of the gods, I've seen many temples whilst serving magicians but few temples could compare to this temple! I looked around awed, only Egyptian temples could have lovely marbled floors and golden statues. "If you're quite finished Bartimeaus I would like to start switching the heads!" I looked at Ptomley and shrugged, I climbed up the statue of Horus and proceeded to take the head off, Ptomley did the same with Nut's.
In my time of servitude, which has been like over a millennia, it actually feels longer! I have rarely taken to any of my masters, because they are all idiotic magicians who like to take over everything, but there was something about Ptomley that made me take to him, I didn't know what it was, was it his mischievous nature? Was it just that he treated me with a bit of respect? None of the magicians I have served gave me respect. Or was it the boy's current condition of being in need of protecting? In the past I had to protect the magicians but they never actually trusted me, but then again I never trusted them. It was an odd feeling to take after this young magician so early in my summoning that I didn't know what was happening.
"Ok Ptomley pass me your head and I'll pass you mine." The sphinx called from his perch. The boy nodded and threw me the head of Nut, he's strong for a little boy, I thought to myself. I threw mine to him and he caught it without dropping it, good reflexes too! None of the magicians I ever served could catch, they were all clumsy bastards! I carefully placed the goddess's head on the statue's body and climbed off, I noticed the boy was doing the same, I grinned I had to admit I liked the boy. But could I trust him? "Ok now Ptomley you do Sekhmet whilst I do Ra's!" I ordered the boy, to my great surprise he complied my orders and started to climb the goddess, when I usually give orders to the magicians I used to serve they did not do as they were told, so I was completely amazed and shocked that he was doing as I had asked him to do.
The sphinx climbed up Ra's body and removed the head at great care, "catch." I said to Ptomley, at the same time he threw his and I threw mine. We both placed the heads on the bodies and climbed down.
"Well that was fun!" I said to him. He nodded and smiled.
"You know what, this is the most funnest day I have ever had!" He told me. I grinned at him, "well you know it is going to get even better don't you?" I asked him.
He looked at me confused, "well, you see the priests will be in here soon so I suggest we better go before we get caught!" I explained as if to a small child under the age of four.
He nodded and said, "I know where to go follow me." He walked away without glancing back, the sphinx made sure that there was no one in the room and quickly followed.
"Were are we going?" I asked him, he smiled mischievously. "Just wait and see!"
We arrived at the most beautiful garden I had ever seen, kind of reminds me of a magician back in Rome. He had a beautiful garden in his grounds and he used to make me take long walks with him in it. His name was Germanius, and he was one of the most enjoyable masters you could ask for.
"Well what do you think?" He asked me. I looked at him and then to the garden.
"Beautiful Ptomley very beautiful!"
