Goddess: on the road again...
Arianna: We're here.. add disclaimer.. no suing us... we need our lack of money to be a gain, not a loss.. we are college students after all.
Goddess: Well, Cally and Dushu will be returning soon.. what a zoo this will be. Oh, the next two chapters are Goddess orientated. Then we'll get back to Ardeth and the Medjai.
Disclaimer: We own nothing, and would appreciate reviews.
I watched Ardeth a moment longer, even though he could not see me. I laughed as he searched for me in the shadows I had disappeared through, and urged him onward. The city of the dead was sinking, and although it couldn't keep me nor kill me, it could do both to the Medjai.
I walked toward the treasure chamber. Walking through many hallways, I came to the slab of stone blocking the doorway, and felt a life on the other side, a life that flickered. A choice from me would save or damn him. It was a debatable subject with me at the moment.
I walked through the solid stone, watching in the dimming light as the frightened man whimpered. It was as bright as day for me. He could not see me, let alone even sense I was near, for all his attention was drawn to the scarabs just waiting for the light to die, so that they might get another meal.
The light went out, and he screamed as they attacked him.
I held up my hand, a sphere of light illuminating the part of the room we were in, glinting off the gold in my Egyptian garb. It illuminated on of the pillars I now sat upon. The scarabs hissed and backed off, something in my light and demeanor that told them it was my domain, at least for now. Scarabs had learned not to mess with the Gods. The man looked up at me, holding what was left of his arm.
"She was correct, my friend. How do you like this turn in your path? A rather nice dark, twist don't you think?" I said, raising the other hand, and the man rose into the air.
"I am your servant. Please, let me live." He whimpered.
"I'm not so sure, little worm. You've squirmed your way out of a death by the hands of Imhotep. You've betrayed others who thought you their friend. I should let you get what is coming to you." I said, lowering him.
"Wait!" he cried out as I turned and the scarabs began their advance.
"And why shall I do that treacherous worm? Do you not realize that you are not talking to a human, not even a human much like your previous friend Imhotep, but a Goddess?" I asked, turning and was immediately inches from his face.
"Goddess? What are you called, that I might give you the praise you rightly deserve?" He whimpered.
"Nice try human. I've lasted this long without your worship. I would not wish to change into something as slimy and dirty as you are. Worship hah! It means nothing more to me than your words do. I think it is time I let you die." I said.
"NOOOOOO!" He screamed, as I turned and was gone.
Lil' Red bandana- Thank you for the review. I thought I might write that in, because I was always curious how he would have managed to get out there. I guess it worked pretty well. As for her appearing to others, as you can see she appeared to Benni, and undoubtedly will appear to others, sometimes as the Nameless One, other times as a human, or sometimes as someone they know. It all depends on the situation. I haven't actually written the story that far, but I have gotten to the point where there is another character I introduced, and they are at Ardeth's camp, and have just fought off an attack.
But that is all I will leave you with for now... Blessed be and keep up the reviews.
