Sadie's POV

I sat in the great room with Zia, Jaz, and Alyssa. Jaz was talking about something but I wasn't paying any attention. The knocking on the door caused me to get up. No one ever knocks on the door. Ever. First, no one could ever see the place unless they lived here. Second, everyone that lives here walks right in. Jaz had stopped talking. I walked up towards the door. "Sadie!" Zia says. "No."

I ignore her and open the door anyway. I was surprised when I saw Thoth. "Oh wow, Thoth, hey." I say confused. "How did you find us?"

"Well," Thoth says. "I was walking through Brooklyn and I sensed some strong magic. I figured that you guys would be at the source. Here I am."

"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. I put one of my hands in my pocket and used the other hand to lean on the handle of the door.

"I was wondering if Andrew was here," He asks. "I need to talk to him."

"We know he's Anubis," I tell him.

"Oh good," Thoth says. "He told you."

"Well, actually, he didn't," I say. "It's a long story."

"I got my powers back," Thoth says. "I have no idea how. I just came to see if Anubis got his powers back."

"Anubis did get his powers back," I say. "From Set. Maybe you should come in." I open the door more and Thoth steps through. He takes a minute to look around while I shut the door. I crossed my arms over my chest.

Anubis and Carter both come walking into the room with Zia behind them. She must've gone and told them that I opened the door and who was at the door. Anubis's melting brown eyes meet mine before turning his attention to Thoth.

"Thoth," Carter says. "What a surprise!"

"Something happened," Thoth says. "I got my powers back."

"When did you get your powers back?" Anubis asks.

"A couple of days ago," He says. "I've been looking for you guys ever since. I'm not sure how I got my powers back."

"I think I know," Anubis says. "All the disempowered gods must've got their powers back when I killed Set."

"You killed Set!" Thoth says.

"I think you should sit down," I tell him. "We should probably get you caught up."

We all sit down. Carter, Anubis, Zia, and I all explain to him what happened since we left him in the library. Tracking Anubis, Anput finding us, Anubis finally revealing himself, getting capture, meeting Set, the battle against Set and Anput.

"So, your telling me Sadie killed Anput," Thoth says. "I'm impressed."

"It was quite the fight," Sadie says. "I wasn't sure which one of us was going to win for a while there."

"If it means anything, I'm glad you won." Thoth says and places a hand over mine. "I'm also sorry for the loss of your father."

"Thank you," I say pulling my hand away. Anubis sat next to me. He placed a hand on my knee. I put my hand over his hand. Thoth looks at us before focusing on the discussion.

"So, it's over then?" Thoth asks. "Set and Anput are gone. What about Apophis?"

"That's what were working on still," Anubis says. "We don't know how to find him."

"If Set doesn't communicate with him," Thoth says. "He'll probably try to find you."

"I'm also sure that the guards that fled after Set was killed probably told him the news," I mention. "I'm sure he's trying to find us. It probably won't take him that long to find us."

"Fighting Apophis is going to take more than a death god and a bunch of magicians," Thoth comments.

"We have to work with what we have," Carter says.

"I'd like to help," Thoth says. "I want this to end as much as everyone else."

"You're welcome to join us," Carter says.

"Do you know anyone or anything that can destroy or kill Apophis?" I ask.

"I'm sure he's destroyed anything that could kill him," Thoth says. "There is someone that could be helpful."

"No one knows where he is Thoth," Anubis says. "There's no point in telling them."

"Who?" I ask.

"Ra," Thoth answers. "I know where he is. I know where him, Horus, and Isis are. That's why I lost my powers. I refused to tell Set and Apophis where they were."

"Where are they?" Carter asks. "My father's been trying to find them for years. Maybe we can convince them to help us."

"That's not a bad idea," I agreed with Carter.

"It's going to take a lot to convince them," Thoth says. "I don't know if they will listen to anything that some magicians say to convince them. No offense of course."

"So, knowing where they are is useless," I say.

"Though, you do have someone who can convince them." Thoth says. "Anubis."

Of course, Isis is his aunt, Horus is his cousin, and Ra is his grandfather. They would listen to him. If they weren't as crazy as other family members of Anubis that we've already met. "Alright," I say. "Then you can take us and Anubis to them. Anubis will convince them to come back and they can help us deal with Apophis."

"If Anubis is willing to," Carter comments. "Would you?"

"Yes," Anubis says. "Of course, anything to help. Horus and I had a bit of a falling out last time I saw him. I'm sure I can convince my Aunt."

"Though, I think Anubis and Sadie should go." Carter says. "I'll stay here in case Apophis arrives."

"We shouldn't be long," I say. "It shouldn't take us that long to convince them. Right?"

"It depends what mood Horus is in," Thoth says. "I'm sure Isis will be more than happy to see Anubis."

"When do we leave?" I ask.

"Tomorrow," Carter says. "It's getting late today."

I lean back into the couch. Anubis leaned back next to me as Carter and Zia lead Thoth to a room for him to stay in. Jaz and Alyssa had left a while ago. I look at Anubis.

"Are you ready to see them? Your family?" I ask.

"Not really," Anubis says. "I'm still mad at them for abandoning everything to go into hiding. Having them on our side could really help us defeat Apophis so, I'm going to do it."

I lace our fingers together. "I'll be by your side the whole time. So, you won't have to be mad."

Anubis smiles. "Thank you Sades," He says. "I love you."

I lean over and kiss him. I rest my head on his chest. "I love you too, Jackal boy." Anubis rests his head on mine. We kept our fingers laced together. Tomorrow, I was going to meet more of Anubis's family. I hoped they weren't as psychotic as Anput or Set.

Next chapter will consist on a meeting with Isis, Ra, and Horus.
