Chapter Six: Setting The Scene for Doomsday
Sadie, Carter, Bast and Khufu were minding their own business in their recreational vehical when a door of darkness opened in the air and two boys stepped out of it. One of them looked about twelve years old with dark hair and eyes. Sadie immediately thought that he looked a bit like that cursed jackal, Anubis.
The other boy was about sixteen with messy black hair and sea green eyes. The younger boy had a jet black sword at his side which Carter knew instinctively wasn't Egyptian.
"Who are you?" Sadie asked the two boys. They stared at her for a moment before the younger one spoke.
"I'm Nico di Angelo." he said "And this is Percy Jackson. We've come to help you challenge Set."
"You mean your magicians?" Carter asked suspiciously. Nico shook his head rapidly and said
"No we're demigods. Anubis said that if we found you then we had a chance to rescue our friend who got kidnapped by Set."
"Agh!" Khufu grunted. Bast nodded at him and translated what he had said.
"Khufu asked what happened to your friend and what did you mean about Anubis telling you to come here?"
"Well," began Nico "I met Anubis earlier today. In the graveyard in New Orleans."
He began to tell them the rest of the story while the cupboards began to clatter and some snacks flew out.
When he was finished, Sadie shook her head in amazement. "I believe you and I have a feeling that we can trust you."
"Thanks." Percy muttered. It was the first time he had spoken and Sadie could tell that that wasn't like him.
"We should tell you about Set's plans." Carter said and he and Sadie began to explain about Set's base in Phoenix and his plans to destroy North America.
Percy and Nico listened in silence and when they were finished Nico said, "He's even worse than I thought."
"Well," said Sadie "He is the god of evil."
"Good point." Nico admitted and he and Percy sat down.
"So," said Percy "Where are we going?"
"We're going to summon a river goddess named Nephthys. She's Anubis's mother." Bast explained.
Percy frowned slightly. "Anubis's mother is a river goddess?"
"Yes, Nephthys, pay attention." Sadie snapped. Percy shrugged and turned to Bast.
"So, how do we summon her?"
"It's best that we don't talk about it here. Better if we discuss it when we get there."
"Ok." said Nico and the group fell silent.
