CHAPTER II
"...she was too embarrassed to even look lord Ra in the eyes!"
Set burst out laughing, without a care in the world. It was the kind of sound that would always make Nephthys feel at peace. She smiled warmly at him.
"You have a good laugh, Set"
The god was momentarily dumbfounded. No one said that to him before.
They were only children, but since then, Set laughed a lot around other people.
...
It came time when Nephthys was finally a young adult, as was Set.
They were sitting on the ground, not talking. She couldn't take it any longer.
Suddenly,
"Set, I want you to know that I..."
She closed her eyes for a moment and sighed.
"I love you"
There. The truth came out of her soft lips, while her eyes stared at him, waiting for his reaction.
Set stood up and didn't even look at her. The goddess started to feel hurt and rejected.
He stopped, then turned to her, smiling.
She was hoping he'd say the three words...but it was only two:
"Evil day"
...
"Foolish wife! Whose side are you on?!"
The river goddess awoke with a start, panting. It was clear that those dreams no, memories, meant something; but she wasn't entirely sure, what. Her hand touched the other side of their bed, and a gasp came out of her mouth at the realization that her husband was not there.
Sadie's POV
I instinctively looked towards Anubis. We are talking about his dad, after all. Could he have known that this was coming? Was that why he wanted to go back? I'll find out soon enough.
Uncle Amos seemed genuinely worried about the god of evil. I suppose they've grown closer to each other in the past ten months. It's unbelievable, really.
"I can feel chaos growing slowly" Uncle said.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Set was using chaos..."
"No. He doesn't respond anymore. And I know something's wrong with him. I can sense it"
"I do too" I was surprised to hear Anubis say that. They do have a connection. A sort of father-son thing going on.
"I think he's powerful enough to handle himself" I said.
They were silent. "Right?"
The floor shook, hard. I didn't expect an earthquake! It was something else.
I shivered at the sound of a hissing snake. Apophis.
Ridiculous! We'd managed to destroy him...or push it deeper into the Duat.
But how come he's here?
All around us, the magicians who came rushing in prepared for battle.
Smoke filled the room, then it slowly faded, revealing a man with red skin.
Things just got weirder and weirder.
