Heus everyone! It is me, magicalunicorn000, back for another chapter of How I Met Your Father! Boo-Yah! So, I changed my mind about the whole "magic doesn't exist" thing. I think I will include some in the story. So... without further ado, Zia! Disclaimer si placet.

Zia: magicalunicorn000 does not own the Kane Chronicles.

Me: Gratias!

Alright, I know I haven't discussed this before, but I am a magician. And no, I don't mean the kind that dresses up in a stupid black suit and pulls a rabbit out of a hat. Although I can do that. No, I mean to say that I am an egyptian magician. You know, the kind that dresses up in white cotton robes, lines their eyes with kohl, carries a staff and a wand (that strangely looks like a boomerang) casts ancient spells, reads hieroglyphics, and kicks major bad guy butt.

Now, don't get me wrong, being a magician is awesome, except when it comes to dating. Especially when it comes to dating mortals. Why, you may ask? Well, because when you tell a mortal that you're a magician, they usually get a face like 'why aren't you in a mental asylum somewhere?'

But Zia and I have already been on two dates, and we definitely have chemistry, so tonight I decided I was going to tell Zia I was a magician. Even if it meant she would break up with me. Which hopefully, would not happen, because she's really amazing, and I really really really don't want to lose her.

Tonight we were going to the county fair. It was going to be really fun. We would go on rides, eat popcorn and cotton candy, and play games. Well, it would be fun as long as Zia took the news well.

"Whatever happens, will happen, when it happens." I told myself. Then I grabbed my jacket and went to go pick up Zia.

When we got to the fair, I immediately bought a cotton candy for Zia and I to split. She was dressed in a strapless, flowy yellow shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, and yellow flats. She managed to make even such a simple outfit look elegant and beautiful. She wore her hair down today. It honestly looks like the hair of those girls that do the shampoo commercials. Straight, and jet black, it went down to about two inches past her shoulder. She also wore hieroglyph earring earrings, and an egyptian amulet around her neck. Both were the symbol of Nephthys.

"I like you amulet." I said.

"Huh? Oh this? I wear it almost all the time. Except when it's not dressy enough." she replied.

"Symbol of Nephthys."

"Yeah, I don't know why I chose her, I just always saw her as one of the most human-like of the gods."

"Probably because she has the least power." I said.

"Well," Zia started, I could feel a debate coming on. "She may not have the strongest power, but she has the greatest influence upon the other gods. She is a silent leader. She talks rarely, yes, but whenever she talks, they listen."

"I don't know, I feel Horus has the most influence."

"Seriously?"

"Yes! I mean, he is a real leader. He is after all, the God of War, so he leads everyone in battle. And everyone always goes to him in times of peril and disaster."

"What about Ra?" Zia said as a matter-of-factly.

"What about him?"

"I mean, he is the king of the gods and Egypt for over a millenia."

"Yeah, but he doesn't really do anything."

"You are kidding right?" She said.

"No."

"He CREATED all of Egypt for gods sake Carter! Do you call that nothing?" She said.

"I guess not. But hey, what about ma'at? Even the almighty Ra has to obey her." I shot back.

"True, true, but..."

She was interrupted by a loud crash and a bunch of screams. We ran over to where we heard the crash come from, and there before us, stood three demons. One with the body of an orange frog and the head of a bear, one with a pan for a head and a chimpanzee's body, and one, perhaps the most terrifying of them all, with a chainsaw head, the body of a lion, and the wings of a dragonfly.

I pulled my khopesh and wand out of the duat, when suddenly frog-bear guy burst into flames. I looked beside me and, to my surprise, Zia stood there with a giant red-hot fireball ignited in her hand. She threw it at pan-chimp guy, and he was incinerated. She threw a third at chainsaw-dragonfly-lion dude, but he dodged it and charged at us. Before he could decapitate us, I drew my khopesh and sliced him in half. Both halves turned to ash before my very eyes.

I stood there for a second and breathed heavily. When my adrenaline rush had passed, I put my khopesh and wand back in the duat and turned around to face Zia, who looked like I had just popped out of a birthday cake with a machete.

"So, is there something you want to tell me there, Yalie?"

She stood there for a second, staring at me, and then said calmly, "Let's go for a walk, shall we?" She grabbed my hand and pulled me away from all the distressed mortals. When we were out of their earshot she said, "Alright, I think we both have something to tell each other. so we'll both say it on the count of three. OK?"

"OK." I replied.

"One..." she began.

"Two..." I said.

"Three."

"I'm a magician." We both said at the sametime.

"Well, that explains a lot." I said.

"Like what?" Zia asked, confused.

"Like your obsession with ancient egypt, it's just not normal." I said with a smirk.

She smiled and replied, "Like yours isn't abnormal?" I laughed and pulled her close to me, then we walked toward the exit of the fair.

"Well, this actually works out very well." I said.

"I know, that one was weighing on me. I was trying to find the exact right time to tell you, and exactly how to do it."

"I was just hoping you wouldn't think I was crazy."

She laughed, "Yeah, me too."

"You know, I'm glad you are a magician. It makes me like you even more."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Zia stopped and took a step so that she was standing in front of me. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist and smiled.

"Do you like me enough to do this?" She said, then stood on her tiptoes and kissed me, full on the lips. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was still an amazing kiss. I could almost hear the fireworks go off.

After she returned to her normal height, I said, "I think so, yes."

She laughed, grabbed my hand, and I took her home. It was the perfect date.

Sooooooooo... How was it? I thought it wasn't my best work, but maybe you think otherwise? So please tell me in a review! Oh! BTW whenever you see a space and a dot like this . in chapters one or two, it is supposed to say the name of the website Zia and Carter met on. FF won't allow me to write out the name of the website so it appears like that. Here is a riddle to help you figure out the name:

My mAd grandmother Told me to CatcH . a COld and get the Measles.

If you didn't figure it out, (hint: look at all the capitalized letters, they make the name of the website. (Another hint: The sentence is not supposed to make sense.) Anyways... pleases REVIEW REVIEW REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW WWW! You are only a click away! |
