Takori

Well now that those two are off the mike, it's my turn. So Sadie and Carter explained this to me. I am supposed to tell the story from where the other left off and if I say something that offends either of them, they will both inflict bodily harm to me(as if bruises from Julian weren't enough). Now speaking of Julian lets get started shall we?

I was getting patched up by one of the healers, Jaz.

"How did this happen?" She asked

"He got into a fight." said Carter

Jaz shook her head and muttered something about boys being reckless. She put the last bandage on.

"Just make sure not to cause anymore injuries to those wounds."

We nodded and she left leaving Carter and I alone. I just looked at the floor. How could I have been so stupid. If Isabel had any special feelings for me then they definantly were gone now.

"It's not as bad as it seems Takori" said Carter

"Says you" I grumbled

"Look, I know Isabel cares about you. I can see it in her eyes"

"Now your just rubbing it in"

Carter scooted closer to me.

"Believe it or not, Zia and I weren't exactly the best couple" He said

"Elaborate" I mumbled

"I mean is that once her mentor made a clay statue of her and I thought it was real."

I laughed.

"Ouch"

"Then I found the real one to find out that she had no idea who I was"

"Double ouch"

"So the moral here is that it could be a whole lot worse" Carter summed up "And I completely forgot about training you two"

Aw man, I completely forgot. You see, I only came because my mom asked me to find Amos. When I found him, he didn't know I existed. So when he finds out who I am. He sends me here to Brooklyn House. Of course, I couldn't leave Isabel at the mercy of her father of course. But my point here is that I am not good at magic. My mom absolutely despises it so that didn't help much. I summed up as much courage as I could and jumped off the bed. My bruises stung but I wasn't going to be a wuss and say so

"Alright, let's go" I sighed

...

Carter and I walked into a large room with four statues. From reading books, I could tell that they were supposed to be statues a Ra the sun god. I looked around to see that Sadie, Walt, Isabel, and Zia were already there. I noticed then when they spotted us Isabel wouldn't look my way. I wasn't sure if she was mad but I wasn't ready to find out.

"Alright you two" Sadie spoke " If you want to be magicians, you have to pick a god to study magic from"

As if on cue, several glowing hieroglyphs appeared in the air with the name of the god under it. Isabel and I walked towards them. There was one that caught my eye. It said Thoth, god of wisdom and knowledge. I looked back to see Isabel eyeing my every movement. It made me extremely uncomfortable. I ignored her as best as I could and reached out to touch the glowing sign for Thoth It disappeared and the hieroglyph glowed in my palms

"Thoth does seem to fit his personalty" whispered Walt "He does seem to like books"

I walked back to the group and waited for Isabel to finish She was still hovering between the two goddesses, Isis and Nephthys. Finally she chose Nephthys and walked back. I could see why she chose Nephthys, she always has loved the water since the day she could spell the word.

"Well done" said Carter "You have taken the first step toward being a magician, now all you have to do is get your equipment ready"

We all Carter a 'What?' look.

"You guys are coming with us to capture Setne aren't you?"

"Have you gone mad!?" Sadie cried

"Why are you sending us to fight a ghost known for tricking even the craftiest masterminds?! What do we look like, Houdini!?" Isabel excaimed

Carter scratched his head.

"I don't know, for some reason, it feels like Horus is talking inside my head again"

"Hor who?" I asked

"Horus, god of combat magic. Carter hosted him inside his body" said Zia "Walt is hosting Anubis inside his body right now"

Isabel, who had been standing right next to Walt, scooted away. Sadie shot her a look for doing so. Aside from those two having there silent war (Oww! Sadie what the H?!). I was still wondering whether or not to say yes to what Carter was saying. [You must, your destiny starts with this quest].

"Who said that?" I questioned not knowing I had just said it out loud

"What is the matter?" Walt asked

Without knowing what I was doing, I had bolted out the door. I was given strange looks as I sprinted down the hall but I didn't care. When I reached my room, I shut the door and curled into fetal position. I could hear someone pounding on the door.[This is your destiny, you must accept it now.]

"Screw my destiny!" I exclaimed

The room glowed as a blinding white light enveloped me. When the light died, on the floor was a black staff marked with cyan blue marks and a sky blue crystal on the top. Next to it was gray duffel bag. [Now you are prepared, with these tools you will be able to conquer Setne]

"Wait, who are you?" I asked

The voice went silent. Then it finally spoke again. [I am Thoth, your patron god. You will be my host]. I couldn't believe it, I had a god inside my body [Now go your friends are worried]

"Does that include Isabel?"

I swear to the gods I could hear him laughing. [ Yes especially her] I sighed in relief. [Oh and one more thing, your friend Isabel is the host of Nephthys]

"Did you just forget to tell me this?!" I yelled, Thoth didn't respond.

I sighed and picked up the bag off of the floor. I really didn't want to face the stares of several people but I figured I would have to do it eventually. I opened the door to see only Walt and Carter there. The girls weren't there.

"What happened to everyone else?"

"Isabel is having voices in her head,is that why you took off?" Carter asked

I nodded solemnly.

"It would appear that I am hosting Thoth and Isabel is hosting Nephthys"

"We're doomed" Walt sighed

The gods have returned. Is this a warning of something bad to come or something much more complex? find out next time!
