I felt the boat lurch beneath my transparent body. My Ba was travelling along the river that lead to the judgement hall. I knew what awaited me there. I knew that like all gods and goddesses before me my heart would be deemed pure. What I didn't know was why I was doing this. I was only 16 and most definitely should not be dead.

I stared blankly at the rolling waves as they crashed softly against the shoreline dotted with translucent figures just like mine. I felt fear at being surrounded by so many. I was not alone as I usually was. Nor did I have my mawats and dajat there to comfort me. I didn't even have…

Wait. I wasn't missing any one else was I? Who else could be as important? Then it hit me. Grandpapa and Grandmamma, how could I possibly forget them? Still I had that empty feeling in my stomach. I was missing some one, but who could I have forgotten?

I was suddenly jerked out of my thoughts. The boat had suddenly lurched to a stop. In front of me was a monster. Hideous and foul smelling he leant toward me. He took in my frail body, lifeless limbs and big eyes, wide in fright.

"You're not like the others," he stated, almost blandly. "You still have colour. You must have a very strong trait to be passed on. Or are you to be born again?"

"Of course I am, you oaf! I am a goddess!" I hissed out the S's, sounding like the scared cat I was.

He was shocked at my sudden outburst. He bent closer and studied me carefully. I held my breath not wanting the odour emanating from him to stay with me for the rest of the journey. He snorted in my face then pulled back. "Oh, I remember now. Thoth killed you so that Anubis wouldn't be distracted," he tutted.

I tilted my head to the side. I knew that name. I knew that person. As I tried to recall a memory of the person Anubis the monster moved aside. The boat continued but I was still trying to remember. We soon passed through gates of gilded iron.

I was still thinking when I was told that we had stopped. I smiled and walked off the boat. I kept my head down and walked into a room that had no walls. Wait. There were walls. I knew this place. I'd been here. Suddenly I remembered chocolate brown eyes, and sweet smelling lilies being held to me. I remembered a face from my childhood. I remembered a soft touch on my nose and gentle rocking with swirling golden lilies behind the head of Anubis.

I kept my head down and walked slowly forwards. Suddenly I was being held tightly and led toward the centre of the room where the scales stood, gleaming golden in the pail light, and behind them stood Thoth. I hissed at him and sank to the floor to place my heart on the scale.

As I sat there Thoth and Anubis fought. My heart had not passed the test. It was impossible. Anubis shouted that the feather was a fake, while Thoth said that it could not be. I was shocked. I couldn't comprehend why my heart was not pure. I was a goddess. I had been kept away for the majority of my life. I couldn't possibly have done anything horrible. "Maat," I whispered softly. "I have always had Maat. Always had order…"

Both the gods looked at me. "Why have I not been accepted, Thoth? Why do you try to stop me from passing through?" I asked softly.

He had no answer, instead he just shook his head and stared at me. "Let him eat it then," I sighed. Thoth looked proud as he picked up my heart and laid it in front of Ammutt but he didn't eat it. He looked at me then nudged my heart back towards Anubis.

I'm sorry it's so short I promise the next chapter will be longer. I just need time for the next chapter there is just too much to do and I've been working on another story. Hope you still like this one though XD
