'Is it over now?'I asked. 'No, Sadie, it's not,'Carter, my big-headed brother groaned. We were on a sand dune,in the middle of a desert.''How about now?''I asked again.''No.''Carter said. After a few seconds of waiting, I asked another question, ''Why are we here again?' Carter swiveled to me, a look of resignation written across his face. ''Zia sent us here,'' He explained. ''She said that she had a vision from Ra telling her to wait for a sign here.''In the middle of a freaking desert. ''Thanks Ra.'' I mumbled inaudibly. ''Wait,naren't Ra and his godly friends supposed to be retreated after we execrated Apophis's shadow?''

Carter turned to me. ''Yes, it's true, but Zia says something has stirred them from their retreat, and they want to find out why, or how.'' And with that,he gazed at me proudly like I had finally made an intelligent question. I punched him. ''Ow!'' he complained. ''What was that for?''

''You know exactly what that was for.'' He sighed and sat down. And yes, we did say Ra, as in the God of the Sun that is like older than my brother's sense of humor(but honestly, nothing is). Gods are alive and kicking and sadly, so are their enemies. But after we defeated Apophis last week i thought it would be smooth sailing from then on but no, the Kane family luck struck again and now i'm stuck here with Carter.

If you didn't get the picture yet, me and Carter are magicians(me divine magic, him combat magic) the most powerful magicians in the world or something cause of our bloodline , and my dad is Osiris, god of the dead(don't ask). I was still thinking of the romantic dinner I just had with Walt/Anubis(no,i am not a two timer,they are part of the same person. LONG STORY) when suddenly, the sand in front of us started to swirl like a tornado. I started to stand up when Carter pulled me back. He placed a finger on his lips and peeked over the sand dune.

''Get down!''He pushed me down so i could only see sand now,But i could hear faintly the sounds of battle,swords clashing against armor,and the yelling of a boy's voice as he complained ''Oh man, i can feel sand everywhere! Even in my-''

He never finished his sentence as i peeked above the sand dune despite Carter's protests and i saw a boy in an orange shirt holding off a giant...scarab beetle?, with a glowing bronze sword, until the beetle knocked him off his feet and was about to devour him.

'No!'I yelled,and without thinking, I yelled 'Ha-di!' Glowing hieroglyphs formed in front of me as i channeled the energy from Isis and blasted the beetle with divine magic. It exploded into a million pieces showering the boy with beetle juices, and the only thought i had was 'Eww!'

'C'mon,'Carter walked closer to the unconscious boy. 'We need to get him back to the mansion.'He pulled out a miniature figure of a pyramid from his workbag and set it down. 'Sadie,if you would please.'He gestured to the pyramid. 'Fine,'I said, and called Isis in my head.

'Hey Isis,I need a portal to the 21st in right now.'Almost immediately,a voice responded to me. Tsk,tsk Sadie,ever thought about saying a please? 'Nope.'I thought.I heard a sigh, and a swirling tornado of sand appeared under the pyramid. 'You carry him.' I could tell Carter wanted me to carry him,but i figured he needed at least one chance to look like a hero in front of Zia. Gods know he needs at least one. Carter lifted the now drooling boy onto his shoulders and we jumped into the portal.

I was in some kind of dark room.I could tell that we were really deep below the water,being the son of Poseidon and all,and i guessed that i was in a hollowed out hole on a mountainside or something.I looked down and i saw that i had a...chicken body.Great,i thought. Note to self:ask Annabeth about chicken bodies in dreams.I scanned the room and speak of the devil: Annabeth was lying on the floor unconscious.I was so happy to see her i was about to call her,but a voice made me think otherwise.

'Is everything set up?'My instincts were screaming at me to hide when i remembered i was basically in a giant hole,so unless i could somehow immaterialize,there was nowhere to hide.I pressed myself against a wall and saw a small young boy with a black toga holding a spellbook and a red person with a light bulb for a head. That was made even weirder by the fact that it could actually speak. 'Yes are ready to summon Evil day.'The voice sounded raspy and dry,like rusty metal scratching against a metal pole.

'You mean I am ready to summon Evil day.'The boy said.I noticed that he didn't pronounce 'Evil day' the same as the demon. The boy opened his spellbook and said some kind of spell:Tas. Immediately,lengths of rope began to coil around the demon,constricting it so tightly,the demon started wheezing.

'How could you do this to me?'The demon cried. 'I have served you since you were born!'The boy smiled cruelly. 'Even better. You know the more powerful the being,the more potent the spell.'

And he took out a miniature figure of the demon,laid it on the ground,and began to chant. The demon started writhing and screaming but the boy paid no attention.I just stared,mouth gaping,as the boy continued to chant,and to my horror,i saw the demon's body disintegrate before my eyes,starting with the head,and when the light bulb had fully dissolved,the boy showed no sign of remorse or any indication that he just completely destroyed a demon. And even worse,the boy flipped to another page of his spellbook and said a couple of words that i could,surprisingly understand:Arise,Evil day,and walk this earth again!

Swirling tendrils of red smoke started to enter Annabeth's body. She rocked back and forth like she was having a seizure.I wanted to help her so badly,but my mind reminded me that this was just a dream. There was nothing i could do as she shook violently and with a jolt,sat up. Her eyes turned red as she stood up and happily walked around the room.

'Ah,it feels good to walk again!'She said voice sounded so manly it was hard to think of her as Annabeth. 'A woman's body?Really,Sora.I thought we were more than this.'The boy called Sora closed his book. 'Im sorry,Set,but this was all my pet beetle could bring.'I shuddered. If the boy considered that giant beetle to be just a pet... 'I wanted to bring the boy called Percy Jackson,but this was the compromise. It suits your personality anyway.'The boy said with a smirk.

'Set' turned around,eyes blazing. 'Are you comparing me to a mere girl?'At this point,i was getting pissed. How dare they consider Annabeth a 'mere' girl?My thoughts were interrupted as Sora let out a bone-chilling laugh. Seriously,who raised him?

'In your weakened state,i can compare you to a worm,Evil day!'Set turned around. He was shocked but quickly regained his composure,and started laughing. Sora stopped smirking and glared at Set.'What's so funny?'

Set just continued laughing and after a while,he stopped and smiled maniacally. 'You don't even know my secret name. Who are you to mock me?What can you possibly do to stop me?'

'This.'Sora said as he held up an everyday modern watch. Set stopped laughing and examined the watch critically,a smile tugging at his lips. 'Interesting indeed.'She/He/They said. 'What do i get out of this?'. Sora put the watch back in his toga,somewhere.

'Let's just say this will be nothing like you've ever seen.'Sora replied with a smile too big for his face. Suddenly, Set's ears perked up like a dog(eww) 'We have uninvited guests.'He looked in my direction,and i swear he knew where i was,and no amount of magic could hide him from me. He leaped at me,ready to slash me to pieces,but not before i woke up gasping.

I looked around.I was on a bed that was simple,but the interior of the room isn't. There was a plasma screen tv on one side,a computer next to my left and...a sleeping baboon on my lap. He was holding a bowl of soup on its hands.I shifted,and the baboon instantly woke. Its eyes rested on me,and it enthusiastically held the bowl of soup to me saying 'Agh!'I took it carefully and scanned the soup for fleas.

'Don't worry,we force him to wash every week.'I jumped so much i nearly dropped my soup.

'Holy!You nearly gave me a heart attack!'I said as i held my hand to my chest.I could still hear my heart pumping as i saw the boy from the prophecy leaning against the doorway. 'Sorry about that.I'm Carter.'He crossed over to me and extended a hand,smiling like nothing ever happened ,but a voice said behind me:'AND IM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!'

'Ahh!'I yelled as i jumped forward and landed face down on the floor.I heard the sound of a girl laughing and Carter tutting at her.I turned around furious,and saw the girl from the was wearing combat boots and tattered jeans,desperately trying to keep a straight face,but she failed and burst into laughter.

'Forgive my sister,she is like that everyday.'Carter turned to me,his eyes filled with apology and closer inspection,i noticed he was wearing linen cloth and loincloth and he was wearing a toolkit. 'Where am I?Who are you guys?And why are you wearing a skirt?'i asked pointing to Carter's loincloth. Sadie burst into a fit of giggles and Carter glared at her.

'If you must know,Wearing plant-based clothes helps to channel magic. And you are here in the 21st Nome,and-'

'We're magicians and this is my brother!'Sadie interjected gleefully.I could tell Carter was restraining Sadie. But before he could say another word,I asked 'Why have i not come across you guys before?'Carter sighed and sub-consciously took my bowl.I gaped at him as he took the spoon and drank the soup. 'To be honest,i don't know.I've been here so long and yet i have no recollection of crossing paths with you of which,'He turned to me. 'How about you tell your story?'

'My name is Percy Jackson,and you just drank my soup.'I pointed to the now empty bowl. Carter glanced at it and put it down,embarrassed. 'Sorry.' 'A week ago,i fought Kronos and managed to win,so the earth is safe from him...again.'

'Impossible.'

'Excuse me?' I was confused. 'A week ago,me and Sadie battled Apophis and we saved the earth.'

'How could we not notice each other?'I wondered aloud. 'Well,no matter,'Carter said, 'Me and Sadie execrated Apophis and we won't get to see any more gods for awhile!'

I blinked. 'Is one of your gods by any chance called Set?'I asked carefully. 'Why,yes it is!'Carter exclaimed. 'How did you know?'Oh man,i thought. 'We need to talk.'I got up,but Sadie pushed me back to my bed. 'Oh no you don't,'Sadie said, 'I'm not having a cute guy die of exhaustion on my watch.'She winked at me and my mind went blank. 'Err...'Carter sighed and snapped his fingers,waking me up from my trance.

'Calm down Percy,'Carter reassured me. 'It's not like the gods are somehow being resurrected into the world!'He joked.'They are.' Both of them stopped and stared at me.I took a deep breath and said. 'Sit down-this will take a while.'
