This chapter was finished a lot sooner than I expected...:P. And the next one is almost ready, so as you can see I'm trying to make your life easier with those cliffies... However, this is not a Teslen chapter, but it is important for the whole story.

As usually, thank you for all your reviews!

"It's nice to see you, Isis. After all, we are relatives." said the unknown man. Helen and the others turned their lanterns on, only to see that he was a tall man, probably in his 40s. His eyes were dark and cold and he had black hair.

"I am afraid I can't say the same thing, Odji. " Stella said coldly. "I thought I killed you ten years ago."

"Sorry to disappoint you. You are as wicked as ever. You help them, two complete strangers, to get Osiris's blood, but you refuse to help your own family? I came at your place few days ago, Isis, I asked your help, but no, you had to find the Chosen Ones! I can't believe you still think that the legend is true."

"You didn't come to my place." Stella said confused. "Somebody came, yes, but he was…"

"…an old man?" Odji continued. In a split of a second, he disappeared in a flash of light and appeared back as a pitiful, old man. "I couldn't just come to your place being myself. And I'm guessing my blood wasn't pure enough for your telepathy to work on me."

"I should have known it was you." Stella said. "I am guessing you have the genes of your ancestor."

"Ancestor?" Helen asked. "Can somebody explain this to me?"

"Well, Mythology isn't very accurate, Helen. Seth had a daughter. And Odji…"

"I am Seth's heir. The one that was able to carry on the blood of the mighty Seth. The one who should have ruled Egypt."

"Family problems, Stella?" Nikola asked.

"You have no idea. Seth wasn't a vampire, but he was still an Abnormal. I believe he was what Helen would call a Morpher. Someone who is able to transform into whoever or whatever he wants. This is why Seth has always been depicted as an unknown, mysterious creature. And Odji obviously inherited his powers."

"You hid the fact that Seth had a daughter! You made him look like some kind of monster; you made mortals believe that you and Osiris were gods and you never told me who I was! You thought that I will live not knowing the truth, like all of my ancestors did. But I found out."

"Seth was nothing more than a cold-blooded murderer, Odji. And you are just like him."

"A murderer? How dare you call him like that? Osiris was his brother! He should have given him his blood, but he chose to give it to a pitiful mortal. It makes me sick just thinking at this."

"Osiris loved me! I was closer to him than Seth ever was. I stood beside him. Seth betrayed him. He was terrified of what Osiris was. I was the only one that understood him, that knew he wasn't a monster."

"He was a monster and so are you! You cheated people, pretending that you were a goddess…"

"They need something to believe in, Odji. But I didn't tell them anything. They thought I was a goddess because of my powers. And because I was almost immortal. However, I never took advantage of their faith. I ruled over them with dignity. They loved me and I loved them."

"Nonsense. Seth should have got the vampire gene. His brother didn't deserve it. But I am going to fix this. Osiris's blood is mine."

"Osiris's blood only belongs to the ones that deserve it, Odji, and you are clearly not one of them. You don't deserve it. You think that it will transform you into a vampire, but you are wrong."

"You are right. I don't want to be a vampire, Isis. I just want to be immortal. This way, I can take what is rightfully mine. The world."

"The world belongs to its people, Odji. They have evolved; they can take care of themselves now. They are almost like us. They deserve to be free. I didn't think that, but in the past few days, I met someone. And even if she isn't human, she knows what it's like to be normal. Yes, she is stubborn as hell, and she refuses to admit the obvious, but she is just as I was when I was young."

"I am sick and tired of this, Isis! Give me the blood now or I will kill you." Saying this, Odji took his gun out and pointed it at Stella. Instead of being frightened, she smirked at him.

"Killing me will only assure the fact that you won't get the blood, Odji. I am the only one who can give it to anyone. I designed the tests, making sure that no one could get it without my help."

"I know. Your little telepathy trick in Sekhmet's chamber, designed to make them think that the mighty goddess herself is talking to them, all of the tests meant to give the fragments only to those that are like you and your beloved Osiris…Pathetic! This is why I waited for them to get the four fragments. But now, my patience is gone. Give me the blood. Now."

Helen had already pulled out her gun, but she knew that she couldn't kill Odji before he would have killed Stella. So she decided to buy everybody some time.

"I'll help you, Odji." She said. "Nobody has to die."

"No, Helen." Stella said.

"Can't you see that he deserves the blood, Stella?" she asked. "I have everything under control. Don't worry."

Stella's chamber was empty, except for a table that was right in the middle of it. A circle split in four pieces was carved in the center of the table. Helen's fingers ran over the hieroglyphs that were painted on the table. A lion, a crocodile, a goose and a woman with a red crown. Sekhmet, Sobek, Geb and Amaunet. The four elements. Helen placed the four fragments according to the drawings, but nothing happened at first. However, soon after, an inscription appeared on the floor.

"I shall give the blood of my love only to those that demonstrate me they know what is the heart of everything." Nikola translated.

"The Heart of Everything?" Helen said. "This is bloody useless."
