Chapter 33: The Monster in the Cursed Palace

It took many days journey to reach the cursed palace again from where Anubis resides. Sphinx held some stones that the trapped ascended being was able to give him before reaching this place.

"Why can't we just get camels?" Icarus complained when they reached the palace.

It was already nightfall when they gotten there so Sphinx set up camp just outside the palace walls.

It was then that Icarus was replaced by Katy who slept soundly on the sand. Icarus stated that he needs to concentrate on healing the rest of the burns on Katy's body. Sphinx being half immortal was fully healed.

Katy on the other hand needed a few more days to fully recover. He looked at the sleeping form and could not help but wonder what beauty she is.

He ran his hand across her face in a gentle caress.

Katy stirred a bit before falling silent again.

He could understand why Icarus would choose her as a host. He said that his kind only go for the most beautiful of women to appeal to their god-like guise.

Well Katy was not only beautiful to him but exotic too.

Her now tanned skin shows her beauty even more now and Sphinx nearly had the desire to take her now.

But that would be false move on his part. Though it would be temporary satisfaction it would not figure to the amount wanting he craves.

He wants full satisfaction and to do that he would have to go slow. He would have to woo her into making love to him in order to be fully accepted as a man among his people.

Slowly Katy's eyes opened and stared up at him.

"What are you looking at?" she asked

Blushing Sphinx moved his head away, "Nothing," he said

Cocking her eyebrows up Katy then walked away to relieve herself. Luckily she did not look over at Sphinx as he was trying to hide a certain aroused body part of his.

When she returned Sphinx had gone for a swim in the nearby beach to help relive him of his problem. Feeling refreshed he walked back to the cap and dried his damp hair with the nearby fire. Katy's eyes glowed showing Icarus is in charge and the expressions turned to amusement.

"Enjoyed the free show?" Icarus stated in that metallic voice of his.

"Shut up!" Sphinx replied

"Don't lie to me Sphinx I know the real reason why you were blushing. My host is irresistible to you is she not?" he said teasing him.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Sphinx asked

"It is simple really all I have to do to amuse myself is tease you and you fall flat on your face with embarrassment." Was the part that Icarus liked

"Fuck you," he said

"I promised you that you can have my host, you just have to learn patience and wait till after you retrieve Anubis's crown," Icarus stated.

"What does that mean?" Sphinx demanded

But by then Icarus had already fallen back asleep with his host.

By the next morning Sphinx and Katy had woken up to the light of the new day getting dressed they both walked the few short miles to the cursed palace.

It was there that Icarus and Katy saw the recent activities of Sphinx's travels and his other encounters with various people because the entrance is littered with the blood of monsters and the footprints belonging only to Sphinx with his lion feet. Walking into the palace they found the statues of Anubis and two remaining guards at the entrance like what Sphinx has told her.

The stone statues were well placed and slowly Sphinx lowered the crystal that Anubis gave him and watched the platform fall revealing the two guards. Coughing and sputtering their first breath in many ages they looked around in wonderment at their predicament.

"What is going on?" asked one guards

"You were placed under a curse by Anubis," said Katy

"Ah understandable I noticed the pharaoh was not himself lately and wanted to express my concerns, but it is not our place," said the first guards.

"Can we see him?" asked Sphinx

"Sorry but you need a special invitation to do so," said the second guard

"You mean this?" said Sphinx as he presented the invitation to the guards.

Looking at it they moved aside allowing Sphinx and Katy to enter. When they did the room was vast with nothing but pots and sand. Sphinx wasted no time walking up the stairs towards the one lone statue sitting there.

The statue was of some sort of ape man that much Katy can tell and from the way he sat he was the pharaoh of the land of Heliopolis. Sphinx carefully placed the crystal into its holder and the ground shook as the pharaoh was released. When he looked up he saw only Sphinx and Katy standing there in confusion. Smirking he held the crown in his fist.

"Looking for this?" he said waving it at them

"That fool Anubis knew he could not take this from me because of the protections placed on it. However he sent you two to come and get it from me. Well now I must say I am quite impressed only to have you lose because I am not about to give it up," he said and with that he ran down a tunnel that was a secret passage.

Sphinx and Katy followed down the tunnel till they came to a rope that Sphinx leaped on and climbed down. Katy having no experience with this made a clumsy effort to get down. She nearly fell down the last part of the tunnel but luckily Sphinx caught her. As he held her they both felt heat rise up to their faces until a breeze filled with the stench of death filled their nostrils.

"Ewww that stinks!" screeched Katy as Sphinx placed her down.

The sound of the ground shaking made them both lose their balance and had them both fall to the ground. As they fell Katy felt her arm snap as she looked at the wound.

Don't worry about it! Concentrate on getting that crown! Icarus said and both watched as Sphinx was thrown across the room the sword of Osiris falling into the ground.

"SPHINX!" Katy cried as she dashed for the sword. The monster nearly gotten her with his tail and losing blood is not helping. Icarus was trying to work as fast as he could to stop the bleeding but it was not helping. The Goa'uld was occupied to keep Katy alive and pumped her full of adrenaline as she dodged yet another blow trying to get to the sword.

From the corner of her eye she could see Sphinx slowly rising from where he was out and Katy grabbed a rock and threw it at him just to get the sword.

The monster fell to the ground when the boulder impacted his legs.

Huh? I am not that strong? Katy said

Being a host to a Goa'uld gives one increased speed and strength so I think now is the time to use it! Icarus said and Katy burst into action.

Running at top speed she dove under the monster just as it rose up missing her and rolled on the ground. Grabbing the blade of Osiris she rose up holding it in a defensive position. The former pharaoh rushed at her again and she dove this time putting the sword away and grabbing a rock.

Go for his legs Katy! Icarus said

Katy did just that

She grabbed another rock and threw it at the monster hitting him again and watching him fall. Running up to him she leaped onto his back and stabbed him with the blade. The monster screamed as she withdrew the blade and went at him again.

Before she did however the monster recovered and threw her into the wall. The blade of Osiris came out of her hand and fell to the ground as the monster advanced on her and held her in his claws crushing the life out of her.

Another rock was thrown and the monster fell this time with Sphinx rising as he did being supported by the sword. The monster tried to attack him again only to be deflected by the shield of Osiris.

As the monster tried again to hit Sphinx with his tail he deflected another blow.

Katy slowly gotten up and held her arm which she was sure was broken. Looking down she noticed a dead spider. As she opened the spider's guts she found something she never thought she would find.

Hey Icky isn't that a…

Yes it is! It is a sacred Unk the one Imhotep used on us!

Taking the Unk into her hand Katy felt her wounds heal and immediately saw Sphinx in trouble. By the time she looked at her hand the Unk had disappeared and so Katy reached for another spider. Digging out the spider she threw it at Sphinx.

"Sphinx catch!" she yelled. Throwing the spider at him.

Catching it Sphinx tore it open to reveal another Unk and held it in his hand. Immediately it disappeared smiling he felt himself rejuvenate and his wounds heal.

"Looks like your very own spiders are used against you asshole!" he said and ran up to where the sword was dropped just as Katy threw another rock at the monster.

As the monster fell Sphinx did a frontal summersault and landed directly on the monster and stabbed the glowing blade in his heart.

Gagging as blood flowed up his throat and out of his mouth the monster glared at Sphinx.

"You can't stop lord Set from taking over this realm. Anubis tried to stop him and even Osiris but you are nothing but fools. I will laugh as you fall and shall consume you in the after life HAHAHAHA!" he said

He did not go any further as Sphinx twisted the blade and the monster vanished in a blaze of light.

Panting he slowly gotten up from where he was and Katy ran up to him.

Slowly Sphinx looked down and picked up the crown that had fallen from where the monster had vanished.

Strangely enough Katy did not feel Icarus's presence in her head. When she probed as she met up with Sphinx; she found that he had exhausted himself trying to heal her.

She sighed and felt that he deserved it.

"We did it!" she said

"Yes we did," Sphinx said exhausted.

Without thinking Katy threw her arms around him and gave him a chase kiss.

Eyes opening wide Sphinx looked at her in shock.

"What was that for?" he asked

"Just felt like it and besides you look down right sexy with all that blood on you." She said and saw the look on his face and began to laugh.

That is before he grabbed her and pulled her close to him.

She took his scent and felt the irresistible urge to hold him. She did not resist that temptation as she slowly encircled his head with her arms.

As she did so he began to kiss down her neck and Katy felt fire go up her spine. She knew that Icarus would not be able to feel it as long as he is asleep. She held his head as she took off his helm and watch the head dress fall to the ground.

He lowered his hands down to her waist as he pulled her closer and began to work off her traveling clothes.

Tail swinging wildly Katy felt his growing hard and did not stop it as she began to work off the rest of his clothes. Instinct began to take control as she was lowered to the ground and he began to play with her nipples. Gasping and moaning loudly Katy felt that power grow in her as she cried her pleasure to the cave walls.

Sphinx could not hold himself back no further and began to strip the last of his clothes and began to play between Katy's legs feeling her wetness and her arousing scent.

Katy then grabbed his head and pulled him up to meet her lips in a deep kiss, her tongue exploring further in his mouth as he too played with her mouth. Sphinx was savoring every moment as the uncontrollable urge played out in his mind.

It was time for the rite of passage of his people.

It was time to become a man.

"Are you ready," he said his voice was hoarse and cracked between ragged breaths.

"Take me," she said

Maneuvering her legs wider he positioned himself and then finally entered her.

It was molten hot fire just entered her as she screamed to the heavens above her passion.

With each thrust Katy felt her self grow closer to coming and even Sphinx as they moved as one. Turning over she rode on top of him and he her. When it came at last Katy gave a mighty cry to the heavens once again but did not stop there.

They continued on for several more hours till at last exhausted they both fell into slumber.

So deep was their sleep that they failed to notice Imhotep appear along with another being.

That being quickly transported them back to Sun Shrine temple and vanished leaving them in each others arms in bed.
