"Wow, where's the party?" A weird scientist guy approached us in the stands of the stadium.

"Right here." Sadie Kane spoke matter-of-factly. "Guys, meet Thoth, the Egyptian God of wisdom."

"Oh, so it's time for you to suck up is it?" Thoth peered at her. "Or do you want something again?"

"We have a list of questions to ask you." Walt continued. "Has Set or Horus talked with you yet?"

Thoth sighed irritably. "Yes, both are in the concession stand. And I don't truly know where the problem lies other than Gaia is obviously blocking them from their hosts and they want to cry over it."

"Set and crying? I don't see that happening-" Sean started.

"Oh, he'll never show such a weakness, but he is obviously upset." Thoth explained. "And the same goes to Horus. Anyways, Set isn't much help other than to raise concern for my star pupil with what he described of the incident. And Horus is rambling off about Carter's ignorance towards wanting to fight Gaia despite being told otherwise."

"Star pupil? I assume you mean Amos?" Sadie asked with some interest.

"Ah yes, the little risk taker." Thoth grinned. "He would have even embraced my path if it wasn't for Set stealing him. However, I suppose it's for the best, Amos happens to show the better part of Set than usual." He muttered something in an odd dialect. "But you can't honestly be here because of it too. Especially you, Sadie. And with demigods of both Greek and Roman camps."

"Set mentioned Amos discovering something the night before Gaia took them." Sadie started immediately. "Whatever it is, it apparently is a valid threat against her to suddenly act so bold as to attack another Nome."

"So Set says, but you can't honestly trust everything that leaves his big-" Thoth started.

"Amos was certain that night that she wouldn't attack with a large number of magician witnesses around, and then look what happens?" Sadie snapped.

Thoth sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, if you're expecting me to know what Amos found, I'm going to need more information on what he was looking up and what books."

"You're the God of Knowledge, shouldn't you just know?" Julian pointed out.

Thoth laughed in response. "Somehow Carter and Sadie came across the spell they used to execrate Apophis without much of my help. And I don't teach my pupils everything, I just teach them how to skim through books and spot codes in the middle of my rambling paragraphs. And as I said, Amos Kane was my star pupil. As you should already know Sadie, I don't hand out knowledge for free; you have to work to get it."

Sadie crossed her arms in an irritated fashion. "What do you want us to do?" I asked now.

"Easy now, Mr. Lightening." Thoth started. "You said you have a list of things to ask, so what else is there?"

"Yeah, how do we go about finding the Pharaoh and Chief Lector?" Frank continued.

Thoth's eyes narrowed. "If I knew, I think Horus and Set would already be gone by now. However, they are still lingering, so I don't obviously know."

"Set mentioned that you guys are the original Gods amongst the three." Percy started. "Who is Hera/Juno?"

Thoth grinned at the thought. "I can't hand that kind of information out. That is something only that deity can give if they so choose to."

"Would you have a scrying bowl by any chance?" Sadie asked now. "We need to talk to someone from the Seattle House."

"Sorry, I don't have one." Thoth admitted dryly. "However, if you are talking about Kyra Teal and her small group, they passed by here not too long ago. Something about a possible threat to Brooklyn. In addition, surprisingly, the Forty-sixth Nome survived Gaia's attack. It's in bad shape, but if you're careful I'm sure you can look for anything in there."

"It survived?" Felix wondered.

"Yes, and Alyssa is who to thank for that." Thoth continued. "She'll turn out to be a Geb legacy soon at this rate."

"Who was in the group with Kyra?" Sadie demanded.

"Alyssa, Zia, and Janet." He listed easily.

"And they didn't mention anything about Carter and Amos?" Walt asked.

"They did, but they didn't know anything other than distress and deep concern on their situation. But Kyra is a good leader; she'll keep the Per Ankh level for now." Thoth informed. "And now that we've mentioned it, I'll get to what I want you to do."

"Oh boy." Piper complained instantly.

"You need to hunt down whatever Amos was reading, and it should be still in the Nome's library. When you return, I will look into figuring out what he found. Fair deal I think." Thoth continued. "And maybe talk with Set to get more information on what he was reading."

"He said something about Greek and Egyptian relations." Annabeth recalled. "Ring any bells?"

Thoth sighed out of his own distress. "Not at the moment. So you'll have to find them before I can be of any help."

"You know, it's pathetic that a human knows more than a God of Knowledge." Hazel added.

Thoth laughed it off easily. "I know many things, Pluto's spawn. But as to what would cause your Goddess of Earth so much distress is beyond me. Especially with Amos at the center of it."

Sadie sighed. "I guess Seattle it is."

"How do you know our parents?" Annabeth's curiosity got the better of her.

"Like I said, I know many things." He shrugged off. "I better go and attend to the God visitors. Till next time then."
