-Carter Kane-

Vika Menshikov had a bit of a fight with Gaia, for she quickly transformed the ground into mud under their feet. In reply, Vika gently tapped her staff to the ground to solidify it, and continued the chant before slamming the shabti to the ground and stepped on it. A horrible scream escaped Alyssa's throat as she crumpled to the ground. I rushed towards them and knelt beside Alyssa.

"You okay?" I asked as I helped her sit up.

"Have a headache now," she admitted as she braced her head with her right hand.

"You're a very brave girl, Alyssa," Vika supported as she offered her hand to help her stand.

"Thank you," Alyssa started towards her once she dusted her clothes off a bit.

I shot Vika a nasty glare as Menshikov just nodded towards her. "Now, I assume you wish to punish me for your uncle's death," she turned to me now. "Execution or banishment?"

My head pounded as I took in her acceptance of the fact. "Carter," Walt approached as quickly as he could, "there's something weird going on with Amos. Anubis just went to see for himself."

"What are you talking about?" I hesitated to ask.

"From what Anubis was telling me, he sacrificed his life force," Walt continued. "However, as you can see, his body is still here. Something about a meeting taking too long."

"Meeting?" Vika questioned. "He's supposed to be judged, not having a counsel."

Walt nervously laughed to that, "That's what he said; I don't know anything else on the matter."
