Hiya everyone! I was pretty busy this hole school holiday. But here's another chapter. Hope you enjoy!
Warning : This chapter is mixed with some Egyptian stuff. Most of the myths are real in this story. Well, that's what I have been told. This hole story will sort of start to have Egyptian stuff now because I'm interested in Egypt right now. So yeah, just a warning.
Natasha P.O.V.
Ok, you're probably be wondering : where did you disappear to? Well, the answer is simple, I was dragged across the underworld.
Trust me, never do it.
Ok, it all started this morning. I was seating on a chair next to Ronin when Professor Bomba burst into the room yelling, "I found it! I finally found it!"
Now, I know what you're thinking. Professor Bomba is always this crazy, to tell you the truth, I was about to chase him out. But being a probably future daughter in law thanks to Nod, I have to set a good impression for him. Even if he acts bonkers.
"Ok, I'm really confused. What are you yammering about?" I say as he looked at he. "I finally found a cure for General Ronin!"
I jumped out of my seat. "You do?!" I say as he nodded. "Well, tell me!" I say as he explain. "Well, in myths, we always have an underworld right? Well, in some cultures, they can open portals to this place called the Duat. It's where the dead go. You probably got the hole thing. Well, if my hunch is right, Ronin is half dead now. The only way is to enter the Duat and retrieve his soul." He explain and I looked at him.
"Ok, are you serious? I don't want to go to some Underworld or whatever you called it." I say as he replied, "Well, you have to follow. I can't fight or even hold a sword. You can hold one and can fight. What's the worst that can happen?" He ask as I looked at him.
I don't think Professor Bomba understand the word Underworld pretty well. I mean, anything can happen in that place. But his right, I mean, I'm not insulting MK or anything but, her father is really a wimp.
"Fine. But only because it's for Ronin." I say as I looked at him. "Now, how on earth will we get there?"
He smiled at me and said, "Very good question. Watch this." as he began to chant in some language, Egyptian or something. And the weirdest part, I understand every word he's saying... Now I've gone crazy!
Oh mighty one, I Professor Bomba, willing to ask the gods of Egypt, open a portal to the mighty Underworld. Lord Osiris, take my offering.
Professor Bomba then take out a bottle of wine and some bread. He place them in front of the wall and waited. About 5 minutes later, the food disappear and a portal was open. A boy appeared in front of me.
He was wearing a Arcade Fire T-shirt with black jeans and a leather jacket and combat boots. He is a head taller than me, around Nod's hight. He had black messy hair that looked like he just woke up and hade lovely brown eyes. I didn't though I would meet anyone around my age in the Underworld. Or maybe older.
"That's funny, I don't remember you from any books. Who are you, kind sir?" Professor Bomba ask as he looked at the young boy. "Me? I'm Anubis, Lord Osiris's new helper. Don't worry, I'm a mortal." He say as Professor Bomba raised an eyebrow.
"Why would Lord Osiris higher a mortal kid?" Professor Bomba ask as he shrugged. "I don't know, but Lord Osiris answered your call, he like to see you now." The boy, Anubis I think, walked aside to let Professor Bomba walked through first and he looked at me. My heart did a little summer salt.
Why do I feel this weird around Anubis? It's not like I know him or anything or even like him. But there's something weird about his presents, something like he is here for a reason.
He looked at me and smiled. "You coming or not?" He ask as I nodded and entered the entrance while he is behind me.
We entered a hall which was as big as a football field. The place looked pretty creepy. A very thin layer of mist was floating across the ground. The place was colored black and the wall was full with drawings of people going throw different lever of punishment, which creeped me a lot.
Anyway, I followed Anubis as he was leading the way. He stand beside me the hole journey. "So, you're Natasha right?" He ask when Professor Bomba was walking out of earshot.
I looked at him and smiled, "Yeah. How did you know?" I ask as he smiled and say, "Lord Osiris talked a lot about you. You're always the top subject to talk about." He explain to me as I gave him a question look.
"Why would the king of the Underworld talk about me so much?" I ask as he shrugged his shoulders. "No one knows. Maybe you would find out." He looked at me with his brown eyes and I blushed slightly.
As we walked along the hall, a hooded creature was screaming and floating in mid air. He spotted me and start to charge at me. I screamed and grabbed Anubis's hand. Anubis immediately raped a arm around me and toke a small statue and yelled 'Tas!'.
I didn't know what was he doing but I pressed myself closer to his chest as he rapped his arm around me tighter. I heard a loud scream and a very strong wind was trying to pulled me off the ground.
After the strong wind subsided, I looked up from Anubis. The statue he was holding is now black like a shadow. He placed the statue down and say "Ha-di!" And the statue disappeared from sight.
After the statue is gone, he looked down at me and say, "It's ok now. It's gone."
I turned around and saw that the weird thing is gone. Anubis stilled had his hand around he and I was still hiding in his chest. We were standing there for a few minutes before we notice what we were doing. We immediately let go and blushed at each other.
"Uh, we should, um, continue the journey." He say awkwardly as I nodded and we continued the journey without talking to each other. Anubis was still blushing and I laughed slightly.
As we walked into a hall that was lighted with bunch of torches that hanged around the wall. Professor Bomba was already talking to a guy that is sitting on the throne.
The guy should be Lord Osiris. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He looked a lot like Nod, but his skin was blue skin and his brown hair is naturally dissolved like Nod's.
He looked up from Professor Bomba and smile at me. That smile...why does he look like someone I know?
As I looked at me Anubis say, "Lord Osiris," he say as he bowed. I saw Anubis and I followed him immediately . Lord Osiris smiled at me and waved us off.
"Anubis, I seem you have meet my daughter, Natasha." He say as I widen my eyes. "Um sir, I think you're making a huge mistake. My father died years ago. And also, my father isn't a god." I explain as he smiled at me.
"Oh, I'm not. Try to look closer." He say as he smiled at me. I didn't know what was he trying to ask me to do but all the sudden, the blue aura flicked and I saw a man. His hair is still the same and his brown eyes are full of amusement and he gave a smirk that I see Nod always pulled everyday.
I immediately widen my eyes and stumbled back into Anubis. He raised his eyebrows and looked down at me. I can't put myself to call him. Is it really him?... Could it really be?
"D-dad?"
Sorry I can't continue this story again. I want to make it two different chapter because I don't know how to continue this story now. See you guys in the next chapter.
