Since Percy stayed home during the school week while everyone else was gone, he had a lot of free time on his hands. Sometimes he played basketball with Khufu, to which the baboon was happy to have someone who could actually play, but most of the time, he spent training or chilling out in the Great Room.

However, that day Percy was chilling out when Sobek said in his mind, Go to Egypt, the cursed soul is close to finding his objective.

What? Percy asked

The one who dishonored in your old life. The one who carries dangerous and secret magic that could destroy us all. The one that wishes to be immortal. The god said

Who? Percy asked

Setne. Sobek said

"Oh man. Tell Horus, Isis, Ra, Anubis, Set, anyone to let the Kanes know to get out of school and meet me in Egypt." Percy said out loud.

Sobek nodded as Percy summoned his sword and wand from the Duat and ran to the portal sphinx.

When he got to the roof, Percy said "w'peh, First Nome, Egypt."


A swirling portal of sand appeared out of nowhere and Percy stepped through it.

When he exited the portal, he headed for the hall of ages.

"Amos." Percy said when he reached the pharaoh's throne.

"Set already told me, I've got a lock on Setne's location, but I must wait for Carter's orders." Amos said

"I'm not waiting." Percy said as he called on the spirit of Sobek and invited him in.

Immediately the Nile god's magic and power flowed through him as his experiences flowed through his mind. In exchange Sobek saw Percy's life, memories and experiences.

"Time to act, where is Setne and I'll keep him occupied until Carter and the others show up." Percy said.

Amos nodded and gave Percy the location.


When Percy saw the ghost, he saw he was too late.

Setne was holding the crown of Ptolemy.

"Stop." Percy said

"Oh, the reject." Setne said.

"Why did you frame me for those murders?" Percy asked

"You were too much of a threat. I didn't realize that you were a descendant of Cleopatra." Setne said

"You're gonna pay." Percy said, summoning his avatar.

"Maw." He then said, coating the avatar with water.

"You'll never beat me, all I have to do is put on the crown and then good bye Percy Jackson." Setne said with a cackle as he placed the crown on his ghostly head.
