Next To The Gods Realm

Set watched them anxiously. Especially Satiah, she was almost like . . . Masika. Even the part of Atem with the most of his spirit, had taken to calling her Masika. All that time ago, stealing her away from me. Those children should have been mine. The gods interfered to create them, and now they are just going to let the mothers die. I can feel it! They know I won't go on. I can't do it. He thought of her lovely smile the day he met the one he was supposed to be with. His father had decided well. He was more than ready, learning his trade, and then that snake in the sand!

The voices of the gods rang out, from casual to blaming.

"Pitiful, poor human. Definitely dying soon."

"Too fragile, oh too fragile. Wonder if anything can be done?"

"Nothing can be done, we can't help. Unless Set changes his mind, none of us can help."

"Poor lost and pitiful souls, a real tragedy. Unable to receive help simply because of game rules. Humanity, such a hard thing. If only someone really loved them, who could save them."

One day. One meeting. Atem stole her away, took everything, and why? Why? Because he swore the gods told him for many years of the one he would have. Masika.

Set didn't have enough power to delay what was happening. He never wanted this. He wanted all of Masika, he could see her so much in both sides of her. That's all he wanted. Why did the gods have to offer this? He knew there wouldn't be much time.

Being around them, made him feel human again. But without them, all he had was his power. His mighty powers and his empire that was taking the dreaded world down. If he lost the game, voided it right now, Atem would win. Automatically. He would have no powers, and no part of Masika.

But, he couldn't just leave them there to die. Damn Isis. He had no choice. He agreed to no gods, and he needed them. They even fluttered near, acting like he was terrible and hopeless. Like she was sure to die.

No! "Isis did this on purpose!" Set yelled in disgust. To save them, he had to let Atem win.

Use it.

Hm? What was that?

Use the millennium puzzle to save them. You'll get your game for the world, and the love of your lives. Why give up one or the other? Why let Atem completely win because of the gods' tricks?

Who are you? I demand to know!

Oh, let's just say I'm part of the 'father energy'. Don't worry, I'll take care of her. I'll take care of all of Masika. I'll save them, and take Atem down for good!

The demon. Zorc?

Brilliant guess. Use the puzzle. Just place your hands on it, and tell it what you want. Save them. Come on. What do you have to lose except their lives?

The gods game is in play. You can't destroy the world. You have to get through the game and obey.

I'm not a god, I'm a demon.

You are an evil god. That is still a god.

Oh please, you're explaining that to me? You just used the goddess approach to nab the broken first tears. It's all in the definition. For instance, I may be a god to some, but in Christianity a demon is not a god. A god is a creator that rules the universe and has moral authority. I am immoral and if I ran the universe, I would not be bothering with you.
