"This is awkward, He's not helping me
What's happening" Geb lamented
Osiris and Apophis appeared before him
"Geb, follow us now," Osiris said
"You don't have respect? For your king" Geb replied
"Oh, you don't want help, Let's go Apophis" Osiris replied back
"I'm sorry, let's go" Geb succumbed

"For us to help you, you've to confess to the whole town" Osiris began to talk
"I won't say anything" Geb replied
"Then, you want no help," Osiris said
"Let me tell you something Osiris
Me coming to you for help changes nothing
If you tell the whole town about this, They can never believe you." Geb replied with so much confidence
"It's fine, you're a wicked king. I expected this" Osiris let out
"Let's go Apophis," Osiris said as he turned to Apophis.
Apophis said to Osiris
"To do what?
I'm going nowhere,
Geb, I'll like to help"
"That's why you're my friend, always helpful," Geb said happily
"He's playing mind games, don't listen," Osiris said, but Apophis has fallen for it
Apophis left with Geb
"I knew he'll betray us" Osiris mumbled before vanishing

"So, talk to me
What's happening?" Geb asked Apophis
"Your wife knows."Apophis let out
How did she know? Geb was surprised
"Osiris explained everything to her" He continued to talk
"I'll have to take her life too or warn her," Geb said
"Let's take her life," Apophis said
"Apophis, don't let me get angry with you, I'll talk to her first," Geb replied angrily
"They want you to be killed too, so why don't you kill her before she does?" Apophis continued to talk about the plan
"She can't take my life, She loves me.
Let's ignore that for now,
By the way, You know Menes?"
"Yes, that proud king" Apophis replied
"You also know he's proud
He's a fool, I told him about unifying Egypt
And I said I'll be the king
He said he can't accept it.
He can't accept it, he wants to rule Egypt" Geb let out.
"I don't like him one bit, you want him dead?" The cunning Apopis asked
"Yes I want him dead, but I want him to suffer first," Geb said when he remembered his elder sister.
"We can't do this cleanly without Osiris"
"Don't worry about Osiris, I know what to do to him," Geb assured him.

Nut was waiting for Osiris in the sky
Minutes later, he came to meet her
"My queen, I told you
Apophis has fallen for his tricks" Osiris began to talk
"Yes, I knew it'll happen
Now we've more time" Nut was happy
"Wow, I never thought about this
So what's next?" He asked
"We go to Upper Egypt and tell Menes about this issue
And Menes will surely help us" Nut replied
"That's true queen"
He said before vanishing.

"Osiris, I know you're here, just help me with this.
I won't disturb you anymore" Geb said
"If you like promise me the whole world, I won't fall for your tricks" Osiris replied
"Then I'll do it myself!" The king blurted before walking away.
