The Two Worlds

Chapter 14

Inpu's POV:
"Horus is a god in the form of a falcon whose right eye was the sun or morning star, representing power and quintessence, and whose left eye was the moon or evening star, representing healing." I let that sink in for a moment.

"He is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably god of kingship and the sky. He was worshiped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt."

I stopped reading it, and looked at them all. Khonsu and Cal looked at me with a confused look. Horus and Shino looked at me. With a 'their seriously this dumb' look. I groaned in annoyance at their dumbness. God... Do I simplify this for them?! I thought, a little annoyed.

"Basically, he's the god of kingship and the sky. The sun is his most notable one." I said, simplifying it. They all said a light 'oh...' Then I looked at Shino and Horus.

"That makes a lot more sense, now that I think about it..." mumbled Cal. Horus nodded in agreement. They continued to talk. I crossed my arms a little mad. I was glaring at Cal. He wasn't looking at me.

He's trying to distract them To not say who it is. We made a deal, Cal... Now time to take up your part of the deal. I thought. I was super annoyed. I waited a little bit. Just to see if he does it. After like 3 minutes, he says nothing. So I decided to get things back on track.

"I did my part of the deal, Cal. So where's yours?" I said. Cal looks at me with wide eyes. Shino crosses his arms, also a little annoyed.

"You said that if Inpu said who my god was. Then you would say who my father is. So, Mother. Who the fuck is my father?!" said Shino, angrily.

"Why does it matter? He doesn't even know you're his kid! Things happened that weren't supposed to happen." Shino looked at him with a confused look.

"No, you're not a mistake." Shino nodded, and motioned him to continue on.

"I know you're all gonna freak out and tell him. He can't know!" said Cal.

"That doesn't matter, Cal. I know. I've known since the day he was conjured. The day that it happened. I knew, and never told him! Khonsu and Horus will never see him! Shino won't say anything! He knows what's best for him" I argued back.

"Like hell Khonsu and Horus won't see him! Khonsu knows his aura! He has talked to him before. And he will need to talk to him. Plus Horus will meet him in the future!" yelled Cal, angrily.

"Cal! Stop talking! You mustn't say more than that"

"Guess what, Khonsu! I saw the future! I know he will find out if I tell you! He will freak out! And Artemis won't be safe. I'm trying to keep the future safe!" said Cal.

"That's assuming that you're not lying. For all we could know, you're lying! And you're using your time magic as an excuse. An excuse to not say. I can't trust you, Cal. I never will." I said, angrily. I then looked at all of them. I looked at my book, and flipped through the pages.

I closed my eyes. Looking for a specific person. I was glowing slightly. My eyes glowed pure white. Kinda like Cal in his godly form. And when Magnus was the book of the dead. Suddenly, the pages stopped flipping. They stopped on the page that I needed. My eyes stopped glowing. I looked at Cal again.

"This is your last chance, Cal. Tell them or I will..." I said, menicalingly. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Inpu! I told you! I can't, so then you can't! It'll mess up the timeline!" yelled Cal. I looked at Khonsu. He closed his eyes for a moment. Then opened them again. He looked back at me. Then shook his head.

"He's bluffing," said Khonsu. I nodded my thanks to him. Cal glared at him. He raised his hands in defense.

"You can't blame me for being curious, Cal." he said, wisely.

"Cal. It was bound to be told, eventually..." I said.

"Not like this, Inpu! Shino will tell him!" yelled Cal. I held a sword up to Shino's neck.

"Not if he knew what was best for him..." I said, menicallingly. He nodded at me.

"Of course! I won't say anything!" he said,a little terrified. I lowered my sword. Then I looked at Cal.

"Cal... It's either you tell them. Or I will..." I said, pacienly. Cal paced for a moment. It was pretty obvious he was debating his options. SO I decided to help him out a little bit.

"Here's an easier way to think. You can drop the bomb on them all. And get rid of this annoying nagging feeling at the back of your head. Finally admit something that you'd never admit any other time. OR. I can tell them. And you will forever have that annoying nagging feeling at the back of your head. And never be able to admit something like that."

"Inpu. I don't think you're helping in the least bit..." said Horus.

"I'm thinking of the Pro's and the Cons of doing this. It's just up to Cal to pick the right one." I said. I decided to sit down on my tail again. I crossed my arms, waiting. Waiting for what he was gonna say. For what he was gonna choose. He continued to pace for a little bit. Until he finally made up his mind. He stopped and looked at me.

"Fine... Say it..."

"Had a feeling you would say that." We both looked at the other three. They looked at us with curious looks. I chuckled lightly. I looked at Cal and nodded. Then I looked back at the other three.

"His father is Xylo."

Rikku's POV:

"Venus! Venus!" I cried, running through the doors. Inside stood Venus, Database, and Ronin.

"What happened, Rikku?" asked Venus, looking at Arti worried.

"I-I'm not sure. I just woke up this morning to them screaming in agony..." I said.

"Common, let's take him to a room. Then I'll examine him." said Venus.

I nodded and followed. They lead me down the hall a little ways, then to an empty room. It was somewhat snug. Very white and bright. Not Artemis's forte, but that's ok. Ah, geez. Getting off track again. Sorry. Please continue on.

I walked next to the bed, and layed Arti down. I looked at him worriedly. I hope he's gonna be ok... I thought. I moved over so Venus could examine him. I watched as they tried to use their quirk on him. But it didn't seem to work too well. They sighed.

"What's wrong, Venus?" I asked worriedly.

I came up behind them to see how Arti was doing. He didn't look any better than when I last saw him. Which was like 3 minutes ago. I thought Venus's quirk would help him. But it didn't seem to help at all. Maybe even made the pain worse. Venus turned around.

"You need to leave, Rikku. I can't have you in here while I do this..." said Venus, worriedly. They looked over their shoulders one last time. Then looked back at me. Pushed me out the door. Then shut the door in front of me. A hand then was set gently on my shoulder. I looked at the hand. Then at the person who did it. It was Roin.

"He'll be ok. I'm sure that Venus will fix him." he said, with a hint of worry in his voice. That told me that even he wasn't sure. That he didn't fully believe in Venus. That didn't make me feel any better. I looked back at the door. Then sighed. Why must Shino leave right when Arti need's him the most? I thought.

I then walked back to the waiting room. I didn't exactly sit. I paced the whole time, as I waited for the news on Arti. Please tell me he's gonna be ok... I thought. I was very hopeful. But I'm extremely worried. I looked at his door one last time. Then continued to pace back and forth.

After an hour:

While I was waiting, I just couldn't stop pacing. My anxiety was heightened by a long shot. I couldn't sit still long enough to calm down.
