The Girl Inside A Book

20 [The God of Judgement]

[The Night Before The Trial]

"You've finally won, Isis. Seth is down now for good." Troth said smiling at Isis. But the looks of Isis seems less than just a victory, her facial expression was atrocious in a worst way.

Before giving a response, she scoffed. "Is he really that weak or was somethi-someone holding him back?"

"Hm? Are you talking about Seth? He was pretty angry but I heard he went silence when Anubis sat beside him." Troth asked curiously. Isis just shrugged and walk out of the room.

"Nephthys! Are you alright?"

I heard a sweet voice calling my name, he was brushing his hand on my head. When I opened my eyes I saw non other than Khnum himself, smiling sincerely. "Hm? What happened?" I did expected other than him but maybe I was delusional for a seconds.

"You used too much of your magic that you ended up losing conciousness infront of me. I took you to my temple afterwards." He said placing his palm against my cheeks. Do I have a cold? Why is doing that? I removed his hand and continue asking him questions.

"What about the match?"

He didn't look surprise but rather unwillingly to tell. "Well...Maat was about to tell Seth that he lose but surprisingly Seth said he surrendered."

That got me shocked.

"Before the final ruling at the temple of Maat, many gods from Egypt has finally come out of their hiding places. Although I was there to witness everything after I sent you here. Anubis stayed by yourside for three hours."

"Where is he now? What happened to him and Seth? I saw him almost got eaten by a huge monstrous that Osiris brought back to living"

"The gods locked him however he turned all the physical restraints into sand. They tried everything but everyone else couldn't keep him tied down. So Anubis is standing watch over him and strangely enough, Seth stays calm when his son is with him." As soon as he finished, I dragged myself out and run towards the door.

"Wait. Nephthys your condition is not yet in good state, you should rest first. w-where are you going?"

"Bring me to them now!"

"It's all over now. All this time i've been suffering so much. It would have been nice to gained a sense of by killing you but I foolishly could not do it. Finally the peace has come to us again." Anubis spoke. There was a borderline between the gap of his father and him, Seth was place inside of a powerful cage but he still can clearly see his presense infront of him. However, instead of that, he decided to look down and listened to Anubis words.

"You told me once to become a god just like mother. But I can't be because I don't have her endurance and you know what's amusing? You said you wanted to become the king, but, why did you murder many those people, is that the king you wanted to be?" He scoff in disbelief holding back his emotion in a calming mind. "You know, you did not really have to do all those horrible things. I once knew you as my inspiration and my hero. A father of mine who is brave, powerful, and wise." Tears started falling from his eyes as he couldn't hold them much longer. "B-but I was wrong. You were that kind of f-father who only wanted power." Seth did not flinched, remaining silent he glance at his son.

"I've thought long and hard for what I want. I considered running away, leaving everything behind and start a new life. However, I could not let go both of my precious mother and father. I have love both of you but how could you be so cruel? There was no need to go this far! So...please father, pay for your sins and I'll wait for as long as I have to, and when the day comes...you, mother and I...we can start a new together." The look on Seth face made him feel numb and guiltful. Anubis turned into a little child as he hold his father's cage begging for him to go back the way it is.
