Emily (Hold)

Eleven

Shaking my head, I pace around back and forth while that one guy just leans against the one coffin with his arms crossed. He's better dressed than when he was a few minutes ago. Isis sent me to Egypt! Egypt! How could she send me to Egypt?! "Are you" the man demands "going to keep pacing around or what?"

When I'm somewhat calm, I face him "Look, excuse me but I'm just" shaking my head "why would someone send me to Egypt? It's preposterous! I'm supposed to be back with my friends at Anubis House trying to get this evil spirit to back the fuck off and remove these marks" showing him the Mark of Anubis which is on my hip "from me and my friends—yet here I am" waving my arms around "in Egypt!"

Wiping away my tears, the man just stares at me "Are you done freaking out?"

"You don't even care" scoffing as I shake my head "you know what" waving my hand as I storm out here "have a nice life!" Once I'm outside, I go to that dead man grabbing the scroll. Looking around shaking my head, my eyes find that one woman's statue of her face and its Isis "Why did you send me here?!" Screaming at the statue "None of this makes sense!"

"Who" that one guy comes over from the place "are you yelling at?"

"None of your business" sighing harshly "just leave me alone"

"Who are these two mortals?" He asks looking at the dead people.

"Two dead people" shrugging my shoulders "he's the one who had your eye and this thing, though it's impossible to read"

Tossing the scroll behind me, the man grabs the scroll and reads it "It's the directions to getting into Seth's pyramid"

Furrowing my brows "Seth is that one god" snapping my fingers trying to figure it out "he's...he's got a brother right? Osirian?" He just stares at me "What?" Shrugging my shoulders crossing my arms "it's been some time, I just know the major Egyptian Deities"

"Oh really?" He challenges me "who is Ra?"

"The sun god" I answer

"Isis?" He asks

"Uh" what is she the goddess of? "I know it...I just need a minute" thinking for a minute "she has the powers of life?"

He stares at me "How is it" he demands "you don't know your gods? Or how to read this?" Tossing the scroll to me.

"Because they don't teach ancient Egyptian where I'm from!" Yelling at him when I toss the scroll at him but he ducks and it lands in the fire.

"No! No! No!" He runs over to try to save the scroll but it's nothing but ash now, he looks at me enraged "That was my only chance to getting into Seth's pyramid and defeating him! How dare you!" He goes to strangle me but we get into a fight instead.

I then realize something "Wait!" Getting him onto his back and holding his wrists down "If I get you into Seth's pyramid and help you, will you help me with something?"

He scoffs "Why should I help you?"

"I have a good memory" maybe he can get me back home "I remember the scroll, if you agree to helping me I'll help you. Deal?"

"Deal" we stand up shaking hands

"Oh" snapping my fingers "what's your name?"

He sighs irritated "It's Horus" storming off one way "try to keep up!"

"You know" catching up to him as we stand side by side "your a real asshole, right?"

"And you don't know who your talking to" he walks faster

"You mean some guy named Horus?" He stops to look at me "what?"

"If I wanted to" warning me "I could have you killed right now"

"Then you would go that pyramid not knowing how to get in" he clenched his jaw "let's go" We are silent as we walk into this jungle, when we get to a Mountain Horus behind to climb "Why are you climbing?"

"I need to get something" he looks down at me "are you coming or what?"

Letting out a sigh, I put my hair into a bun before beginning my climb. Once we are halfway up, it gets much more difficult to breathe "Why" nearly slipping but that Horus catches my wrist "is getting to the pyramid so important?"

"It's because" continuing the climb, there are no places for breaks so I'm really hoping we are nearly there "Seth killed my father, he needs to pay with his life"

"Why are we climbing?" Asking again

"To get to my grandfather's" once we are at the top, there's this large circle thing that faces the sun "for he has what I need to destroy Seth"

"How do you plan on doing that?" I ask

"Cut off" he goes over to the circle to pray "Seth's power, cut off his power and killing him will be easy" I may be the Paragon but I've been extremely busy since helping Hobbs that learning about ancient Egypt was the last thing and I didn't know I would need it till now.

My eyes widen in shock seeing Horus become bigger, golden and have these large wings "Woah!" He picks me up, carrying me bridal style before flying up high. Holding onto him tightly, my eyes widen in shock as we go past stars and are in space able to breathe "What's that?" Pointing to this flying boat that has the sun chained to it.

When he lands, Horus carefully sets me down and I move around the boat doing a little twirl "Stay by my side" Horus grabs my upper arm pulling me along.

Yanking my arm from him "Sorry, jackass but if I want to stand over here I will"

His one working eye twitches looking between me and someone who is sharpening something "Just don't speak" he orders, I scoff as he walks forward looking over he brings me forward before having us kneel "Hail though great god Ra"

"Normally when a bird" the guy who is sharpening his blade muses "lands on my boat, I kill it before it can shit" we stand up, I go over to the side "I wouldn't lean too far my dear" looking over to the old man who doesn't look my way "unlike your sire here you don't have wings. Now, why have you come?"

"I've come to ask something of you" Horus asks as I walk back over to him, he looks at me then to his grandfather.

"Oh!" He stops sharpening to stand up and remove the white shall "in that case, I should stop what I'm doing and heed your bidding"

"Sorry" covering this guy's mouth when he's about to say something "dude" he looks over towards us "what bird brain over here means to ask is, when you have the time we'd like to ask something" we hear something, something like groaning or whatever that has goosebumps go up my skin.

He stands up and orders "The both of you stay there and be quiet, I have work to do" he places a crown upon his head before hitting his chest like a gorilla would a few times. This firey glow surrounds him and is much taller than before, he looks down upon us "and put the girl below deck"

I yelp when Horus picked me up before tossing me down beneath the deck, hearing growls from a creature I keep my eyes open looking around before hearing someone scream a few times before it's quiet.

After some time, I call out at my own risk since I really need to piss "Hey! Is there a bathroom around here? I need to pee!" The door opens and Horus pulls me out, he is looking at me differently when I'm out "so is there a bathroom around here or"

"No" Ra is before us "allow me" he puts his hand under my chin tilting my face up, he moves my face from side to side "hmm...it shall be a while before we see one another again my dear—you have your father's hair but your mother's beauty"

"Um...thank you"
