Lewis POV
Hey, my name's Lewis Harding. I just found out that I'm blood of the Pharaohs and I was just brought to the Twenty-first Nome for training.
My first thought upon getting the Kane Mansion was probably: is this place real?
Then I saw the baboon and I thought that I was losing my mind, but a guy who looked about college age assured me that I wasn't.
"Hey, why is this place called the Kane Mansion?" I asked.
"Because it's the home of the Kane family," the guy, who's name I had already forgotten, explained. "More specifically Carter and Sadie Kane, they're siblings. They don't look it, but they are. Oh, and I wouldn't offend Sadie if I were you. She'd probably Ha-di you back to whatever city you're from."
"Okay, I'll look out," I said. "What about Carter?"
"Carter's more chill," the guy replied. "And he's the head of the Twenty-first Nome and the Pharaoh."
"But I thought there weren't any more pharaohs," I said.
"Well, it's more of a recent development," said my escort. "But he's crazy powerful so be careful."
I nodded as I tried to picture the Kane siblings in my head. The image I created had them slinging magic at me for stepping one toe out of line. I had to admit that I was kind of scared to meet them.
I decided that I wanted that the path of Horus would be best for me.
"That's the path Carter follows," said Felix. Despite the major age difference (Felix is ten and I'm seventeen), I'd grown quite a liking to the kid.
"Really?" I asked. I wondered if he meant Carter Kane or some other Carter I hadn't met.
"Yeah, he's got a really cool avatar too!" he exclaimed.
"Well, I'm glad you think so," said a voice.
I whipped around to face whoever had spoken. A nice-looking teen of about 15 smiled at me.
"You must be the newest magician," he said, holding out his hand. "I'm Carter, nice to meet you."
"Lewis," I said, glad that this wasn't the head of the Nome.
"Lewis is going to follow the path of Horus!" said Felix excitedly. "You hosted Horus, didn't you?"
Carter smiled. "I did."
"Wow," I said. "I guess the god of war isn't too picky on who his host is."
I thought it was an innocent enough comment, but the looks Carter and Felix were giving me suggested otherwise.
"Let me reintroduce myself," said Carter. "I am Carter Kane, head of the Twenty-first Nome, former Eye of Horus, and Pharaoh of Egypt."
My jaw dropped. Carter just smirked and walked away.
"What. The. Hell. Just. Happened?" I asked Felix. He just grinned.
