The son of anubis: the beginning

Finding what is lost

The day after the battle, a giantess was walking along the shores holding a sleeping three-year-old. "May the gods have mercy on you, because I have no need for a useless monster as a son." The giant left the toddler there as she walked away.

A being hiding in the reeds had watched what just happened. When she left, the being walked out of the reeds and went over to the toddler. It was a crocodile. He has the body of a well-built man with green scaly skin with yellow eyes. He is wearing a light green tunic with a matching shirt. He has golden bracelets on his arms and unlike his animal counter part, he walks on two legs. On top of his head is the crown of amun. It's made of curved ram horns, wrapped by two cobras with a solar disk flanked by tall, illustrious plumes. It was reserved for the most important deities. The crocodile's name is Sobek.

Sobek bent down and took the toddler in his arms. 'Why, that wretched woman, the next time she comes to the Nile, will be her last,' Sobek said, holding the toddler in his arms, 'even we crocodiles love our offspring.' Sobek said as he lay down in the shade, with some of the other crocodiles lying down around them, protecting their leader and the toddler in his arms. Sobek held the toddler closer because the toddler looked pale, tired, and as if he hadn't eaten in a while.

A few minutes later, a lady in a pure white dress with a golden headpiece that looked like bird wings arrived. The headpiece was inlaid with rubies and emeralds, and she wore golden bracelets on her arms. This lady is the queen of the Egyptian gods, Lady Isis.

She was walking down the Nile to see one of her friends, when she found him she was shocked to see him holding a baby in his arms "Sobek, what do you have there my dear?" she asked

Sobek walked over to her, but it looked like he was almost running. 'Lady Isis, this toddler needs your help,' Sobek said, sounding worried as he handed the toddler over to her in the hope that she could do something to help.

She smiled as she took the baby and walked into the sunlight. 'I, Lady Isis, call upon my blessing and the blessing of Ra to heal this baby,' she said. Golden light came down from the sun, mixing with her own purple magic, and then went into the baby. With her and Ra's blessing, the toddler's skin started looking healthier. 'There you go, you're all better now,' she turned to Sobek. 'Where is the baby's mother or father?' she asked.

"The mother left the runt here." Sobek said, taking the baby back into his arms.

"Why would a mother do that?" Isis said, not understanding why a mother would abandon a baby. She then got a good look at the toddler. "Doesn't he look a little like Anubis?" she asked

Sobek got a good look as well and smelled the toddler; he smelled a lot like Anubis. 'Anubis, having a little Anubis running around,' Sobek said, getting a laugh just by imagining it. Sobek held the toddler in his arms like he was the most precious thing in his life.

"Have you thought of a name?" Isis asked, looking at the toddler over Sobek's shoulder, but before Sobek could reply, the kid slowly started waking up. "where's nala or daddy?" he asked, rubbing his eyes as he looked around.

'She left you here, kid,' Sobek replied bluntly. It was never in his nature to smooth something over; he would call it as it was. 'My name is Sobek, and this is Lady Isis. Do you have a name, little one?'

"my name is little Jackal," he replied and Sobek started laughing. "who will take care of me now?" little jackal asked almost to the point of crying.

"I will raise you little one. Sobek here will teach you the ways of man." Isis replied, calming the little toddler's fears.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in Egypt.

In the Valley of the kings a group of men walked into a tomb and it was pitch black. They couldn't even see the light in each other's eyes as they looked around. Almost nothing could be seen but the outline of a few jars, but soon enough a torch light lit up the room.
