Myth Or History?

Chapter 9: Awakened

I accepted that we would all die by Anubis's hand. I just stayed there... On my knees watching the ritual that was about to kill my friend. The glow in my eyes began to disappear as I gave up on the fight. I thought all was lost until I saw someone that seemed to be our savior. Kate jumped up into the air around 20 feet and as she came down she wrapped her fist with her powerful aura. Her fist was surrounded by some huge purple flames, around the size of a bowling ball. She struck the scales with all her power and was able to make a dent into them. The ritual stopped for a moment and gave Tyrone some time. The scales slowly began to repair themselves. There was time! I could remove Tyrone's heart and stop the ritual. No! I will remove Tyrone's heart from the scales!

I went faster than ever, giving it my all and a half. I was easily going at Mach 100. I was moving so fast my friends were launched a few feet into the air and came falling down again with every step I took. Anubis himself couldn't keep track of my movements. To the normal eye it would've simply looked like I disappeared. I grabbed Tyrone's heart and then placed it back on his body. The Achilles Enchantment was fixing it for some odd reason... I wasn't going to bother on wondering about it. I looked at his body repairing the valves and such of the heart. I didn't bother on grabbing the Ostrich feather that represented Ma'at(truth), because it was very likely Anubis had more, or he could simply summon more.

I rushed to Tyrone's soul as I grabbed it and put it back into his body. His soul looked like a small blue flame. His soul was absorbed into his body similarly to the enchantment. Tyrone gasped for air and spit out blood as he woke up. He was alive! Tyrone laughed very happy as he felt his body. His happiness turned to horror in a split second. Anubis was behind me, I could feel him. I won't let it end here...

Third person narration:

Anubis tried to pierce Jace's chest with his fist, but his fist was blown back forcefully. A very dark, evil, red flame surrounded Jase and Tyrone. The flame was a dark, blood red with some black streams on it. It also was very dense making Jace's body very hard to see. You could only see the shadow of his shape. The flame was very tall like a school bus, and it was evil and filled of malice. Anubis stood dumbfounded, he couldn't understand how a mere mortal could have such a powerful aura. One so powerful in fact that it rejected Anubis's own aura. Jace slowly stood up and turned around. Where his eyes were supposed to be there was a powerful red light that emitted pure bloodlust. Anubis felt threatened and scared.

-You bastard!-Anubis yelled.-What did you do!? You're just a flea! A small nuisance that I plan to get rid off!

Jace pierced through Anubis's chest and pulled out his heart. He put it in front of the God's face.

-This flea just killed you, dog.-he coldly said, taunting the God.

He then crushed the God's heart in front of him.

As he did that Anubis fell to his knees gasping for air. In the few moments he had before he died he said.-Be aware God Slayer.... The main Gods are out of your league. They would've crushed me with only their- Anubis was cut off by Jace, who ripped off the God's head. Jace lifted the God's body over his head in order to bathe himself in his Silver Blood.

The amount of power he felt flow into his body was incredible. His aura, which was still manifesting itself in a gigantic flame, began growing and growing. It began to change shape the more blood that fell on him. When he had enough the flame had changed into a skull. Where the cavities for the eyeballs where, the glow of Jace's eyes could be seen, making the skull seem like it had glowing red pupils. The skull was about the size of a twenty foot tall house. From being drenched with the God's blood the growth was instant. Jace was now a 7 foot tall beast and very fit like the Gods. Jace concentrated as he could, calmed down and was able to stop his aura from manifesting itself. However, his eyes still glowed red, a red so strong that if he were in complete darkness his eyes would be observable. The dark brown in his iris was changed for the glowing red, and the white sclera (the sclera is the white part of the eye.) was changed to a black one. He then tossed the body to Kate so she could power up as well. Kate was going to reject the idea, but something deep inside her told her that if it came from Jace, she should take it. She then ripped off one of the God's arms and drenched herself with the blood that came out.

Jace turned to his friends, his face filled with happiness after winning the battle. Everything about him was normal. Everything except his eyes, his aura and presence, and the fact that he was bathed in silver blood. The silver blood also began evaporating quickly as it came in contact with Jace.

Kate came back around, also drenched in the metallic substance and smiled. She felt the power inside her and how it rejuvenated her.

First person narration, Jace's POV:

-So what was that?- Brice asked.

-Oh that?-I answered.- Um... Well, I did as Kate said. I realized that from the God's perspective, I'm the bad guy. So I threw aside my feelings, morals and humanity towards the Gods. The Gods are my enemies, they're the good guys. I accepted that and became the bad guy, as I did that my power was unleashed.-I said looking into my hand.-Knowing who and what you are gives you power. Accepting what you are breaks the limits on that power. I guess my aura changed due to me accepting that I represent evil.

They all nodded slowly as if saying "eh, makes sense".

-What're you gonna do about that?-Brice pointed behind me and there was a small silver flame with a pronounced dog head sticking out. I could feel Anubis's presence coming from it... that's his soul isn't it?

-You killed him, so you take it.-Kate pointed out.

-No. I can't do that-I said.-If it weren't for you, we'd all be dead. Plus, he's a jerk. I don't want that in me.

-Wait. What do you mean, in you?-Isabelle asked.

Kate accepted in taking the soul. She grabbed it with both hands and guided it into her chest. Her body relaxed and she sighed relieved, it seemed like she felt power flow into her. Soon enough Anubis's aura disappeared as it fused with hers.

Anubis briefly appeared behind her. He manifested his aura outside Kate's body, now I could feel it and even see it. He was black, but a bit transparent and very lifelike. The only other difference is that he was ten feet tall due to it being his aura and not himself manifesting.

-That's what I meant.-I then said.
