Rise of the Magicians: Book One

Chapter Two:

"Thoth, tell Anubis to get his butt over here." Luke rolled his eyes.

"What??" Kathryn asked, snapping awake.

"Anubis said you needed him?" A girl appeared and stood in front of them. "Name is Sharon, you can call me Shay, the Eye of Anubis. What is it, Luke? Another Eye?"

"Uh okay.... Name's Kathryn." Kathryn replied trying to stand up, but failed again and fell back.

Sharon rolled her eyes.

Kathryn looked at Sharon with narrowed eyes, then looked back down.

Sharon shouldered her bag and sat down and took some wax out and began to mold it.

Kathryn looked at her in surprise, doing that? At a time like this. "What is happening..." She murmured half to herself.

"Holy Horus! A monster!" Sharon jumped to her feet and put her hand out in front of her and yelled. "Ha-di!" The Egyptian word for destroy blazed in the air for a second and the monster slink away.

"What the heck is happening!!??" Kathryn wailed.

"We'll tell you later!" Luke snapped, mumbling some healing spells. Alex stirred.

"What'd I miss?" The girl asked

"Luke, Apophis is stirring. He has taken a host." Sharon said.

"Apophis!?" Luke demanded.

"Who in their right minds would host that chaos snake!" Alex exclaimed, her mismatched eyes shining with either anger or disbelief. You be the judge.

"Someone who likes chaos and wants to destroy the world." Sharon shrugged.

"That's not the point. You know who?" Luke asked, irritated.

"No. Sorry, maybe you should talk to Thoth." Sharon said.

"Hey, smarty-pants. Talk." Luke said out loud.

"Maybe birdbrain knows something, but I seriously doubt it. He doesn't even understand sarcasm." Alex smirked, then rubbed her forehead. "Horus! Shut up!!"

"Hello Anubis, can I have help finding out whether we should go to Brooklyn House?" Sharon murmured, her eyes closed.

"Hello my fellow magicians. May I introduce, Apophis?" A boy said and held out his hand.

"No! Chaos will not reign as long as Isis fights!" Another boy stood.

"Jason!" The Eye of Apophis snarled. "Tomas." Jason replied evenly.

'Kill Tomas.' Anubis said in Sharon's mind.

Destroy them all! Can we kill them? Horus asked inside of Alex's mind. No. Be quiet. Alex responded. At least kill the Eye of Apophis. Horus reasoned. Shut it birdbrain.

'Kill the Eye of Horus. He is getting on my nerves.' Apophis spoke in Tomas.

HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!? Horus yelled angrily inside of Alex's head. "Ow."

"This will make you shut your face, I hope. Ha-di!" Sharon yelled and pointed at Tomas.

Tomas grinned. "So you are the one."

He's annoying me. Horus sighed. Alex rolled her eyes.

"Khefa." She commanded, and a glowing fist hit Tomas in the backside.

Kathryn started to scoot away quietly, then fell and made a big noise.

Protect the girl! Thoth commanded Luke. "N'dah!" A glowing hieroglyph circle appeared around Kathryn. "Just stay there." Luke told her.
