Rise of the Magicians: Book One

Chapter Four:

Ella walked with Luke and Jason to the library. "Let me tell it all to you. We were tied up. Alex was passed out. Apophis said he would destroy the House of Life, and he sent that message out for you and I became the true Eye of Set. We fought and Apophis told Serqet to 'deal with us'... I was taken away and we battled. Serqet told me how Apophis would kill me. She said a lot of things about Set and Apophis and Anubis and near the end I heard Sharon banish Apophis. I then yelled 'kill' in Egyptian. Serqet just... Disappeared. And I run into the other room to see Sharon and Alex passed out on the floor. Then now." Ella finished.

"Why did you need to tell us this privately?" The Eye of Thoth frowned.

"Ask Set." Ella shrugged

"I can't exactly talk to him, but I can talk to Thoth." Luke rolled his eyes.

"So what's wrong with Alex?" Percy asked once they got Sharon and Alex to the infirmary.

"Chaos. Normal humans -us included- go unconscious when we suffer too much pain. From what Kilo's managed to tell us, Apophis used the pain command twice on her, so I'm surprised she managed to stay awake the first time. Not even Ra himself could've gone through that without major pain." A girl said, who's name was Aries, the Eye of Wadjet.

"What really happened?" Ethan wondered out loud, glancing at Sharon and Alex.

"Dunno. Guess we'll have to wait for them to wake up." Aries sighed.

Sharon knew that it would be a long time before she woke up. "That felt awesome." Sharon jumped and saw Anubis, who had spoken. "You used the seven Ribbons of Hathor and the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet. You won't be awake for about a week at the least." Anubis continued.

"A week!" Sharon exclaimed and Anubis nodded. Sharon walked in a circle. "Are the others alright? What about Apophis and Serqet? And the House of Life?" Sharon asked. "Fine. They won't be back for a while. Don't know." Anubis answered all at once. "Sharon. Get some rest. Don't go into the Duat please . Goodnight." Sharon closed her eyes, for a week.

"Kilo? Kilo!" Percy shouted, looking around. He literally ran into Rhai, the Eye of Anuket.

Ella ran into Percy. Stumbling, she planted her foot and regained her balance.

"What's wrong Percy?" Ella asked. "No Set, shut it!" Ella yelled, slapping her head. Nephi and Cody fell on each other, tripping over Ella. "Ouch." The Eye of Ra muttered

"How long do you think Apophis will stay in the Duat?" Ella asked, her eyes flashing.

"Depends on how strong the spell was. At the least, he'll be there for about a month or two." Percy informed her.

"Hopefully Alex and Sharon will be awake by then." Cody added.

Nephi nodded. "They will not want to miss killing Apophis- well, I take that back. Alex and Sharon are better off now than two months later." The Eye of Ra said.

"Alex and Sharon will be out for another week at the most." Percy reminded them.

"Good. Luke is going crazy for his sister." Cody spoke.
