Freak in the Bottle Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Jason’s POV

                The woman looked at me with tears in her eyes and gave me a hug so big that I was half a second away from death when she released me. “Jason!” she cried with happiness. “You’re BACK! You’re ALIVE!!!” I looked at her with a puzzled expression.

                “Who’s Jason?” I asked. Her expression faltered as she stared intently at me for a good ten seconds. Once she saw I was serious her expression saddened and she burst into tears again. I looked around me and saw a very old blue bottle with very odd writing all over it, the same woman who had called me Jason, and a man in white linen robes who looked too old to even be alive at the moment. The man was staring at me with worry and fear in his eyes. “What’s wrong?” I asked the woman who was crying, “What did I do?” She just continued crying and didn’t answer my question. I looked over at the old man for an answer and he took a deep breath as if getting ready for a speech in front of 5 million people.

                “It seems as though you have lost your memory,” The man started, “I was going to undo the amnesia, but it seems as if this was done magically, not physically. This means we have no choice but to get the caster to undo the spell and reteach you everything along the way,” This made the woman look up.

                “What!?” She screamed, “We only have until the Winter Solstice, which is in ONE WEEK, to save Casey! We don’t have time to find the person to did this to Jason OR reteach him everything!” She started sobbing even harder. The old man walked over and comforted the woman. Once she had stopped sobbing the man stood up and walked over to me.

                “Let’s start reminding you of the most important things first,” The man explained. “Your name is Jason and you are a genie. You are 5,000 years old and you are serving this woman because your current master, her daughter, has been kidnapped by Set,” I looked at him with a blank stare and he must have noticed it because he just sighed and sat down. “Okay,” He said “I know a spell that might help you remember stuff piece by piece, but it will not restore all of your memories for a whole year, unless we find the person who did this to you,” He told me to sit and he took out an ivory boomerang and about ten little statues. He grabbed my hands and started chanting in a language that I couldn’t remember but could oddly understand perfectly.

                “Oh Mighty Gods and Goddesses of Egypt, I wish for an audience with you! Hear me and my situation, for it could mean the end of a very important person’s life! I call upon the goddess Sekhmet to let me host her and work some magic! I know what this choice means and I know that I will now be exiled from the House of Life for choosing the path of the gods!  I will also ask that Isis and Ra be present for this action so that they may guide me and help protect me! Please almighty gods and goddesses, hear me!!!!! I am Nefertiti, I give up my position as Chief Lector as a result of this decision and I ask that you accept me into your care! Long live the almighty leaders of Egypt and the House of Life!”

                After he finished saying that he collapsed and stayed that way for about 2 minutes. I was just getting ready to see if he was still alive when he rose. But when he started speaking, I could tell it was not just him speaking. I could hear another voice speaking too, as if there were two people saying the same thing in unison.

                “I am Sekhmet, The Egyptian Lion Goddess and Goddess of Healing! I have accepted Nefertiti as a host and I am here to help him!”

Just as she said that the sky boomed and I saw two tunnels of sand, colored blue and gold, appear in front of everyone. Two people, a man and a woman, appeared from those tunnels. “As are we,” the man said. He looked over at the woman who had called me Jason and smiled as if they were sharing a secret. “Jackie,” he said to her, “You must be part of this ceremony, please come here and I will explain what to do,” Jackie walked over slowly. He whispered something to her and I heard her gasp.

                “What!?” she yelled, “No, I really don’t think...” she started but was cut off by the man she was speaking to when he held up his index finger. She obviously knew that the conversation was over.

Jackie’s POV

                “Jackie,” the man said to me, “You must be part of this ceremony, please come here and I will explain what to do,” I walked over slowly, unsure of why I was needed. I didn’t know any magic. I didn’t even know who this man WAS! When I got over there, he leaned close and whispered in my ear.

                “You are more important to this journey than you may realize,” he started “I know you are confused and what I’m going to say will probably confuse you even more, but I need you to know that you are part of an ancient bloodline from many different places. You are descended from a very well-known wizard named Merlin, who is the ruler of the Wizard World,” I stared at this man in awe.

                “W-who are you?” I asked, “And h-how do you know any of this?” The man smiled showing that he was obviously keeping a secret.

                “I am Ra,” he said “And you are the next host of my friend here, Isis,” he said. This time I just couldn’t take it.

                “What!?” I yelled, “No, I really don’t think…” but I was cut off when he help up his index finger making me realize somehow that the conversation was over. I didn’t see any point in arguing seeing as how he was a god and if he was upset he could do multiple things to me that I know I wouldn’t like. “Okay,” I sighed, “What do I need to do?” He smiled and led me over to where Nefertiti and Jason were sitting.

                “Okay,” he started as Isis was just joining the group, “Sekhmet,” he said looking at Nefertiti, “You may start the process of gradual memory regaining while I take care of Jackie,”

                Nefertiti nodded, “Yes, Lord Ra,” the weird double voice answered. Ra took my hands and led me to the edge of the circle that was drawn with chalk.

                “Sit and clear your mind of everything,” Ra said in a hypnotizing voice, “Now grab Isis’s hands and imagine her face. See her face in your mind, study her eyes, her hair, her lips, and imagine that face slowly morphing into yours. See your eyes replace hers, your hair appear on her head, her lips changing to yours. Think of the most pleasant memory you can come up with and imagine it being Isis’s memory.  Learn about Isis. See her memories and make them yours. Now imagine Isis slowly fading away into dust and imagine your body absorbing the dust as it touches your skin. Imagine Isis’s body and spirit rise up and flow into your body, soul, and mind. Now, open your eyes and tell me what you see,” Ra said slowly and soothingly. I came out of my trance and opened my eyes, but what I saw wasn’t what I should have been. “What do you see, Jackie,” Ra asked after a few moments.

                “Everything looks like what Nefertiti explained the Duat looks like,” I said slowly, “I see you, not as a human, but as a giant falcon with a giant ball of light that looks like the sun,” Ra chuckled.

                “Then the merging ceremony has been a success,” Ra said happily “You are now seeing things the way Isis does. Congratulations, Jackie he said, or should I say Isis,” he said with a wink and a grin.
