I didn't ask for it to be me, i didn't ask to do what I've done, but when this... but when Mr.Gram gave me the book i guess I didn't have much of a choice. It really all started with me in the library checking out a stupid book for a stupid book report for a stupid major grade, I know stupid right? I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for the fact that it counted towards my final grade and if I failed one class this 6 weeks I would have to stay behind and I wouldn't be able to graduate and trust me I did not want to stay another year in high school.
The subject for the book report was Egyptian Mythology. I didn't know what that was so I asked Mr. Gram. "Excuse me Mr. Gram but where would i find non-fiction books on Egyptian mythology?" "I'm guessing your doing your book report for Mrs. Krum. Everyone has been in here and checked almost every single last Egyptian book. Lucky for you
I have the last book in our collection "The Moon of Thoth." Not that there's really a moon of Thoth it's just that his symbol is a moon disk..." "I'LL TAKE IT." I had to stop him before he got carried away with himself, if I didn't you could be stuck in this library for hours on hours. I took the book home and laid it down on my night stand for later.
When I was done with dinner at 7:30, I got right to work on the book report since it was due tomorrow (by the way I'm a really bad procrastinator). When I opened the book I felt this warm glow, but I didn't pay attention to it. I started reading, I wasn't planning on reading the entire thing, but then before I knew it I finished the book. I looked over at the clock and it was only 7:35.
"That's odd" I thought. "Not when your the god of knowledge." said a weird voice. I quickly turned around looking for whoever said that. No one was there. "Who said that?!" "I'm in your head, Julius." "How did you get in there?" "It's pretty simple when you're a god, but I guess I do have to describe it to you. You see I am an Egyptian god. One you know of called Thoth." said the weird voice in my head.
"Yeah I know you, your the Egyptian god of writing and magic. Your symbols are a moon disk and a papyrus scroll, and your sacred animal is an Ibis and Baboon. Wait how do I know that?" "Because you read my book, but anyways there's not much time, I will quickly teach you how to make a portal."
My vision and mind went blank and all that I could see was how to make a portal that can take me anywhere through the daut.
"Now open a portal to The Dessert Lands and we'll be on our way." Thoth said. "Wait I'm not going anywhere until you tell me 1. How'd you get inside my head, 2. How did you know about my book project, and 3. What the heck is the daut." I was getting very annoyed about all his jibber jabbing. "Right you don't know much about Egypt or their history, but all of this will be covered when we're on our way through the mission." Thoth said with a smart aleky tone. "NO I want answers now." I was now really mad.
"Too bad i'll force you to make a portal. Next thing I knew I held up my hand and spoke weird words that I somehow knew meant portal in Egyptian and then a weird tubular sand thing showed in front of me, and I was sucked in. I woke up feeling very hot (not in a attractive way) and felt itchy all over. Oh and also I felt hot breath on my face, I opened my eyes and all I could see was razor sharp fangs then Thoth said "RUN!"
