I should have told you this, but we didn't meet the Greek god of the dead,
we met the Egyptian god of the dead, Anubis.
At first I was surprised, I could rarely visit the Duat anymore,
all that Greeks shouldn't mix with Egyptians garbage.
So anyway, we entered the damp,stinky,incredibly dirty River Styx,
and there he was, waiting on the riverbank.
He wore a dark gray The Cure t-shirt, a leather jacket, worn-out jeans and combat boots.
He seemed sad, as if I had come at a wrong time.
"Bailey, you shouldn't be here. Hades has lost his son;Nico to Gaea." he said.
Suddenly,the IPhone 5M rang. It was Annabeth, this time.
-Bailey? Thank the gods I reached you!- she said.
"What'cha need? 'cause I'm kinda busy." I replied.
-Leo forgot to mention, you might encounter Anubis, the god of the dead, cause- Oh! He's there!- she told me.
"Hey, Annabeth." Anubis said, gloomily.
-Dude. What's wrong? You look like you lost Ammit.- she said to him.
''Nico has been kidnapped by Gaea." he told her.
-WHAT?!?!- Annabeth shouted.
''Yep.'' he responded.
Annabeth hung up quickly.
Suddenly, Hades materialized next to him.
"THIS IS HOW YOU SEARCH MY KINGDOM?!?! BY TALKING TO SOME DEMIGOD?!?!" he yelled,furious. Hades took deep, short breaths and said;
"Oh, Bailey. I have been given orders to let you pass through my portal to the Bay Area."
"Who gave you orders?" I asked him.
"Why do you care?!" he snapped.
I just shook my head.
He disappeared,leaving me with Anubis.
Anubis sighed,and said;"Uhh... I think Uncle Hades is a bit.... stressesd."
"You think?!" I yelled in frustration.
He raised his hands in defeat and said;
"Fine.Let's go."
We walked to the portal in silence.
As I stepped through, Anubis called out;
"Be careful, Bailey. You might not find what you're looking for."
I only had time to wonder what he meant, before I fell into the portal with Fulminata pitching over me.
