I woke up to the sound of two voices arguing.
"It can't be her Ra, she looks different." She whispered-yelled. I blinked my groggy eyes and focused on the two figures in the room. The woman looked agitated and Ra looked tensed with his jaw clenched tight.
"You are mistaken Ra, you just miss Bastet." The name resonated in my head, it sounded familiar. Who is Bastet? I cocked my head to the side. The still unknown woman looked up as she registered my movement.
"You are awake." Yeah evidently I was awake.
"Are you feeling okay?" I didn't reply but stared at them.
Why isn't she saying anything?
Are you sure she is okay? Must have hit her head harder than I thought.
If she did it's all my fault, I shouldn't have frightened her.
I continued looking at them, throughout the conversation they just had, they didn't even move their lips. How on earth is that possible? Something weird and fishy is going on. It was like they were communicating through their minds.
"Are you going to kill me?" I asked in an indifferent tone as I stretched. I had learned early on, not to be show fear in this kind of situation.
"Whoa, no one is killing anyone or dying here. My name is Menthu."
"Let me guess, you're a goddess too." I arched my brows.
"Yes I am a counterpart of Ra, a sun goddess."
"You mean like his sidekick." Menthu frowned as she took offence at what I said.
"I am surprised that you are taking this impressively well." She said in an indifferent tone.
Are you sure that she is not a spy from another god.
I don't think so, she was scared shitless when she first saw me in my god form.
You know she could be pretending. I frowned, seems like Little sidekick doesn't like me.
I don't think so, I feel like she is Bastet.
"You know I am sitting down here and it's rude to talk about someone as if the person is not there."
"How is this possible?" Menthu looked puzzled. Yeah, I was even questioning my myself.
"Who is Bastet?" I was drawn to that name but I don't know why. But I had a feeling that name held a lots of secrets.
"Someone you don't need to know." Menthu quipped.
Can you hear my thoughts human?
"Yes, Yellow fog." I replied sarcastically.
I told you that it might be her.
That's is not possible, I saw her disappear. She has been gone for a century, it just can't be. Menthu shook her head.
Wait, are they comparing me to ..... Bastet. And I knew this Bastet must be one of them, and it seems like she is missing? I just don't understand what's going on. Menthu turned to leave.
"Menthu, just make sure that nobody knows about this till it is resolved."
"I don't know Ra. If you are found out, you are on your own." I scoffed lightly, Little sidekick was a coward.
"Thank you, Menthu I will not drag you into the issue."

Unknown Pov
In an unknown location
In a room that looks like a place of worship, like an altar. It was dedicated to a long forgotten god. A young beautiful woman with white long hair who was lying in a pool of luminescent water. She was immersed in the water. She was surrounded by a group of twelve people who were humming and murmuring strange words that sounded archaic.
With a gasp, the white haired woman broke her head through the water.
"Hmmn, the protector of all, the guard against evil, the mighty one that fears no one, she has arrived in the land of the gods, but have not awaken." Chanting from the different angles accompanied the words of the speaker.
"She will bring to light, one of the most deadly plots that ever existed." The chanting ensued again followed by deep humming.
"There will be a great tousling between the higher entities." The woman shook hand as if she was been electrocuted.
"Brothers and Sisters, let's join hands to assist her, because this will be one of the most difficult journey of her various lifetimes."
With that, she fell back into the pool of water exhausted by her visions.
LanaI was befuddled by what happened the day before. It was still wondering how I was able to hear what they both said. Could it be that I was related to the gods? like a descendant of theirs. Even if I was, which one was my direct relative? I had to find answers and finally clear up this confusion and know the reason I'm here. I was chilling in the balcony at the top floor of my room. Not that I was getting used to it. I still wanted to go home, back to my normal life. But this was fun, you know just sitting down and doing nothing. Getting pampered like a queen, eating different delicious kind of foods and doing almost anything I like. You know a girl could get used to a life like this.Gem, one of the maids that was assigned to me called out."My lady, your bath is ready." I turned to see her holding a towel with her head in a bow. I sighed."I've told you not to bow to me. I am not a god." "Forgive me my lady, but we have been instructed to do that." She curtsied, along with the
LanaStrangely, I was having a good time in this mystery unknown world. But little did I know it was going to change and I would be exposed to different things. But that was going to work out in both negative and positive ways for me.I was in the dinning room enjoying a pleasant sumptuous meal without Ra. Yeah, not that he eats often but at least he makes an effort for me. This days I was getting kind of fond over him, it was like we had been long time friends. Strange though, back to my present I was busy sucking on a succulent grapefruit before chewing when a bright flash went off right in front of me. Now who the heck was it again? I knew it wasn't Ra because the aura I was getting from this unknown person was kinda of ... cool. The flash cleared to reveal a .... man with a very astounding complexion, pale skin and icy blue eyes. He was tall but not as Ra, he was slightly muscular and his build was slightly similar to that of a professional swimmer. And the weirdest thing was tha
Lana After the incident at the dining room, a lot of doctors came to attend to me. They all came up to the same conclusion that my throat was just sore and I needed to take it easy.After that I took my bath with the maids at my beck and call. I was applying lotion to my skin when my door opened with Gem and the other memaids bringing in plates of food and fruits. They dropped the dishes on the table beside my bed. I looked over to see that they were mainly semi liquid, thank God at least it will make it easier for me to swallow."Lord Ra instructed us to bring these to your room. He said you should take it easy on your throat." Awwwnn, Ra was so considerate and sweet. "And Lady Menthu sends her regards." They bowed down as they turned to leave. Gem turned back and clicked her fingers."Before I forget, Lord Ra says you should be ready in an hour time." No, I take back my words, Ra is an asshole.********************************************** Unknown PovI was sparing with one of m
LanaAfter eating in my room. I wore a flowing gold dress with open toed sandals. Gem applied light make up to my face, according to her to enhance my natural beauty. Even I was appreciating myself in the mirror after she was done.Ra was waiting for me in the his receptive chambers when I entered. He looked at me in awe, I could see the appreciation in his eyes."You look beautiful." I arched my brow."So I look ugly on a normal basis." I pulled my face into fake frown just pulling his legs. He fell for it."No, that's not what I'm saying. You always look breath-taking every time I see you." He looked into my eyes as he said that. We were both lost in the moment, he was looking at me like someone so special to him. Like he loved me? I creased my brows in thoughts. "Wipe that frown from your face, you look hideous right now." His expression was back to normal. I elbowed his hard stomach as I laughed softly, sore throat remember? "We both know that's a lie. You look uptight, Is it be
LanaThe room quietened as we flashed in. Everyone was looking at us, more at me though. Without saying a word, they took their respective seats even Ra as he left not before clenching my shoulder in one last form of support. I felt very small under all their penetrating stares, it was so unnerving. I fought the compulsion to fold my arms or hide from their scrutinizing stares. I just needed The Summoning to start, so that I could leave this uncomfortable place.A minute later, Khonsu flashed in. He was wearing an ice blue pants with a sleeveless jacket, leaving his chest open. His face was expressionless displaying indifference, like he had other things to do and this summoning was a waste of his time. "Can we get this summoning going?" He grumbled with a hand in his pocket. "How nice of you to grace us with your presence, Khonsu." One of the ladies spoke with a false smile on her face crossing her slim legs. She was the image of feminine grace. I noticed there were only three ladi
Lana I was turning around restlessly in my bed, crunching my brows tight in confusion. I was confused because of the different dreams I had in just one night. And the worst thing was that I didn't understand any of it since they were coming in the form of flashes, and I was always dying in each one.The last one before I jolted awake, I was running away from some people. Though I couldn't see their faces since they were blurred. I couldn't get away fast enough and got hit on the back with a club.That was when I woke up with a gasp, my body and the sheets were covered with sweat. I was breathing heavily scared shitless out of my mind. What was that and when did that happen? I felt a pricking sensation at my back and lifted my pajamas top. I felt around the area, it was sore and I was feeling remnants of the pain. Wait! what was going on? I rushed to the bathroom and moved to the mirror. I lifted my PJs top again, turned to the side and checked again. I sucked a breath at what I sa
LanaI never the library to be this big, but what did I expect when it is owned by a god. It was divide into sections and arranged in rows and columns. I was amazed at the monstrosity of the library, I walked over to one of the shelf and touched, more like caressed the spine of one of the books on it. "Do you like it, my lady?" Gem asked with a little smile in my direction. She always had that little smile thing going on. "Why yes. I totally love it." I screamed in excitement and almost twirled. I heard shuffling of feet coming toward our direction. My little charade must have alerted them to the presence of other people in the library. "Who is there?" an old croaky male voice called out. I exchanged glances with Gem, that person had to be very old. His voice had that droopy feel to it."It's me Gem." Gem called out. The shuffling feet was coming closer and then an old man came out from the side of one of the shelves. He was very old and had wrinkles all over his face. The most ou

Her neck was going to get sore in the uncomfortable position that she was sleeping in. But first, I had to keep all the books I had taken and return them to their respective shelves.When I had finished placing them in the shelves, I saw a white paper peeking out from one of the books grabbed my attention.

LanaSome weeks laterAfter the day I went to the library and saw that mysterious book, I never went there again because it seriously creeped me out.Besides Ra was hardly available since he went on missions to the human world doing what I had no idea of.And I didn't tell him about my dreams, something told to withhold that information from him like it wasn't the right time to say anything.Today after taking my bath and eating, I strolled out to the balcony where I saw Ra training with his men. His golden skin glittered under the sun with sweat as he turned, dodged and kicked at his opponents.Their actions pulled at my interest, so I went down to the training arena to take a closer look. There were three men currently sparring with Ra, they all yelled and attacked as one.Ra dodged the first one, kicked horizontally at the second and punched the last one hard. The last one collapsed hard on the floor as I gasped with shock.Shit! Did that guy just faint because of Ra's punch? Some of
