Thread: Again They Shall Rise [Karameida x MellowYellow]

Anubis Thats very likely. Anything that causes so much destruction would not simply be satisfied with the divine dead. In time mortals and immortal humans alike would fall to them. Other worlds and realms till naught but they remained. And eventually they may even turn on each other. Anubis said thoughtfully. But who are they? Why do they destroy the deities? How are they doing it? she thought a troubled line forming between her brows. Troubling. she murmured. Shaking her head she looked at the proffered hand and hesitating a moment took hold of it murmuring a quiet thank you. She hoisted herself up behind Cu and hesitating for a second time placed her hands on his sides so as not to fall off. I don't know the strength of the other pantheons but I know the Egyptians were nothing to scoff at. Even Thoth was a force to be reckoned with and then there was Sobek as well as Bastet. The fact that they not only lost but didn't take down a single attacker seems to defy credibility. she said sounding even more troubled. For the first time the full implications of everything she'd been told had settled in. Anubis truly was -and forever would be- alone. A painful twinge crept across her heart. She vowed vengeance for her comrades who'd been destroyed so mercilessly. As they left the unsettling clearing, Anubis took a deep breath of the un-corrupted air and let out a long slow breath. He and his people did not belong to nor did they worship under the Egyptian Pantheon. Do not worry over-much about it. We'll manage something. she said with a little shrug. A silence descended over them as they rode farther and farther from the decaying stench that followed the Celtic goddess. Anubis glanced sideways at the crow that was following them and he felt a twinge of annoyance. He really didn't like the idea of working with that woman. Anubis was incredibly prideful. He'd abandoned the Egyptian pantheon once before out of pride. And now fate had dealt him the same hand as before but this time he must swallow his pride and play what he'd been dealt. It wasn't easy. As the silence lengthened between them it felt almost uncomfortable. She flexed her fingers and beneath them she could feel the strength of the immortal hero's body as he breathed and they rode. Shifting slightly Anubis glanced off to the side. Form truly did not mean much to a deity. They could appear male, female, human, animal and everything in between. But for sanities sake most deities aligned themselves as either male or female and for aeons Anubis had been identified as male. So this was all pretty much new to him and he wasn't sure how he really felt about it. As we're pretty far from Egypt and I don't exactly fancy the idea of spending weeks and months traveling I'll use my powers to open a gate-way. she said after a long while. However we'll need to stop by a town to pick up some things I'll need. she said taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. She wondered if this land had what she would need. That could prove slightly troublesome. But if push came to shove she could always contact the other realm. She wasn't exactly sure what to expect in this land I think it might be best if you took care of the transactions though... she said trailing off. Anubis had no intention of changing but also realized the people of this land might be distrustful of her because of how she looked. A woman with flawless mocha skin that tricked the eye and seemed to shine with an almost golden glow, her long dark brown hair floating on the breeze of the wind, her deep hazel eyes that sometimes glowed gold and seemed to pierce everything she looked at. Her clothing nothing more than a few thin impossibly white pieces of linen and gold jewelry that adorned her body, probably wasn't a common sight here and it was possible they would react negatively to her. And she really didn't want any more complications.
