Thread: Again They Shall Rise [Karameida x MellowYellow]

Anubis Morrigan Morrigan smiled. It wasn't a nice smile. She'd finally been able to put her plan into action. The first and trickiest parts of it were over. Anubis had been summoned and was now bound to her and to the hero, Cu. She'd expected more trouble from Anubis but he--- she seemed to realize the quickest way to get revenge would be to go along with her. So she was smarter than Morrigan had first guessed. That could be troublesome in it's own right but for now it was working in her favor. Anubis turned fully to look at the man known as Cu. When he did the white linen swished around her legs and the gold adornments made enticing little sounds as she moved. He eyed him up and down and took in the spear he'd brought out. Even from here he could feel the magic emanating from it. It certainly wasn't something to scoff at. The magic from the staff mixed with the remnants of magic from Morrigans spells and with the innate magic that lived within Morrigan and Anubis. Darkness hung around the area like a cloak, the magic so strong that any mortal who wandered in there by accident would be crushed by the force. Even lesser deities would find it difficult to breathe and move in all that thick magic. Anubis pursed his lips and brought his arm to rest under his breasts. I see. I apologize for my earlier rudeness then. I am Anubis. Former god of the underworld, I hail from the Egyptian pantheon. I am associated with the Jackal. with that he bowed his head slightly in acknowledgement of Cu. He might've been human once but he was no longer a mere mortal. And as Anubis had been out of touch with the world for so long he was going to need a guide of some kind. As much as it disgusted him to go along with Morrigans plans he was smart enough to realize it was really the only option left to him at this point. Still it irritated him. He was pretty certain if he worked at it long enough he could slip out of her little binding spell but he didn't have the time or patience for it at this point. He turned his head and looked at Morrigan, the beautiful hazel eyes gleamed gold for a moment. You've got what you were after. I will help you hunt down these murderers. But do not think to control me like one of your pawns goddess. he said his voice low and sultry but dangerous undercurrents swirled beneath his words. I would never even dream of doing such a thing! she said smiling. Beneath their quiet smiles they attacked each other. For a long moment neither one moved. But after a few tense seconds Anubis turned his head away from her. Oh, one more thing. I'll be sending a crow along with you. It'll help guide you as well as serve as a direct link to me. If you find anything out at all, report it to me immediately. Pantheons are dying. We don't have time to waste. she said seriously. She raised up her hand and from the darkness a crow flew down and perched on her hand. Go with them she said to the bird. The crow cocked it's head before taking to the air to hover by Cu. And with that a gust of wind swirled through the stagnant magic drenched air and Morrigan disappeared leaving nothing but black feathers in her wake. She walked slowly towards Cu her hips swaying just the slightest bit. She came to a stop a few paces from where he stood. It's hard to believe. Entire pantheons getting destroyed. Of course we gods can die...but the strength you'd need to take on an entire race of deities is astronomical. There arn't many things in this world or in the realm of the gods that can boast of such a thing. he said loosely crossing his arms under his chest. Two pantheons wiped out.... she said closing her eyes and taking a breath. If you don't mind I would like to go to Egypt. I would like to see what remains of my pantheon. I may find something out there. she said dropping her arms to her side. She also wanted to say good-bye. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Cu closely. Well, at least Morrigan didn't pull me back into this world and leave me on my own. I realize it's not your will but I thank you in advance for your assistance. She said after a moment of silent observation. Anubis had been a fair god when he had ruled. His association with Thoth had taught him many things and had made him a wiser god. That still held true even after his eons of slumber. If you do not mind I would like to leave this area immediately. Her magic lingers and it's making me sick. I'd rather not talk here. she said before she started walking off. Her strides were long and graceful and caused the linen to float around her legs as if the wind itself had decided to play with the Egyptian beauty.
