The Palace Beast

"My book it is and not yours. Therefore, I decide what will happen to the one that possesses my book. Not you and not any of the gods." Anubis glared at Set.

"Do you know what will happen to us the gods if the mortals unlock the secrets of that book? We will be at their mercy because they will possess the power of a supreme god and that I will not tolerate. No one will take my place as the god of chaos and war, not even the mortals." Set laments.

"I understand your hatred for the mortals has gone beyond the heavens and I forbid you not to cause any more problem in the world of the mortals. We can tolerate the havoc you have caused in the past but not anymore." Set brought his nose close to Anubis neck and started sniffing. "Can you smell that?"

"Smell what?" Anubis enquired with curiosity. "And what are you even doing?"

"I can smell bluff. In other words, you are bluffing Anubis. My wrath has fallen upon the mortals and my trusted warriors have been deployed to search and find your lost book and to kill anyone that stands on their way. Perhaps if you can't keep the book safe, I will take it off your hands."

"My book in your possession will doom the gods and that I can't bear." Anubis grabbed Set on the throat and with a thundering voice he speaks. "Call of your warriors or I slay you right here, right now." "You don't have the guts." Set kicked pushed Anubis to the ground. He makes his way to Anubis and lifted him above the ground. "You are no match with me, Anubis and you know that!"

Kingdom of Maxis Andrew's Quarters Andrew was still staring at the shadowy figure standing in front of the door. He became spellbound that he couldn't move. Fear gripped him and his feet began to shake.

"Please don't hurt me." He pleaded. He barely could speak. The shadowy figure revealed his real form as it quickly transformed into a mysterious being with a canine body, slanting eyes, square-tipped ears, tufted tail, and a long, curved, pointed snout.

The creature was strange to him and was exactly looked like Set. Andrew swallowed a lump and spoke in a quivering voice. "Please if Kyle sent you, tell him he will never see me again with the princess. From today I chose not to be with the princess and I have decided to convince her to marry him. Please don't hurt me."

The creature unable to make sense of what Andrew was saying approaches Andrew and lifted him above the ground. He then began to stiff him. "Where is the lost book of Anubis?"

Andrew was struggling to breathe and to free himself from the mysterious creature's grasp. He surely did not know what the creature was talking about. The creature did not sound as if he was sent by Kyle either.

"What lost book are you talking about? I don't have any idea of what you are talking about. Perhaps, you are confusing me with someone else."

Tossing Andrew to the wall, he slowly approaches him. He stretched out his hand and a flaming daemon sword appeared in his hand. The sword was covered with a blue flame.

"Please, don't do this. I have no idea of what you are talking about, I beg you."

Andrew's cry for mercy was ignored as the creature slit his throat with the flaming daemon sword. "What mortals know how best to do is to lie." The creature mutters. ...In Egypt...

"I am no match with you but at least I can do this." Anubis quickly stretched out his hand. His staff appeared in his hand again. Without hesitation, he knocked off Set's hand from his neck and then slums to the ground.

He quickly picked himself up and then blasted Set with a blue fire that came out from his staff. Not giving Set any chance to fight back, he propels his staff towards Set and landed a flaming blow on Set's jaw.

Set was enraged as black smoke started oozing out from his nostrils. He picked himself up from the ground and then stretched his both hands as his shield and scepter appeared in his hands.

As Anubis was charging against him again, with his shield he knocked down Anubis. "I told you, you are no match with me. Now comes your end."

He raised his scepter above his head and draws more lightning from the sky. He was about to hit Anubis with it when Anubis mysteriously disappeared and was seen no more by Set. "No!" Set cried out. "Come back here and fight me fool!" Kingdom of Maxis At the Banquet The quests have come to the king's banquet and all seated. With shouts of joy, they cheered the king on his return from the land of the dead.

The king's return was doubted by some but they have gathered to witness everything without being told.

The princess was seated at the right hand of King Afa with Eva seated at the left hand of King Afa. The king rises to speak and then raises his scepter to calm the people and draw their attention towards him. "People of Maxis, with great joy in my heart I have..."

The king's speech was cut off when the head of Andrew was tossed at the king's feet. Bonnie quickly stood to her feet as she stared towards the crowds. She caught a glimpse of the canine-looking creature, slanting eyes, square-tipped ears, tufted tail, and a long, curved, pointed snout, standing at the entrance of the banquet hall bearing a daemon flaming sword.

"This banquet is canceled." yelled the canine-looking creature in a thunderous voice.
