Chapter 46: We Heard Your Cries in the Night

Casandra felt Set’s blows falling upon her body, breaking and bruising it. She never thought she’d be in such a horrific fight as this. She once got in a cat fight at school with a classmate over her ex boyfriend. Now, all those things seemed so small and insignificant in comparison. They certainly hurt less, that was for sure.

“We heard your screams and the God of the Underworld allowed us to join you,” came a deep voice from beside her.

She turned to face the voice and saw a tall man, wearing the head of a jackal over his head. His own face was hidden under the shadow of the pelt except for his glowing golden eyes. She recognized those eyes. It was Anubis! But, not as a dog now, as a strange human thing. Beside Anubis she saw a beautiful, winged woman who appeared half human and half bird. She recognized her too, as Nephthys!

“You have come!” she cried and dashed to them.
