Walk of Purgatory [3]

"Anubis."

It was a single word, but it was spoken in a place where words were never meant to exist. It reverberated through the space, turning the silence into something else. 

WHOOSH!

A huge sound came from the darkness below as the one residing there reacted. Undoubtedly, that aura also indicated the presence of a Divine Being. More specifically, a Demon. 

With two Divine Entities in his vicinity, the fact that Atlas was able to stand and speak, even as a living soul, was unbelievable. 

Anubis, the gatekeeper of the underworld, kept his gaze on Atlas' body. However, he did not speak. 

Atlas never expected him to. 

He remembered those conversations he had with Horus. 

"Anubis is one of the most loyal people you'll ever see. He's a role model, in a way, but I grew up thinking he was also an enemy."

Horus had spoken with a wry smile on his face, looking up at the sky knowing Anubis was not looking back.
