AIDEN

"You got lucky, cause that's the only way you could have defeated one of Osiris's soldier"

"you don't say, aren't you supposed to be encouraging me?"

"My job doesn't include encouraging you, Jared"

"Tell me the full story of my birth, I want to know, at least it will help me understand my predicament more"

"Listen carefully, cause am not repeating it.

"In the beginning, there was Maat, which is the order of the universe and Apep, which is chaos. It was said that Maat and Apep came together to give birth to the gods. The first was Ra, followed by Osiris, Isis, Sekhmet, Thoth, Ptah, Heh and Hauhet, this original eight gods formed the Ogdoad. This gods where created to oversea the world. Then others were formed or birthed. Ra and sekhmet gave birth to seth, while Horus was son of Osiris and so on, but there was a fight between Ra and Osiris for supremacy. Ra eventually killed him with the help of Osiris's son Horus. As the god of afterlife and eternity he didn't die, just got sent to Duat which is the underworld and became the ruler instead. Osiris became the king god of evil after his fall into the Dust, so you can say it's fate that he ruled the underworld. Seth, who happens to be of chaos assumed Osiris's place in the Ogdoad and ruled as his father's right hand, only he wasn't content with that and sought to kill Ra. The goddess of fate, Shai saw this and warned Ra about his son's betrayal, but it was too late. Unlike Osiris though, he did die, and was stripped of his supremacy, but before he was killed he sent his Ka, that is a god's human body to the earth as a last dish effort to save himself. But by doing that he made himself totally human and defenseless with no access to his god powers since he was killed already.

It was his Ka that met your mother and fell in love with her, with you somehow inheriting powers that he thought was lost. Seth found out and killed both your mother and Ra's Ka, but your mother already gave birth to you and had hidden you away. The reason Seth wants you dead is that you share the same blood, which means you are the only one that has the biggest shot at killing him. Not all the gods approved of Seth's accension as the king god, let's just say his reign has being tyrannical. so we can safely say you are a weapon to some and a bane to others.

"wow, so what you are telling me is am kinda like a Demi god? Talk about overwhelming

Zain Looks at me sarcastically, "am surprised you haven't reach that conclusion before now yourself".

"My brain didn't process it before, it just started sinking in" Okay, so that was a lot to take in, looking back I realized I didn't really believe everything to be true, but now.

"Okay, so what exactly are my powers?

"Telekinesis, silkspeech, teleportation, electrokinesis, perspicacity, necromancy and shape shifting. You have two weaknesses, one your brother. You are simply each other's weaknesses and two, the sun set"

"What do you mean by the sun set?

"Simply put, you are weakest during the night.

"What the f....." I caught myself.

"Why? Cause it doesn't make sense to me. The Night is when the predators come out to hunt their prey and I thought am suppose to be one of the predators"

"Your father is the sun god, you are nearly undefeated during the day, so to make up for that, you have to be weaker during the night.

"that sucks man"

"Tell me about it, so do you understand everything now?

"yeah, I think I do"

"Well, Don't worry it's only the gods that can kill you or thier Kas in the night when you come into your full demigod powers. That's why gods have realms to keep themself safe. Since you don't have a realm or soldiers to keep you safe, you get to be able to shield your presence from them. You can think of that like some kind of failsafe but right now, you are easy picking for everyone"

Yeah, my situation doesn't look good even to me. Then something caught my attention from the all epistle he just said "Wait, i can shield my presence? You know you could have started with that"

"Totally, you have been unconsciously doing it for a long time with your power but that only works on humans. So the stronger you get, the more abilities you control.

"That's very refreshing to know" I suddenly remember the demon I fought.

"The demon I fought said he was a messenger of Osiris, where does he fit into all of these?

"Osiris is looking for a way to ascend to his former status and destroy the world, while your Ra is the first god created, he is of Order. But Osiris, he is Chaos's firstborn afterall. so if he captures you and kills you he gets your powers, then he automatically becomes the most powerful of them all, then you would have damned the whole world. Not only Osiris though, the other gods also want a taste of Ra's powers"

"So, what you are telling me is that am the prey they all want to hunt? and have literally got no help? The thought of that makes me sick to my stomach.

"My, you do ask good questions" he replied.

"Since when did you start speaking sarcasm?

"Moving on, Some maintain thier loyalty to Ra, but secretly so they can't outrightly help you because it puts them in danger. If you can master your powers quickly, I suppose so of them can be convinced to help"

Yeah, it's just like before. It's has always been me against the world but this is life and death and am pretty sure the death is going to be very painful. Yeah, even if I do die, i won't be anybody's bitch and I won't go down without a fight. Finally making up my mind, i looked at him with resolve

"Teach me"

"Gladly" he replies smirking .
