  "writing": "[b][u][center]Son Of Anubis[/center][/u][/b]\n\nA couple of days after arriving in ancient Egypt, and adjusted to his new and temporary lifestyle, Riley decides to check out the Pyramids of Giza.\n\nRiley joins a caravan that is on its way to the region, acting as though he is part of the crew to not draw suspicion. After arriving at the pyramids, Riley stares in awe at the structures towering before him before sneaking away, deciding to take a closer look.\n\nThe 10-year-old manages to slip into the main and largest Pyramid without being noticed and starts heading down a tight corridor, venturing deeper and deeper into the Pyramid until he realizes that he is lost, finding himself in a chamber with several corridors leading from it.\n\nRiley starts to panic, “shit, I should have been more careful,” he mumbles to himself, “I’ve completely lost my orientation!”\n\nThe 10-year-old looks around hastily, the boy takes deep breaths, “okay, panicking isn’t going to help me,” he mumbles, “one of these corridors has to lead to the outside, I can only hope I choose the right one”. So, Riley decides to follow his gut and starts heading down one of the corridors, but when it opens up again, Riley doesn’t find himself outside, but inside a huge chamber that is packed to the ceiling with gold, statues, ceramic vases and other objects.\n\n“Great, now I am totally lost,” Riley mutters, “how am I supposed to get out of here? I don’t want to spend the last days of my stay in this time period stuck in some Pyramid”.\n\nAs Riley looks around the chamber his eyes land on a statue, the 10-year-old tilts his head and walks closer, “looks like Anubis, but… younger, maybe 12, and he seems more anthro than usual,” he says to himself. The boy looks at the statue for a while before a grin forms on his face, “since I’ll be stuck here… it would be nice to have someone to talk to,” with that he pulls out his phone, opens the app and activates the scan function, soon the statue is scanned.\n\nOnce the statue is scanned, Riley opens the options list and selects the “soul and consciousness creation”.\n\nImmediately after confirming his selection, the statue, which is made of black marble with golden mounting around the eyes, and some what appear to be bracelets around the wrists, and wearing a high quality linen tunic, begin to tremble before the black stone fluffs as it becomes fur and the blue eyes suddenly blink before moving, looking around before resting on Riley.\n\nFor a while none of them say a word, they just stare at each other in silence, while Riley starts to have second thoughts about what he had done, the former statue just frowns, its blue eyes seeming to look into the 10-year-old’s soul.\n\n“Alright, mortal,” the former statue suddenly says, its voice sounding like a 12-year-old’s but a lot more dominant, “you better start explaining why you have awoken me”.\n\n“Um…,” Riley says, “I… I’m Riley, and… well… I… I kinda got lost. I… I’m a huge fan of you, and I only have just a couple of days left in this time period, and I didn’t want to spend my last days trapped in this chamber all by myself… so… well… I thought… having someone to talk to, even a powerful god like you… would… well… be fun”.\n\nThe former statue blinks, “okay, you lost me at “in this time period”,” he says.\n\nRiley, in his nervousness, then explains everything to the former statue, including that he used the app on his phone to travel back in time to ancient Egypt and used it to “awaken” the statue.\n\n“Sounds more like black magic to me,” the former statue says, “however, from what I have seen, you mortals, at least some of you, are smarter than you look. Though I doubt you are one of those “smart mortals”, I mean… awakening a god just to have company… doesn’t sound like the best idea”. The former statue then smirks, “you know what I could do to you if I wanted to, right?”\n\nRiley, now fully aware of what he had done, swallows hard, “y-yes, sir Anubis,” he says quietly, “I… I admit that… that I didn’t think”.\n\nThe former statue chuckles, “how cute, you think I’m Anubis,” he says.\n\nRiley blinks and looks surprised and a little confused, “a-aren’t you?”\n\n“I AM related to him, yes,” the former statue says, “but I am not him”.\n\n“Then… then who are you,” Riley asks.\n\n“I’m Amun, the son of Anubis,” the former statue, Amun, says, “and I am not nearly as powerful as my old man, however… I could still pulverize you… however… I think you’d make a cute statue,” he then says, grinning.\n\nRiley feels fear rise in him, now fully regretting what he had done, “pl-please…,” he says, tears of fear starting to form in his eyes, “pl-please… I… I don’t want to d-die! I… I’m sorry for bringing you to life… for awakening you. I… I can fix this… I… I can revert what I have done… make you a statue again, but please…,” the 10-year-old starts to sob, “please… d-don’t kill me!”\n\nThe ten-year-old continues to back away until his back hits into a column and the boy slowly slides down it, sitting on the floor, cowering and crying in fear.\n\nAmun, still standing on his pedestal, looks down at the sobbing boy, his grin slowly fading until his face has taken on a neutral expression. Seeing the ten-year-old cower in front of him like a scared and wounded animal, causes Amun to feel a strange feeling of guilt, the former statue then suddenly levitates and floats towards Riley, landing softly and silently in front of the sobbing boy.\n\nRiley, when seeing the former statue levitate and floating towards him before landing in front of him, curls himself into a small ball, his whole body shaking from fear and crying.\n\nAmun stays quiet for some time and just continues to look down at the boy curled up at his feet. He then lets out a sigh before crouching down, “hey,” he says, his voice gentle, “I didn’t mean to scare you, I won’t do anything to harm you. I was just toying with you, I can’t help it, it’s in my nature”.\n\nRiley cautiously looks up, “y-you aren’t gonna… kill me?”\n\nAmun shakes his head, “of course I won’t,” he says, “I may be the son of the god of death, but I don’t kill, and neither does my old man. Look, I’m 12, okay? I’m in that age, even god’s have no control over their hormones, we can become a little… mischievous, so, I’m sorry for overstepping a line”.\n\nRiley looks at Amun and slowly starts to relax when he sees the genuine regret in the humanoid jackal’s eyes. The ten-year-old wipes away his tears and sits up, “that… that was… horrible,” he mumbles, “I really thought you’d kill me”.\n\n“Again, I apologize,” Amun says.\n\n“Accepted,” Riley says, he then tilts his head as he looks at Amun, “I… I didn’t know Anubis had… has a son… I mean… I never saw your name mentioned anywhere. I only know that Anubis… your dad… that he had… has a daughter”.\n\nAmun lets out a snort and rolls his eyes, “yeah he has… Kebechet… my sister,” he grumbles, “she’s the goddess of freshness, purification, and the embalming process”.\n\n“What… what about you,” Riley then asks.\n\nAmun looks at Riley, “me? I’m nothing,” he says, “I have no purpose… my only existence is to watch as my sister and dad get praised, while I don’t truly exist. Sometimes I ask myself why I exist, what purpose I have… however I receive no answers, not even from my dad… the other god-kids tease me… bully me… ignore me… show me that I don’t exist. That I’m meaningless… cursed to just be there… a part of my dad’s shadows, watching you mortals use MY figurines and statues to pray to my dad, while HE grows stronger and more powerful, I feel myself slowly wither away… until one day I simply fade away. A god can’t exist without mortals believing in him or her, feeding him or her with energy through prayers,” he continues.\n\n“Oh… I… I’m sorry,” Riley says, “I… I didn’t know that”.\n\n“I haven’t been existing for long, maybe only 1.000 years, and I could feel myself start to fade away, until suddenly my vision went black, and when it returned I was here… and I no longer feel as if I’m fading… I feel… strong… I feel alive,” Amun says, “and the longer I’m here… near you, the stronger and more powerful I feel myself becoming”.\n\nRiley’s eyes widen, “1.000 years,” he exclaims, “you… you look like a 12-year-old!”\n\nAmun raises an eyebrow before letting out a laugh, “haha! A god’s age is totally different from a mortal’s,” he says.\n\n“I… I guess,” Riley mumbles, “why… why has the feeling changed? From fading away to… this?”\n\nAmun tilts his head, “I suspect that, because you have awakened me… “brought me to life” as you have explained, by using that app of yours… I suspect that you are aware that I truly exist, that alone is enough to have energy… your energy flow into me,” he says, then grins, “by bringing me to life, by awakening me… you have freed me. I feel that I am no longer bound to the rules of the gods, I’m free to do whatever I want… free to finally live”.\n\n“What… what about your purpose,” Riley asks, “you said… a god needs a purpose to exist”.\n\nAmun nods, “that is true,” he says, “the longer I think about it, the more I am convinced that YOU are my purpose, that we were meant to meet… it’s strange, I feel as if we are… connected, that my purpose is to protect you”.\n\nRiley blinks, “th-that is weird,” he says, “but… but I too feel a weird connection to you… I… feel like being separated from you would… upset me… make me feel… incomplete. It’s so weird”.\n\n“Riley, I won’t let that happen,” Amun says, “nothing and no one will ever separate us. Protecting you is the least I can do for thanking you for setting me free”.\n\nRiley’s eyes widen, “how…,” he starts, then he facepalms himself, “right… you’re a god… of course you know my name”.\n\nAmun chuckles, “oh, the longer I’m near you, and the more energy I feed off of you, the more I learn about you, Riley”.\n\n“Like what,” Riley asks.\n\nAmun smiles, “that you are a boy, but you get mistaken for a girl almost daily because of your appearance”.\n\n“Well… at least you aren’t “fooled”, I guess,” Riley chuckles.\n\nAmun grins, his tail wagging, “though I do have to say,” he says, his grin turning into a teasing smirk, “you sure are hot for a boy!”\n\nRiley blushes hard, “oh… sh-shut up, Amun,” he mumbles, turning away.\n\nAmun giggles, “aaaw… sorry, Riley,” he says, “I couldn’t help it!”\n\nRiley shoots Amun a glare, he then smirks, “just a warning,” he says, “you better stop teasing me or else I’ll coat you in pink paint! I think… pink would suit you!”\n\nAmun smirks, “and if you’d do THAT,” he says, “I’ll transform you into a dairy cow for a month!”\n\nRiley’s eyes widen, “okay… fine, I see I’ll have the bad end in this “battle of authority”,” he says.\n\n“Hehe, yup,” Amun says, sticking out his tongue before getting to his feet, he then reaches a hand down, his tail wagging and a smile on his face, “come, Riley. Let’s get out of here”.\n\nRiley looks at the hand, then at Amun before taking the hand offered to him and suddenly Riley finds himself sitting on a sandy dune, the Pyramids of Giza in the distance and Amun standing nearby, smiling at him.\n\n“Was that teleportation,” Riley asks, getting to his feet.\n\nAmun nods, “yup,” he says, he then takes in a deep breath, “aaah… so, this is how the air of the mortal world smells like… so clean!”\n\n“Only outside of a city,” Riley says, “the air in a city is less… clean”.\n\nAmun chuckles, “I figured,” he says.\n\n“So… what now,” Riley asks, “I mean… you can’t walk around looking like that”.\n\nAmun grins, “well, I can shape shift into a human,” he says, “or… I’ll simply possess you without taking control of your body, only if you allow me to. I’d be able to exit your body and reenter it as I please”.\n\nRiley thinks for a while, “I think possessing me would be the best,” he says.\n\nAmun grins, “I agree,” he says before suddenly morphing into a blue glowing orb and zooming at Riley before sinking into the boy’s chest.\n\nRiley lets out a gasp when the orb enters him and is immediately aware of a presence in his head.\n\n“Cozy,” Amun’s voice echoes in his mind, “I think I’ll like it here… hehe!”\n\n“Next time, Amun,” Riley grumbles, “warn me!”\n\n“Naaah… where’s the fun in that,” Amun asks.\n\nRiley rolls his eyes, “you are just… so… well… you!”\n\n“Hehe, yup!”\n\nRiley sighs, “alright, I guess we’ll head to my current home,” he says, starting to walk, “I’m actually looking forward returning to MY real time period”.\n\n“I’m kind of excited to see how much different that period is compared to this one,” Amun says.",

The ten-year-old wipes away his tears and sits up, &ldquo;that&hellip; that was&hellip; horrible,&rdquo; he mumbles, &ldquo;I really thought you&rsquo;d kill me&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;Again, I apologize,&rdquo; Amun says.<br /><br />&ldquo;Accepted,&rdquo; Riley says, he then tilts his head as he looks at Amun, &ldquo;I&hellip; I didn&rsquo;t know Anubis had&hellip; has a son&hellip; I mean&hellip; I never saw your name mentioned anywhere. I only know that Anubis&hellip; your dad&hellip; that he had&hellip; has a daughter&rdquo;.<br /><br />Amun lets out a snort and rolls his eyes, &ldquo;yeah he has&hellip; Kebechet&hellip; my sister,&rdquo; he grumbles, &ldquo;she&rsquo;s the goddess of freshness, purification, and the embalming process&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&hellip; what about you,&rdquo; Riley then asks.<br /><br />Amun looks at Riley, &ldquo;me? I&rsquo;m nothing,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;I have no purpose&hellip; my only existence is to watch as my sister and dad get praised, while I don&rsquo;t truly exist. Sometimes I ask myself why I exist, what purpose I have&hellip; however I receive no answers, not even from my dad&hellip; the other god-kids tease me&hellip; bully me&hellip; ignore me&hellip; show me that I don&rsquo;t exist. That I&rsquo;m meaningless&hellip; cursed to just be there&hellip; a part of my dad&rsquo;s shadows, watching you mortals use MY figurines and statues to pray to my dad, while HE grows stronger and more powerful, I feel myself slowly wither away&hellip; until one day I simply fade away. A god can&rsquo;t exist without mortals believing in him or her, feeding him or her with energy through prayers,&rdquo; he continues.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh&hellip; I&hellip; I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo; Riley says, &ldquo;I&hellip; I didn&rsquo;t know that&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t been existing for long, maybe only 1.000 years, and I could feel myself start to fade away, until suddenly my vision went black, and when it returned I was here&hellip; and I no longer feel as if I&rsquo;m fading&hellip; I feel&hellip; strong&hellip; I feel alive,&rdquo; Amun says, &ldquo;and the longer I&rsquo;m here&hellip; near you, the stronger and more powerful I feel myself becoming&rdquo;.<br /><br />Riley&rsquo;s eyes widen, &ldquo;1.000 years,&rdquo; he exclaims, &ldquo;you&hellip; you look like a 12-year-old!&rdquo;<br /><br />Amun raises an eyebrow before letting out a laugh, &ldquo;haha! A god&rsquo;s age is totally different from a mortal&rsquo;s,&rdquo; he says.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; I guess,&rdquo; Riley mumbles, &ldquo;why&hellip; why has the feeling changed? From fading away to&hellip; this?&rdquo;<br /><br />Amun tilts his head, &ldquo;I suspect that, because you have awakened me&hellip; &ldquo;brought me to life&rdquo; as you have explained, by using that app of yours&hellip; I suspect that you are aware that I truly exist, that alone is enough to have energy&hellip; your energy flow into me,&rdquo; he says, then grins, &ldquo;by bringing me to life, by awakening me&hellip; you have freed me. I feel that I am no longer bound to the rules of the gods, I&rsquo;m free to do whatever I want&hellip; free to finally live&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&hellip; what about your purpose,&rdquo; Riley asks, &ldquo;you said&hellip; a god needs a purpose to exist&rdquo;.<br /><br />Amun nods, &ldquo;that is true,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;the longer I think about it, the more I am convinced that YOU are my purpose, that we were meant to meet&hellip; it&rsquo;s strange, I feel as if we are&hellip; connected, that my purpose is to protect you&rdquo;.<br /><br />Riley blinks, &ldquo;th-that is weird,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;but&hellip; but I too feel a weird connection to you&hellip; I&hellip; feel like being separated from you would&hellip; upset me&hellip; make me feel&hellip; incomplete. It&rsquo;s so weird&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;Riley, I won&rsquo;t let that happen,&rdquo; Amun says, &ldquo;nothing and no one will ever separate us. Protecting you is the least I can do for thanking you for setting me free&rdquo;.<br /><br />Riley&rsquo;s eyes widen, &ldquo;how&hellip;,&rdquo; he starts, then he facepalms himself, &ldquo;right&hellip; you&rsquo;re a god&hellip; of course you know my name&rdquo;.<br /><br />Amun chuckles, &ldquo;oh, the longer I&rsquo;m near you, and the more energy I feed off of you, the more I learn about you, Riley&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;Like what,&rdquo; Riley asks.<br /><br />Amun smiles, &ldquo;that you are a boy, but you get mistaken for a girl almost daily because of your appearance&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well&hellip; at least you aren&rsquo;t &ldquo;fooled&rdquo;, I guess,&rdquo; Riley chuckles.<br /><br />Amun grins, his tail wagging, &ldquo;though I do have to say,&rdquo; he says, his grin turning into a teasing smirk, &ldquo;you sure are hot for a boy!&rdquo;<br /><br />Riley blushes hard, &ldquo;oh&hellip; sh-shut up, Amun,&rdquo; he mumbles, turning away.<br /><br />Amun giggles, &ldquo;aaaw&hellip; sorry, Riley,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t help it!&rdquo;<br /><br />Riley shoots Amun a glare, he then smirks, &ldquo;just a warning,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;you better stop teasing me or else I&rsquo;ll coat you in pink paint! I think&hellip; pink would suit you!&rdquo;<br /><br />Amun smirks, &ldquo;and if you&rsquo;d do THAT,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll transform you into a dairy cow for a month!&rdquo;<br /><br />Riley&rsquo;s eyes widen, &ldquo;okay&hellip; fine, I see I&rsquo;ll have the bad end in this &ldquo;battle of authority&rdquo;,&rdquo; he says.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe, yup,&rdquo; Amun says, sticking out his tongue before getting to his feet, he then reaches a hand down, his tail wagging and a smile on his face, &ldquo;come, Riley. Let&rsquo;s get out of here&rdquo;.<br /><br />Riley looks at the hand, then at Amun before taking the hand offered to him and suddenly Riley finds himself sitting on a sandy dune, the Pyramids of Giza in the distance and Amun standing nearby, smiling at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Was that teleportation,&rdquo; Riley asks, getting to his feet.<br /><br />Amun nods, &ldquo;yup,&rdquo; he says, he then takes in a deep breath, &ldquo;aaah&hellip; so, this is how the air of the mortal world smells like&hellip; so clean!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Only outside of a city,&rdquo; Riley says, &ldquo;the air in a city is less&hellip; clean&rdquo;.<br /><br />Amun chuckles, &ldquo;I figured,&rdquo; he says.<br /><br />&ldquo;So&hellip; what now,&rdquo; Riley asks, &ldquo;I mean&hellip; you can&rsquo;t walk around looking like that&rdquo;.<br /><br />Amun grins, &ldquo;well, I can shape shift into a human,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;or&hellip; I&rsquo;ll simply possess you without taking control of your body, only if you allow me to. I&rsquo;d be able to exit your body and reenter it as I please&rdquo;.<br /><br />Riley thinks for a while, &ldquo;I think possessing me would be the best,&rdquo; he says.<br /><br />Amun grins, &ldquo;I agree,&rdquo; he says before suddenly morphing into a blue glowing orb and zooming at Riley before sinking into the boy&rsquo;s chest.<br /><br />Riley lets out a gasp when the orb enters him and is immediately aware of a presence in his head.<br /><br />&ldquo;Cozy,&rdquo; Amun&rsquo;s voice echoes in his mind, &ldquo;I think I&rsquo;ll like it here&hellip; hehe!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Next time, Amun,&rdquo; Riley grumbles, &ldquo;warn me!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Naaah&hellip; where&rsquo;s the fun in that,&rdquo; Amun asks.<br /><br />Riley rolls his eyes, &ldquo;you are just&hellip; so&hellip; well&hellip; you!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hehe, yup!&rdquo;<br /><br />Riley sighs, &ldquo;alright, I guess we&rsquo;ll head to my current home,&rdquo; he says, starting to walk, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m actually looking forward returning to MY real time period&rdquo;.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m kind of excited to see how much different that period is compared to this one,&rdquo; Amun says.</span>",
