"Alright, let's proceed onto the next lesson."
"If you steadily accumulate faith I'll help you step into the next level."
"Ok...", said the crestfallen chick.
"Oh thats right! Your chance will come pretty soon! Us gods are going to gather soon and you might even meet Ra the leader of our realm!"
"If he takes a liking to you you just might receive some benefits, perhaps even a new bloodline!"
"Really, chirp!?", said the excited chick.
"Oh, right you're a phoenix! It's has been so long since our realm had one, since Bastet ate all of them I nearly forgot!"
"Chirp!?",
"You must be wary of her….she really likes to hunt birds and small mice….", warned Thoth in a serious tone.
"Eh? Who's Bastet?", it was the first time it has heard of any reason why all the phoenixes in the Egyptian realm went extinct. The revelation left the little chick shivering.
"Oh her? She is the goddess of cats and loyal guard to Ra."
"Cats!!!", it was the natural enemy of all bird kind!
"You should stay clear of her...", said Thoth, even divine birds like himself was at risk! He felt uncomfortable each time she looked at him…
-----------------------------------------------------------
A few decades later… the gathering of the gods was upon them! It was a blink of an eye in god standards.
"Little sun, your feathers are all messed up!", said Isis. She was currently fussing over the appearance of the little chick. She was cleaning it up and brushing its feathers.
"It was from training with big bro, he still won't let me off, chirp!", grained the little chick.
Isis the fussy mother started to fix her little baby up. It was time for the gathering of gods! To make a good impression on the supreme god, the little chick must be the very best. She was constantly trying to dress up the little chick, but it couldn't transform into a humanoid shape form no matter what they tried. (This is for a reason...) For a bird it was quite hard to find such outfits.
---------------------------------------------------
After a little bit of bantering the gods were happily enjoying some gosip or bragging about their worlds and champions. The atmosphere was very merry and when Isis and the little chick Arrived, many could help, but turn their heads.
Of course Isis was a very powerful goddess and her attire was in a rainbow like and feathers were attached near her selves was her signature style. On her shoulder rests, a little flinch.
There were several figures dressed in white tunics and draped in golden jewelry. In the egytian realm gold held a very profound meaning and was a must have accessory. Even the little chick got a golden necklace to wear on its tiny body. The spacial treasure in shape of an eye that Horus gave it was attached at the end of it. It wore a vest like tunic and golden accessories to match its tiny body.
The gods and goddesses came in all shapes and sizes. Many were in human/animal hybrid forms. Some even had blue or green skin, but they all chawed happily with each other.
"Haha I found a good one this time! He is quite the excellent spear wielder"
"That's nothing! I found the most wonderful jem, she's called Cleopatra..."
"That's nothing compared to the recent world I plundered was filled with water…."
"Little Sun try to see their faith points", whispered Isis. It was a great time to teach it about the hierarchy of the gods.
Sobek is a fierce looking man with a head of a crocodile.
"He was the god of crocodiles and was known as the lord of marshes and wetlands all across the Egyption realm.It was believed that his sweat & tears were the source of the waters of the Nilemany. Mortals that near the creatures would often fall prey to them if they aren't careful while near the river. The mortals thus fears this god and respects it at the same time, as the lord of the nile which is the source of life it flows through all the world that Egyptian gods rule.", Isis whispered.
"40,933,388,383 points"
Taweret a pump woman figure with a hippo for a head, looked pregnant with her chubby characteristics. She is the goddess of protecting pregnant women. She is very popular and many pray to her for her protection as well as for safe birth. She was with her husband Bes. Bes is god of childbirth, fertility, and sexuality and with his wife also a protector god of pregnant women and children. He looked like a dwarf with large ears, bearded, with huge balls hanging from his legs.(yup that is what he is depicted as).
"21,382,793,733 points"
"27,373,739,935 points"
"These gods don't share the same blood as us and were created due to faith of the mortals, while they are not descended from the origin, they are just as powerful"
Its beak dropped open. The heck it thought only Isis and Thoth were the only ones in the billions.
"How faith points do I have?", the depressed chick could help but compare itself with them.
"6,094 points", said an emotionless voice.
Hissss, that stings!
Oomph! It's heartfelt endless despair!. All these centuries it tried to rake up points and it only amounted to 2 thousand!
Isis pointed out each god and introduced Little Sun to them and explained what their domain was as well as their history.
"Oh and that's Baset that I warned you about! You must be careful of her!", warned Isis. she was sure that she wont go as far as to purposefully hurt her Little Sun, but she can succumb to her instinct at any moment.
She had a cat head as well as extremely sharp claws coming out of her hands. She had a cocky aura as well as a playful look to her. But once you catch her attention she turns into a fierce huntress that likes to play with her prey.
She resides over the cats and it's her minions that help keep the mortals safe from diseased filled rats, poisonous snakes, and scorpions. In the egytain realm cats were a favorite pick for pets and revered greatly as a sacred animal. The mortals adore them and Bastet enjoys one of the most abundant amount of faith in the Egyptian realm due to this.
Suddenly a warp gate emerges and a ghastly red figure emerges.
"Set!", shouts Horus. The uncle and nephew had an irreconcilable relationship. Even
after their battle he simply went to occupy another world.
"Set, you….", hissed Baset. As the loyal guard of the supreme deity, she hurriedly rushed to her lord's side and was readily to protected him. Her eyes turned into slits and was ready to pounce at any time.
Baring her claws she was on full alert and was about to slash at the figure, but then a blinding light flashed.
"Enough!"
