It was late at night, and Jacob was outside Camelot, taking a leak, Because he did not want to disturb any of his friends.
" I told you not to drink all that orange juice " Said Azrael.
" It is not my fault. Mordred challenged me to " Said Jacob.
" Yes, and it seems that you lost twice today "
Jacob was now finished, and ready to go back to his bed, but that was when he noticed someone walking in the forest.
" Who in their right mind would be out here at this hour " Said Jacob.
" I could ask you that very same question " Said Azrael.
Jacob ran deep into the forest. Following the stranger.
The stranger was now standing still in the forest, and thanks to the light of the moon. Jacob was able to get a good look at the stranger from behind some bushes.
The stranger was wearing some ropes, and had a staff in his left hand, but what was truly odd about the stranger, was the fact, he had
" The head of a jackal " Said Jacob.
" Oh. I see now. That is Hermanubis. He is a god charged with guiding the dead to the underworld, but what is he doing way out here? " Said Azrael.
" Well. There is only one way of finding out. Let us ask him " Said Jacob.
Jacob got out from the bushes and walked straight up to Hermanubis.
" Excuse me mr. Hermanubis. Are you by any chance lost? "
Hermanubis turned around. Looked at Jacob, and then said " Well hello there, dear child, and no, I am not lost. I am just taking a walk "
" Oh I see. My name is Jacob, by the way " Said Jacob, and raised his right hand.
Hermanubis shook Jacob's right hand, and then said " I am Hermanubis the guide of the dead, but I must admit, dear Jacob. Most would have run away, at the sight of my jackal head. I must know. Are you not afraid of me? "
" Not at all. For you see. I too am not all human " Said Jacob with a smile.
Hermanubis was confused. So Jacob told him who he was, and some of the adventures he had been on.
" Wow. I truly am envious. Even though you have been through hardship. You still enjoy life to its fullest " Said Hermanubis.
" Don't worry I am sure the day will come when you will enjoy life, but for now why don't you tell me what you want to do, while we take a walk through the forest " Said Jacob, and then turned his back to Hermanubis, but all Hermanubis had to say was
" I too wish to experience life "
Jacob turned around, and then said " Don't. Don't. DON'T! "
Hermanubis whole body started to glow, and then Hermanubis inhabited Jacob's body, and all Jacob had to say was " OH COME ON. At least ask for permission first. It is not like I would say no "
" If you are not going to say no, then why should he ask for permission " Said Azrael from inside Jacob.
" Oh my. It seems that there is already someone else in here " Said Hermanubis also from inside Jacob.
" Yep. and it seems that we are going to be roommates from this day forward " Said Azrael.
" Oh I must say. This is getting quite exciting already " Said Hermanubis.
" Well I am glad that you're happy. I just hope that father wouldn't be mad about this " Said Jacob. and then teleported back to Camelot.
Meanwhile.
Gabriel saw everything that had happened in the forest from paradise itself, and all he did was, let out a sigh.
Even more meanwhile.
Lug was reading a book in the Morrigan's Cave.
" Serapis was another way to unify the greeks and Egyptians. Serapis at one point. Gained so much popularity (during the Roman Empire). That he often replaced Osiris as the consort of Isis in temples outside Egypt " Said Lug.
