Chapter 25 - Two birds with one stone.

(Morsi's mansion)

"Finally you are mine, Nessy Saadid " Aposis said to the unconscious Nessy in his arms with an evil smile.

*earlier on*

"Don't thank me yet goddess we still have a war to wage" Aposis said with authority as he went back to the sofa and sat down.

"What do mean? " Nut asked as he looked at him in confusion.

"Are you going to act dumb at this point? " Aposis asked with irritation. "I am talking about Geb, he now knows you are here, and would want to hunt you down" he said in a serious tone, stressing the last word.

"But why would he want to do that demon lord? " Nut asked in teary eyes. "Doesn't he recognize me or is that his memory was washed, l am his Nut for crying out loud" she talked between sniffs.

"Ha ha ha ha" Aposis laughed in a very annoying manner, but Nut dare not show her annoyance. "Indeed goddess l really underestimated your senselessness. What don't you understand in Geb has moved on and no longer loves nor upholds you. His eyes now behold another, whose innocence and good virtues is very alluring to even spiritual beings of high ranks" he said with dreamy eyes as he thought of her.

"And who could that person be my lord, who is that that wants to take my Geb away from me, just say her name my lord and l would find her and kill her myself " Nut said with anger written all over her face and rage all over her face.

"Tsk tsk tsk" Aposis stood up and walked to Nut, he raised her chin and stared into her ocean eyes, "not so goddess, l want her for myself. I would have been the one by her side now if l wasn't so hell bent on planning my revenge on the sun god and your brother Geb". He gritted his teeth on the thought.

"However, this very special mortal has made everything easy for me. By captivating the earth god and making him fall for her, l can simply get my revenge on him by claiming him from her before he does, because I still sense her innocence till this minute, so there is still a chance for me to have her before he does and that's where you my dear goddess come in. it's like killing two birds with one stone "he said with a grin.

Nut followed his words duely and understood what he meant, she was finally going to have her Geb by just helping him to get the useless mortal. "What would you have me do demon lord just you say, and it is done " she said as she stood up to face him.

"Good" Aposis sat down again before speaking. "You have nothing else to do than to follow my orders on this. If you do well, l will send you and your Geb back to your time. But if you fail, l will destroy your soul and take my revenge on him as well in the dreadest way possible". He said, giving Nut a death stare.

"I want this more than you do Aposis, just say the words and let me do the actions so far as l would have my Geb, all to myself". She said with dreamy eyes as she remembered Geb.

"Sure goddess, then its a deal. I demon god Aposis give thee my word this day that if thou shalt heed thy words then l most assuredly shalt heed to mine" he spoke with his god tone, assuring Nut beyond all reasonable doubts that he would never fail her if she keep to her own end of the bargain.

"Then we are on the same part", she said with a nod. "Just tell me what to do Aposis and it is done ". She said with determination all over her voice.

"It's simple Nut, all l want you to is to be a good actress, because you're going to play a very important role. You are going to be Nessy Saadid." He said with a wired smile, like he was picturing her in the character.

"Who is Nessy Saadid? " she asked looking eagerly at him.

Aposis let out a deep breathe before speaking. "She is a rare jewel in the land of the mortals. She has this aura of innocence that any demon or god would crave to claim, not just from her chasity, but something else, something deep that l can't help but wonder at. She is also a star, a celebrated and acknowleged mortal in this current Egypt. She is the one that your Geb has thoughtlessly fallen for, and because of her forfeited you, your time and his will just to be with her. Thats how much of an influence she is. I am sure you saw her today clinging unto Geb at the sight of us. I believe she sensed our intimidating aura and felt subdued but l still wonder why she feels relaxed with Geb

Nut had a quick flash back. She recalled the woman who stood beside her Geb earlier on, but she didn't notice her because she was too engrossed with Geb. 'So she was Nessy' she thought in disgust.

"But how can't that be Aposis? We both know that Geb isn't blind, he will surely realize that l am not Nessy " she said looking intently at him.

"But of course Nut, l know he is not blind, and that's exactly why we would make him blind, too blind to see" he answered as he placed his hand chin thoughtfully.

"What? " Nut couldn't believe her ears. What did he mean by making him blind, she just hope it wasn't a literal statement because she definitely wasn't going like the idea of staying with her Geb blind. "Please demon lord Aposis, l do not understand. What do you mean by making him blind". She said, trying so hard to remain calm.

"Can you ever pretend not to be dumb " Aposis said with disgust written all over his face. 'Such a dummy ' he sighed to himself.

"What l meant was that you would be in a disguise, you will become Nessy". He said to her now being very serious. "I shall make you look exactly like her. Light colored skin, thick black curly long hair, sharp brows, straight nose exactly like her and you shall pretend to be her before Geb while l shall have the real Nessy all to myself. Once l claim her l shall mark her and she shall be mine and mine alone.

By that time, Geb shall be powerless over her and finally let her go as he shall remain yours forever and l promise you that no one shall change that fact". He said with an evil smile.

"Very well then l agree, but what are we going to do about her awareness, you know l need it, if l truly want to fool Geb.

"But of course Nut, l shall transfer her awareness to you, atleast concerning her company and everything you should know. But mind you, even if you're getting her awareness and my help in places l can, you still need acting and a lot of it for the Geb is very quick witted and can find you out in any slightest mistake. Most especially, do not at any circumstance, let your emotions take the lead, because they may betray you. And once you are ratted out when she has not being claimed, then you failed and will surely get your punishment" Aposis said, giving Nut a long stare as he talked.

"I won't fail Aposis, just give me the lead, and leave the rest to me". She said with a beautiful smile.

Aposis just nodded, as he crossed the distance between him and Nut, and placed his hand on her head. He started reciting some ancient charms, as She began to glow gold. The glow engulfed her whole being as she now shone brightly, blindly Aposis himself who closed his eyes as her continued the chant.

After few minutes, he stopped chanting and the glow stopped as well, as it began to get dimmer ever second. In no time, all the gold light was gone, and Aposis himself was surprised at what he saw.

He had never used those chants before to perform magic so he was very shocked on the outcome.

Standing before him was his Nessy, no not her. It was Nut in Nessy form. She looked exactly like Nessy that he could even mistaken them for each other if Nessy was present at the moment. He had really done a good job, but there was one flaw, she still had her god aura.

He gave it a quick thought, as he scratched his head. Then it dawned on him. All he had to do was take away her will and cover her aura with a bond. As she would no longer be a god, she couldn't break from the bond, ever! Until she gets her will back.

"Aposis" Nut called in amazement, "it really worked" she said, surprised at her now looks and voice.

"What's wrong ? " she asked, as she noticed that Aposis was worried. "Did something go wrong? "

"No Nut, just that l need to take away your will" Aposis said in a serious tone.

"Why? " Nut asked, feeling that was being too insecure about her and didn't trust her.

"You still have aura and that's shouldn't be. I need to take away your will, so that l can cover it. " he replied.

"Is that the only way " Nut asked in disappointment. She really didn't want to loose her will as a god.

"Am afraid it is" he said giving her an apologetic look.

"Then do it" she said determined.

Without wasting time, Aposis sucked all her will out of her, and covered her aura in the process.

"Aaaaah" Nut screamed at the sharp pain she felt but it was gone in no time. He also strengthened her after the process, as he got her ready for the task at hand.

Aposis drew away from her and stared at her with satisfaction. He had covered her aura and taken her will and she was now ready to go. Immediately, he summoned Nessy's soul with his power as a demon god.

He needed her to go to a place where he could switch her place with Nut without Geb's idea, so he caused her to go to the bathroom.

As soon as he felt heranswer the call of the manipulation, he gave Nut a nod which she returned and came to his embrace as he teleported the both of the to Nessy's office restroom where she was.

Aposis did everything very fast, as he knew that Geb was certain that something was wrong. He gave Nut Nessy's important awareness, that she would need for her acting, making Nessy weak as she fell unconscious

"You are now ready Nut, l have done my own part, better don't fail at yours" he said with a stern look. Nut gave him a nod, and teleported back to his mansion with Nessy in his arms.
