Chapter 23 - "Meeting with the Gods"

The Underworld, 0:00 Unknown

Banayote is walking to a castle in the Underworld. He stands in front of two giant doors. The two guards nod, and they open the giant doors. Banayote walks inside to see the most luxurious castle decorated with the rarest stones. The color of the floor is pitch black, like he is in space. Banayote is greeted by two maids. "Greetings, Mr. Banayote. Follow us." Banayote nods and follows the maids. The maids stop, turn to Banayote, and open the door. Banayote says, "Thanks." The maids nod, and Banayote walks inside to stand in front of the leaders of the Underworld. All their eyes are on Banayote with serious expressions. Banayote feels the tension in the air. He sees an empty seat, goes to it, and sits down. Banayote stays silent until one of the gods breaks the silence and says, "A human. That's interesting. Nice to meet you, human. I'm Anubis." He extends his hand for Banayote to shake. Banayote smiles, feeling relieved, shakes Anubis's hand, and says, "It's nice to meet you, Anubis. I'm Banayote." Anubis smiles and says, "So, what brings you here?"

Banayote says, "My girlfriend asked me to come for the meeting." Anubis says, "Oh, so you're her boyfriend." Banayote says, "She told you about me?" Anubis says, "Of course she did." One of the leaders says, "This is the first time I've seen her happy. I don't remember seeing her this happy. What's your secret, human?"

"Oh, I meant Banayote. Sorry," Banayote says. "It's ok. If I may ask, may I ask your name?" The leader says, "Oh, sorry, how rude of me. I'm Uzzmodios." Banayote's eyes widen and says, "Wait, you're the Sin of Lust?" Uzzmodios says, "That's correct, the one and only." Banayote says, "Wow, that is so amazing." Uzzmodios says, "Thank you, but you know what's not amazing?"

Banayote says, "What is it?" Uzzmodios's expression changes to anger. "That bastard Lucifer, always late. He was supposed to be here. No wonder he's a fallen angel." Another leader says, "I agree." Anubis says to Banayote, "So, tell me, when are you going to ask her?"

Banayote says, "Ask what?" Anubis says, "Oh, come on. You know what I'm talking about." Banayote says, "I'm sorry, I don't really." Anubis replies, "I'm talking about you marrying her." Banayote's eyes widen and blushes. Banayote starts laughing nervously.

Anubis interrupts him and says, "Look, don't worry. I'll take care of the wedding. I'll throw you the biggest wedding anyone has seen." Banayote gets frustrated but is blessed by Anubis's generosity. Banayote says, "You want to throw me a wedding?"

Anubis nods and says, "Of course. After all, you make her happy. No wonder; I can tell that you're a good guy, and it will be an honor for me to throw you a wedding." Banayote smiles and says, "Thank you so much, Anubis."

A sound of a door being opened can be heard. Banayote turns to see if it's his girlfriend.
