Anubis: While the gods watch

[Harakiri]

Part 1:

 

 

 

The pyramids glint in the setting sun

 

A dying man walks the sands

 

his deeds done

 

 

 

Mirages waver in front of his face

 

water, and trees, and his wifes face

 

 

 

As he continues

 

his trek through the sand

 

He comes across

 

completely different land

 

 

 

The muddy banks

 

of the Nile he stands on

 

Dilapidated houses standing in the water

 

the river its new lawn

 

 

 

The flood has started, and murdered many

 

The man drinks the water

 

knowing it may murder he.

 

 

 

The water tastes like iron

 

and makes him throw up

 

as what little he has in him comes out

 

he falls into the water, face up

 

 

 

Down the river, his body went

 

his life was gone, his last breath spent

 

 

 

His mission complete

 

the gods he did meet

 

his power apparent before them

 

 

 

Fire burned in the eyes of the man

 

the gods looked at him, still covered in sand.

 

he was given new robes to wear

 

as a gods powers he learned to dare

 

 

 

The death of Anubis

 

the death of our lord

 

his mission complete

 

the man took the throne of his lord.

 

 

 

Hours before he was sent to find the temple

 

the gods told him it would grant him new power

 

his wife and child were told goodbye,

 

he knew he was about to die.

 

 

 

Inside the temple in the middle of the sand

 

Nearly in the middle of the land

 

He found the carcass of the half jackal, half man

 

and he took the body and ripped off its hand.

 

 

 

Drinking the blood, power coursed through his veins

 

And as he got the power it began to rain

 

the only water he would see for a week

 

the temples roof began to leak.

 

 

 

A week went by and he then died

 

by the power of the River Nile.

 

 

 

So as he learned the extent of his powers,

 

learned how to weigh a mans heart,

 

the gods had a war to fight

 

and so they told him they must depart.

 

 

 

So the man, Anubis, I guess his new name was

 

weighed dead mans hearts and gave them a place.

 

Set stood next to him half crocodile half lion

 

and ate the souls of the wicked.

 

 

 

Anubis placed a feather on one of the scales,

 

and then he sees his wife, trailing entrails

 

war has taken over the land

 

and as he watches his wife he ran.

 

 

 

"Don't!" She says as if shes not afraid.

 

He stops in his tracks, and turns around to the maid

 

"You used to be mine, used to help the king,

 

now your soul, I will have to wring."

 

 

 

As her heart was pulled from her soul

 

Set stood by and watched, and rolled

 

his laughter continued for half a year

 

his laughter brought him to sudden tears.

 

 

 

"A god," He says between outbursts,

 

"Is meant to uphold the justice of Earth

 

As you sit her crying over your woman

 

you completely deny why the gods brought you from the earth."

 

 

 

Her heart is placed onto the scale

 

and then Anubis begins to wail

 

Set takes her in his mouth and proceeds to eat her

 

"Your son is dead also, which is why I eat her."

 

 

 

Anubis cries echo around the room

 

In the doorway a little boy looms.

 

"Father." He says as he cries.

 

Suddenly Set tells him to come, time to die.

 

 

 

Anubis grabs Sets mouth

 

And rips it open until all the souls come out

 

he is thrown aside as the evil unite

 

and destroy the heavens without any fight

 

 

 

Anubis uses the last of his power

 

to send himself and his family back to Earth

 

to sit back down, in their own turf

 

But suddenly a man appears, with great girth

 

 

 

"Osiris!" Anubis yells, watching the man.

 

"You have ruined us, not part of our plan!

 

Your death should come as no surprise."

 

And with a wave of his hand, Anubis and his family explodes and dies.

 

 

 

With chaos spreading through the lands,

 

evil souls conquering the heavens

 

Anubis is the only man with an ounce of power

 

but he knows his only hope is the nuts flower.

 

 

 

Nut created the flower many years before

 

in case of a loss of power, like Anubis had done

 

In order to get it you must past a test

 

Nut, in a fight, you had to best.
