Blast From the Past

I woke up for the second time with a resounding groan. Thankfully, I was inside my room in the cabin I had been living for the last five years. I thought meeting Hestia and Anubis was a dream but then my gaze stopped on the four items mounted to the wall of my room; the coat, the swords, the map and the mask.

“Good morning?” greeted a familiar voice. I turned to my doorway and saw Anubis in his human form. “Did you sleep okay?”

“Yeah, the best I’ve had the last few years in fact.”

“That’s good.”

“What are you doing here, Anubis? I thought you’re hanging out with Hestia?”

“I did, but then she told me I needed… friends that are close to my age range.”

“I am a few thousands of years old, spiritually at least. I still have the mentality of a teenager though.”

“She meant my mental age as well.”

-Oh. Anubis’ other form is a young man in his late teens after all.

“Congratulations on passing the trials of the Pagoda Tower. Everyone’s happy for you, especially Buddha.”
