    At the end of the hall, the curtains of red light for the Modern Age changed to dark purple. Supposedly this marked the beginning of a new age, though none of us knew exactly what sort of era it would be. If Apophis destroyed the world, I guessed it would be the Age of Extremely Short Lives.

    I smiled with delight. “You clever boy! You learned the path of the gods on your own? I knew there was a reason I didn’t turn you into a banana slug.”

    Felix pumped his fist. “Yes! I found my path. I’m supposed to follow the god of ice!”

    I scratched my head. “There’s a god of ice? Egypt is a desert. Who’s the ice god?”

    “I have no idea!” Felix beamed. He slid across the ice and went running off with his penguins.

    In the Duat, Anubis looked as he always had, with his tousled dark hair and lovely brown eyes, but I’d never seen him filled with such rage. I realized that anyone who dared to hurt me would suffer his full wrath, and Walt wasn’t going to hold him back.

    I looked at Walt gravely. “How many months have I trained you, Walt?”

    “Seven,” he said. “Almost eight.”

    “Really?” I asked. “All by yourself?”

    “Yes!” Shelby assured me. “Kill, kill, kill!” She stomped her feet, and sparks flew from her shoes. Then she ran off, chasing her friends.

    “That girl has a future,” Sadie said. “Reminds me of myself when I was young.”

    I shuddered. What a disturbing thought

    You cannot push me away without pushing away the gods, Apophis had warned.

    The bloody serpent might have mentioned that before we execrated him.

    “So let me get this straight,” Carter said. “The two guys you liked—one who was dying and one who was off-limits because he’s a god—are now one guy, who isn’t dying and isn’t off-limits. And you’re complaining.”

    “Don’t make me sound ridiculous!” I shouted. “I’m not ridiculous!”
