Sentire hums happily as she tries to cook and smiles at what she made before starting to make plates for everyone. "Din din!" She calls like Applejack did once.

"Let's see, fifty different statues in the entrance temple that could possibly be the entrance." Arkon says looking over the information they had.

Anubis chuckles as he eats away at his bowl. "And some of booby traps. Mostly traps."

"Right." Daring says adding a note.

Dusk raises an eyebrow to him. "How can you eat that?"

Anubis smirks as he licks his teeth. "Actually, it taste like crap. But I just like the texture and feel."

"So can I blow them up?" Vinyl asks.

Anubis glares to her and she can feel the cold air compressing on her. "I suppose this one's time is not yet ready?"

"No Vinyl, you may not." Arkon says.

Vinyl slouches and makes a puppy dog whine at that.

"Vinyl, just sit in his lap but don't interfere with our work." Daring says.

Vinyl immediately jumps into Arkon's lap happily and he starts to feed her. "Yummy."

"Uh huh…what about this one missing an arm?" Arkon asks.

Daring sighs. "Regular. Nothing special."

"Oh, this one looks like Spits if you take away the wings." Vinyl jokes pointing out the assets of the mare statue.

Spitfire frowns. "Hey, keep my figure away from the idea of these things."

"Why? Arkon already saw it." Vinyl reminds.

Spitfire frowns. "In public?"

"Pretty much. You remember yesterday?" Vinyl asks.

Spitfire pokes her side. "Private with him."

Vinyl stick her tongue out at her as Anubis was amused by their antics.

Sentire smiles as she drops another helping for him. "Do you like my friends and future family?"

"They amuse me so." Anubis says.

Sentire smiles. "Great. I'm glad you are at least happy about them."

"Yes, for now." Anubis says getting a glare from Dusk again.

Sentire smirks. "Talk to him. Calm him down and if not, maybe you can threaten death."

Dusk grumbles, not liking either option.

Anubis chuckles and puts his bowl down. "Alright then, also…is the mares on the team free?" He whispered.

"One of those you kidnapped maybe." Octavia says.

Anubis smirks to the team who was trying to busy themselves with eating. "Good. Let me talk to your mate first and see what is wrong with him." He said getting up and going over to Dusk.

Dusk frowns as he stares ahead and Anubis sits by him. "What?"

Anubis smiles. "So…you think that just because she spent time with me, it means she is not worthy anymore?"

Dusk grumbles as he fills his mouth some of the veggie meal.

Anubis shakes his head. "If your elemental friend, the rainbow one, was the same situation as Sentire, already had someone, then broke it off and decided to move on, would you get rid of her constantly and hate her for the rest of her life?"

"No, but she wouldn't be with me." Dusk says stubbornly.

"Ah." Anubis realized. "You're one of the 'one and only types.' I see now. It's not uncommon. In fact, your kind was encouraged that way so you would have more of an army back then. Lots of battles in that day and age. Oh, the death and slaughter. The blood running through the sand. Those were wonderful times." He said lost a bit in memory.

Dusk clears her throat.

Anubis blinks and looks to him. "Ah, right. Well then, I am separated from her. Trust me, if I didn't treat her heat, she would be worse off. And I'm sure you know a few females who didn't have their heat treated and now what their life is like. What's the point of abstinence?" He suddenly asks confused. "I mean, it leads to nothing but misery."

Dusk stops mid bite and looks to him confused as to why he changed subject.

Anubis chuckles. "I mean, the reason you have so much young pregnant mares, the real reason, no right teachings. No telling them how handle something, nope. It's all, don't do it. That's like leaving a sword on a table and expect the child to not touch it until they are of an adult age. How can you stop a child like that?"

Dusk blinks still confused till Anubis looks to him with a hard glare. "I can't have pups. I'm death and so anything I choose to is dead as well. Her father knew the whole time. Besides, what do you think would have happened if I just told her to not do anything until she's of the mortal's legal age? You think she would have the right control now? Be able to handle herself around males and hope that what she is doing is right? I didn't just teach her how to please a male. I also taught her how to find a good one and she choose you. So suck it up buttercup. You should be proud a product of the gods has come to you personally. Crazy mortal." He said to himself as he gets up and walks off as Dusk makes the connections to his ramblings.

"Wait, I though some gods of death had children." Dusk says confused.

Anubis frowns back to him. "Not me."

Dusk blinks. "But…"

"There are some things you can't control." Anubis said going over to one of the mares and whispers in her ear and makes her blush as she quickly looks to his smirking face before nodding and she gets up and follows him.

"Geez, talk about loose." Dusk says as Sentire climbs onto his back.

Sentire sighs as she hugs him. "So…how did it go?"

"I will allow you to sleep in the same hammick." Dusk grunts.

Sentire smiles and hugs him a bit tighter. "I won't do anything you don't want me to do. Just ask and I shall see that you are happy with me." Sentire said softly as Arkon passes out earmuffs to everyone.

"We won't do that. We will just sleep in the same hammick, nothing else." Dusk says.

Sentire giggles. "I know. Now can we go to bed. It's going to be a bit loud tonight."

"Why?" Dusk asks innocently.

Sentire blushes a bit. "Anubis tends to be enthusiastic in his sessions and um…don't be surprised if you see more than one of him if you go for a walk."

"Huh?" Dusk asks innocently again making Sentire find it a little endearing.

Sentire grins and grabs his arm and grabs two earmuffs before bringing them to their tent and pulls them inside. "Just relax." She said putting the earmuffs on him.

"I still do not understand." Dusk says.

Arkon hums as he takes a short walk around the temple a bit away from where they were camped and looks at the many carvings and signs. "Daring would love this." He said to himself as he runs a hand along the walls before seeing a small chamber in a run off hallway and peeks in to become wide eyed at the sight.

"Oh." Anubis said seeing Arkon as what seems to be copies of him are around a table. "Hello there. Didn't expect anyone to be up." He said walking over as a loincloth appeared around his waist and chuckles at some of the moans and some fluids splattering around coming from inside the chamber. "Sorry about that. She couldn't stop and I have to oblige."

Arkon says nothing and walks away like he had saw nothing.

Anubis chuckles as he catches up. "Wait up now. Sentire told me you were trapped in time. How long was it?"

"Longer then when lord Artemis was sealed in the moon by his jealous brother." Arkon says.

Anubis hums. "Strange, I thought Artemis would be the first. Oh well, tyke hasn't learned his lesson yet. It would be funny if I went over and gave his backside a good old style spanking. Set him straight…but I won't. Too old now and he won't listen as of now. Considering that you are back, he might be working on bringing his order back to life."

"He has charge me with starting that and his brother will not interfere or the entire world learns he massacred all who had any faith in religion because he was jealous of his brother's order success." Arkon informs.

Anubis smiles. "Well your life is going well. I must say, for both you and Sentire, mortals of old, it is quite a great treat you are back in your life of what you were supposed to have. Especially Sentire, we molded her into what we wanted, but that's because she has never spent life with your kind. If it were different, she might have left long ago and you wouldn't have ever come out do the time stasies."

"True…tell me the truth, you have an idea of the cause, don't you?" Arkon asks.

Anubis stops and nods. "Yes, Poseidon stopped something and I'm thinking it didn't go down without a price. In our world, everything is a price. Even a battle that has no bet or ending. I'm working on finding the wall painting of it and see if it's here to give a small direction and work from there. For now, I'm going to enjoy that I met Sentire again and seeing she is happy with those stallions, expect you of course, and…some supple flesh." He said grinning at the end.

"Your kind, the deities, are not sharing something with us mortals aren't you?" Arkon asks.

Anubis frowns now. "We have rules priest. And some of them is to not tell everything to mortal kind. Doing so will knock the world out of balance."

"Is it for the world or our sake?" Arkon asks and Anubis goes silent.

Anubis sighs. "Mortal, it is best you do not know the answer. Now then, I suggest you go back to your future mates and get some rest. As for me…" He then smirks and his loincloth disappeared and walks back to the chamber. "Stay warm."

Arkon says nothing and walks back to his tent.

Daring moans and opens her eyes to see Aaron walking back in. "Hey. Where did you go?" She asks quietly.

"For a walk." Arkon says rubbing her mane since she wasn't wearing her hat.

Daring moans in happiness as he lays down and she leans into the petting. "That's nice."

"Got room for another?" Arkon asks.

Daring nods and moves over a bit to let him lay down there and she leans her head on his chest. "So you find anything interesting on your walk?"

"Blocking it from memory." Arkon says rubbing her back.

Daring was confused for a bit and looks to him. "What?"

"Like I said." Arkon says before kissing Daring, surprising her.

Daring eeps before slowly falling into it and hugs him tight and kisses him back before pulling away a little. "Wow. That was good. You sure are learning."

Arkon says nothing and just holds her as he goes to sleep.

Daring smiles and puts her head on his chest as she goes back to sleep with him.

"So…what's the plan?" A researcher asks as they all gathered for breakfast and Anubis was cleaning the mare he took with him last night behind a curtain.

"Well we narrowed it down to a few statues, but we will have to inspect each one." Daring says.

Anubis perks his ears their way as he kept cleaning. "Try to make sure it doesn't have pyrate. We all hated that fake gold." He calls.

"And him?" A researcher asks.

"Anubis, the egyptian god of the dead. Apparently Poseidon is a real deity and the others are looking for him." Daring informs.

Anubis chuckles. "After being missing for a thousand years, we have to and I'm the lead investigator. Do you have any outfits for that occupation?" He asks curious.

"Oh, oh, I have plenty. Maybe the japanese investigator trenchcoat." Berry says.

Anubis hums. "I was thinking more like the novel but yours works too."

"Which one?" Berry says holding up twelve.

Anubis smiles as he looks through it while the mare covers herself up a bit. "This one. Looks good with my color." He said picking out a red one and putting it and making a pose. "What do you think? Hot or not?"

"You're on fire!" Berry cheers.

Anubis chuckles. "I know, even though I am cold body for most."

"I wouldn't say that and I like you better with a loincloth." The mare said as Anubis shooed Berry away and went back to cleaning her.

Anubis chuckles slyly. "Oh shush and enjoy this." He said smirking.

"No, each statue is on different ends of the temple so prepare for a lot of walking." Daring says.

Most of the groans at the prospect of all that walking. "And it's still a maze since someone was grabbing us." Vinyl said glaring at Anubis who was trying to look innocent.

"That area was a decoy. We have to go into the entrance temple. We were doubly faked out by those clever Greeks." Dusk says.

Anubis smiles as he starts to dry the mare. "Sentire, could come over here for a bit?"

"Yes?" Sentire says walking over.

Anubis leans over and whispers in her ear and takes her hand before a light shines a bit between it and he pushes her lightly away. "Now go help them." He said giving the mare her clothes and he walks away to have some food and let her dress.

Sentire walks back to the group as they finished eating.

"Alright, so which one do we start on?" Rainbow asks.

"We will start on the closest and work from there." Daring says.

Rainbow sips away the last of the broth. "Let's get this done."

Sentire smiles at Anubis. "What about you?"

Anubis smiles to her as he chews on the meat. "I still need to do my own work and that might take a while. You do your own work. I may catch up to you soon. And maybe…" He chuckles a bit deeply. "Spend some time with this beautiful piece of gold." He said looking to the mare walking over to get her meal.

"Just be ready for her to move to Egypt and follow you." Arkon says making Anubis roar in laughter.

Anubis tries to calm down. "There is a reason I couldn't take Sentire with me that well. My world is forbidden from mortals because one step and you're a soul…ready to be eaten by me. Kinda of a wrong fetish, but not judging. Anycase, I'm just letting her experience the biggest night and some ideas for her future mate."

"You might have enslaved her to your cock though." Berry says.

Anubis smirks. "Yes, Sentire did want more stallions for a reason and this one might as well." He said scratching behind the mare's ear and making her tap her hoof on the ground like a dog. "Though, I don't want to do that. And for good reason. My life is a dangerous one. I can't bring mortals all that much with me. If I take her, she might become a soul and never return to her body. She has to make her own life. Like Sentire." He said stopping and making her whine at the loss.

"Just don't tell her how to get there." Rainbow says as Anubis watches her flank for a second.

Anubis hums as he kept staring at the mare's flank before looking to Rainbow. "I'm sorry. What?" He asks grinning a bit.

"Off limits." Arkon says.

Anubis grins as he holds up his hands in surrender. "Easy. I know when a mare is taken. Though mine here…" He said leaning down to her and grinning to her face. "Also, from what I can see here, you two do focus on your fank really good." Anubis advises.

Rainbow and the mare blushes hard as Rainbow glared at him while the mare giggles a bit.

Dusk shakes his head. "Why are we having this conversation again?"

Anubis grins and gives the mare a black scarab. "Keep this so I can find you. You are now my favourite mare." He said before standing up and takes a ready bowl and walks away back into the halls.

Arkon rubs his temples as the researchers start to walk into the entrance temple.

Daring shakes her head a bit. "You know, he is sort of a jerk when you think about it." She said thinking on it.

"He has to be. He weighs souls for the egyptian afterlife." Arkon says.

Sentire nods as she checks over the mare for after effects. "He has also been summoned by novice summoners too so he needs to be mean to them to make them get rid of him faster." She said as she hangs the scarab from the mare's ear.

"They also must do a ritual to make up for the lack of power." Arkon says.

Sentire nods as she steps up and walks by him. "And even then, a sacrifice must be made so really…they killed themselves off."

"What about those who capture offers to sacrifice them?" Arkon asks.

Sentire waves him off. "Oh, that. Anubis told me he killed them off once he knew how they got the sacrifice. Contrary to popular belief, the seals don't actually hold gods."

"Only a fool would think that or one too blinded by arrogance." Arkon says.

Sentire looks to him. "He told me. How else would he get certain souls?"

"So what did he mean by focus on your flank anyways?" Arkon whispers into Rainbow's ear.

Rainbow growls a bit as she blushes and backs a bit so she was leaning on him. "My flank is a bit bigger than the others. He was referring, I think, focus and have fun with the biggest parts of us."

"I don't get it." Arkon says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and grabs his hand before placing it on her flank. "Just focus on this."

"You girls may have to help me through it. Remember, I…" Arkon started whispering into Rainbow's ear, reminding her he was never taught that subject.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. "Right. Well then…we can see what we can do. For now…just…" She started whispering what he can do with her flank into his ear.

"Like this?" Arkon asks following her instructions and squeezes it.

Rainbow gulps. "Yeah." She said nodding nervously.

Arkon wraps his robe around her and keeps squeezing her flank once in a while, making her smile.

Sentire watches them before looking to Dusk curiously. "Don't even start." Dusk said crossing his arms. "I'm just allowing us to sleep in the same bed, but nothing farther, got it?"

Sentire nods. "So how far?"

"We will proceed at a pace I feel comfortable with." Dusk says.

"Look at all the jealousness." Berry says looking at Spitfire.

Spitfire growls as she watches Rainbow and Arkon have some time together. "I want that." She mutters to herself.

"Then get in there. He has two hands." Berry says pushing her forward.

Spitfire was a bit surprised as she went up beside Arkon and he looks to her. "You too?" He asks and she nods before he wraps his robe around her as well and starts sneezing her flank and making her blush now as she leans close.

"We are going to have to give lessons." Rainbow says.

Spitfire nods as she just relaxes against him. "Yep. Good start, but needs a bit more work."

"Like twisting nipples." Vinyl says still not over what Spitfire did to her.

Spitfire grins to her. "You loved it."

"Oh not as much as when I get him to do…" Vinyl says before starting to whisper into Spitfire's ear making her blush and turning her on.

Arkon looks to Spitfire as he feels the heat coming off of her. "Are you well? Do you have a fever?"

"You ever heard of in heat?" Spitfire asks.

Arkon nods. "I did. The elders warned me to stay away from mares that are in this transition as they can be…what's the word that can translate into your tongue?"

"Sexually active?" Vinyl asks smirking.

Arkon nods. "That's one and they would try and go after the nearest male to sate their heat. Sentire's father, now that I think about it, was right in his choice to send her to Anubis."

"Arkon, I think you're missing the point." Vinyl says.

Arkon scratches his head. "I don't know about that. Why? What am I missing?"

"Vinyl's words and your attention down there are putting me in a heat like state." Spitfire whispers to him.

Arkon's goes wide eyed and looks at her and quickly backs his hand away. "Um…sorry…um…"

Spitfire smiles and wraps her tail around his and her wing around him.

Arkon blinks confused. "But…?"

"I don't mind for my husband to be." Spitfire says smiling, upsetting Vinyl more.

Arkon keeps staring before smiling a bit. "Okay." He said wrapping an arm around her again.

Spitfire, feeling this, stick her tongue out at Vinyl, imitating her.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and steps away from them before grabbing Vinyl and pushes her into her old spot. "Go nuts." She said heading up to Daring.

"You sneaky mare." Octavia says.

Rainbow grins. "Have to be for them."

"Oh that will be fun." Octavia says.

Daring rolls her eyes as she tries to concentrate on finding the way. "This is the most accurate mapping you can get?"

"No, it's the one they mapped." Berry says.

Daring huffs. "Great. Looks like it's the old string trick to get around the unmapped."

"Just stay close. We don't want to lose you." Arkon says.

Daring smiles until Spitfire spoke up. "Just tie a string to Arkon here."

"Do I need to summon my familiar again?" Arkon asks.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "Oh? Which one?"

"Spider." Arkon says making them all shiver at the thought.

Daring gulps. "Um…I'll live with a long piece of rope."

"I see." Arkon says.

Daring sighs and grabs a nearby roll of rope. "Here." She said throwing one end to him. "Tie it around yourself."

"Spitfire, help with this." Vinyl says seeing the chance to get her off of him.

Spitfire frowns and huffs before moving away and starts working on tying the rope to Arkon.

"You done over there?" Dusk asks.

Vinyl grins and throws the slack to Daring and she heads ahead of everyone to try and find the way. "Now I am."

"Vinyl can be random can't she?" Arkon asks.

Vinyl giggles as she grins. "Oh yeah."

"Oh, that reminds me. Vinyl, a letter from mom and dad." Octavia says smirking.

Vinyl rushes over and grabs it. "Cool." She said on ending it and read it. "Oh…they are coming to our wedding."

"And they expect you to wear a dress to your wedding young lady." Octavia says smirking as she reads the p.s. addressed to Vinyl.

Vinyl screams a bit like a little filly. "No!"

"It's happening Vinyl. Get over it." Octavia says.

"Never!" Vinyl declares as she points at her.

"Even for me?" Arkon asks.

Vinyl calms down and looks at him. "Oh you, not really. Anything you want me to wear, ask me."

"Vinyl, for the wedding." Arkon asks wrapping her in a hug.

Vinyl grins. "Sure. How showing?"

"A wedding dress." Arkon says.

Vinyl leans against him. "There's a few types out there. Hidden, normal, and…sexy." She said slyly.

"Let's go with tradition ok?" Arkon asks petting her mane.

Vinyl pouts cutely as she just tries to enjoy the petting.

"He's got you Vinyl. Give in." Octavia says smirking.

Vinyl groans.

"I did as you asked Octavia." Arkon says holding Vinyl.

Vinyl looks shocked at then. "What?!"

"Know that you agreed Vinyl. You can change your mind later." Octavia says smirking as Arkon kept holding her.

Vinyl grumbles at her.

"Are they always like this?" Sentire asks leaning over.

Berry nods as he takes out a list. "Yes, in fact, this is daily. Like before you guys came along, they argued on who gets to go to which concert and who watches the house, which one brings the equipment, oh, and a few minutes after that, they argue who gets the milk."

"I see. So this is having a sibling." Sentire says.

Berry bids. "Yeppers. You should see my family one day. You will have so much fun with my sisters."

Sentire looks to him a bit excited. "Sister?"

"With my older sister Maud." Berry says after a buzzer sound is heard in his mane.

Sentire blinks. "Who's that?"

"What are you talking about?" Berry asks.

Sentire digs around in his mane. "The buzzer."

"There is no buzzer." Berry says as Sentire finds no buzzer but found a clock.

Sentire hums as she looks it over. "Wow. What's this for?"

"That is my baking clock." Berry says.

Sentire blinks confused. "But you aren't cooking."

"Don't mean I don't keep it with me." Berry says before a small alligator head pokes out of his mane.

Sentire gasps and smiles. "It's cute. What's the name?"

"Gummy." Berry says as Gummy tries to bite her but he has no teeth.

Sentire giggles as she sticks out her finger and Gummy starts biting and it tickles her. "He's so cute."

"Alligator!" Anubis calls glaring at it.

Gummy blinks and licks his eye at him as he stares blankly ahead.

"What is wrong with him?" Berry asks.

Sentire sighs. "Anubis has a thing against alligators. Even cute ones."

"Does it have to do with the heart eating alligator?" Daring asks.

"That bastard steals my kills!" Anubis cries out and the mare pats his back in reassurance.

"Isn't it a female?" Daring asks.

Anubis huffs. "Bitch." He said wrapping an arm around the mare and starting to grope her breast, making her moan.
