((Begin! ))
Alas, another day away from home.

Minae absolutely hated her yearly travels to every single office her company owned to do individual checks. It took almost a month out of her already full schedule and it was just a burden - regardless of how necessary it often was. The Erka Company had offices all over the world for different sub-sections, and she was at one of the insurance firms today. Coming out of the elevator and among the cubicles, black heels clicking along the tile as she strode along. Her long, mahogany hair was in a tight, large bun with a bright, shiny flower barrette of Swarovski crystals. Her button-up magenta top and black mini-skirt gave her a sort of secretary look, but her steely gaze and any man or woman who dare stare screamed of practically royalty as she walked herself to the regional manager's office. Her bag on her shoulder as she approached the door, she knocked. She may be short, but the CEO of this company is dead serious. She barely waited five seconds before letting herself in, and getting the meeting started.

She just wanted to get home to her son

Aaron had been busily working that day when a voice brought him out of his work. "Hey Aaron." His friend in the cubicle next to his said "What is it Mark?" He asked a little annoyed. "Well me, Linda, and Chuck are going out for lunch you wanna come?"

"Sure." He replied but before he could even get up and away from his desk his phone went off the ringtone was a fit of evil laughter which meant it was either his mother or his father, he picked it up "Hello?" He asked, the voice on the other line was urgent and brief, and his mother. "We got a hit in Thailand, Dionysus' mask is there. Tell your boss that we will slip a couple million into his account and a trip to the Bahamas." "Alright." Was all he said before hanging up "I gotta take a rain check on lunch Mark." He said, Mark nodded "Just remember, on the 12th you got a blind date with my wife's sister." He yelled after the already sprinting Aaron who just threw him a thumbs up.

When he got to his bosses office, there was someone in there someone he didn't recognize, her and his boss were talking and it didn't look like it would be brief so he sent an email to his boss from his phone and walked to the elevators.

Today is like any other day.

Anubis stood on an apartment building twenty stories up, watching the sun rise. He stood contemplating the inevitable, he would die someday, and his name will live on, it didn't matter right now so he slipped it to the back of his mind to think about it for another time, he looked down at the many stories below. He took a deep breath and stepped off the roof. As he felled people pointed and yelled, he closed his eyes and sand from all eight of the gourds slipped under his feet, creating a platform for him to fly on. He started to fly forward, looking for anything out of the ordinary in his city.

As he flew he saw some police officers having a firefight, with some hooded individuals. Anubis' platform of sand stopped and he fell through, landing on one of the opposing men's shoulders, a satisfying crackle and scream came from him as he shoulders broke and man was crushed under Anubis' weight, he jumped off of the man, the sand racing to form a long light brown staff with a per ankh on the head, The men turned their guns on Anubis, "get him!" one shouted, A long shot of cloth shot out from Anubis' sleeve and wrapped around the man's legs, pulling it the man fell, hitting the back of his head on the car he was using as cover, his head turned to a man beside him, Anubis ducked, just missing the man's bullet, he swiped his staff into the mans side, causing him to lean the Jackal masked man then delivered a quick kick the face, the man fell as he turned to another man who looked in shock as his friends were brought down so easily, he put his hands up "I give up!" he shouted and he threw his gun to the ground Anubis scoffed and pointed a finger at the man, "you don't have the privilege to give up", his staff turned into a narrow spear and shot into the mans chest "your heart will be eaten and lost". The sand settled and slithered back into it's urns. He turned to the man who cried on the ground, his shoulders shattered he wouldn't survive the night. Anubis then rose, police calling in his description, calling for him to stop. Anubis just floated away on his sand platform. Today would be a day like any other day.

As Minae continued her conversation, she saw the man look to his phone for a moment.

"What might be so important that you look at your phone?" She asked, her tone surprisingly ice-like

He explained that it was just an employee telling him some important information. "And will you tell me what that is?" She practically demanded, and he explained- bumbling along that it was about an employees upcoming retirement party. She knew he was lying to her face, but decided against saying anything. He was good at his job and so long as what he was doing was not interrupting productivity or stealing funds, she was okay with it. She asked him about a large variety of topics and when she was done, it was already over an hour she'd been there. Sighing deeply, she thanked him for his time, and left the office
