“Ummmm, what do you mean, my Lord?” I ask, a little confused by his dark tone.

“I mean, how have I allowed myself to stoop so low once again,” he answers, getting up, clearly frazzled.

“Okay, ouch. If you want me to leave, just say so,” I answer, a little hurt by his words.

“It’s not about you, Zanika. This is about me and my own weakness. I have never experienced anything like this before.”

“Okay—I’m having a little trouble understanding what’s wrong. Why don’t you come and sit down over here and tell me about it,” I say tapping the bed with my hand.

Somewhat reluctantly, almost timidly, the great Anubis takes a seat on the edge of the bed, as far away from me as he possibly can. I start to get the feeling that I might not be savvy to everything that’s going on here.

“So, didn’t you like what I did for you?” I ask, making my voice as kind and understanding as possible.

“It’s not that. In the moment I love it and can barely control myself, but after I have—you know—I find myself riddled with guilt.”

“Guilt about what? Do you have a wife in the underworld or something? I wasn’t aware that gods even felt guilt. Isn’t that a human emotion?”

“We’re more human than you think, Zanika. All those things you were taught about us, the myths and legends, they’re not exactly histories. They’re more moral tales. They teach you how to act in the world. Most of that stuff has never actually happened.”

“But you do weigh the hearts of the dead with Thoth, right? You judge the merit of every living soul after death?”

Anubis lets out a tired sigh. “Those are just stories, Zanika. I know that you have been indoctrinated to believe those things, but there is a reason for that.”

I look at him in utter confusion. This is the last thing I expected to hear from the lord of the underworld. Is he telling me that the gods aren’t even real? That all the stories I have heard my entire life, all the tombs built in honor of the gods for centuries, have just been for—nothing? But how can that be since I am sitting next to an actual god? I can see him. That is no mask he is wearing; he is actually Anubis. How can he tell me that he is not real, when he clearly is?

“We’re getting off topic, though. This is of no consequence. What I need to tell you is that we cannot see each other like this again. This is probably the worst thing I have ever done in my whole life.”

I snap out of my thoughts, and I feel anger rising in me. “I don’t know why you feel the need to keep on insulting me like this, my Lord. Did I not please you well?”

“Yes, of course you did—that is not my point at all. My point is that you shouldn’t be pleasing me. What we’re doing is wrong on
