The group walked slowly towards Osiris's reception room. He wanted to observe Marco's attitude and level of patience with this little detour they are currently on.
Any normal god would be annoyed that they had to even walk towards a destination. While Marco only wore a casual smile, he silently appreciated the infrastructure, the people going about their day and the culture.
The mere idea of the man being a god seems foreign to Osiris, normally the species known as gods were walking masses of ego.
These beings believe themselves superior to everyone and everything the mere slight at them could result in the equivalent of a capital crime.
As if he were the contradiction of the species known as gods, Marco is willingly accompanying Osiris on this scenic walk.
They both knew that they were being sized up by the other party.
In moments like these, the one to break their masks would typically tend to be the loser. This is common sense of gods old to young, but Marco truly did not care about this little game.
He found the walk interesting, thus he is continuing this walk, his wife seems to be relaxing by playing with Aphrodite, too is another reason.
The walk through a test is extremely beneficial to Marco, thus he still strolls the palace with Osiris in the lead.
Osiris could ponder a guess in this department too as he could hear his dragon chatting with the two.
She even went as far as to take her humanoid form to converse more easily.
Deciding that enough was enough as Osiris turned the corner and spoke. "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
The language used is a long-lost variant of Ancient Egyptian that was spoken, as nothing seems to happen, and the group became cautious as they walked down the path led by Osiris.
Only Laculi could see the changes in the atmosphere after Osiris spoke those words.
As if the world is flickering, the warmly lit path that shows the people of Osiris going about their day slowly shifted to a darker path.
Walls with ancient tapestry now decorated the path, ancient history and knowledge etched within each piece, a myriad of knowledge to be deciphered.
The path lit with sickly green flames, with the ceiling seeming as if it were miles away, stretching into a pitch-dark abyss.
This path now led to a singular door, one made of gold and precious materials. Even with the sickly green light, the glow of this ancient door screamed royalty. A perfect display of economic power.
Seeing the door, the small smile on Marco's face grew wider, he clearly wanted to take the door.
After all, they were here for a negotiation, not a heist.
Though the passage seems far but within a few steps they reach the door. The guards before the majestic door bowed in respect and they opened the reception room for their king.
Upon opening, a bright light engulfed the group and they appeared inside a luxuriously decorated room, it's walls were decorated with artworks. Against the corners stood statues of ancient beasts that were defeated by his people.
In the middle stood a luxurious set of sofa's that can perfectly seat the number of guests present in the room currently.
