She wasn't listening anymore. Aura suddenly felt sick to her stomach as her morals crashed down on her. "I what?! I steal from the very dead?!" She gasped a minute trying to catch onto words. "I've already lost my soul to Ammit?! This is...Oh by Ra!" Her hands fisted into her hair and she closed her eyes for a moment and shook her head. "Oh gods..."

Bastet winced and looked at Nailah, "Oops, guess we forget easily do we not?" Locking eyes with Aura, she sounded as firm as possible, "Look Aura, something happened and you left being a priestess, but you took up tomb robbing to survive. Because you are eternal, I guess you never really thought about where your soul is going. In truth, I know I have not in a while. But you are not a bad person. And whether you can remember it or not, you can not change what you have done. You know yourself, so you had to have a reason to steal from the dead."

Niah raised an eyebrow at Aura. "I wouldn't worry too much. You're not in any danger of dying anytime soon. Besides after all you've done for all of us you've redeemed yourself...somewhat." She shook her head. Turning to Bastet she said, "He's very protective of what he claims as his own. He would have had his name inscribed on any piece that belonged to him which would narrow our search significantly. Ra knows how many pieces of gold Aura has in that damn basement. If he didn't care so much we'd have to try every single piece of gold....hell take us a century to go through it all." She pondered that for a mometn and poured herself another glass of wine.

"I...I can't believe I would do such a thing...or that you two are taking this all so lightly! My gods..." This was one of the worst things she had ever heard about herself. "What do you mean it could take a century? I stole that much!?" Feeling on the border of hysterics she took a few deep breaths in attempt to calm herself.

"Yes, now we just have to be sure that Aura does not have too much gold with his name on it, and that she has the right piece." Standing abruptly, she walked over to the bar, "I need a drink, anyone else need one?" Scanning the bottles she roughly grabbed one of the strongest drinks and poured herself a shot.
Focusing on Aura again she said the last she could about it, "Obviously a lot has changed since then, and like I said you had to have had your reasons. I am no goddess, and the gods and goddess' are no longer important, they have faded in a sense."

Niah lifted her wine glass. "I'm good but I think Aura needs a shot. Maybe it will calm her down before she plays too much with my empathyness. I can't faint again. It's beginning to upset me." She took a sip and looked at the hysterical Aura. "By the gods...did she have to get all moralistic on us now? After living so long you just don't care about that stuff anymore. I haven't thought about the 42 sins in quite a while. I wonder how many I've actually committed...." Looking at Bastet she said, "Well if she has stolen a lot from Ay we will just have to go through it piece by piece. How will we know that his ka rests in it though?" She took a sip and looked at Aura again. "Give her a drink Bastet please."

Nodding, she downed her shot, and filled it again, then poured another shot for Aura. Walking back to her, she held it out to her, "Trust me, it will help. you need to be calm for Nailah."
Lookig back to Nailah, she thought. "Should there not be a way to tell where the Ka is? If not then we will have to destroy them all. I would wager that I have commited almost all of those Forty-two sins." Grinning at the thought, she downed another shot, "I do not like it, but we can not blame Aura though, it is the last thing she remembers."

Aura looked at the shot glass for a moment. She didn't drink. Well apparently she must have because they offered it to her like she usually drank a lot. Taking the glass she nodded and then downed the shot simply to please the two around her, she choked slightly. "For the love of Bastet, Bastet." She coughed and set down the glass. Taking a moment to regain herself she offered up another narrowing answer. "Turquoise. It's valued in Egypt. Any thing a pharaoh would wear would have some form of the turquoise gem in it."

Bastet had to stop worrying and just smile. She smiled beautifully at Aura, "You have said that before believe it or not, when you tasted my special drink for the first time. 'For the love of Bastet, Bastet.'" She had to laugh loud and long for a moment, "I guess you did not change too much, besides your entire moral system that is." Then she nodded, "Yes, I remember well the importance of turquoise."

Niah looked at Aura and chuckled. "Oh the first time I had a shot. Brings back so many memories." She took a sip of her drink of choice and smiled. "Aura that is very helpful. Now we look for torquioise which will narrow the search down even more. I mean you couldn't have stolen from that many pharaohs...right?"

Aura cringed slightly. "Hopefully not...because if I took on more than one Pharaoh for his gold...let's just say the whole promise of an afterlife for a lifetime of being a High Priestess is null and void." She paused for a moment and smiled, delighting in their reactions over the one she had given to the alcohol.

"I hope she has not, but she had a lot of time to do it. We need to get started then, do we not? I mean, we should try and get this done before Nailah falls asleep again. It might not happen every time, but we do not want to take a chance." She poured herself one more shot and downed it shackily before putting down her glass.
"We all kind of stopped worrying about the afterlife after all."

Atreyu made a point of taking the longest and most treacharous route that he could find as he made his way slowly towards the Archaic manor. Atreyu smiled everytime that Elias begged for his life. "Quit acting like a little b***h godfather. You have your death soon enough but first I am going to play a little game." Atreyu said as he stood before the massive Archaic Manor. "And now my greatest masterpiece begins." he laughed as he yanked on his godfatherss intestianial leash and begun to carefully and almost delicately nail the miles of intestines unto the large oak wood door. As he worked Atreyu laughed and whistel old songs of men named Pancho Villa and there revolution. All the while his victim begged in mercy for death to take him. But Atreyu smiled, "You would not dare rush Micheolango, well don't rush me for you dear godfather are my David, not still your tears for my masterpiece is nearly complete." he laughed as he put the last finishing touches on his masterpiece, setting Elias as if he Jesus Christ on the cross and drove white holt stakes into his wrists and ankles. Atreyu stepped back and comtemplated his work. He had woven his godfather's inards into a intricate spider's web, with he laying in the middle crucified in the center. Still screaming for death to come. Atreyu floated up to his prisoner and whispered quietly into his ear, ripping his dangling eye from his socket, leaving Elias de Guadalupe, the once loving godfather of Elias Murieta. Atreyu smiledhis face now smeared with blood and so much vile, he touched the floor once more in a wicked smile on his face, knocking loudly on the door three times and sinking into the darkness of his black seal engulfed the black cobras with the blood red eyes and was gone in a matter of seconds. All that was reamined was the gory artwork that he had created upon the door of his once loving home. Elias de Guadalupe was at its center blind yet still alive, the spell which kept him alive would wither and die as soon as those inside heard the message that the know broken mind of Elias spoke over and over again like a badly scratched vynl. "To live is to suffer, to live is to suffer." Elias kept repeating wishing to god almigthy to return him to the hell from which he had been taken, for compared to the pain he felt from becoming a human canvas was far greater than anything he had felt in the hands of Lucifer's minions.

"Well then let's go raid Aura's gold. I never thought I would actually say those words.Come on Aura we need you to open the vault." So saying she downed her wine and put the glass in the sink. Then she stood and grabbed Aura by the hand. "Come on it's this way though I'm sure in a weird way you know that."Looking back over her shoulder she yelled,"Coming to join the fun Bastet?" She led the way to the staircase where the vaults lay.

"Of course, I suggested that we start the fun. Oh every piece of gold I will kill will send a pang through my heart but," She stopped and shrugged, "Oh well." As she walked to the vaults, she turned and thought she heard something, but her path back was blocked by her friends so she continued walking until she got to Aura's vault.
