The Serpent's Shadow

Think about this for a second. You and your sibling (brother if you're a girl and sister if you're a boy) lived seperately because your parents divorces many months ago. You finally meey with your siblings somewhere like a museum. Then you realize that you have many abilities that could help you and possibly help the others. Your dad finally finds your mon somewhere in Europe and they finally get back together. Don't get excited about this for long and think that the story's over...

...Because here's the catch, the moment your family reunites and goes back to where you met your sibling, something chaotic happens in that place and your parents get vaporized and they will never come back. How would you feel? You'd feel sad and angry about this, right? But then you succeed in getting revenge and here's what you find out from a friend.

THERE IS A CHANCE TO BRING YOUR MOM BACK. ("Sorry, the dad's dead for good")

So far, Carter and Sadie have gone throughout this scenario all the way from The Red Pyramid to The Serpent's Shadow, which I am reading right now. Carter and Sadie are now left with their uncle Amos, Zia (Fire magician and Carter's crush), Anubis (Sadie's Boyfriend and the God of Death), Thoth (The God of all Knowledge), Horus (The God of war and future king of Gods), Isis (The Goddess of life), Walt (a creationist and Sadie's crush), and the students of the First Nome.

The Khopesh Sheath represents Carter , which is a curved sword because Carter was born to fight in his later years to save the world and this weapon was his first choice when he was in combat. This was also the weapon that the Ancient Egyptian warriors used in combat, and this book is like The Heroes of Olympus series, except it has Egyptian gods instead.





Horus would be the same, except he was born as the God of war, just like Ares in Greek mythology. Carter could channel power and get more magic from Horus because he was a resource of magic to him and they both had almost everything in common. But what would represent him more is the ankh because it has the Symbol of Horus on it. Also, Carter's amulet had the same ankh as the picture, and he used it to call Horus or to channel his power. Horus was the strongest god in Ancient Egypt, and whenever enemies struck, the eye would protect the wearer and destroy those enemies, just like an extreme warrior would.

A shield would Represent Sadie because she was into both restoration and combat magic and her magic was normally used to block attacks from enemies or protect her friends from grave danger. Every time she and Carter were in battle. Sadie would summon force fields or other spells that were able to deflect any other spells back at the attacker. Also, she knows spells that were able to restore an area or a region back to its original form and to remove all signs of chaos in that area or region.





A Sycamore Tree would represent Isis because this is one of the symbols that were used to identify her back in Ancient Egypt. Also, Isis was the goddess of fertility, motherhood, and magic, which would ultimately make her the Goddess of Life. Her magic was mainly based around life, nature, creation, and hospitality. But she managed to bring in some chaos into her spells. One spell, which was Ma'at, a spell that brought back order to everything in the area of the caster, has the potential to kill or severely hurt the caster. This was what happened to Sadie every time she tried to use this spell or any other chaotic spells. 

These were just the prime characters that were in this book because the story is revolved around Carter and Sadie, and Horus and Isis were the ones that have brought them to this state and this book. To learn about these gods, Click HERE.

Why don't you think of some symbols that would fit these people and gods that I have mentioned? Don't worry, I'll symbolize and talk about them myself as well, I just won't be doing this now. Maybe Later.

Oh... Leave the symbolization stuff in the comments below if you think of any.
