*"A warm fire was the first thing I remember seeing, and an equally warm embrace the first sensation I felt."
*"Though raised in seclusion away from the world, I knew a few painful truths."
 	
*"One. That my mother, Aesys, cared for me with all her soul;"
 	
*"Two. That the death of my father, Osiris, pained her deeply;"
 	
*"And three. That the enemy of our divine kin, the God-King, was but the first spiral into the Chaos we so feared."
*"To protect me from the scrying magic of the fiend that slaughtered many of our own, I was given the name Harakhte."
*"In time, I came of age, and grew strong enough to spread my wings..."
 	
*Harakhte: Mother, please.
*Harakhte: We have watched them together for a decade and more.
 	
*Harakhte: How quickly Man forgets his crimes in the wake of his ill-gotten glory!
*Harakhte: They will never know I was there to begin with.
 	
*Aesys: My little sun. Do you understand what you are proposing?
*Aesys: If that wretched creature catches wind of you, surely...
*Aesys: ... ...
 	
*Harakhte: I tire of hiding from our enemies, Mother.
*Harakhte: Even now, I can feel that terrible pulse of Chaos.
 	
*Harakhte: But I'm not afraid. I will never be afraid of such evil.
*Harakhte: I promise you, I will not do anything rash. I only wish to have eyes on them.
*Harakhte: Only then can we find a weakness to strike at.
 	
*Aesys: ...Ever your father's son. I knew I could not keep you protected forever.
 	
*Aesys: All I ask for you is to be safe.
 	
*Harakhte: Don't worry, Mother. We will have justice for Father, and our kin.

*"And so, I became Mother's eyes and ears in the capital."
*"I beheld the encroaching desert just outside of the walls..."
*"...The immense, expanding divide between the rich and the poor..."
*"And the ever-present entourage behind the rowdy royal scions, who cared for naught but their own cruel joys."
*"Little did I know this time..."
*Harakhte peers into the distance, watching the troop disappear into a dark corner of an illicit bazaar.
 	
*Harakhte: Huh.
*Harakhte: They've never cared for leaving the comforts of the palace so far behind before.
 	
*Before Harakhte moves to follow, he catches the eye of a royal guard, whose cold gaze matched the steel he wore at his belt.
*Sharp-eyed Guard: Halt. Who are you, boy?
*Sharp-eyed Guard: What business have you with the royal scions?
 	
*Harakhte: Nothing, sir. I was simply curious.
 	
*Sharp-eyed Guard: Curious enough to scale a wall.
 	
*Harakhte: My only entertainment for lack of coin, sir.
 	
*The royal guard grunts and turns away, and Harakhte lets loose a quiet breath.
 	
*Harakhte: ('Twas fortunate I could veil my true nature from mortal sight...)
 	
*Harakhte: ?!
 	
*Sharp-eyed Guard: What?!

*Anemic Scion: *cough* Agh... Guards!
*Anemic Scion: Quickly, they've broken loose!
*Monster: GRROAAARR!
*Several beasts burst out of an alleyway as servants are knocked unconscious from a great swipe.
*The entourage of fawning courtiers scatters as the guards rush in to contain the panic.
 	
*Sharp-eyed Guard: Grr... I should have known...
 	
*Harakhte: (... ...)
*Harakhte: (I'll look into that later. For now, the monsters!)
