It's easier to dislike and shun that which one does not understand.

*Having made her way to the Shrine of Dawn with the guidance of her falcon spirit Harakhte,
*the priestess Neferet finds the goddess Thoth waiting upon its weathered steps as a hooded woman.
 	
*Long had she pleaded in futility for the Architect Ptah to return, deaf to the pleas of his creations.
*Harnessing the power of his Thought, Ptah willed Urzyma into existence,
*and with Thoth, goddess of magic and scribes, bestowed upon mortals the secrets of the Word—heka.
 	
*But when the God-King raised his empire from the blood of gods, the Architect abandoned the world in disgust.
*The fate of god and mortal alike was no longer his concern, and the Scribe could only pray in silence at his shattered shrine.
 	
*The stalwart priestess, meanwhile, did not come this far to give up. There was far too much at stake.
*A Shard of a godling rested within her, and Thoth had found it a suitable conduit to call upon him once more—
 	
*for if a mortal had painted the world in sin, it was only natural that one of their kind be salvation.
*The appearance of a familiar face, however, had further complicated the gods' reunion.
 	
*In the guise of the Lady of Horizons, the Goddess of Trickery slinked into their midst, arousing their suspicions.
 	
*After all, as is befitting of the Deceiver, none but she was privy to her schemes.
 	
*The sickening revelation that one of their own had a hand in the God-King's ascension began to spread like a web of darkness between them.
*Worse, the sudden ambush of a vizier claiming to herald his great king's reign of chaos had made one thing clear—
*The God-King had returned, and he yearns more than ever to finish what he started.

*An age ago...
 	
*Set: ... ...
*Set: So it is to be, then.
 	
*The sleek, canine creature—a Sha—huffs quietly, squirming in Set's embrace.
 	
*Set: Oh, don't fret, my little darling.
*Set: They won't miss us. In fact, the less they see of us, the better.
 	
*Set: I do hate having bumbling fools in my way.
 	
*Slinking away came as easily as breathing to the Deceiver, and despite the hubbub surrounding the death of Osiris,
*Set still found herself unpursued outside her brother's lavish court, dipped in the twilight of a starry sky.

*A heated argument between the siblings had culminated first in fisticuffs, and escalated into violence.
*Before long, the pristine marble floor dripped with Osiris' ichor, pulsing black with tendrils of darkness.
 	
*His wife was the first to stumble upon this grisly scene, but Aesys wasted no time mending his mangled body.
 	
*All said, it was through sheer devotion and powerful magic that Osiris, formerly an immortal god,
*was able to manifest in the lordless netherworld Duat, and henceforth govern the Afterlife of Urzyma.
*After the debacle, Set was brought before the pantheon to be tried.
 	
*The Architect listened silently as the gods accused Set of various crimes, each more outlandish than the last...
 	
*...while the Deceiver herself simply maintained an impassioned face throughout the "hearing."
 	
*Thoth dutifully recorded the proceedings in its entirety, though not before she had argued in Set's favor.
*Several gods grumbled at the Scribe's stoic impartialness, but said no more.
 	
*At last, the hearing drew to a tense conclusion, and a common sentiment was expressed by those who were disappointed in the lack of punishment.
*"You should be glad the Architect did not order your immediate death, and that the Scribe deigned to speak for you."
*"But ah, what good will immortality do you, spent as it is in exile?"

*Set sniffs dismissively at the bitter memory, petting the sleek coat of her Sha.
 	
*Set: We don't answer to anyone, do we, my little darling?
*Set: Not even the Architect. Because he knows we're both guided by the same force...
 	
*Set: I hope you can find it in you to forgive me, Brother.
*Set: Perhaps not now, but someday.
*Set: You'll see...
