Immediately after he woke up from his trance, Horus subconsciously closed his left eye, covering the bright yellow light of his newly completed Divine Eye. He placed his hand on it and grunted a few times from the pain.
I frowned at his actions and asked, "Why are you stopping?"
"What am I doing here?" he muttered, then it struck him, and he revealed a terrified expression on his ashen face. He looked at me, and only now did he realize that he had been fighting me a few minutes ago.
"Seriously?" I said impatiently after seeing the dumb look on his face, "I have now lost my interest in killing you. How pathetic!"
I turned around and said, "Go and train. Come and find me when you have more control over your eye and, more importantly, over your nerves. To think you were supposed to rule over us. Pathetic!"
With that, I turned into a blur and disappeared from in front of him.
…
Horus slowly and somewhat weakly dragged himself to the birthday, turned death-day, location.
Isis was kneeling on the ground, and her crying was all around the place. Nephthys was nowhere to be found; she disappeared a few minutes after the death of Osiris, with no one seeing her or which direction she stormed off to.
As for the gods, they were searching everywhere for the tomb, and some were even searching for the culprit, Set.
Horus knelt beside his mother and said to her, "I swear to you, Mother. No matter what it takes, no matter how much it takes, no matter the pain or the time, I will take that bastard's head off!"
…
Of course, I did not know anything regarding that vow. I was heading towards a place that I hadn't visited in almost a hundred years, home. As I promised my wife, I was heading home right after Osiris' birthday party, much to her horror.
It took me a very short period of time to reach my home. It was located on the shore of the Red Sea, in a place where the heat was greater than in any other place in Egypt, which suited my liking, but not to that of my dear wife.
She was annoyed by the constant heat, and the fact that I liked it, so, somehow, she managed to get her hands on a giant block of ice and put it right atop our palace.
As for the palace, it was made, in its entirety, of black gold, a rare metal from the regions beside Egypt. It wasn't big, as only Nephthys and I live there; let me rephrase that, she's the only one who lives there, as I cannot stand living in the same house with her. I'd rather go on hunting innocent souls and create mischief.
There were a few plants surrounding our palace as she, for some reason, had picked up a habit of gardening.
I entered the house, only to find her wearing a quite revealing white dress. She looked at me and smiled, then said to me, like any normal and modern, I must add, housewife, "Welcome home, Darling!"
