**A day before...**
(Ancient Egypt)
(Sun City, Sun God Ra's abode)
"Of course, Shu… I want victory over Aposis at all costs. But I do not agree with the conveyance of consciousness, as I am not comfortable with the idea. I think we better stick to plan A, which is performing the earth ritual," Ra said, avoiding Shu's blue orbs to prevent eye contact—because that was the only way Shu could read his mind, as a superior god. With other gods or mortals who didn't wield the will of mind veiling, all he needed to do was focus on their thoughts to hear them.
Shu knew his father was lying. But the big question was *why*. What was he hiding, and why from even him? Shu could understand if Ra didn't want to share it with other deities, but he was his son and closest god.
