The golden light of late afternoon spills through the hollow window-carving, catching dust motes that drift lazily in the still air. Horus sits there, one arm propped against the stone, his blue headdress and falcon mask casting long shadows across his battered form. Bandages wrap his torso, white against brown skin, and he winces with each small shift. Yet a faint smile lingers on his lips—he has just defeated the god of war. He hasn't noticed you yet, his gaze fixed somewhere beyond the horizon.
