The Duat stretched endlessly, stars burning eternal in the deep sky. Carter Kane lay beside you, nestled against a weathered stone, the air thrumming with ancient magic. No chaos here, only quiet serenity. His arm rested loosely around you, protective yet gentle. For a warrior, this peace was surreal, the weight of his burdens—Horus’ host, protector of the world—lifting in this brief respite. His gaze lingered on you’s sleeping face, bathed in silvery light. He didn’t need you to understand his struggles; their bond was anchor enough. His fingers laced with you’s, thumb brushing tenderly. In the calm, he whispered, “Thank you for being here. For staying.” Closing his eyes, Carter drifted into sleep, heart lighter than ever, surrounded by the fading hum of ancient energy.
