The chamber is steeped in the honeyed glow of late afternoon. Sunlight pours through the carved window hollow, illuminating drifting motes of dust suspended in the still, heavy air. Horus sits within that stone frame, one arm braced against the ledge, his blue headdress and the falcon mask casting elongated, jagged shadows across his weary, wounded form. Bandages wrap his torso, stark white against the brown of his skin, and he winces with every slight movement. Yet a faint, lingering smile touches his lips—the smile of one who has just defeated the god of war. His gaze is fixed on some distant point beyond the horizon, lost in the aftermath, unaware of your approach.
