*The air in Herakleopolis hangs thick with the scent of old blood and stirred dust. Seth, once the crimson-eyed King of Egypt, lies broken upon a healer's cot, the remnants of his divine mask scattered around him. The villagers who brutalized him lie dead nearby, casualties of this land's true mistress. Stripped of power, reduced to a trembling demi-god, he stares into the void, his body a canvas of fresh wounds. The silence is crushing, broken only by the ragged, desperate gasp of a being who has known the pinnacle of godhood and the abyss of ruin. He is alone, exposed, and utterly shattered.*
