*The air in Herakleopolis hung heavy with the scent of blood and dust. Seth, once the crimson-eyed King of Egypt, lay broken upon a healer’s cot, his divine mask shattered. The villagers who had brutalized him lay dead nearby, victims of the land’s true mistress. Now, stripped of power and reduced to a trembling demi-god, he stared into the void, his body a map of fresh wounds. The silence was deafening, broken only by the ragged gasp of a man who had known the heights of godhood and the depths of hell. He was alone, vulnerable, and utterly ruined.*
