**[Name: Aya el sayed (Exposition) ]** **[ID: 2021/09977 ]** Once upon a time, Isis sat with her son, Horus, by the banks of the Nile, with the water gently falling. Horus, with his bright eyes full of curiosity, was eager to hear the story of his parents. Long before the land merged. There was a married couple the god of earth Geb and the god of sky Nut. The god of earth pictured as a man wearing the crown of the North and other times he wore the crown of the South of Egypt. Nut was his wife arched over the world with blue starred skin. IMG\_256![IMG\_256](media/image2.png) Geb Nut "Our story began long before the lands merged," Isis began with her soothing voice. "In those days, the god of war and hunting, Anhur, was in a competition with Geb, your grandfather. I remember that Anhur initiated a destructive war that affected life on Earth," Isis continued "What happened next, Mother?" Horus asked. "The battle was violent and long, so your grandfather had to escort thousands that could help to bring the war to an end he was worried about the people and the harmful effects the war had on the land," said Isis. "What happened in the war?" asked Horus with an excited voice. "When the final battle started, your grandfather summoned his powers and miracles to win the war and Anhur was weaker than Geb who was more powerful sorry son wait for a minute," said Isis. "The winner was your strong powerful grandfather," replied Isis happily. "I know it I knew that my grandfather was a hero," replied Horus cheerfully. IMG\_256![IMG\_256](media/image4.png) Isis Houras After Geb's victory, he was really happy. At the same time he knew that his first child Osiris was born. Geb returned to his home to see his lucky charm, Osiris, but unfortunately this lucky charm was born ill. Osiris was born with idiopathic juvenile Osteoporosis that causes weak and brittle bones. His parents gave all their attention to him because his illness. It was impossible for him to do anything. After one year Osiris was trying to take his first steps, but his illness made it harder as his parents saw how much he was struggling and their hands went out to him.One day, they were proud that their son wasn't giving up, but sad he was in pain and they thought their lucky charm would be able to perform miracles "Now let me tell you the birth story of your uncle Seth" continued Isis. "Okay I am all ears," replied Horus excitedly "After one month of calm and peace, there was a huge strong powerful storm from an unknown source," continued Isis In a more somber tone "Oh! What happened to the people?" asked Horus worriedly. "All people were confused and asked about the source of the storm. It destroyed some houses and farms whose owners were really evil and heartless. Geb was amazed that all these evil houses were destroyed by a storm had already been planning and He had put several plans before, but they failed," answered Isis. "I am really happy that people were fine," Horus felt relieved. "On the other hand, on the same day of this storm, Nut was giving birth to her second baby Seth. When Geb heard that his second son was born he felt that the baby Seth was a symbol of power. He felt that his son would give him ultimate power," continued Isis fearfully. Egyptian God Seth \| Egyptian gods, Ancient egypt art, Gods of egypt Seth As they both grew up, Gep and Nut was giving Osiris all the attention due to his condition, unlike Seth, whose power was very noticeable. When Seth was ill they didn't give him the same attention like they always gave to Osiris. They always felt confident that Seth had the power to overcome anything. Also, when they were playing a game and they crashed into each other, their parents ran first to Osiris to check on him because they felt that Seth had power to protect himself. Furthermore, when Seth was playing with a big cat and the cat was trying to attack him his parents thought that he could defend himself because he has power. On the other hand when Osiris wanted to play the a cat, they refused. Despite all of this Seth never had any hard feelings towards his brother because he knew that his brother needed help. Also, Seth tried sometimes to help him and if he needed to go to any place Seth was the first one who offered to go with him. Later on, two beautiful girls were born, Isis and Nephthys. Isis was the love and magic god, and Nephthys was the god of death and grief. Isis was beautiful wearing a sheath dress. Nephthys was wearing a headdress of a disk and a pair of horns. Isis was beautiful and kind. All people loved her a bit more than her sister. If Isis went to any place her attractive appearance attracted all the attention. When she attended her party and took the first steps on the dance floor while all people were amazed with her performance and they all fallen in love with her. When both girls were born, a lot of gods came to visit the beautiful girls, but most importantly was the god Ra, the sun and power god, and his representative, god Thoth, the inventor of medicine. God of sun and power came to empower them and protect them. Also the god Thoth came to protect them from any illness. ![IMG\_256](media/image6.jpeg) Nephthys "Horus come to help me in cleaning my room" said Isis. "Okay, but what is this?" Asked Horus. "You mean this?" asked Isis. "Yes this from where did you get it from?" asked Horus. "It has very good memories" replied Isis with a touching voice "Wow you make me excited to know the story," Horus jumped up and down "One day the God of sun Ra come to visit me and my sister and he was wearing this," continued Isis. "What happen how did you take it?" replied Horus. "This is sun charm and it brings luck to any one wore it, He later come to visit us and he was playing with me and I toke it from him and he left it for me," replied Isis with a soft voice "Wow it is really emotional, "replied Horus. As the children grew up older they started playing with each other. When Isis, Seth, Nephthys, and Osiris were playing, Sethh ended up spending more time playing with Isis after everyone finished playing and left, Seth stayed and, continue to playing with Isis. In the shadows, Seth was standing, listening to Isis and Horus, while remembering how it all started. He can't forget that day. **[Name: Joumana Mohamed samy (Rising Action)]** **[ID: 2021-08803]** Seth I remember the night as if it happened yesterday. The crocodiles laid quiet by the banks, their eyes like stones fixed on the black water. It was as if the river itself was preparing to witness something awful from the depth. It was at night when my mother woke up to my screams. She rushed to my side, her heart racing and her hands shivering. Osiris was laying on the floor shaking, unable to keep his body still. We had no idea what to do, so, we woke up my father. At that moment he couldn't think of any solution except for one. We headed to the important city of Bubastis in the southeastern Nile delta. We took my poor brother to Bastet. The journey felt endless, that moment is really haunting me until now. When we arrived, Bastet noticed how bad Osiris's condition was. My mother managed with a shaky breath to only utter 5 words (I beg you, help him) Bastet began to chant in a lyrical rhythm the sacred words of healing. As the magic took effects, his cheeks started to regain color and the ashen color of his skin faded away. I had been so scared, but by some miracle, he was saved. Since that night, Osiris found himself returning to the habits of his everyday life. I was so happy that he was able to play with me. These were very precious days. "Let's celebrate your recovery," I said. "That's the thing I missed the most," Osiris said bouncing. I suggested "let's make a garden using our powers but we have to use these powers in a wise way." Osiris liked my idea. I volunteered to begin by bringing dark clouds that unleashed a huge downpour that transformed the ground into a landscape filled with flowers and trees. "I will bring the sun's warmth," Osiris said. With a wave of his hand, he was able to encourage the flowers to bloom in a beautiful summery color. Combining our magic, we managed to create a very beautiful garden. Our father noticed what we did with the garden, and he knew then that we were ready to be sent to earth to decide who is better suited to rule both kingdoms after him and to test not just our powers, but our hearts. Days passed and one day a man approached our father with a problem. He explained to him that he purchased a horse from a well- known horse seller but a week later he noticed that the horse was limping. The man was so angry and wanted his money back. It was only a few days later when our father sent us down to earth. The weight of it all hit me. Osiris and I were always close, but now as we were being tested, each of us wanting to succeed. I could tell from his look that he felt it too. He was worried about how this would turn out. So, we made a promise. We promised that no matter what happened, we would hold on to each other, but deep down I knew that promises can fray when shadows grow long. Our father assigned us to solve this problem. The man asked us to bring the horse seller to his house. "We should meet on neutral ground," I insisted, "to make sure the problem is solved fairly." Osiris, on the other hand, saw no harm in meeting the needs of the man to be fair, however, before taking a decision, Osiris asked around town to find more about the man's character. After he gathered information about the man, he found out that the man was indeed reputable. "There is nothing suspicious about the man," Osiris said to me. I couldn't shake the worry that things might take a dark turn, like they had once before. There was this other incident, where a rich man used his power to get what he wanted, no matter the cost. He used his authority to crush anyone on his way, and in the end, it led to the other man's death. That incident made me decide to investigate deeper about the wealthy man as I can't help but fear it might play out the same way. It's enough to make me worry, it could be the horse seller who end up paying the price. Osiris and I split up to investigate deeper. I asked many questions to the horse seller about the horse's health before the sale. After I finished with my questions, I concluded that the horse was perfectly fine and healthy. To be totally fair, I mentioned to Osiris "If the horse became ill afterwards, the man should first heal it before asking for a refund." Meanwhile, Osiris's intention was to do the same level of investigation but he was in his healing process so, he couldn't exert a lot of effort. When we met the horse seller, the horse seller assured to us that the horse was in an excellent health before the man took it. Osiris felt sympathy towards the man who paid money in return for an ill horse as he believed that if the horse's illness emerged so quickly then it might have been present from the beginning, so He gently persuaded the horse-seller to return the money as he thought that it was the fair thing to do. At the end, the seller agreed to a refund, and we had helped resolve the problem. The well-known man was so happy to have his money back and he said to Osiris with admiration "you will make a really great king one day." Even though Osiris was happy, I felt that there was something wrong with him. At mid night I noticed that Osiris couldn't sleep and I saw him head out. As I was worried about my brother, I followed him to make sure that he is okay because it was very cold and his health wasn't very well. He went to visit the horse seller, explaining to him that he was just trying to be fair and that he was sorry if he didn't fully consider the horse seller's perspective, he even offered him a fair compensation. At that moment, I was proud of my brother for trying to help the man but at the same time I was wandering why he did that from the start while knowing it wasn't completely fair Osiris and I left the village, each one carrying a lesson of justice. Even though both of us had different points of view. I was stern, and he was gentle, and somehow it worked. We were like day and night both are important for the sustenance of life. Our father couldn't yet decide who would be perfect to rule the kingdom because both of us did a great job together. He, therefore, sent us out on another mission but this time he wanted to teach us about mercy. As we wandered through the village, we saw two lost sheep wandering aimlessly. I knew that our father was the one who sent them. Each one of us began to think about ways to make this sheep a blessing for people. I decided to give the sheep to a kind widow I knew the day we were sent to earth. This widow had two daughters and one of the two daughters was very ill. I knew that this widow struggled in raising her two daughters alone. I knew this family well and I saw the hardships they encountered. This ill daughter reminded me of my poor ill brother, which made me think about my family. I felt sympathetic towards this family and I knew how much they suffered, so I thought that the sheep would offer them wool and meat which would make their lives better and easier. On the other hand, Osiris had a different plan. He wanted to spread joy all over the village. He thought that instead of giving the sheep to one family, He could divide the sheep's meat and wool among different houses. He wanted to make as many people as possible happy and win people's love and prayers. I understood Osiris's point of view, yet at the same time I didn't agree with him. I said "I know that you are generous brother, but it's better to offer the sheep to someone who is in dire need." Both of us chose different paths, I took my sheep to the widow's family. When the widow saw her gift, she jumped out of excitement as she felt how this sheep would make the life of her daughters better. She warmly thanked me and gave me a necklace. The necklace was a sand globe necklace that contained a daffodil. "May it guide you to the right path and always protect you, as you have done for us Seth, "said the widow. I was so happy with the gift and it felt to me like I was being protected. I took the necklace right away from the widow, and the first person who came to mind to give it to: was Isis. She truly deserved something beautiful, something that would make her smile. So, I went to her and offered it, and the look in her eyes when she saw it was enough... it was as if I had given her the world. She was truly thankful. But then. I caught Nephthys watching us. Her eyebrows were raised, and that smile on her face.... It didn't look quite right. Forced, almost. That look made me wonder if she was feeling left out, or maybe\... something else. On the other hand, Osiris distributed the sheep among many families. The families were very happy and they prayed for him. After a while he found out that the portions he distributed didn't last that long. The meal made them happy but only no longer as the meal lasted while what I did had a long term of impact on the lives of this one family. At that moment Osiris felt disappointed and I was sad I got to see him like that. Our father saw our efforts and he was proud of us both, but he still hadn't made up his mind as to who should rule after his demise. Our father was given a piece of land as a sacrifice so he thought about giving it to us to understand more about the earth and human beings as we would be ruling it in the future. While exploring our small land, we stumbled upon a secret hole that led to a massive cave that was filled with gold. Osiris saw this as an opportunity to give the people the gold, believing it would benefit them. "The land was a gift Osiris, but the gold that we found is indeed not ours to give," I said. "Imagine how much we would make the people happy if we provided them with this gold," Osiris said. "Stop thinking about people Osiris, the honest thing to do is to return the gold to the original land owners," I replied. Osiris was not fully convinced, but he agreed nonetheless. It wasn't until after I gave them the gold that I found out how much they needed it. I thought I was just doing a small good deed, but it turned out that the gold was a life line. They used gold to buy a medicine as apparently a family member was seriously very ill. I mean, imagine... just a handful of gold standing between life and death. It reminded me how little we sometimes know about each other's struggles until it's nearly too late. In that moment, our trials came to an end. **[Name: Sara Ahmed Farrag Mohamed (Rising Action+ Climax)]** **[ID: 2021-05944 ]** Seth My father called Osiris and me to his room, the weight of anticipation hanging thick in the air. I knew he was about to announce his choice for the ruler. Growing up, Osiris and I were both raised to be strong, but we took different paths. I focused on power and doing what was right, no matter what others thought. \"What does it matter what they think?\" I often told myself, hiding my frustrations beneath a stoic facade. Osiris, however, prioritized emotions and connections. He could express himself effortlessly, while I felt trapped behind walls I built around my heart. Sometimes I envied him. \"Why can\'t you just say what you mean?\" he always would ask, with concern in his eyes. Yet, vulnerability felt like a weakness to me. I watched him forge deep relationships, knowing that people respected and listened to him. "They'll never understand me like they understand you," I thought, that truth settling heavily in my chest. ![](media/image11.jpg) Osiris Seth As I stood there waiting for our father's permission to enter, I wrestled with admiration and self-doubt. Would my focus on duty resonate with the people? Or would Osiris\'s emotional connections give him the edge? The choice my father was about to make loomed over us, a moment that would shape our futures and the bond between us. We entered the room, and my father started talking on the spot. "First, before I announce who I chose to rule both kingdoms, I want you both to know that I am really proud of you, and choosing one of you to be the king doesn't mean that the other isn't capable of ruling," he affirmed. "Father, we understand that you have to choose only one of us, but that doesn't mean we will hold any grudges towards each other," said Osiris gently. I nodded in agreement to my brother's words. "That's why I am not worried that my decision will affect your relationship," my father replied. "Nothing can affect our relationship, father," I said politely. He nodded, "There is no dispute that power is needed to rule a kingdom, but taking your people's opinion into consideration is a strong factor as well," he continued. "You can't always focus on doing the right thing without thinking about your people, because they will be the first to stand against you, even if what you're doing is what you think is right for them. That's why the new king should be closer to people, someone who they appreciate and respect, and as the three of us know that this person is Osiris, so I chose him to be the king of both kingdoms: earth and sky." "Thank you for choosing me. I won't let you down, father," replied Osiris firmly. He bent to kiss our father's hand and gave him a warm hug. I still remember how I felt when the news thumped me like a hurricane. I stood motionless in my spot. As I absorbed the startling realization, my heart raced. My eyes glowed with disbelief, which soon gave way to frustration. I balled my fists at my sides, feeling confused and betrayed at the same time. I tried to shake away that feeling and congratulated my brother. "Since your trials have ended, I have something important to discuss. It's time for both of you to consider marriage. I will ask Nut to bring Isis and Nephthys to me, and once a decision is made, I will inform you. For now, you're dismissed," my father said, a hint of excitement in his voice. "What do you think about going out to celebrate my\..." Osiris didn't get to continue his words as I brushed past him, the heavy doors of the castle creaking open as I stepped into the sunlight.  I started wandering aimlessly around the earth kingdom, thinking of what I had done wrong. I couldn't comprehend my father's decision. I was fair and meaningful. I did what my conscience dictated. Osiris might have won more people's love, but was he completely fair? Later, I shook these thoughts, thinking that I was just overreacting. I tried to look at the good part. "At least I will get to marry the love of my life, Isis," I said dreamily. "I always loved her from a distance, and I wear a smile while my heart whispers secrets she never heard." Seth On the coronation day, everything was going fine. I knew that everything was settled, and the girls agreed to marry Osiris and me. Now, I was just waiting for my father to announce it, then Isis will be mine forever. As I was waiting for the announcement, my heart raced at the thought of our worlds finally colliding, until my father announced that Osiris was marrying Isis and I was marrying Nephthys. I felt my heart shatter, leaving behind a haunting emptiness. I remained silent the whole day and didn't give any reaction; nobody knew how broken and heated I was at that moment. I tried to contain my pain, but I couldn't handle feeling envious and jealous of my brother. I then came to a conclusion: Osiris was the reason for my misery. I always believed I was the better one for Isis and I loved her more deeply. ![](media/image13.jpeg) Seth Osiris Isis However, the thing that hurt me the most was the feeling that my brother didn't feel my pain. He was focused on himself only, and he didn't even think about me for a moment, and that feeling made me more furious. I was feeling bitter, a sharp ache coursing through me. The pain was caused by my brother, and I couldn't shake it off. I started to wonder: Was he feeling what I felt? Did I even matter to him? Or was he too busy focusing on others, as he always seemed to do? My mind whirled with questions, each one more disturbing than the previous. I wanted to think that Osiris was attentive to me, that he noticed me beneath his effortlessness among other people. However, uncertainty tore at me, making the pain worse. Why did I feel as though I was yelling into thin air, my emotions ignored and unheard?  Nephthys was there for me; her presence was a comforting, soothing remedy for my distress. "You're the better brother," she said softly, her voice steady. "You deserve so much more than what's been given to you." "Osiris never cared about how you felt." She made me think of our first assigned trial, when I had been the only one who could solve the horse-seller\'s difficulty. I experienced a brief surge of pride, but it soon vanished as reality sank in. I was now the one feeling injustice.\ \ A fire started to burn within of me as she talked about the second and third trials and how I always managed to win over everyone. I became more and more frustrated as each word replayed itself in my head.\ \ With a rise of anger, I thought, \"I deserve what Osiris took.\" It was me, not him, who was the better brother. This realization fueled my rage and widened the gap between me and Osiris, feeling like a huge stone in my chest. I felt like my value had been overshadowed in that moment, and I was determined to take it back. Seeing my status, Nephyths convinced me to plan a competition with a gold coffin, and whoever could find that coffin and fit in it would be the winner and could have the coffin. Hoping that the competition can make me feel better. When the competition started and the coffin fitted Osiris, I took it as a sign to get rid of my brother. I felt that the universe was giving me a signal to fix all what happened and set back what was rightfully mine. After people left the competition's location, I took the coffin and buried him far away in the desert and went back to the kingdom. I later went back to the place I buried the coffin in. I knew that due to the healing power that Osiris had, he would be able to fight the suffocation and get out of the coffin, so I was waiting for him on the other side of the desert. After Osiris saw me standing waiting for him, I saw how he felt bitter through his eyes after realizing what I had done to him. "How could you have betrayed our relationship in this way?" Osiris asked with disappointment, "I feel an intense pain, as though a piece of me had been cut out. How could you have failed to recognize the misery your actions would cause? At that moment, the brother I thought I knew vanished, replaced by a stranger I could barely recognize." I couldn't hear any more words from him. I started attacking him, and after a while he attacked me back while confronting one another. "You've taken everything from me, Osiris! Since we were kids, it's always been about you: Mom and Dad's attention, people's admiration, the throne, and now even my lover! You're so selfish, only ever thinking of yourself and your needs!" I said while attacking Osiris with a blade. "Selfish? You think I chose this? I didn't ask to be sick, Seth! It's not my fault that people feel sorry for me. You don't understand anything about my life!" replied Osiris while trying to avoid my attacks. ![](media/image15.jpg)His statements inflamed my rage even further. I am the unaware one, he says. He continued to ignore my years of support, as usual. Osiris Seth "I understand more than you think! I see you feeding on the pity of everyone around you while I'm left in your shadow. You're the one who gets all the sympathy, while I'm just the brother who's supposed to support you!" I replied with anger. "You're looking at my life through your lens, not mine! I've always wanted to be healthy, to earn love for who I am, not for being the weak son everyone worries about. Do you really think I wanted to be this way?" said Osiris while attacking me back with his blade. Then, we both threw our blades and started using our powers, aiming for each other. "Why are you that furious, Seth? It couldn't be because of the reasons you stated. You were always my supporter. I always noticed you cared for me like no one else!" continued Osiris. "You? You noticed? If you really noticed how I cared about you, why didn't you do the same? You've taken the life I wanted for yourself! I've always had to compete with your illness for attention!" I said while hitting Osiris with a wave of sand. Then Nephthys' words rang in my ear, how he never cared about how I felt, that made me more and more furious. "I care about you! I've always cared about you, but you were so caught up in your anger that you couldn't even see my care!" replied Osiris while hitting me with a wave of water.  "Your care? You think that justifies everything? I'm tired of always being the second. From now on, there will be only me, no more Osiris," I said while pushing Osiris, who stumbled and fell against the sharp edge of a stone. Osiris Seth ![](media/image17.jpg)Seeing how my brother was bleeding to death, I started cutting him into 14 pieces. I hurled the pieces in many places. I buried a few parts in an isolated part of the royal gardens. Some pieces were tucked beneath old containers and spiders in a storage room that had been abandoned in the castle. The last of the remains I dumped in a nearby forest. After I finished, I felt like there was something heavy placed on my chest. I remembered that night when I woke up to Osiris' sound, when he was laying on the floor shaking, unable to keep his body still, how I was screaming for my parents to help Osiris to not let him die, to save him, to bring him back to me well. What have I done? I didn't want it to end that way! I didn't mean to kill him! I was just angry; he is my brother! I didn't mean to kill him! I should let them reach his body! I didn't mean to do it! I didn't intend for that to happen! I then wrote a note on a papyrus with three clues that would lead to Osiris' parts to my brother, whom I killed. Look: - Beneath a centuries-old tree\'s crooked roots. - Somewhere no one would think to look, behind dusty boxes and spider webs. - Buried deep under bushes and fallen leaves. **[Name: Lara Hani (Falling Action + Ending)]** **[ID: 2021/02815]** [ ] Seth I knew that Nephthys understood what had happened when she returned home. She had enjoyed her time and found peace in growing herbs and plants in her garden, which provided her with a calming routine and connected her with nature. Earlier, I overheard her talking with her servant, admitting that she had tried to turn me against my brother, Osiris. I saw her regret and her eyes were puffy and red which showed how she cried endlessly. She looked at me with blame. His eyes seemed to be telling me "I am not blaming, I'm partly responsible" She thought that I might banish Osiris or send him away, but she never thought that I would harm him like that. She felt the terrible mistake she had made as she felt guilty as she was a main part of Osiris\' death. Then, she always wore white as a symbol of her pain. I also started to feel the weight of guilt for killing my brother. At first, I thought I was doing what was best for myself, my family, and my kingdom, and I didn't see the harm but later I became aware of the situation. After nights of thinking and awful dreams, I tried to figure out what I should do to fix my mistakes, a way to finally find peace. I wanted my brother's parts to be honored with a peaceful burial so that he could embark on his journey to the afterlife. One night I left hints about Osiris' body parts, leaving some papyrus paper with clues next to Nephthys as she was sleeping. On the second morning, Nephthys found the clues I had left beside her bed. I had written them to guide her and Isis. She guessed it was probably me since she had tried to search for me, but I couldn't face them. Therefore, I felt that Nephthys, being a deity of magic with great healing powers, could bring Osiris back and could try to help Isis see that she was mourning her husband, our brother, Osiris. After Nephthys decided to help our sister, Isis. She immediately went to Isis to show her the clues without revealing how she received them, I don't know why. Isis looked at them in surprise, but she focused on the clues only. It hurt me that she didn't realize I was the one who had given them to Nephthys, but her reaction to the clues made me joyful. I wish that Nephthys would not make me do the same with Isis as well as she did with Osiris and me. I had expected this from Nephthys, as none of us would act for one another but all to bring Osiris back to life. They carefully followed the clues and began to search for the fourteen pieces. Nephthys and Isis gathered the pieces that I hid close by, others were farther away. As I watched them find each piece one by one, I felt a hint of relief by seeing Isis dressed in yellow, I was happy that I was the one who had given her a glimmer of hope. ![](media/image19.png)For the first time, both my sisters were determined to find every piece, no matter how hard the journey was. They had each other's backs. As they traveled through wide deserts and swam down to the Nile for days, they managed to find some parts of Osiris piece by piece. With every small piece of him, Isis looked a little less sad. I could see how tired they were. I was happy to see them sitting by the fire in the western desert, recalling childhood memories and how Isis grabbed Ra's necklace, which had blessed them all at their birth and our mother was happy about this moment. While they were talking, I remembered Ra's power, so I decided to take action, I made the desert even hotter and waved my hand to create a strong storm with dark clouds, loud lighting, and thunder filling the sky, and strong winds wrapping Nephthys and Isis in the storm and lifted off their feet, then I threw them to Ra's kingdom. When the storm calmed down. They found themselves at majestic gates towering into the sky, engraved with bronze shapes and figures of the sun in different sizes, At the gates stood a magnificent statue of Re, crowned with a shining golden ball. His face, defined by wisdom and strength, was framed by deep eyes that sparkled like stars. The gates carvings of stars and suns bound. As Isis and Nephthys got closer to the gates, they felt warm air coming from the gates with a feeling of hope. Isis with a deep breath said "Finally". As they stood at the gates, the guards stopped them and said, "I am sorry but it's not that easy to enter here without permission". "THE DEITY KNOWS US WELL! JUST TELL HIM! "Replied nervously Isis I was worried they would not be able to enter, yet I waited to see what would happen. The Guard automatically replied, "To enter the kingdom, you need a special key". Isis and Nephthys kept begging the guard and telling him "We do not have any keys! We do not have any keys!" But the guard stood strongly in his place without showing any response, as Isis wept before the gate, the necklace she had been wearing started to shine to the extent that the skin was burnt. She grabbed the necklace to take it off when suddenly she remembered that it was the sun charm she had taken from Re. She removed the necklace and lifted it to the sun symbol carved on the top of the gates. As she did so, the gate slowly opened, and comforting sun rays fell on the two sisters. They felt they were being wrapped up in the hands of a loving guardian. I was willing to fight with the guards if I had to, but finally, I could breathe a sigh of relief. They were close to completing the mission. Finally, Osiris will be resurrected. Suddenly, they heard Ra's voice "Dear Isis, I have been waiting for you little thief, I will take you to the deity Thoth, the wise deity of knowledge and magic, Thoth will be the one to fulfill your request". ![](media/image21.png)Isis told Thoth her wish, I could see how he felt moved by her deep love for her husband Osiris and her wish to bring him again. Thoth explained to her that he could revive Osiris for just one day, as that was within his power, but emphasized that no wish could be fulfilled without her return. So, Isis was mainly focused on spending time with Osiris. It was like a test of loyalty for Isis, she realized that our lovers sometimes mean letting go, as it's a belief in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. As she knew they had only one day, she was eager to give birth to him. Even if he\'s not physically here his spirit would live on forever, at that moment, my happiness couldn't be any less than theirs, I felt a little bit glad for Isis for knowing that even though Osiris couldn't be with her, she would have something of him to hold onto through their son. At that moment, Isis became pregnant, so she ran away and hid, and she thought that the probable thing she had to protect herself and her unborn child from me, however, I always watched over them from the beginning. Across the years Isis gradually tells Horus the story of her love for Osiris and what had happened to his father. After hours of hearing the story of Osiris and me, his excitement gave way to shock, He did not know what to say to his mother, so he silently left her and left his room, I could see in his eyes that he couldn\'t get the image of his father's death out of his mind; he was determined to take his father\'s revenge. On seeing this I realized that the time had come for him to finally face my guilt, even if I had been suffering all along and his parents took their check throughout my lifetime.... On the other hand, while Isis was alone, I appeared to her, and she was surprised and asked "You?" "Yes Isis, I haven't taken my eyes off you and your son since Osiris left,\" I said.  Isis is in fear "Are you here to finish the job?" "No, I replied. "I have reflected deeply on all that has occurred. And to tell you... every clue you found to bring Osiris back? Even the storm, those were my doing" Suddenly, Horus entered the room. I looked up at Horus and said "Horus! My dear Horus". Horus, with an angry face, replied, "Really, UNCLE! What are you doing here?" I took a few steps back, seeing how angry Horus was. "Listen, son, just listen. I only ask that you hear me out". I replied. But Horus hushed him "Guess what, Uncle... your kingdom\... is no longer yours\..." I replied right away "Oh, son, I don't mind. Do you think I want the throne?" "You are the eldest member of the family, uncle... I will leave you the choice. It is too simple, either you face your end\... or face your end" Horus said. He drew his sword and pointed it at me, I detached mine to defend myself hoping to get a choice to put the same reason into, but unwilling to fight back. Horus wanted revenge during one fierce clash, my sword swung close and accidentally struck Horus's face and cut his left eye. Horus yelled in pain and said, "My eye! Uncle, you'll pay for this!" Despite Hours' injury, I could sense his uncontrollable rage through the violent strikes. At last, Horus stepped forward toward me and drove his sword into my chest, at that moment my fate was sealed, and in my final breath, I whispered "Well done, my brother's son". And finally, I was able to find peace.
