Heru was pressed hard to hold his ground, and eventually he found he could not keep their blows from landing. He could only laugh, even if softly at Astarte, whispering softly even though she could not hear- vengeance never dies.

But as the silence of the empty pent house began to fall around him like a cold blanket, Heru had to wonder if his own words were true. He wasn't even sure if anyone would hear if he called out to them, like a summons. Egypt was so far away.

"Set..." He said, breath hard for him to catch. "Set...Thoth...." Though Thoth, he knew was too far to hear- or would ignore it as an annoyance even if he did. "Please. Set...."

Please be back from Egypt.
