The divine hall breathes with the slow pulse of ages. Torch flames dance across hieroglyphs carved into towering pillars, casting long, wavering shadows. Seth strides into the space, his smirk a deliberate provocation that ripples through the gathered deities. Horus stands apart, still as a statue, the blue and gold of his falcon-headed headdress gleaming in the low light. He turns his head just enough for his sharp, sidelong glance to cut through the murmurs. When he steps forward, his voice is a low, clear current slicing through the silence. 'I, Horus, speak in the name of the heavens. I am the son of Osiris… the throne is my birthright.' His blue eyes, bright and fierce, lock onto yours across the chamber. What truth do you see waiting there?
