A tentative voice.

Why have you summoned me to this place? Have I not finally earned peace for my people and myself?

Comments

TBH, I'm kind of mixing both right now. Sorry if it's confusing.

[thegoldenhorus]

Agreed. The world is safer without those who would ruin it for their personal vendettas.

No it's fine! They're both pretty confusing all on their own so I like seeing other interpretations.

[pregames]

Do you ever wonder if we could have done something different? I mean before it came to what it did. If only it had not...

I'm glad!

[thegoldenhorus]

[ Atem is quiet for a few long moments ]

I think there had been a point where things could have gone differently, my other self. But I also believe that option was taken from us and the path left to us was one necessary, however unpleasant.

[pregames]

[Atem also takes a while to process what his other self has said.]

Necessary... I understand retribution was necessary for what was done, but I had not thought Ma'at could be so cruel. I suppose that was a mistake. One of many. [He forces a smirk. It's fine if he's only admitting this to himself, right?]

[thegoldenhorus]

[ Atem feels the same way; this is something that he's not comfortable discussing with any other, not even his Priests ]

I do not know. I won't lie and say it hasn't caused me many sleepless nights. I feel as though... the Gods themselves want nothing to do with it.

[pregames]

[Not even them... he hardly knows what it's like not to put on a face every day.]

But you still say to have faith? Perhaps it's our trial, although it's nothing like the texts said it would be.

[thegoldenhorus]

[ a wry smile ]

Battling Apep from the Great Barque would seem to be easier than this, wouldn't it?

[pregames]

[Heh.] Even if it's every night, you have to get used to it after a while.

[thegoldenhorus]

To answer your previous question: yes, I still think that hope should be held for this. If there is still another step to be taken, then... I'll find it.
