Horus

We charge toward the demons, hoping to meet them before they've reached the top of the pyramid. Set is in our path within seconds.

"I don't think so, Horus," he laughs. "You won't ruin this party."

We summon our weapon. Set follows suit, smiles, and the battle continues. We fight with renewed ferocity. Slicing. Dodging. We bring our sword down in a deadly arc. Set ducks aside and our blade hits stone, sending a shock wave through our whole body. Before we can recover, Set speaks: "Ha-wi!"

Strike.

The hieroglyphs explode in our face. We're send tumbling down the side of the pyramid and the world goes black.
