[ One stern, red brow arches. Incredulous. Marc does not believe gods could die? ]
Priest, I killed my brother. Of all things to say to me!
[ Though Osiris had returned, it was only due to the intervention of other gods. Of the Nile, of Isis's miraculous power, and even then, the scars he had left upon Osiris had largely condemned him to imprisonment in Duat. He could not leave, not without manifesting in the shape of another — parasitical, a strangling vine. ]
However, you did not die, this is not the afterlife. This is where one ends up when they do not perish with their world.
[ Though he is a god, his diminished state and the Shard embedded within him means that he can die the same as anyone else in the world. Barring anything happening to his Shard, he will inevitably return. He will outlive many others, immortal in all but permanence. He speaks of the end of their world(s), of the death of gods at the hand of some mightier power — some unmaking of another's doing, even. Who knew what the eyes in the darkness represented, what truly happened to the worlds that were left to die while select handfuls of souls were transported by the Lady Yima from ruin to root.
Propping a foot upon the corpse of the beast, he cants his head. Furious without heat, indescribably combative, as he rasps and snaps every word he speaks. Brutal, brutish. He does not speak with a kind, understanding affect, but the immeasurably ferocity of a storm: ] My goals currently align with Meridian. Thus, I am devoted to restoring the world that was lost. As the last of the Ennead, I will see the world, the humans, and the Ennead — including that stupid moon god — returned to their rightful place in existence!
[ Because, um. Well. Marc's Khonshu's priest, right? Surely he wants the world that Khonshu lives in to return too??? ]
