“Horus dropped to his knees in rapture at the site. Who would not strive to worship so perfect of being? Power and certainty flowed from the figure, the secret mystery of creation at his fingertips, the answers to any question that could be asked.

No man lives forever and even as memory fades, so too will any remembrance of him.”
