The evil God's curse (ENNEAD )

Last time

Pov:Nut)
We Gods do not actually need sleep ,food or water. Yes we accept them when they're offered by the humans but we do not need them to survive.

That's the reason why I wasn't tired from watching my Starlight sleep all night. My poor baby was exhausted. He didn't wake through the night ,not even once.

When the sun was just around the dune ,he began to stir. Moving his legs like he was running inside the fluffy blanket he was wrapped in.

And then he started to rub his face with his tiny hands while scrunching his nose. Ah~ my baby isn't a morning person judging by his annoyed red face.

So adorable! I could just faint.

'Oh! He's looking at me now.' Nut thought after she was done fangirling.

Just after greeting my starlight his stomach told me loud and clear how hungry he's gotten over the night.

So I immediately lift the grumpy  ,chubby baby in my arms and make my way out of the nursery after adjusting my dress.

While making my way to the others I order for his milk and for a bath to get made ready. It seems my darling is a bit sweaty.

(Seth pov)
Being a baby is harder than it looks.

Some may say that a baby only eats ,poops and sleeps. Seth would beg to differ. And he considers anyone who harbors such thoughts lucky since he cannot speak.

He has to endure things that would have made stronger men break down.  He cannot control his body, therefore there are a lot of accidents which is mortifying since other people will clean me once i have one.

As that wasn’t enough, he has become a slave to hunger and whenever his stomach decides to make its presence known he cannot help but weep. Literally.

And what has become Seth's greatest enemy is sleepiness. One second he’s thinking of plans of world domination ,the next he’s looking at the stars above his crib!

This is absolutely unacceptable. I need to find a solution quickly.

Not to mention how absolutely clingy everyone has become. The few moments where I have the high ground on sleep ,they stick to me like glue.

Cooing, poking my cheeks, squishing my cheeks, kissing my face all over, laughing at me screaming at them. Heck ,they even threw me in the air! I know, I know they can control the wind and have magic but holy Ra my heart dropped.

(Pov: Horus)

There is no good in this life.

No happiness.

No love.

Only pain and despair is eternal.

"Are you done sulking now?"

Betrayed by my loved ones.

"Aigoo, you're the one who chose to bet with the adults. It's your own fault really."

You can trust no one ,not even your mother.

"Wow he's even glaring at Isis now. This generation has no shame really. Tsk tsk."

"That's your influence if we're being truthful."

"!!! Na-uh! Do you see me sulking about getting number 2? I'm not so immature. And be polite to your sister Bastet!"

"For the last time, I'm number 2. You're number 6 ,don't even try Sekhmet."

"Since when are you so competitive Anubis?"

"Oh please, I'm just protecting the prize I won. Would you give up your time with Seth if you were second?"

"The fuck i would,  back off!"

"Thought so."

Why are we here? Just to suffer?

"Get up Horus, stop being so dramatic. Your number is fine. You could have ended up like Ra."

*ugly crying can be heard from the gardens*

"Yall are menaces! I shouldn't have gone easy on you! Waaaa-" cried Ra.

After Seth fell asleep there was a lot we had to take care of.

First the disasters caused by grandmother and grandfather. Since Seth was a demigod he needed a safe and peaceful environment to grow up.

Secondly, all that mess around the sun boat. It took some hours but being determined to return and stay close to Seth shortened the time by half.

Lastly but not least, the borders between life and death. I wasn't included but from what mother told us when they returned, it had been a tough procession and though they were still gonna add some more spells, it was impossible to go around the laws of balance anymore. They were pretty drained out by the end but it was worth it.

Some of the Ennead went to their domains to make sure things were going good and to prepare gifts for Seth.

And some stayed in my and my mother's palace. Nut and Geb of course stick close to Seth. Ra came back with me after taking care of the situation at the sum boat and will leave at dawn. Anubis and Nephthys are making lucky charms in the gardens. Sekhmet….I honestly don't know what the hell she does. She just pops out of nowhere every once in a while. Hathor is organizing some baby clothes in one of the guest rooms.

So after resting for a while, everyone was talking about spending time with Seth once he woke up. Somehow, talking becomes arguing, which then becomes a heated argument and the cherry on top, a competition.

Everyone who wanted to spend time with him had to fight for their turn.  And it was nasty.

Cheating, tricks, lies, threats, bargains, anything was on the table. Even Maat didn't care about staying truthful at some point.

The possibility that he wouldn't wake up never crossed our minds….
