Secret Dove [ENNEAD x Female Reader] - DISCONTINUED

T E N

At the banks of the majestic Nile River, Seth and Horus, the two contenders, gathered once more to engage in a battle for supremacy over the kingdom of Egypt. Each of them, having emerged victorious in a previous contest, was eager to prove their worth and emerge as the true ruler.

As Maat, the personification of truth and justice, spoke up, the silence was broken by the sound of a vase opening. Reaching inside, she pulled out a parchment, her eyes scanning the words written upon it.

"The second event will be Stone Boat racing," Maat declared. Ra, the supreme deity and patron of the sun, grinned mischievously at the prospect, delighting in the anticipation of another thrilling contest.

The participants and bystanders listened closely, absorbing every detail of the announcement, while the tension in the air grew thicker by the moment. Stone Boat racing was a highly challenging event, requiring exceptional physical prowess and exceptional resilience. Those with weak nerves and frail bodies were bound to succumb to the harsh conditions of the race, leaving them in danger of losing their footing and tumbling into the treacherous waters of the Nile.

And so, with bated breath, the onlookers awaited the results of the contest, their eyes glued to the competitors as they prepared to take on the daunting task ahead.

"The victor of the second challenge has been decided," Maat announced, her voice echoing across the arena. "It is Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, who shall be named the winner of the stone boat race."

The audience erupted in cheers and applause, their eyes fixed on the victor as he emerged from the river with a triumphant smile. Seth, however, displayed a completely different reaction. As Horus made his way to the victory podium, Seth stepped forward, his jaw clenched in anger. Before anyone could react, he struck a vicious punch that connected squarely with Horus' face.

The crowd grew quiet, their shock evident as Seth continued his brutal assault, punching and kicking Horus with wild abandon. Isis and the others leaped to Horus' defense, while Ra let out a cackling laugh. But her mirth was quickly extinguished when she caught the sight of Hathor's gaze.

Amid the chaos, [Name] stood frozen in shock, her hand clenched around Ruelle, her dove. Her heart raced as she watched the horrifying spectacle unfold before her, unable to process the violence that had just transpired.

Amid the intense and chaotic scene, Isis rose from her seat, her eyes fixed on Seth with a mixture of wrath and determination. However, Ra, who was seated next to her, quickly reacted to the sudden movement, placing a foot on top of Isis' leg to block her path towards Seth.

It was then that Maat, the embodiment of truth and justice, raised her voice to bring order to the growing chaos. "Seth, your actions are in direct violation of the laws governing the tournament! You cannot resort to physical violence against your opponent simply because you are unsatisfied with the outcome!"

Seth, however, wouldn't be deterred. With a burst of anger, he shouted back, "SHUT UP, YOU IMBECILE!" The air was thick with tension as Seth's words echoed across the arena, causing even the birds to fall silent. "IF YOU HAVE EYES, TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK!"

With swift motions, he began to manipulate the sand, using it to lift Horus' boat, the one that had been the subject of contention, and to bring it back to the center of the arena. Staring at the object, Seth's voice grew louder with fury. "TELL ME WHETHER THAT GUY'S BOAT LOOKS LIKE STONE OR WOOD TO YOU!"
