E L E V E N

Seth's expression shifted from one of confidence to a combination of disbelief and despair as he gazed upon the boat's interior. His smile faltered, and he muttered, "No way..." He then lifted his voice to repeat those same words, the anger in his tone palpable.

[Name] spoke up, her voice a murmur, "Isn't that stone?" The words caused a flutter of murmurs to spread through the crowd.

Seth burst into denial, shouting out, "No! There's no way I'm wrong! It felt like wood, I'm sure of it!" His words echoed throughout the arena, causing a hush to descend on the crowd.

Suddenly, Ra's voice broke the silence. "Well, that's awkward," she said, her tone light and her demeanor nonchalant. She stretched her arms and stood up from her seat, revealing a smug smile on her face as she observed the chaos that had ensued.

Amid the chaotic exchange, Seth's voice rose above the din, his words filled with a combination of indignation and anger. His finger pointed at Horus as he shouted, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! IT WAS WOOD!" His face was contorted with fury, his entire body shaking with the intensity of his emotions.

"You... you... you dare humiliate me?" He muttered, his anger growing with each passing moment. Seth's eyes widened as he realized the gravity of the situation. He had no evidence to support his claims, and his accusations had only served to bring embarrassment upon himself.

Amid the heated conversation, an explosion rocked the arena. Seth's anger boiled over as he slammed his feet on the ground, the force of his actions causing another explosion to erupt. The shockwaves sent shivers down the spines of those nearby, and the air was filled with the ringing sounds of the aftermath.

But the commotion was quickly silenced as Ra stepped forward, her voice a whisper as she leaned in close to Seth. "Seth, you must uphold your dignity as a god," she whispered, her words carrying a weight of their own. "Getting so worked up over a mere demigod? You're making me feel embarrassed." She held his chin and turned his head to meet her gaze.

Seth's face twisted into a scowl, and he swiftly slapped her hand away. "What the hell? You stay out of this!" he shouted in anger. But Ra remained unfazed as if his actions were of little consequence to her. She continued to speak calmly, her tone measured and her eyes locked on his.

"The boat has been proven to be made of stone," Ra said with a tone of finality. "What more is there to fuss over? Are you trying to stir things up because you're embarrassed about being wrong?" Her words hung in the air like a shadow, casting a dark cloud over the previously tense atmosphere.

The tense atmosphere in the arena shifted as Ra spoke up once more, her words filled with a sense of confidence and a mischievous hint of playfulness. "Hah! No way! You'd be disqualified for foul play, and that would not only be highly dishonorable, but it would also serve to embarrass you even more," she said, a wide grin spreading across her face.

Seth muttered beneath his breath, "This old hag..." Though his words were too quiet to be heard, his tone nonetheless conveyed a deep sense of frustration and annoyance.

"There's no way the ruler of the supreme gods would stoop to such a disgraceful level," Ra said, her tone almost mocking as she folded her arms across her chest. "Right?"

Amid the heated interaction, Seth and Ra exchanged a final volley of words before moving away from one another. Seth spoke once again, his voice carrying an overtone of frustration. "Damn it, I'll let it slide this time since I'm nice," he muttered as he turned to leave. He was in no mood to argue any longer, and he wanted nothing more than to be alone.

But Ra, with her typical mischievous charm, chose not to let the moment pass without getting in one final jab. She chuckled, a light and playful edge to her tone, and turned to walk in the opposite direction of Seth. As she walked away with a twinkle in her eye, she seemed as though she had gotten the better of the situation.
