Secret Dove [ENNEAD x Female Reader] - DISCONTINUED

E I G H T E E N

[Name] opened her eyes to find herself in a vast, white void, surrounded by small, black particles floating around her. In the distance, she noticed Seth, who seemed to be struggling as the particles formed around him. Determined to reach him, she moved forward, but as she took a step, she felt her limbs restrained by thick black chains.

"Seth! Seth!" [Name] cried out to her friend, struggling against the chains that held her back. Seth, however, was so preoccupied with his struggles that he failed to notice her calls, continuing to battle the forming particles around him.

As Seth's figure began to dissolve into a black entity, [Name] felt a surge of fear and panic overtake her. She fought with all her might against the chains that bound her, and just as she was about to give up, they fell apart, freeing her from their grasp.

Quickly rushing over to Seth, [Name] placed her hand on his back, trying to anchor him to the plane of existence they now shared. Seth's form continued to deteriorate as [Name] tried her best to hold onto him, to save him from the clutches of whatever evil was consuming his essence.

As [Name] watched with bated breath, Seth gradually returned from the clutches of the black particles that had enveloped him, his once faded form soon gaining back life as he returned to his original self. To her amazement, she observed a white figure, bearing a striking resemblance to the goddess Nephthys, hold his hand in comfort.

[Name], overcome with emotion, let out a deep sigh of relief and wiped away the golden tears that flowed down her cheeks. "Seth's going to be okay," she whispered to herself.

As [Name] and Seth regained consciousness, she found herself holding him safely in her arms, the two of them lying on the ground. Tears of golden light began to flow from [Name]'s eyes, and as she cried, Seth gently wiped them away. His warm smile brought her comfort and calmed her shaken soul.

Ruelle, in turn, who had been defending them from Seth's followers, found himself covered in blood, but without a single trace of injury. The bodies of the fallen individuals lay all around him, their deaths due to the vines that had sprung from the ground.

As the man who had been standing outside moments ago approached, he spoke in a dry, raspy voice, his body having transformed into the appearance of a mummy. "I've been waiting, Seth," the man announced, his words directed at the young deity. He turned his gaze to Seth's followers and spoke once more, "Look at that - you're in better shape than I expected, thanks to this little miss here." He gestured towards [Name], who was still cradling Seth in her arms.

Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from outside, sending a shockwave through the surroundings. Screams of pain could be heard outside, and Seth's followers began to fall one by one. The mercenaries, hidden from view, continued their assault on the helpless individuals, releasing a barrage of arrows that caused havoc and destruction.

Upon hearing Seth's revelation, [Name] flinched, her heart heavy with guilt and embarrassment. As Seth sat up from her embrace, he spoke once more, his tone filled with confusion and surprise. "It appears that my orders have been followed quite efficiently... However..." His voice trailed off, and his eyes fell upon the vines that had grown around them, their branches reaching out like grasping hands. "What in the world... these vines were not here before..."

"Vines..." the man's gaze shifted to Seth's hand, his tone filled with curiosity. "Are you holding an object given by Osiris?" he enquired, a slight smirk forming on his face.
