Secret Dove [ENNEAD x Female Reader] - DISCONTINUED

23

[Name] arrived in the kitchen at the late hour of midnight to find Horus cooking. She had been looking for him for some time and was pleased to finally find him. As she approached, [Name] smiled and took a seat at the kitchen counter.

"There you are," she said to Horus, who was busy cooking. When [Name] mentioned Seth and his well-being, Horus responded, "Oh... well... when you left the room, I tried to feed him but ended up being enraged and threw the food on me."

[Name] laughed at Horus' statement, understanding the frustration that had driven him to such an extreme. "Well, it's nice to see that you're not giving up on his well-being," she said, her voice full of amusement.

Horus turned to [Name], a smile forming on his face. "Of course not. I care about him," he said, his voice soft and sincere.

As they sat silently watching the food cook, they both felt the tension from earlier dissipate. They were both relieved to have reached an understanding and were happy to be in each other's presence. After a few minutes, Horus turned to [Name] and said, "Do you want to try some of this food? I think it's finally ready."

[Name], excited to try the food, replied, "Yes, of course! I'd love to." As they both sat down to enjoy the meal, the two friends shared a happy moment of companionship and goodwill.

It has been two days since Horus' and [Name]'s interaction in the kitchen, and now they find themselves back in the room where Seth stays. Seth, still dealing with a fever and wrapped in a blanket, is chewing on a slice of apple, clearly struggling to ease his discomfort.

Horus places his hand on Seth's forehead to check if the fever is still present, while [Name] remains close to Seth, seemingly providing him with some much-needed comfort. Without [Name] by his side, Seth may have become agitated, but her presence appears to have a calming effect on him.

As they all sit in the room, they are aware of the gravity of the situation at hand. They understand that Seth requires care and that they must do everything in their power to help him. Horus and [Name] are dedicated to providing Seth with the support he needs, whether that be through comforting him or administering medicine. They are both intent on seeing him back to health and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Horus suddenly spoke up, asking, "Do you like fruit?"

Seth's eyes opened at the sound of Horus's voice, and he struggled to respond. As he spoke, the slice of apple he had been chewing fell from his mouth and landed on his chest. His voice was hoarse, and it was clear that he was feeling the effects of the medicine he had been given.

"I can't taste anything because of the medicine," he answered, his words sounding weak and raspy.

Quickly, [Name] came to his side and picked up the dropped piece of apple from his chest. She then wiped the remaining saliva from his mouth. Her touch was gentle and soothing, and Seth relaxed into her embrace.

In this particular scene, Seth is lying in bed and is calling out to Horus, using a rather unconventional nickname for him. Horus is aware that Seth is known to use such humorous nicknames, and he responds with a simple, yet elegant, "Yes?"

Seth then asks Horus a rather sensitive question, which seems to have taken both Horus and [Name] by surprise. Seth queried, "...Why did you forgive me? Because you didn't lose anything?"

As they both processed the deepness of this question, [Name] seemed to feel quite uncomfortable and decided to remove herself from the presence of Horus and Seth. She muttered, "...I'll take my leave..." and walked away, leaving the two alone in the room.

In the tranquil atmosphere of the temple, [Name] had taken a seat on the balcony to enjoy the serene night. The sky was adorned with sparkling stars, and the air was filled with the soothing sounds of nature. Ruelle, who had transformed back into his human form, flew over to [Name] and took a seat beside her. Upon observing her demeanor, Ruelle cautiously inquired, "Is everything well, my Lady? You appear to have lost in thought."

With a gentle expression, [Name] turned to Ruelle and responded, "I'm sorry, Ruelle, I was simply pondering some things that are on my mind." As she spoke, she gazed at the ground, seemingly lost in her thought.

 Ruelle noticed her troubled disposition. Without hesitation, he asked, "May I entertain you, my lady? You appear to be quite dispirited today." With those words, he slipped off the white cloth that adorned the left side of his body, ready to perform his skills for [Name] should she so desire.

With great haste, [Name] interjected, "No, Ruelle, that won't be necessary. Please, put the cloth back on." She was distressed by the idea of Ruelle entertaining her in such a way, and she wanted to make sure that her wishes were respected. With a kind heart, Ruelle obeyed [Name]'s request and covered himself immediately.

Within the serene atmosphere of the temple, there is a sudden flash of lightning, and a deafening boom of thunder. In an instant, Ruelle is on his feet, holding [Name] tightly in his arms, while his khopesh appears in his hands, ready for any danger that comes their way. Ruelle's wing extends to protect [Name] further from any harm as the temple begins to collapse around them.

With quick thinking and action, Ruelle immediately lifts [Name] into the air, using his powerful wings to carry her to safety outside of the crumbling temple.

[Name] can only stare in amazement and fear as she witnesses the temple's collapse and the destruction that is leaving Hanakete, Isis' priestess, at its center. The sight is both breathtaking and unsettling, causing her to gasp in disbelief.

Without a second thought, she shouted Hanakete's name and moved towards her with haste.

However, Horus arrived before her and rushed to Hanakete. He was immediately bound by a glowing white object and struggled to break free from its grip. As he struggled, Hanakete walked towards him and said, "Horus, I must purify you. I have to break the curse that has been placed upon you."

Horus gazed at her with confusion, "Curse? What curse? I've never been cursed before. What is going on?"

Hanakete, her eyes fixed upon him, responded, "You have been trapped within the confines of a curse that has been set upon you by The Serpent of Chaos. It is my responsibility, as a High Priestess of Isis, to break this curse."

Hanekete, with a sharp gaze, turns towards [Name] and points at her, "You. You're the goddess of dreams responsible for granting rest to millions of humans. Yet, you associate yourself with Seth?" Hanekete, with a sense of disappointment in her voice, continues, "Are you also cursed? That cannot be possible!" She then lowers her hand, realizing her mistake.

Before she can even fully process Hanekete's words, [Name] raises her brow in confusion, preparing to say something in her defence. However, Hanekete, eager to free her from this presumed curse, interrupts her and states, "My lady, I will get rid of this curse."

 With these words, the High Priestess of Isis walks up to [Name], and suddenly is surrounded by the same glowing white object that bound Horus moments before.
