Her heart is weighed to determine if she's a threat to mortals and gods... but the scales indicate she's stuck between chaos and order. And that means she can kill gods. Heba's sent to a limbo halfway house where she's given one chance to balance her heart or face Ammit's Second Death. But even beyond death there are horrors that feed off pain, and soon a monster of chaos invades the halfway house hunting for her heart. With a 'lucky-cat' daughter of Bastet, and a dangerous son of Set at her side, Heba must learn to protect herself and survive. **FIRST DRAFT** + SHORT CHAPTERS + INCLUDES DIGITAL DRAWINGS + POLLS AFTER EVERY CHAPTER + WEEKLY UPDATES Follow the story in real time. 👻✌️💀

These are just small pieces of our days. Bus rides, cold mornings, the kind of talk that slips out without any plan behind it. Nothing big. Nothing that would matter to anyone else. Just the things we noticed before they faded. I wrote them down here because, well... if I didn't, they'd vanish quickly like a wave of the sea does. One moment they're right in front of you, and then they're gone, tucked somewhere in the past where you can't reach them anymore. Maybe putting them here doesn't save anything, not really. But it lets me look at them for a little longer. All I can do is catch them for a moment - the light, the voices, the way the city feels when it breathes - and leave them on these pages. These stories were ours. These quiet seconds, these almost-forgotten scenes. But, it doesn't matter because they belonged to us for a moment. And now, they belong to you for a moment too. PS: I'll release this on Royal Road! Stay tuned! :D
