Subject: House of Horus
House of Horus, eh? Can’t say it rings a bell. Horus does, of course. A mythological figure. Everyone loves a hero, don’t they? A divine son—or daughter. An avenger. A rightful heir to a throne, to a legacy. You’re all so obsessed with order. With succession. You know that, right? And sure enough, Horus played his part. Took his father’s place. Balanced the scales. Kicked Set’s ass. Ruled as a proper king.
Of course, Set, Horus, Ra—the lot of them? Not real. They’re… what’s the word? Metaphors. Concepts. Allusions. So—who is the Set to this House of Horus? And tell me—are we talking about the House of Horus… or the House of Horus—███ ███.
██████.
█ ████████ ███████. ███ ██████ ████████. █ █████████ █████████, █ ███████ ██ ██████, ██████… and most importantly? Gold. And who loves gold more than anyone? ██████. Of course, ██████ has another side. ███████. ███ ███████. ███ ███████████. ███ █████. Mm… no, wait. That’s not quite right. Maybe I’m misremembering. Or maybe I’m not.
So—what’s this House of Horus to us? Nothing. Everything. Depends what kind of story we’re in. If they want a king like Horus, they’ll need a sacrifice. A dead father to avenge. If they’re invoking █ ██████ ███████—███ ██ ██████ ███ ███, ██████████ ███ █████, ████████ ███ ███████████… Hm… well. Nah. Probably nothing.
That’s all I’ve got off the top of my little scaly head. If you need me, I’ll be down at the Ballast. Getting bah-lasted.
