Word of our plight spread throughout the realm of gods, reaching the ears of those who once only dared to contemplate challenging those above them. Shu whispered in my ear during one of my falls to earth that my immortal brethren were shocked and rallied behind us—their voices raised in protest against the injustice of our punishment.

“We stand behind you, brother. Do not give up hope.” Shu’s voice began to fade before I could even fully come to consciousness, my hand tightly entwined with Khepria as we both lay on the sands.

My muscles began to twitch as I turned with a groan, covering her body with mine. She gasped for breath once she felt my weight and sobbed against me.

“Khepria,” I whispered against her as her arms wound around me. I nuzzled her sunburned neck. “Do you hear their words, my love? They are speaking of you and your courage.”

“I don’t know how you do it, Isolarel. I can’t do this anymore,” she sobbed.

I rubbed her back and ran my antennae through her hair—what was left of it.

“I wasn’t existing… not before you. I was a mere vessel for pain and now, I will fight my every breath for the moments of life I have next to you. Now, I know nothing but waiting for the chance to have you in my arms like this despite the circumstances.”

“I love you, Isolarel,” she sniffed.

“You are more than what a million deaths could take from me. You and I are one, Khepria. You live in me,” my voice cracked.

Before we could find a reprieve, the chains pulled us back to the realm of the gods where we were met by chaos. The protests grew louder, reaching the very halls of the divine. The gods, faced with the collective outcry of their subjects, could no longer ignore the injustice they had inflicted upon me. As Heliox scorched our backs, the roar of the flames loud in our ears, we were witness to everything that happened within the throne room.

The gods convened a council—a gathering of the divine beings who held sway over the realm of mortals. Time here ran differently than on earth and as our bodies scorched and burned, dropped from the skies, we landed on the floor of the throne room in a loud crash.

Groaning on the floor, I reached my hand for Khepria, grasping it as firmly as I could before we were dragged by hands and brought before the council. The gods looked upon us with a mix of curiosity and disdain, their expressions a reflection of their divine power. Anubis crossed his arms, his gaze flicking from me to Khepria and I pulled her closer to my side. Shu stood to the back of the room, his empathy bleeding through his pores as he looked at his feet.

With a shaky breath, I got to my feet and assisted Khepria to hers, putting her arm around my shoulder to help support her frail body.

Letting her courage and love fill me, I looked directly into Amun’s face as I addressed everyone around me.
