hard spires - Khusobek - November 13, 2024 twenty-seven days after being brought back to muat-riya, near a moon of laying in silent coma, in the month of Hathor, khusobek came awake with a roar and a gasp.
he remembered only pain, only the slow stripping of hide from his body and the tacky feel of clotting blood as it poured down his side. the crocodile recalled the woman's flesh tearing and tearing beneath his teeth, the shouts. but all the remainder was blackened space. attempts to roll seethed the captain with agonized groans. his shoulders were a mass of fire. at the door, tavina whispered in a stuporous monotone; "tell pharaoh @Toula and semer-wati @Rashepses that khusobek has awakened." when they arrived, her thinned and filthy spine would be bent over the soldier, wiping his mouth and feeding him water with herbs; any entry would see tavina fade to one side, head turning so they did not see her hatred. RE: hard spires - Rashepses - November 16, 2024 At long last came the summons. Semer-wati gathered first with his wife before walking yet another circuit of the inner walls to the sesh’s chambers. Upon entering Rashepses would smell the thick air and see the captain laid across a stone plinth. For only a moment his eyes would linger upon the doctor, who moved briskly from bedside to hover against the wall. The king crossed the room. He had only look down to know how devastating Khusobek’s injuries were. Deep, terrible gashes marred the strong face– but it was no matter. The captain would make common cause with his royals, and beauty need play no part in it. “Jodai,” the golden gaze slid over his face, “Sekhmet has favored you.” RE: hard spires - Khusobek - November 19, 2024 "where are my children? where is inji?"
the captain's voice broke upon the sodden bow of disuse; he began to cough, wincing as the movement dragged at his torn flesh. hatred and awareness burned in the man's gaze as he turned it away from rashepses and up toward the domed ceilings of the cenote. his mind struggled to remember what was only a searing blankness. "and did Sekhmet grant me a victory?" or must he earn again what had been robbed in blood? RE: hard spires - Rashepses - November 20, 2024 Dry rasps punctuate yet Rashepses looks on forbearingly. The soldier’s ice eyes filled the room with a sullen cold glare but his mind was sharp still. Still strong. “Your wife and children are all well; all accounted for. The young mazoi heals safely in Akashingo. They have been waiting for you to rise, jodai.” The king bore a smile then, appraising and true. “The aggressors have fled the pass. Your daughter’s attacker slain. Pharaoh sees your determination to protect this land in its entirety; to drive out chaos and destroy falsehood. For Her jodai is constantly watchful, seeking what is most effective for Muat-riya.” Life, prosperity, health. He saw it all in the face of the captain Khusobek. “Pharaoh rewards your efforts, jodai.” |
