Two Eyes Cenote When I said leave me alone, this isn't quite what I meant

sen out!

senmut became nothing in this moment.

it was the shrinking of a man who knew his true place in the face of divinity, and when rashepses strode among them to issue commands of his own, the erpa-ha found himself divested of all nobility.
