Horus’ Oracle

“Sit in this field. Close your eyes and think of nothing but what we must do to survive,” he instructed. 

He moved away to allow her to sit where he had previously been perched. Meri did as she was told and cleared her mind of everything but that question. 

Meri, a strange voice came to her mind. Her vision of a tall man with golden eyes became clear. He wore clothes that she had never seen before and a symbol inscribed on his neck.

I am Zehikari. The god who blessed your people. I must make this quick as Horus has little power left to use. In Greece the God of War, Ares, married and fell in love with a Greek warrior woman and had a daughter. Their daughter is meant to live and thrive on this Earth forever, and in this act she will keep Olympus connected to Earth. This time it is Horus’ turn. He must find one of the remaining maidens of Egypt and marry her. Their child will ensure the gods’ power returns and live alongside other children of gods, called the Morceles. Horus was responsible for cleaning up the mess his uncle had made and brought order and peace back to your people. This is why he has been chosen. Now I must go, 

Just as quickly the strange man appeared he vanished and she opened her eyes to see Horus hunched over with his spear trying to be strong.

“Lord Horus, are you alright?” she asked standing up.

“I will be fine once I send you back to your bed. What did Zehikari have to say?”

“You know it was going to be him?” she asked curiously. After a weak nod, she relayed to him what the higher god had said.
