Chapter 45: Isfet and Ma-at

Lakis, amidst the confusion between Casandra and Set, grasped the staff of Isis from out of Casandra’s hand. As Set threatened her, he used his remaining strength to raise the staff and strike Set. As he wielded the staff, he felt a sudden surge of strength and power running through his body, which gave him the power to catch Casandra as she fell. He gently rested her on the ground, where her father ran over and held her. Lakis flew back to the skies to fight Set. He realized that this was the best way to make atonement for his crime against Casandra. He would fight off this monster and show her how much she means to him.

“I know you,” hissed Set and they struck blow after blow at one another with their staffs. “You are her husband.”

Lakis could not help but laugh at this remark and said, “No, she is the reincarnation of the goddess, Isis. I am just a street thief.”

“You are a fool, indeed,” Set simply responded.
