look away from the sky
Thoth’s eyes blinked longingly at the sun for only a moment more as he remembered how negatively looking directly at the chariot effected his mortal body. If he had been cast here in this mortal plain had the rest of the heavenly host? Apopthis? Osiris? Ma’at?
Graceful strides carried the boy through the young trees, Though none of them were older than ten or so years. He wondered what might have happened to create a forest of red bud trees. Knowledge. Always learning, always thinking, always remaining in balance. Thoth chanted to himself as he lost himself in thought. Paws moved of their own volition as he seemingly visited with realms not of this world.
Directly in front of him, similar golden gaze upon him, she stood regally. He blinked back his surprise, his tear lines glinting from the rays breaching the red buds. She held the familiar lines of egyptian lineage, her large ears and eyes with a luxurious tail trailing behind her. The brass of her coat so similar to the desert colors thrown from Ra’s seed.
His gaze widened in surprise and admiration of her and the jewelry adorning her form. The young boy came to a halt, speechless in his mortal form. He dare not let his gaze remain for fear of seeming rude, the boy found his wits and lowered his head in a respectful gesture.
”Apologies, I wasn’t paying attention and had no intention of intruding.” He offered his excuses and backed a step away, he wanted to spur on a conversation but only if he was invited into her presence.
She drew more near as well, silent as she awaited a reply to her cryptic words. His long this tail waved slightly at his ankles as he struggled to decide what kind of answer she wanted. Was she another of Ra’s children, an ally? Or was she a hunter, for it seemed Ra had no shortage on enemies, especially in his children.
”A child of Ra?” He managed to ask in his whisper like voice.
