Upon The Horizons

Caramel ears swiveled just enough to take in the sound of claws over stone. The ivory godlet shifted his dual colored gaze to the shadowy form that appeared from the moonlight. His voice did not disturb the quiet of the night, it shifted and blended in to the surroundings as it reached Thoth’s ears. He had seen the boy admiring the view, but added caution to the beauty. The duality of life. You could find beauty in horror and horror in beauty, the balance persisted through all paradox.

”Your concern is appreciated,” The boy returned in hushed tones as alabaster paws retreated from the edge. He wondered if the man had meant he might fall here, or if he was trying to speak of the larger scope of life. One wrong slip, you could lose your life. Here literally you would lose your life. If you slipped in to darkness though, when the time came for your heart to be weighed against the feather of truth you hoped you hadn’t slipped too far.

He mentally shook the thoughts of Ammit from his mind, better not to think of the heart devourer whilst trapped here in the mortal realm. ”You don’t sound like you’re from here.” Of course Thoth didn’t either, despite being the god of language he still held on to his egyptian accent.
