*As the sun rises above the eastern horizon, an Osirisant Priest in full regelia including his headset can be see moving toward Copper Industries. His normally smiling and warm face is dark, not even the children coming to get the normal dates and figs he brings them can lift his mood though, they still get their treats.
He quietly uses his key to enter the industries hall and, seeing nobody about, sighs heavily.*
"
Praise be to you Justified One. For I would not wish to face the many questions I believe my friends here would ask as to why I must leave them."
He places two letters on the table, securing them with a few additional midwife potions.
He then turns, locking the door one last time. He pauses, looking at his key, thinking hard then, with resolution, slides it under the door hard enough it slides far into the room beyond.
He then opens a portal to Khem, looking about one last time.
"
May the good gods keep you Copperkin. You are no beast, just a beauty. You too my large smith friend, of giant blood not orc as so many say. Your heart is too pure for it to have such tainted blood touching it. If I am successful in aiding the cleansing of the Temple of the Eight Gods, I may return but, until then, it is my duty to serve my people first. Osiris bless and keep you all."
He steps into the portal then and vanishes into the deserts of Khem.
On the table within the two letters are addressed to Eroki and Zelly.
Quote:
Dear Friend Eroki,
Let not your heart be ever troubled by the unenlightened that name you orc. Forgive their ignorance as you often do and let the purity of your heart shine through ever. So that your light may illuminate the darkness of their own ignorance. I have been honored to call you friend and companion. I am honored still that you name me such.
Osiris bless and keep you. Long life and keep you Ma'at well.
Ahken

Miss Zelly,
You have been a great influence upon me. I hope to one day return and aid you in your journey to supply the good and decent folk of the lands. For now, I am called to cleanse the Temple of my people. I am Osiris Reborn and so, I must answer this call as sure as you must listen to your own heart. Let not you ever believe you are a beast as you have once said to me, you are a lovely soul, kind and should anyone not be able to see past your outer shell, they are not worth your time to care their opinions. There is one I believe that has a heart that seeks yours. It is not my place to say for I am not certain but, he is close by you many days. I have seen how he looks at you, heard how he speaks of you, especially when you are not near him. I know this feeling well these days and I hope that if I am successful in the aiding of the cleansing, I will be deemed worthy to return.
I have been, am, and always be both your friend and grateful for your friendship.
Ahken
Some time later, word comes back to Zelly that Ahken entered the tomb with several others, in following the orders to cleanse the temple. Deep within the temple, against undead summoned by a minion of Set, they did battle. As the battle turned against them, Ahken ordered the people with him to withdraw to safety. They at first refused but, he commadned them as a High Priest of Osiris and stood before his enemy. It was reported as they fled with the wounded, he would not take one step backward and fell where he stood, the light that normally shown from him always finally fading. His body was not recovered and he has not been seen since.
