M/n looked at Seth, who was taking whatever punishment that was being given to him. M/n looked at Maat who rolled out a scroll to give Seth his punishment. M/n couldn't help the tears falling from his eyes as he watched.
"This is a record of all the crimes you have committed. For hundreds of years, the gravity of your evil doings have accumulated to the point where they can no longer be contained by this scroll"
The scroll was long as it reached from Maat's feet to Seth's."The multitude of souls you've crushed disrupted the order of the dead and shook the foundations of Egypt, and this is just one of your many heinous crimes. However, any remaining chances to save those poor souls should not be overlooked as well. I'm not doing this for you..."
Maat glanced at M/n, she knew this was hurting M/n for many reasons."...I'm just trying to give those souls one last chance"
Ra looked at Maat as she was giving Seth a chance to save the souls."Maat, what do you think you're doing?"
Ra walked past Maat who said nothing, Thoth was in a panic as he feared Ra. Maat looked at M/n, who nodded as he knew what he had to do. He walked towards Seth and held out his hand."Seth, god of war...I, M/n god of beauty and desert, take back what once you held for me"
A bright light shined from Seth's body before it formed a ball and landed in M/n's hand. M/n looked at the ball of light as a tear fell from his eye before letting the light enter his body.'Osiris...got his wish, I had to take back the title he gave me'
M/n wanted to break down but held himself together as Maat continued with the final judgment."God of war, Seth. I shall now declare your final judgment!"
Maat got her pen as she was declaring his punishment."Seth, god of war, shall have all his achievements and praise wiped from his records...so that he may be remembered as an evil god. Seth's temple, living quarters, and offerings will be given to M/n, god of beauty and the desert"
"What?!"
Isis and many others were angered by this, but it was already in the judgment they couldn't do anything about it."Seth is an evil god who has committed a myriad of irredeemable crimes, for which he must receive severe punishment"
As Maat continued stating Seth's punishment the words started surrounding Seth."But before his sentence is carried out, I shall grant him a period of grace. During this time, Seth must do all he can to gather the crushed souls. Lift their curse, and restore order within the afterlife"
The judgment completely surrounded Seth, soon sealing his punishment."If Seth should ever hurt another soul or try to start another rebellion, the grace period will end and his sentence shall be put into immediate effect. However, should he successfully restore peace within the afterlife during the grace period, he will be exiled to the endless garden where he will be forced to work for the rest of eternity"
"Oh, Maat. You're letting his wife keep him, you sure know how to make a fool of me"
Ra mumbled as she listened to what Maat put in the judgment."If he's unable to restore order in the afterlife. The evil god, Seth, with be permanently dissolved. Evil god, Seth. As god of beauty and the desert, M/n, has taken back what was once his. You can no longer wield the power of a god, atonement is the only way for you to share M/n's power once again. Upon being demoted to a demigod, you will no longer be the god of war. You shall thereafter be banished to the greatest depths, where you can look up at the world. look back on your sins, and repent. This, the final judgment has been hereby declared...by the court of the Ennead"
Maat place her pin back in her hair and the words that once surrounded Seth went up in the air and formed a diamond. Seth's mask was gone and everyone looked at his red hair, whispering about it. M/n just looked at Seth with tears in his eyes before looking at Maat. She nodded and ordered everyone to look away, some were confused but knew of M/n's curse and did as told.
M/n removed his veil and kissed Seth, however there was one person who didn't look away. The foreign god looked at M/n's face and was drawn to him. Once the kiss ended, M/n put his veil back on and let Maat know it was safe now. Everyone looked back and saw Seth holding M/n close as this was the last time they'll see each other. Maat grabbed the diamond and looked at Seth.
"And with this, the trail of the Ennead shall come to a close"

Isis and Horus were standing on the balcony, looking at the moon.
"It's...finally over"
Isis said as she looked at the moon and the land it covered."Is it really though?"
"Yes, it is. What's your problem now? It makes me nervous when you say stuff like that!"
Horus looked at the diamond in his mother's hand."That's..."
"Even if M/n was the true holder of the power, Seth had his own too. This hold what power he had, even if I wanted Seth's soul to be dissolved. This may have been for the best..."
"You don't hate the desert after all"
"What are you talking about?! I'm just saying it could be useful in the future! Nobody actually likes the desert!"
Isis stormed away, leaving Horus alone."If M/n really is the desert...then I love the desert"
Horus grabbed one of his feathers and made a bird."Follow M/n, and protect him"
˜"*°•.˜"*°• Ennead •°*"˜.•°*"˜
M/n looked at the home he once shared with Seth before looking back at the necklace in his hand. He finished putting a protection spell on the home and other things of Seth and his. Once done with that he put the necklace on, it's to hide his power and make him appear human to others. Then he left with nothing but a cloak and the clothes he was wearing before going to where he and Seth agreed to meet.

In the basement of the temple, Khnum laid against the wall as he was out cold. Flames danced in the room as a voice could be heard.
"How could you be so foolish? Have you really forgotten who it was..."
Anubis was crying out as the curse was taking over his body."...that cut off your arm and forced you into all this pain and suffering?"
"P-please, save me...Osiris"
Anubis reached out to the shadow on the wall."Urgh....I-I don't...want to...die"
Anubis' body was trembling as the curse consumed him more."I don't...want to die..."
Plants started to grow from the ground."Alright...but will you promise not to let me down again this time, son?"
Anubis' body twitched before his eyes rolled back and the flowers started to grow more."At times, fear...is what helps you cling onto life"
The flowers started going into Anubis."Follow your desperate will to live on, and you will find salvation at the end of the tunnel...you must resent the curse that led you to death"
The stem of the flowers covered Anubis."And..."
Once they disappeared, Anubis was there wearing a mask."Come into my embrace, Anubis"
Anubis kneeled in front of the shadow, in his new body...the body of a god.
