The Succession of Ra

Ah, (hero). Thank you for your help with Horus.
But you should have no business here. The gods of the Nile have chosen not to get involved.
The Bethel Egyptian branch will not seek the throne. You have nothing to fear.
Ah, (hero). Thank you for your help with Horus.
But despite that, you've killed Khonsu... without knowing anything...
There is nothing more to say. I only pray you don't come to regret the path you've chosen.
(hero)... Maybe you can help...
Yes, I think I can tell you everything.
Please, stop Khonsu...
Do you recall how he took the winged sun crest from you?
He also took Horus's head, which should have been kept safe.
I'm sure you already know. Khonsu intends to gain the power of the sun god and become "Ra."
But his aim is not the throne, nor is he doing this for himself.
He is doing this to save the life of a human. A human named "Miyazu Atsuta."

When Khonsu found the bearer of his soul, he discovered that the young girl was afflicted with an incurable disease.
I'm puzzled why he didn't simply wait for his soul to reincarnate. Instead he extended her life by giving her some of his own Magatsuhi.
But even that has reached its limit. If she can't receive any more Magatsuhi, all she can do is wait for death.
Khonsu had been searching for a way to prevent such a cruel fate.
The answer he found was to grant her eternal life, by transforming her into a god.
But Khonsu was so focused on saving her life, he has not considered whether that would actually make her happy.
As you may have guessed, the girl is Khonsu's soul. His other half.
Her body has been so filled with Magatsuhi, she is barely human anymore.
If they join and become a Nahobino, she will be absorbed by Khonsu. The individual known as Miyazu will be lost.
For those who love Miyazu, it will be difficult for them to accept this.
For that reason, Khonsu has given up on becoming a Nahobino and withdrawn from the fight for the throne.
This is something that only I know, even among the other gods.
At first I assisted Khonsu, despite his perplexing obsession with a human.
But after seeing the earnestness of the girl at his side, I began to understand what he saw in her.
That's why I don't want an ending where she will be unhappy.
Now that you've heard everything, if you believe Khonsu should be stopped, then I ask that you help me.

Thank you. Then we should hurry to the fairy village. I will go as well.
I understand. You must be thinking like the others. You think I shouldn't interfere.
I'm sorry. Please forget I said anything.
What's wrong? Could it be that you're willing to help me now?
We should hurry to the fairy village, where the girl is. I am ready to leave right away.
I have an old story to tell. If you have some time, would you like to hear it?
A long time ago, a prince met a girl suffering from a terrible disease.
The girl was desperately fighting against the cruel fate that the gods had dealt her.
The prince was moved by the girl's courage. None know what he was thinking at the time, but he took a blade, cut his arm, and made the girl drink his blood.
It turns out, the prince had a miraculous ability. He could use his blood to lessen people's suffering.
The prince gave blood to the girl every night. Slowly but surely, the girl grew healthy again.
...But tragedy came swiftly. The prince was drawn into war. For as long as he had his blood, he could not be defeated.
So the prince filled wine barrels with his blood, and ordered they be given to the girl regularly.
He left for the battlefield, but in the end, it was for naught. He did not survive.
Without the prince's blood, his soldiers fell, one by one.
The kingdom fell, but with the blood that was still left, the girl was cured.
To this day, the girl enjoys perfect health, completely unaware of the prince's sacrifice... The end.
...Well? Did you find that interesting?

Thank you. I made up the later half, but it was still a good story, no?
Oh, really? I did make up the later half. Perhaps it didn't work so well.
Would you have maybe preferred if the blood in the barrels ran out, and the girl joined the prince in heaven?
Oh, really? I did make up the later half. Perhaps it didn't work so well.
Maybe it's because I forced a tragedy into it. I do like those kinds of story developments though.
Thank you for listening. Here, this is for you.

Miyazu has inherited the power of Ra and become the pharaoh.
She's just like Cleopatra VII, also a former human from long ago.
And like Cleopatra, she has been bound to another fate... How ironic.

(hero). You ended up fighting Khonsu, didn't you? Well, I wouldn't worry—that was his intent. Thankfully, now we can truly stop him.
As with all kings of the past, the pharaoh becomes a god by joining with the god of the sun. And the catalyst for this... is the death of the previous king.

You mustn't let Khonsu die! God or otherwise, the girl will be forced to lead the life of a demon... Is that what you want!?

Yes, I apologize for my meddling. But, Khonsu, you must remember: what drew you to Miyazu in the first place?
Wasn't it her earnestness in trying to make the most of her short life, despite what limited time she had? Surely, you haven't forgotten that!

Then, with that, we'd best treat everyone's injuries! I will take Khonsu to Aaru. We won't be long, Miyazu.

Well, now, I suppose we'll be off, then. This is all thanks to your efforts. Truly, thank you, (hero).

The Falcon's Head

I wonder, could I ask you to undertake a dangerous job?
My son, Horus, is on a rampage through a place called Sotokanda.
...Could I ask you to kill my son, and then bring me back his head?

Yes. He is no longer the Horus that I know.
As long as I have that part of him, someday I can bring him back.
As he is now, Horus has lost the power of the sun. Now he is just a monster that violently wanders the land.
Soon he will lose all of his remaining divinity, and become nothing more than a common beast.
I want to offer Horus's head to the gods of the Nile. I will then wait for the rise of a new sun god.
Will you do it?

Thank you.
What? You have already defeated Horus?
I see. Then Horus's remains may be there still.
I'm sorry to ask this of you, but please find his head for me.
I shall leave it to you. I will remain here and keep watch.
Oh. I see.
I apologize for suddenly asking something so strange. There aren't many who are able to defeat Horus.
Thank you all the same. Please come see me if you change your mind.
Could it be that you're willing to help me now?
Ah, so the answer is still no.
I suppose it's natural that you would hesitate to accept such an ugly task. Thank you anyway. Please don't mind me.
Please bring me Horus's head. Thank you.
Oh, it's you. Have you made any progress?

Thank you!
This will allow us to keep the sun's favor. I never could have done it without you.
I will return to the rest of my kin now. Thank you again, and farewell.
What's wrong? Should I wait a little longer?
