A pilgrimage is a bad time to entertain blasphemous thoughts, but here I am anyway. \n\nOsiris was unique among the gods for dying and rising again from the grave. We revered him for it, and Isis for her role in his resurrection. \n\nWhich begs the question: if we also die and resurrect here, in the land of the gods, what does that make us? More than human? Less than gods?

Blasphemous Musings

Of the nine of us who set out on this pilgrimage, seven remain. One, we lost to a deep, yawning chasm. We waited three days, but he never returned. Another pair quarreled endlessly, until one drew a sword on the other. \n\nKollauthis says this is normal, that the pressures of a long and arduous pilgrimage test the soul and bring out one’s true character. I say it’s the heat and wind, not to mention the crumbling ruins. You’d think the gods could take better care of their own temples.

The Narrowing Road

The gods found me unworthy. \n\nI know because their guardians repel me at every step. But above all else, I feel it in my soul. Any desire I had to complete my pilgrimage is gone, dulled by pain and fear and the exhaustion of constant peril. \n\nI don’t care how much shame I endure. I’m going home, and may the gods find their champion elsewhere.
