Horus

the falcon whose eyes are sun and moon

air

Horus fought long years to reclaim the throne stolen from his father and gave up an eye in the struggle; to dream of him is to be asked whether you will keep rising, wounded but unbeaten, toward what is rightfully yours.

Fragments

In the long war for the throne his uncle tore the eye from his face, and Thoth had to gather its pieces and make it whole again.

He soars so high the whole two-lands lie small beneath him, one eye the burning sun and the other the cool watching moon of the night.
