THE LONELY CITY - DAY 1
Steven's gone, I think I'm cured. He's been a part of my life since I was a kid, it's weird not having him around. My thoughts are quiet.

Khonshu's gone, too. And I have some sort of administrative job at City Hall. I finally have a regular life.

Fillory and Further in our world, but yeah, similar sort of theme. The books are super not what it's really like there. You're going to love this: a magic knife would cut who should be High King. Knife chose Eliot. Everyone else was chosen by Eliot. But really, all of that was fairytale bullshit that Ember and Umber came up with ages ago. Ember and Umber were the gods who created Fillory.

In a version of purgatory?

So, they go around slicing everybody to see who bleeds? Or what? The knife comes to life and attacks the qualified person when it comes into its presence.

Ember and Umber. Steven would be excited to know more about them. When he shows up again, try to remember to bring it up.

Speaking of which, Steven would know much more details about the Duat, but I guess basically yes? It was sort of like the way to the Egyptian afterlife, which they called the Field of Reeds. You're sailing on a ship across sand, and if your heart doesn't balance then you go overboard and become part of the sand. [...] ~~I really miss Steven~~

	Not a lot of Children of Earth go to Fillory, so when they do, Fillorians end up finding them and going through that particular ritual. It changes. Yeah, I used to be really into Egyptology as a kid. I think everyone goes through that phase. Some grow out of it, some down. Most of the gods we've dealt with are Greek pantheon, or fairly random.
