“Whoever brought us here had an amusing sense of irony.” Thoth said with a shake of his head. “They call themselves Israeli now, but this body is Hebrew. I find it an interesting sense of cosmic balance to put one of the Egyptian judges in the body of a slave.” He wrinkled his nose a bit as he said that before he shook his head again. “Samuel dislikes being called a slave.” He added with a soft chuckle.
“We are the only three that I have discovered. You’re only recently arrived or awakened, Seshet isn’t awakened, the others might be here, we just haven’t come across them yet. The city does have more than 14 million souls. That is more than even the Lords of Ma’at can scan at any given time, even if we had our powers. You chastise your vessel for being impatient, Ma’at, but you are as well. Be patient and calm, together we will be able to figure this out.”
“Samuel is less than pleased you are talking about taking your vessels rights away. He is a firm believer in equal rights for everyone. And yes, he does often disagree with me about our differing views of balance. It is hard to explain sometimes to him that an action he might take to help someone will hurt more in the long run.” Another shake of his head as he took another long sip of his coffee. “He finds it hard to follow such things, because he doesn’t know how to see larger pictures like we do.”
“Seshet understood them better.” She was the goddess of wisdom, after all, and he was of knowledge, it was why they got along so well for so long. “But, I would never deny you and me, Ma’at. If Seshet awakens, we will be that much more powerful. The Greeks and Norse were never that organized, I won’t even speak of the Romans. But, if we find others, we will be a force again, Ma’at. Maybe then, we can discover the cause of all of this, and bring balance back to this world, and return to ours to right whatever wrong was done in our absence.”
