We started with the myth of Set killing Osiris, which did happen, but it wasn't because of a game. This is because Set found out that Anubis is Osiris son. Set very much wanted to have a child but he's unable to do so because he's actually infertile. To make him happy, Nephthys asked Osiris to impregnate her, although they did so in magical rather than a carnal way. So Anubis was conceived between Osiris and Nephthys, and Nephthys passed him off as Set's child. This is also the reason why Osiris can possess Anubis, as he was his child. Sekhmet, as is her nature as goddess of disaster, told Set the truth, hence, he confronted Osiris.

Now, this is where it gets interesting yaoi style. Osiris is the god of life, but he can't create new gods, only goddesses can do that. To fulfill his duty, he married Isis so they can procreate. Osiris is actually in love with Set, and although he let his union with Nepthys happen, he can't stand the thought of him having a child with her., and ultimately caused his infertility. He only agreed to helping Nephthys beget a child in exchange for having Set for one night

So now back to the night Set confronted Osiris, Osiris drugged the wine he has given Set so he could have his way with him as and prevent him into turning to sand to escape. He also held Anubis' soul as hostage so Set will do his bidding. Set actually loves Anubis as his own son, despite knowing he didn't father him, so he begs Osiris not to kill Anubis in exchange of doing whatever he wants. So they have sex, and Isis witnessed it.

Earlier that night, Isis confronted Nephthys after learning the truth from Sekhmet. She confessed to Isis everything and asked her to kill her, but Isis refused. This seems to be the reason why there are two Nephthys, the fake one in the dungeon and the real one in Hathor's mirror. Isis then went to confront Osiris and Set and caught them in the act. In her despair, she tried to kill Anubis but didn't went through with it. She also cursed every one with "The more you want it, the harder it is to obtain". What I gleaned from the rough translations is that Isis' ultimate goal is revenge on Osiris, Set and all the gods that turned their backs on her after Osiris dies. In fact, her real reason for reviving Osiris and conceiving Horus with him is ultimately to help her with her revenge. Whether Horus wins or not, she has prepared for war by enlisting foreign powers, Her ultimate plan is to flood the Nile and instead of just eradicating humans, she intends to include gods as well, This is also the reason why she sent Horus to have Nut's blessing instead of Geb, when the latter could have helped with his battle with Set as the god of the earth. Having dominion over the sky from Nut will save Horus when Isis floods the Nile.

Now, back to Set and Osiris after thee deed was done, Sekhmet put Osiris to sleep and help secure Anubis soul. With Anubis safe, they planned on killing Osiris. It was Sekhmet who hinted throwing Osiris in the Nile. Osiris can't be killed unless he wills it, so Set pretended to commit suicide so Osiris will follow him. Osiris may be the god of life but he can't create new gods or resurrrect dead ones, so Set smartly assumed that his obsession with him will make the god of life follow him to Duat.

After Osiris was murdered, Set became mad and very destructive. He changed from a loving father to an abusive one. One time he hit Anubis and Anubis ran away to Duat. This may be when he met Osiris and got possessed. Unknown to Anubis, Set went on a rampage when he went missing. It was during this time a young Horus went to meet him just to see for himself the god his mother hated so much. . Drunk and high on incense, Set mistook the young Horus for Anubis and became very affectionate to him, begging him for forgiveness. This was when he unwittingly passed down the curse from Isis to both Set and Anubis, with added personal terms which was to stay as his son, thus preventing them from growing and becoming Gods.

This was also the time when the young Horus fell in love with Set, as he quoted "I wanted to be the only one who loves you." Sigh, like father like son.

Horus coveted Set's love, and kept on keeping him drunk and high so he keeps receiving the love meant for Anubis. However, this causes Set to decline, so Horus decided to give up "being loved as Anubis" which counted as one of the criteria for breaking the curse , specifically "giving up something you really want". This caused him to grew into godhood, even if only partial.

Now, back to Osiris and his interferences, since tricked to die and stay in Duat, he's been trying to take Set to Duat too. Isis' ultimate revenge is for Set's soul be eaten as punishment so that he can't even go to Duat and be with Osiris

So ending stated Nephthys actually loved Osiris, considering what Osiris said that Set only love Nephthys because she enables him to be a respected familyman which differs greatly from Osiris deep burning obsessive love, I like the idea that Horus might be the first guy he will actually love as a person. He's kinda rapey tho so boohoo to that

Poor Anubis, learning Osiris is his dad probably made him give up "what he wanted most" = starting as a family all over again with Nephthys and Seth. His life is also at stake. At least we can finally see his partial god form
Also who's the hot foreign god, Bacchus?

Hngggh the welcome for Season 2 is soooo hot. Show us Horus' face demmit
