Features: The peaceful oasis, slumbering in the vast desert, once nourished countless lives. The people here lived in harmony with the world, cherishing this flawless paradise. Unskilled in weapons yet fearless, for their deities guarded the tranquility of this land. Amidst lush greenery, the azure lake was once the divine's precious eye. His magnificent divine voice brought joy to all creatures here, halting storms, captivating heaven and earth, and making the sun god regard him as a cherished jewel. His deeds were celebrated by all. But overnight, as if black and white were reversed, the divine favorite became an embodiment of sin. His divine voice never ceased, yet all his merits were erased from records, all praise revoked, and all splendor turned to desolation across the land of Egypt. The god still lived. Where the Harsa Temple vanished, a dead oasis emerged, where the songs that had once saved Lin countless times now became the dirge for Anubis. What Lin couldn’t believe was that the one who sank Anubis into the oasis lake was someone she had never expected.
Ancient Egyptian myths are innumerable, but one of the most famous is the story, which unfolded over six thousand years ago, much like Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Pharaoh Osiris was killed by his brother Set and usurped the throne. Queen Isis left the sacred city of Heliopolis in search of her husband’s body. Later, she found and resurrected Osiris, giving birth to Prince Horus. Yet soon after, Osiris was killed again by his brother, dismembered, and his body parts scattered across Egypt. In the end, Horus avenged his father by killing Set-Sutkha and reclaimed the divine city, becoming the ruler of Heliopolis.
