⁞☥⁞ ‘you are neither exemplary nor born with an aptitude of the divine however i shall allow you to accompany me nonetheless simply because.’ don’t allow him to fool you, he absolutely takes an interest in others it merely takes time.

⁞☥⁞ ‘you seem somewhat capable.’ however, even an omnipotent god is not omniscient. at times it seems even mere man can make a miracle, thus it may be possible to say such in this world just as it is possible to truly impress him should one honestly endure their trials and the pristine ego in which he perseveres.

King Ramses the second ordered to engrave these temples in the rock, to honor the gods, and to be worshiped himself.

Not just to worship but to celebrate the victory of the battle of Kadesh.The biggest one dedicated to King Ramses II, and the small one but still huge is for Ramses II’s wife “Nefertari,” his favorite wife.

@racarnate​

It was the first time she’d gone outside in days, with the promise to regularly message her Master. Streets of an everyday sight had a jarring disconnect, like the environment around had changed. It was the same feeling as when she’d been through the gauntlet of Lostbelts in a single night. Golden had been the ward she had called home when Spirale was new territory, and it was somewhere she returned to when her busy had become noisy. Like chasing a yesterday innocence that wasn’t coming back.

311. The seabreeze just as before. Her destination had been the vacant beach, but recognizing the neighbour of her previous residence had put that aside: the Pharaoh who’d the confidence and strength to stand up against the entire world if need be. “Ozymandias—?“

[racarnate]

golden, perhaps a ward to truly call his own! for if he were truly cast to the maw of ammit the very least the hands of these island ‘stars’ in divines could have spared in kind; his radiance no less. surely it is of no contending with egypt itself and merely paling in comparison however with time shifts the sands of change. ozymandias ventures forth perhaps a touch more every so often when the time of day so permits it. many faces still yet unknown to him although with the rise of his name sure as that of the sun itself of his lofty gaze does turn. 

who dares call to the god king in an urgency that could only be so sudden? hoh!

another servant or shall he say, a servant. for the shackles of master and subservient could never hope to hold him when all that is and all that becomes of this world is under his command after all. to this still he would say that the absolution of the world remains his alone and the one to save it would be him! although his master does boast recognition enough to do so in assistance at his side if not having earned his guidance and approval nonetheless. still, he finds sentiment in the presence of familiarity; the stars have granted him this much.

❝ hah! as if there is any doubt! step forth and bask in my presence proper! long has it been since our last encounter and so i will permit it. mashu, wasn’t it? you have fared well i hope? ❞

[racarnate]

⁞☀⁞ @ostiumtenebris​;

ah, this presence. enough to beg halt of his own mind, his own absolute insurmountable being for that of.. another? inconceivable by nearly any means -- all rests within the power of the pharaoh after all but perhaps this one is of the same glory as he. blessed be o’child of the sun! written into the very heavens with the stars in astral guide.

thus spoke the god king both mighty in his works as he was reaping that of his most tenacious adversaries in despair: there is nothing beyond my grasp for the light cannot exist without!

he would gaze upon the other with this same splendor, radiance of ra and nothing but as hands grace the gold of hips in a manner most expectedly. another born of the sky, some sense of presence he believed truly would never be felt again.

❝ you there! the light does not lie and so i have sensed such with you. a pharaoh from another time perhaps? fellow child of the sun nevertheless! ❞

—✕ █ ▌❝I hope you ENJOY pumpkin, because there's going to be a lot of that around here for the next few months.❞ Loghain doesn't know if the other seems so stern and sour because it is his nature, or if he just really doesn't enjoy gourds. After all, Loghain stands side by side with a man adorning himself with more jewels than Maric did during his ENTIRE life, a man who may not have even looked at a pumpkin spice latte before this day —- ❝It's a bit too much for me, personally, but at least it's ONLY an autumn sort of thing.❞

[racarnate]

perhaps his distaste comes as solitary at best however these pumpkins fashioned with a semblance to that of traditional gourds bodes unwell for himself. loathe as he is to simply try this beverage even one who holds himself to impossibly high standards has been known to lower himself many a time be it for the sake of the precious masses or his master. still, ozymandias does turn the absolute uncertainty of his golden gaze towards the cup in presentation, steam still riding ever adamantly from just beyond the rim where an almost deluge toned liquid frothed with milk resides just beneath, lower lip curving in some manner. had he known the cafe would be teeming today perhaps he would have sought out another establishment to pass his time.

❝ then you would be none bothered by my dismissal should i deem this so called autumn specialty less than pleasing. i have gathered mixed opinions nonetheless. although change is not always regarded a good matter i suppose it can’t hurt. very well then... i shall give a fair try. ❞

✧*:･ﾟ| ❝YOU seem as though you could use a drink.❞

THE scientist does not hold back any thoughts from his busy mind, not does he choose to shy away from engagement. While the other individual's gold adornments seem to be all but DULLED by the atmosphere, Siebren himself feels as radiant as the stars in the inky darkness above. He finds no fault at all in his own attempts at conversation, for however friendly he is, Siebren could also be ...remarkably thickheaded towards obvious cues.

❝YOU have the look of someone who is new here,❞ he explains, seated midair and fiddling idly with his own half drunk flagon. ❝I can't say that it wouldn't be DAUNTING to see the city in its natural state within the next few weeks, but at least this little event is a nice and friendly one.❞

[racarnate]

ah, seem. such a sadly burdened understatement. were it that he had not already downed his second chalice perhaps ozymandias would be most willing to simply partake in another. however given such a ‘slump’ as the people so call it he finds himself not at the center of all grand celebration but tucked almost regretfully into one of many corners of that elaborate castle furthest from. if only. something of a sigh is almost ushered forth if not for choosing to simply stall his breath in wake of such company. sudden yet not entirely unwelcome. this man was all but thankfully unsuitable in comparison to a vast majority of the remaining partygoers and as fate so certainly deigns such could always be worse.

however undecided if this stranger’s statement finds him able to bask in amusement or some further sense of self loathing is yet to be determined. nevertheless those previously immovable shoulders do finally square and he regards the other levitating -- yes levitating within midair so plainly before him with new peace of mind. a single brow lifts and despite his soured disposition doused with acknowledgement nonetheless.

❝ hn, i suppose with such a forward statement regarding my own predicament that you are not? new, that is. gatherings of the peaceful degree must be a reprieve then. shame. the islands may have been that much more amicable if it were all not so seemingly but a simple game to our dear captors, no~? ❞

KV17 - tomb of Seti I.

[zhengqide-deactivated20211117]

@racarnate​​ Wishes to make a new contract (one without masks and fae lol)

Some time past the vanishing of the odd palace festival, which still seemed such a blur upon the archons mind albeit not forgotten entirely. How could such a night be culled into the fervor of a past self’s rashness? Alas, even such a night masked and adorned with magicks could not escape the iron-clad memory of the Geo god. In such a stead Zhongli had resolved him self to better learn about this place, perhaps by some chance of fate or the stars that brought him here would cross paths with the one who adorned such a similar face as his own.

And toward he would be correct. As guessed despite the multitude of people it wasn’t hard to find their usual patterns and ministrations due to the hour of the day. With hands laced behind slender back, and amber tipped locks brushing in the breeze during his walk such luck seemed to fare upon his side. 

« I had begun to wonder if you were some trick of the party. One who bares such a striking twin to mineself. I am pleased to see that it wasn’t just some ploy of the fairies to see how we would react. » He would smile softly unsure if the version of this man at the party was indeed the same as outside of it. For himself he had garnered the position of his youth. That arrogance and pride in his power- supplemented with war and goal. It had bred a violent god– one who was not the same today. Yet only one can hope such tides changed for the King who could share his face.

[racarnate]

to bare himself in such a way taints even his indomitable light and this makes even he, ozymandias, able to be touched. a realization he is neither fond nor proud of for in the divine tidings of being pharaoh one is considered pristine forthright and such is to be pharaoh! where a night to remember becomes yet one to be eternally cursed the king of kings mulls such possibilities. to think that his perfection was so deeply scarred beneath indeed. heavy swept within passing winds his attention cast far beyond horizon’s edge glistening with sapphire sea sheen. only towards the blessed radiance of the sun does he look even if it were as whisperings of others had mentioned something ephemeral in all semblance until another calls to him and begs attention.

ah, this one he remembers well. hard pressed to simply forget your own face after all, yet curiosity still beckons like that of a sweet siren song nonetheless. even amidst celebratory hours some mentions do remain to be rightfully told; this transient being before him supposedly of shapeshifting origins particularly. how ironic indeed, a hand raising to gesture towards the chair just across from him where it seems they would sit around but a simple table and take pleasantries in conversation yet again.

❝ hah, you think with such a simple ploy that i would be so easily vanquished? powers or not my form is absolute! in that i am pleased as well to see the one who dons my face and similar radiance remains equal in this way. given all enchantments from the evening seem to have long since worn off i suppose we can conduct ourselves in a proper manner and you may bask in my company henceforth. what say you~? ❞

“Ma’at was the Egyptian conception of the world as it should be. Ma’at was both an ideal to strive for and the proper way of doing things. It was the supernatural aspect of the world, as well as a social code of behavior. To live according to ma’at was to contribute to the protection of the world from chaos and disorder. To enact ma’at in your daily behavior was to improve the world and to stem the waters of chaos that surrounded creation.”

smile for the camera .

     CLICK   &   A  FLASH ,          camera  roaring  to  life  with  but  a  brilliant  sound ,   nigh  blinding  light ,   then  returns  to  null .   had  his  model  not  noticed  his  ministrations  previously ,   they  certainly  have  now .        ❝   ah ,   my sincerest apologies .   ❞     sings  a  man  neither  sincere  nor  apologetic .

&   the  photographer  is  hardly  one  to  apologize  for  where  one  soulful  laid  for  him  to  forever  engrave  into  MEMORY ,   so  what  else  is  there  for  him  to  do  but  give  le  beau  monsieur     briefest  glance  in  admiration ?   it’s  a  sly   &   quiet  move ,   pulling  the  corners  of  his  lips  in  a  smile .

    ❝  you must understand …   could barely tear my eyes away .   ❞

something akin to unmatched brilliance ( be it far if not his very own ) flashes within the depths of his vision but for a fleeting moment. ah, despite all attention proper garnered to the likes what curious assortment of wares accompany the many stores to adorn this particular ward like that of possessions most priceless ozymandias would cast his gaze ‘pon the one who addresses him just so; as they surely should.

although something feels amiss with their little chance meeting may he digress if even for some semblance of blessed reprieve. the other was so inclined to capture his very essence with his... contraption, was he? a bold feat without given permission most assuredly however the king contends with a smile of his own whilst protruding that golden ego none the less. one concern remains -- will he make this worth tearing his time and attention from that which ozymandias first sought just beyond the windowpane?

❝ heh. of course, for my being is the most splendorous of all. to gaze upon me is to look up to the sun itself! however make certain that your admiration does not wither to foolishness. even beggars go blind should they look upon the pharaoh long enough. now then, what business have you with the king of kings~? ❞

ancientegyptdaily​:

It is believed that the axis of the temple at ABU SIMBEL was positioned by the ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that on October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the sculptures on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, a god connected with the realm of the dead, who always remained in the dark.

It is logical to assume that these dates had some relation to a significant event. In fact, according to calculations made on the basis of the heliacal rising of the star Sirius (Sothis) and inscriptions found by archaeologists, this date must have been October 22. This image of the king was enhanced and revitalized by the energy of the solar star, and the deified Ramesses II could take his place next to Amun-Ra and Ra-Horakhty.

Because of the accumulated drift of the Tropic of Cancer due to Earth’s axial precession over the past 3 millennia, the event’s date must have been different when the temple was built. This is compounded by the fact that the temple was relocated from its original setting, so the current alignment may not be as precise as the original one. [X]

[pridefulsuggestion]

build me a temple, leave your offerings at the altar, and my good will may shine upon you.
