The Serpent's Shadow, Chapter 10, 'Take your daughter to Work day goes HORRIBLY WRONG' Setne's Crimes (Pg. 191-194)
Now remember to credit @death-girl139, anything less than that would be dishonest okay?
All of the quotes are from Chapter 10, ‘Take your daughter to work day’ goes HORRIBLY wrong!!!
Disturber huffed. “You stand accused of heinous crimes! You have blasphemed against the gods four thousand and ninety-two times.” “Ninety-one” Setne corrected. “That crack about Lord Horus- that was just a misunderstanding.” He winked at Carter. “Am I right, pal?” – The Serpent’s Shadow, page 191
Disturber shuffled his scroll. “You have used magic for evil purposes, including twenty-three murders-” “Self-defense!” Setne tried to spread his hands, but the ribbons restrained him. “- including one incident where you were paid to kill with magic,” Disturber said. – The Serpent’s Shadow page 192 (Yes it confirms that Setne HAS murdered someone via Magic there.)
“You plotted against three separate pharaohs,” Disturber continued. “You tried to overthrow the House of Life on six occasions. Most grievous of all, you robbed the tombs of the dead to steal books of magic.”_ The Serpent’s Shadow page 192
“Khaemwaset, son of Ramses,” my father said calmly, “you have been sentenced to oblivion more than once . The first time you managed to plead for a reduced sentence, volunteering to serve the pharaoh with your magic-” “Yes,” Setne croaked. He tried to recover his poise, but his smile was twisted with pain. “I’m skilled labor, my lord. It would be a crime to destroy me.” “Yet you escaped en route,” my father said. “You killed your guards and spent the next three hundred years sowing chaos across Egypt.” – The Serpent’s Shadow page 193
“You were captured and sentenced again,” my father continued, “three more times. In each instance, you connived your way to freedom. And since the gods have been absent from the world, you’ve run amok, doing as you pleased, commiting crimes and terrorizing mortals.” – The Serpent’s Shadow page 193
And the moment you’ve been waiting for, regardless if the doing was Setne’s directly or he just gave accomplices the means to getting it done, what (in some part) caused World War 01!
“My lord, that’s unfair,” Setne protested. “First of all, I missed you gods. Honestly, it was a dull few millennia without you. As for those so-called crimes, well, some people might say the French Revolution was a first-class party! I know I enjoyed myself. And Archduke Ferdinand? A total bore. If you knew him, you would’ve assassinated him too.” – The Serpent’s Shadow, page 193 and 194
Point is regardless of whether or not that last deed was his doing directly or he simply encouraged others to do the deed, his influence did help to kickstart World War 01.
All that can be found on the same chapter, and thank the ones who’ve showed us the quote okay?
May this help repair the wikia’s reputation and if not, may this give us far more to work with!
