The boat dropped Isis off on the shore. She was home with her husband. But it was not the happy ending that so long she dreamt of. She opened the coffin and looked upon her beloved, but the look of death was upon him. His eyes where glazed as he dreamt the dream of death. Isis could see her reflection in his eyes and could read his last thoughts. "Isis, Sister, Wife, Queen of heaven and earth."
Isis lost once again in her grief began to twirl and dance spinning out of control, her arms became feathered wings and she began to fly around Osiris mourning him. She circled him as she did in Byblos singing and crying his name. Her dance was so passionate that her circle began to turn the wheels of time back. The ether of space and time began to cluster around Isis, who now in her darkest hour summoned all her powers. The Gates of heaven opened at her command and she began to weave a new fate for her Love. A new crown began to form, as deep in the sleep of death a gods eyes opened.
All through the night Isis Chanted his name and her love and words of Magick Life Breathe Creation Love. Breathing for her love, her hart would beat for her love. Her words where that of a sorceress, the words of The Goddess of Magick. Finally she collapsed from sheer exhaustion using all her power that very night. Isis began to dream the dream of Osiris. She saw a golden hawk come forth and make tacks in the nile mud and on the land and desert. The Hawk rose up and his wings covered all of Egypt. Then a double crown was placed upon his head.
Isis awoke to a thunderous storm, all the animals of Set where in panic. But Isis who once grieved the loss of her beloved, who once grieved at not having her own child, who once grieved at brother killing brother was now filled with joy. She felt the life within her womb. She was to be a mother of a god. Horus her brother her child. Horus twice born once in heaven now on earth. Rain came down to wash away the dirt and tears from the Goddesses face. The water washed away the look of death from the now sleeping Osiris.
But Isis wanted to bring full life to her husband and she needed time to work her magick. So it was she brought the body up to the hills and hide it in a cave. But she could not guard him so she covered the entrance with a boulder and rushed to enlist the aid of her sister Nephthys and Anubis.
