Set Continued his anger spending most of his time in the desert gathering followers and companions in all he gathered 72. Aso a beautiful sorceress and queen of Ethiopia was among those. Her power was supposedly as strong as Isis. Aso had entered the shadow of Isis and Nephthys to discover the measurements of Osiris.
One day Isis was called to Coptos. Min the God of love and fertility and recently visited and many children where being born. Isis gathered her herbs and magick and left for Coptos. Osiris sent Anubis with Isis to guard and protect her on her journey. Osiris decided to have a party to keep his spirit up while his love was away.
Set hearing of this party and knowing that both Isis and Anubis where away he had a box made. The box was inlaid with jewels and gold, inside was a painted Nut Goddess of heaven. Aso cast her dark magick over the box, casting eternal sleep and binding spells.
As the party progressed with a crowd of merry makers dancing and singing. Fresh fruits and wine covered the tables. A messenger came for Osiris telling him that Geb the Earth God was pleased with his eldest son. Before his birth the Earth knew no happiness. Blessed be Osiris.
During the celebration Set came in with his 72 companions, dressed for war and painted up. Osiris glad to see his brother at his palace, and thinking that Set had put aside their differences embraced him. The music started again and the party continued. Then Set brought forth the jeweled box and said that if any man can fit in this box it would be theirs. Many tried but it was not to fit any mortal. Then Osiris climbed in the box and it fit him perfect. The 72 warriors of Set then quickly sealed the box shut. Osiris tried to escape but was unable. The faithful to Osiris tried to help but drunk on the wine where no match for the seasoned desert nomads.
Then They carried
the Box with Osiris in it down to the river and threw it in. It quickly
sank and was carried away by the nile. Set claimed victory and shouted
"Drowned in his own water, cut down like his own wheat. Farewell
brother King of the dead. Set returned to the party and began his
own celebration drinking his brothers wine and beating his servants.
Then he fell asleep content on his brothers bed.
