Demigods and magicians rick riordan5/25/2023 But, the thing is, the gods don’t care about mortals, even their children. I kept thinking, If I just make the right choices and prove I’m a good kid, he’ll eventually notice me. ‘Ramses was the pharaoh, of course, so most of the time he was hosting the god Horus. ‘It’s hard having a powerful dad,’ Setne continued.

I was gliding in a lazy circle now, my left wing carving the tops of the storm clouds. ‘I get it, kid.’ Setne’s voice was full of pity. Now … maybe it was just Nekhbet in my mind, or Setne toying with me, but I started to wonder if I’d made a huge blunder. I had my whole life ahead of me – assuming I could stay alive. Sure, I grumbled about the gods all the time, but I’d never regretted my decision to stay mortal. I couldn’t separate Nekhbet’s bitterness from my own feelings.
