How It All Goes Down
The House Is in the House
- Carter and Set fight. It feels pretty awesome to Carter.
- Carter smashes a hole in the ceiling, grabs Set, and forces him into the form of a fruit bat. Then he turns himself into a falcon and carries Set out into the open.
- Set returns to his warrior form, and tells Carter that he's too late.
- As Carter looks around, he sees the magicians of the House of Life engaged in battle with the demons. There aren't enough magicians, though, to take down the pyramid.
- One magician launches himself at the pyramidion, and Carter realizes that it's Desjardins. He looks like he'll succeed in knocking down the capstone, but then Set takes a swing at him with his staff, and Desjardins tumbles down, unconscious.
- Carter starts up the fight with Set again, though Horus's senses are telling him that they only have about two minutes until dawn. Set knocks Carter down and places the capstone on top of the pyramid. He declares that there are only thirty seconds left until dawn.
- Crowing with success, Set tells Carter that there's no way they'll beat him—not in the desert, the source of his power.
- You're right, says a voice… it's Sadie! She rises above the pyramid, lit up with multicolored light.
- Sadie goes on to say that Horus is not alone, and they will not fight him in the desert. Then she strikes her staff against the pyramid and shouts a name Carter wasn't expecting to hear.
