Post #9 My Myth Retold

When I was young, I discovered all of the wonders of the wild. I learned a lot from my mother, she was fast, and I learned how to follow the ways of animals. I loved the desert dogs. I loved their intelligence and stealth, I learned the most from them. They were loving animals, respectful. They didn't kill strong or healthy animals. I was never ugly about death, I learned that from them. But they also ate corpses. That was the one brutal thing about them. They brought me to death as I followed them and studied them, that's why I announced to my mother Nebet Hut and father Set that I was going to Duat to preside over the dead. I took the form of a desert dog, well just my head. But I was black, not gold, symbolizing death. But black also symbolized fertility and that directly ties into death. I ruled Duat successfully until my father Set killed my uncle Usir for no reason. It affected me greatly, but I waited for his soul and embalmed him myself. I allowed him to take over as the ruler, but I did not do it in spite. I was a roaming desert dog who held the justice scale for souls, and ruling the underworld was a lot for me to take on. Instead I became the patron for orphans and lost souls. I felt at ease with them, like it was where I belonged.

Post #8 Resolution

The end of this myth is a happy one. I allow my uncle to take over, I actually encouraged it and I'm grateful when he did because it is hard to prepare and judge souls, and be the ultimate ruler on top of all of that. I became the patron for orphans and lost souls. So really everything worked out in the end.

Post #7 Climax

The climax of this story is when my uncle Osiris dies and comes to Duat and his soul is judged by me. I meet him as his soul enters Duat. I embalm him after the process is finished and he becomes the ruler, we live peacefully in Duat with me judging souls and roaming the graveyards as a Jackal.

Post #6 Conflict

The conflict in this story is my father killing my uncle. Set killed Osiris for no particular reason, and it affected me a lot. I embalmed my uncle and met his soul in Duat. He wanted to become the supreme ruler of the underworld, so I graciously allowed him. Now my uncle Osiris rules Duat, and I am the God of Mummification. Everything worked out for the best.

Post #5 Characters

Anubis (Inpu)
I am young in the myth when I first go to Duat. I turn into a jackal, but with black fir instead of the normal golden color. My fur color is black because black is the color of the Underworld but also because its the color of the soil and that symbolizes fertility and life.



Nebet Hut
My mother loved me quite a bit. She taught me how to be stealthy and cooperative. She was not surprised the day I told her I wanted to go to Duat and rule the underworld. She was proud of me and I loved her a lot. She is the goddess of mystery and kept many secrets.

Set
My father Set is the goddess of chaos and anarchy. He killed my uncle Osiris for no reason, and I was very distraught and confused about it. But when my uncle died I met his soul and embalmed him myself. My father was not a kind man. He was very cruel and caused maelstroms everywhere.

Osiris(Usir)
My uncle Osiris came down to Duat and I embalmed his body. I eagerly allowed him to take my place as ruler of the underworld. I had no negative feelings toward my uncle.

Post #4 Setting


The setting of this myth takes place in Duat, our Egyptian equivalence to hell. Duat is the underworld of Egypt. It was before I took over as the head of the underworld. Duat is not a happy place where souls go to suffer for all of eternity. It was were I presided over the dead. That day I decided I wanted to judge souls so I took over as the master of the underworld.
