SUMMARY:
GODS OF EGYPT
The god Ra divided ancient Egypt into two parts: the fertile Nile area would be controlled by his son Osiris,
and the desert area by his son Set. Set betrays and kills his brother Osiris during the coronation of Horus.
Then he takes the source of power eyes of Horus and banishes him to the desert. Bek, a mortal thief, and
Zaya, a follower of Horus, become slaves of Set. In order to return the eyes of Horus into Horus, who is the
only being capable of defeating Set, Zaya, a servant of Set's architect Urshu, manages to convince Bek to
steal them from a secure pyramid constructed by Urshu. Bek succeeds but is only able to recover one of
the eyes; as a result, Bek and Zaya must escape after Urshu discovers of the theft. When Bek arrives at
Horus' shelter after Urshu kills Zaya with an arrow, he offers to help the god in getting his other eye back.
He asks Horus to retrieve his beloved Zaya from the underworld in exchange. They team up and soon after
being kept as Set's slave, the goddess of love Hathor, the lover of Horus, decides to rebel against him.
Horus and Bek were in the desert when Set's hunters arrived riding enormous fire-breathing serpents to
chase them. After they have defeated one hunter, Hathor arrives and helps throughout the killing of the
other hunter and its serpents. They are joined by Hathor in their quest against the evil Set. The three keep
on going. They need to solve the Sphinx's riddle in order to enter the vault and retrieve the second eye.
They approached Thoth, the god of wisdom. Bek manipulates his ego to get him to assist them. He follows
the other three as they reach the Sphinx. Thoth answers when Sphinx recite the riddle. His third and last
response is right, but his first two guesses are wrong. They found the eye, but until Set himself appears,
Bek is getting ready to spill the water to stop him. He stole Thoth's brain and manipulated Bek. Set went to
Ra's home to express his anger. He criticized his father's test. Ra wished Set to battle Apep on his behalf,
but Set instead engaged Ra in a duel and stole Ra's spear, impaling him. Set puts Ra into edge, allowing
Apep to emerge and start tearing through Egypt. Bek accepts a bracelet from Hathor to give to Zaya.
Anubis brings Bek to Zaya to give her the bracelet, but Apep's arrival means the afterlife gate was going to
seal. Horus and Bek reunite when Bek returns to the mortal world. Meanwhile, Nephths' wings, Thoth's
brain, Horus' eye, and Ra's spear are added to Set's armor as upgrades. Horus transforms into his falcon
form and joins Set in battle. Bek and Urshu are fighting as they cross the top of the pyramid. Bek manages
in obtaining the eye to Set's armor. Bek throws Horus the eye, but the god decides to help Bek by falling
against the pyramid's side. Horus flies up to fight Set until it is weakened after bringing Bek to safety. Set is
permanently destroyed by Horus after he impales him with Ra's spear. To recover and return his spear,
Horus flew to Ra. Horus receives his eye back from a young girl, and the Egyptian populace cheering him.
Horus then approaches Bek just before he passes away. He placed his dead body next to Zaya. Horus is
visited by Ra, who thanks him and claims to owe him a debt. Ra uses his ability to revive Bek and Zaya.
Then, Thoth and Nephthys are brought back to life, and Horus is officially crowned king of Egypt. Horus
then decides to go and save Hathor after taking her bracelet. Bek, who is now Horus' adviser, is placed in
charge of making sure Egypt is left in good hands.

MORAL LESSON
The moral lesson I took away from the Gods of Egypt was to not be greedy. Greed may
temporarily make you happy, but in the long run, it will cause you to lose everything you
own. Do not abuse your authority or use it to criticize others. Be a leader, not a boss; a
leader cares about the people he represents and avoids tampering with others' property.
The story taught me that even if we have all made mistakes and should all be given another
chance, it is still crucial to trust one another.
