Hey, ReSet.
I have a request for you. To this point you have been opposed to us directly, and have been a thorn in our sides, as we have been in yours. We have killed your members and you have killed ours. Now that you have achieved your goal at the cost of an artifact of your god I have a proposal; We will return Anubis’ sword to you should you return the Osiris Right Hand to the Pyramid of Osiris in The Land of the Damned.
We understand that you would be taking your lives in your hands should you choose to do this, but continuing to face off against CrIsis does the same. We have killed more of you than you have killed of us. You always leave with your tails between your legs, and even this time, we killed two for the exchange of one.
You will be losing more and more of yourselves as you continue to strive against us. You may get another piece, but let’s be honest: the only reason you got this piece was because of luck. ReSet, you are outmatched. Welcome to the hell of your life. You will be striving against us, dying as you strive, and if you are really lucky the stars may align again and allow you to take another piece of Osiris.
I have news for you however; There are only six pieces of the god in this realm. Ten pieces of the god have been returned to temples. We have seen him, and he now has Lungs. He will begin to speak out once again. He has his member. He has his strength. You thought to stop us at the temple in Credia and thought that you had all but won.
You didn’t yet realize that you have all but lost. When we finish the God, you will be killed as your reward. Why not spend your lives in a better cause? When Osiris is the judge of the dead, when people get their just rewards, would you prefer to have guilt on your soul leaving you under the control of Anubis for the rest of eternity, or would you prefer to be in Ma’ip?
I can’t promise you that one act will change your outcome, but it is your only hope.
We’re not asking for you to join us in the light, but we are asking you to meet us halfway. That is what balance is in reality. You are evil, CrIsis is good and we can work together when need be. You’re allowed to be as evil as you like. It is your choice. That is the choice we seek to protect.
You have taunted us in the past. You have tried to force something with us, and have attacked us at our weakness…and yet continued to lose. You believe that it is only a matter of time before you get more pieces. I have news for you: since you started attempting to steal a piece from CrIsis we have deposited no less than four pieces in pyramids.
You haven’t yet realized this, but you have lost. We’re just nailing you in your coffins. Now is your last moment, your last hope, your last chance to make something of yourselves other than abject failure.
Hannah, the biggest Member of CrIsis…or at least the rider thereof.

Big words from such a little thing! Was telling ReSet how much of Osiris has been recovered a tactically sound idea? And who, exactly, does she mail this letter to? Does ReSet have a home address?
How did you know Xerx’ses was planning on doing this very thing with the sword!?!?!?!
Uh-oh! Pride goeth before the fall. One thing, my dear, you have not considered in your surrendering letter, is that we do not need all the pieces for Lord Anubis to win. We only need ONE. The rest are mere distractions to flitter your fancy.
I fear you underestimate the reaches of Anubis. You think that ReSet is all that serve the Death-Lord. Look around the meager fire that you are sitting around now reading this letter. Look to your right; now your left. All whom you see will succumb to His power. Death is his realm. None can escape it. You may prolong it time and time again, but eventually even your gods have to let their champions slip through their fingers. They can not hold you forever…but Anubis can, dear child.
Know this. One piece thrown to the most remote places of the universe is all it takes. Our historians have looked back through CrIsis own history. Your predecessors were not from this world…they were from a world more vast and terrible than our own. And that is a mere fragment of the endless places that we can place the one piece! You will not win, you cannot win!
The only thing your skein god will be able to do with his new found lungs, is say his parting goodbyes with your names as you fall, just as Raulf the Weak did and depart this life to be embraced by your new king, Anubis ek Anupu ben-Osiris. He shall be wearing the Crown of Atef. And he will sit upon His throne to judge you. To those whom opposed him, he shall diminish their eternities to dwell among the tormented. To those whom support his cause, shall he elevate in the eternal spheres.
Do you truly know the stories, CrIsis? Do you know how Osiris was dismembered? Did you know that his pieces he gifted to his son of Nephthys. You have thought they were stolen? Wrong, dear CrIsis. Osiris gave them of his own freewill to the Lord.
You state we are evil, but who is it who is going against the last act and wishes of this god? Who is it who is stealing away a gift given by this god? CrIsis are you truly on the path of Light. If so, why do you go against the last wishes of the Bringer of Light.
Give up this foolish quest. There is so much suffering that has come about because of it. Your families have been forgotten or neglected. Your kingdoms are all on the verge of war. Why? Because its greatest heroes are on a fool’s errand, and not leading their people in diplomacy. Don’t you see how you have been mislead? Made to believe in a grand end, when all along you have neglected the fields. Go home. Make piece with those who would have everything you hold dear suffer and be destroyed.
If you look deeper, you will find that this errand was conceived by one whom would tear apart our world. Isis! Can you not see how she has mislead you in her unquenchable grief? She now wishes all to grieve like unto herself. Misery loves company; and godly misery demands a world of company. She means to lead this quest to let this world burn. I love this world too much to allow her to do this. Think about the inception of your moniker…CrIsis. Eternal crisis. This is what she desires. We wish only to bring back the old disciplines that made this world great. It is in these principles that order is establish. The only thing that Isis and her eternal crisis will bring about is CHAOS! And where chaos resides, the Old Ones will rise.
Let not our history together distort you from believing my words. See simply the Light.

That is some heavy stuff right there. Reminds me of this quote: “The heroes have to win every time, but the villains only have to win once.”
Sounds like CrIsis may have a little dimension-hopping in their future? Or maybe it’s time for some mysterious allies in another dimension to step up? Of course, that’s assuming anything ReSet says can be trusted.
An interesting proposal… especially considering the source.
