In reply to: Anubis 's message, ".Black Jackal." on 16:17:31 02/16/05 Wed

Against the feathers of Ma’at, the goddess of Truth and Justice, Anubis weighs the heart of the deceased and should that feather outweigh that heart, then the deceased may join Osiris in the afterlife. However, should the heart outweigh the feather, then that heart is heavy with evil deeds and Ammit the god with the crocodile head devours the heart, condemning that soul to eternal oblivion. Anubis, the weigher of souls.

Oh the irony of Hiahe and her snowy feathers! Weigh Lavinia’s heart against one of Hiahe’s feathers? Well then, we would all see the sin that weighted her heart down like a lead balloon, but Lavinia preferred to keep her organs all where they belonged.

“Long strolls help, at times, to free my mind from my worries.”

Her words were spoken so clearly and succinctly, but there had been another reason why she came. These were now her father’s lands and like a lone chocolate brownie on a plate left unsupervised during her week, well, it was irrestible.
