Osiris

Today was not the best day. My brother and I have had many problems over the past few years. My brother, Set, has always been really jealous of me. I can understand why he's jealous, I mean who wouldn't be. I have a gorgeous wife who absolutely loves me, just as I love her. We have always wanted children but that hasn't happened yet. Getting back to the reason today was terrible though. Set had come to visit to me. With him he brought a chest. The last thing I remember of our meeting is that I somehow ended up in the chest. I was so happy when Isis found me and rescued me from that horrible chest. This only made Set angrier. After this Set decided to try and destroy me again. This time he wasn't going to leave anything to chance. Set cut up my body into many pieces. He then took the pieces and scattered them across the country. My wonderful wife went and found every piece, but there was one she couldn't find. Instead of forgetting this piece, she made me one herself. With her creation we were able to have a child. The child was named Horus. After this very eventful day, I became the ruler of the Underworld and people now come before me to be judged.

Climax

The climax of the conflict would be when Isis brings Osiris back. After all the planning and work Set put into destroying his brother, only to have him brought back. This only made Set more jealous that Osiris still got to be king and that he had such a caring and loving wife. When Isis brought back Osiris it caused Set to have to rethink his entire plan. Isis was able to use spells she had learned earlier to resurrect Osiris and impregnate herself with his child.

Resolution

After Isis resurrects Osiris she impregnates herself with his child. The child was named Horus. After Osiris was resurrected he died again. Osiris became the Lord of the Underworld. Since Horus was the son of Osiris, he felt he was the rightful heir to the throne. Set challenged him for the throne. Horus and Set had many challenges. The other gods asked Osiris his opinion on who should get the throne. Osiris said that he felt his son was the rightful heir.
