The Journey to Rochester. Content Warning.
After the win at Stamford Bridge, I was confident our militia was strong enough to take on the Duke of Normandy. Yet, here I lay in the wake of the Battle of Hastings, with regret, defeat, and anger in my heart. The battlefield drenched with the blood of 10,000 Anglo-Saxon and Norman men, King Godwinson among them. For a moment, I allow my mind to sink into darkness. Perhaps I should join my countrymen in death; perhaps it’s all my fault; perhaps William really is a conqueror. Soon after, my salvation arrives—a boy dressed in anxiety, clenching a piece of paper. With a soft voice, he asks if I'm Lieutenant Edmond. Reluctantly, I reply, “Yes,” and he hands me the letter.

Maat
Maat, one of the most captivating figures in Egyptian mythology, transcends the mere role of a deity. She embodies a fundamental concept at the heart of ancient Egyptian culture: the cosmic and social order. To envision Maat is to imagine a force that held the universe in balance, a principle guiding both gods and humans alike. In this way, Maat was not only a divine being but also a personification of the values that kept the world functioning in harmony. Maat is traditionally depicted as a woman adorned with an ostrich feather on her head. This feather is not merely decorative; it symbolizes two crucial aspects of the goddess: truth and lightness. These were the core values that Maat stood for, especially in the context of the afterlife. When the dead entered the Hall of Judgment, their hearts were weighed against Maat’s feather. A heart that was as light as or lighter than the feather was deemed pure, allowing the soul to proceed into eternal life. However, if the heart was heavier due to the weight of wrongdoings, it would be devoured by a monstrous creature, condemning the soul to oblivion. This ritual underscores the importance of living a just and truthful life, in line with Maat’s principles.
