Adom isn't sure whether to feel pleased or embarrassed. The man is finally seeing the true power of the gods, and acknowledging Adom, but for once the priest doesn't feel like he deserves praise.
"I have no doubt that it is within His power to help us. But I fear the belly of Sobek's temple is no place to call out to Him. I have already felt the sting of an unanswered prayer within these walls. We must reflect on this, but we have proof now that it was Sobek who took her. Together, we will find out why and set things right."
Set things right. To Adom, that means restoring the river, clearing his name, and if at all possible burying Amenset's power. The idea of putting his arm into the jaws of Sobek, again, is not something he wants to contemplate. Tefri's wife is probably beyond recovering, but maybe not. If they can find her, who knows what secrets it might unlock? Could it be that Anubis has chosen him to be the bone that sticks in Sobek's teeth? Will he be the willing pawn in a game between the Gods? It could be his path to greatness.
