Horus and Set, side by side but not eye to eye
The hieroglyphs are supposed to say "Horus true of vision, Set great of strength"

I must admit I was influenced more than a little by Jenniology's Duality.

This was original version:

They look like they're ready to have a duel, bringing a different kind of duality, duelity?. Ready to start pacing the agreed upon number of steps, I can imagine Set taunting Horus, "You know I really am much better with this 'was weapon' than you!" This infuriates Horus, who after pacing and facing, then tries to send a lightning bolt towards Set. The electric jolt surges through him instead. He quickly pulls down the scepter for he realizes he's been tricked. While use of the 'was scepter' allows him to throw lightning bolts at anyone else, it will only backfire if he tries to use it against the One whose electrical power energizes it. Horus yells back, "We'll try again, with a DIFFERENT weapon!" Set just laughs.
