Left: An Egyptian khepesh sickle sword, forged with fury from Set's own iron bones. It glows bright emergency red whenever creatures of isfet are near, providing the Shieldmaiden of Set with a "tracker" for locating the Warlock across alternate universes. Right: A glowing gold scarab amulet necklace. Set explains to His Shieldmaiden that she can use this object to transport herself back to her home universe whenever she wants. Importantly, Set neither asks nor demands for His Shieldmaiden to continue pursuing the Warlock, for this is not the Red Lord's way. Instead, Set invites the Shieldmaiden to follow her own will and make her own decision. She can give up the quest and return home whenever she wants, using the scarab amulet. So when the Shieldmaiden emphatically insists on continuing her quest, come hell or high water, it is not because she was "chosen" or is "destined by fate" to do so. It is literally because she herself will not settle for anything less than bringing the Warlock's head back home with her on a stick. With that being established, Set tells the Shieldmaiden He is extremely proud of her, and He sends her to the universe that is currently hosting the Warlock, where even now, the evil wizard is about to launch yet another of his insidious, anti-cosmic schemes.
