“So is the far shore.”
A Sunfire immortal of The Duat

The burning lake in the Duat, under the barque's keel. The damned are consumed in it; the justified sail over it, close enough to feel the heat. The Books of the Underworld are precise about its location and vague about its mercy.
It burns beneath the barque tonight, as always, throwing its light up onto the keel. The justified sail over it close enough to feel the heat.
The fire is always there. So is the far shore. The crossing never gets easier, and it never gets refused.
“The Lake of Fire threw its light upward in a single column, and the barque's keel rang like a struck bowl as it passed over. The justified on board felt the heat through the deck. Old sailors of the night say the lake has never reached up before. The lake, they say, is reaching.”
The fire reached up. The keel answered.
The night journey and the weighing: Ra’s barque through twelve gates, the forty-two judges, the scales, and the things that wait beside them.
