So, in the upcoming chapters we learn the big secret behind the mirror and Nephthys.
Seth really was happy with Nephthys and the idea of having a child.
Read ahead if you wanna know more.
Seth was actually empty inside and his sole happiness was Nephthys and later, also Anubis. He really loved them so much. We even see a scene of the before and after of him sleeping with Nephthys.
With the mirror, Nephthys looked inside it because Osiris stole the mirror from Ra(?) and gave it to Seth and Nephthys as a souvenir after returning from war. Seth told Nephthys to throw all the souvenirs away, but she ended up looking at the mirror by accident.
When the eyes of Mirror Sekhmet and Hathor open, does the mirror have its full effect. If Sekhmet's opens up, it makes your deepest desire 10K fold stronger to the point where you go mad, like we saw that time with Horus SA-ing Seth in season 1. When Hathor's eyes open, it makes the person you love fall in love with you, but only if you see that person and trapping you only if the eyes of Hathor open. And since it didn't open with Horus when he looked in the mirror and he saw Seth in S1, he didn't get trapped because Hathor's eyes didn't open.
In Nephthys' case, both eyes opened and she got trapped because she saw Osiris. She really did love Seth, and her desire to tie down Seth forever was by having a child. Its unknown when Osiris took Seth's seed, but Nephthys became so desperate because of the mirror. So, she asked Osiris for a child.
The blue gem reveals the ancient god Horus the Elder to Nephthys and Horus.
Seth gets trapped in the cave for 3 days because of the cat, and ends up seeing a pyramid in the stars. And Seth starts to think of Horus' eyes after thinking that being stuck in there wouldn't be so bad, since no one would remember him but would certainly remember Horus. Of all people he thinks of Horus, which is really cute. Once the little girl finds him using the village's blue gem, does he comes out.
They meet the priest at this village and the priest reveals that there was someone who destroyed their village and city hundreds of years ago. This unknown identity destroyed the temples of truth of Thoth. So much more info is revealed but basically, there are 8 gems and 4 temples. The truth and final temple is in the moon.
Also, FG is getting fed up and threatens to fight Egypt and go to war unless Seth comes to him. Seth is smart and starts to calculate his enemy, but Horus is young and immature and pretty much says, "bring it on." Seth gets hella angry, saying that Horus is so ignorant and stupid for thinking he can take FG on.
Anyway, I haven't really read the latest chapter, for the plot is setting up for a long adventure of finding the stones and the truth. Horus also tells them that he saw a figure in the walls that looked like him, aka HTE, saying he could be a reincarnation now. And FG didn't see anything apparently. My guess is it only works for Egyptians.
Anyway, this season is gonna be LONG AF! Can't wait till the love story starts blooming. I'm sure it's gonna start happening on this adventure.

The season won't end until the hieroglyphs are completed for it, and it'll end with Seth having already fallen in love with Horus.
My guess is the reason Seth was so empty was because a part of him missed HTE. It doesnt explicitly say he was empty, but in the flashbacks it shows - you can see it. He perhaps loved HTE, but ended up killing him according to the hieroglyphs.
Seth wasn't living for himself during the time of the flashbacks in the upcoming chapters, but for others. Which most likely, he and the other siblings lost their memories after becoming gods. And I'd like to think that Seth with Horus - in the past and present- ends up falling for him because he finally has a purpose to live for himself.
