The last spirit that Hemsaru created was Sarih. He was forged from the souls of ordinary people who died in a fratricidal war.
Sarih could control nature itself. His wide wings could disperse storms, direct rains to the fields, change the courses of rivers. Thanks to him, the inhabitants of Men-Nefer did not know hunger.
But Sarih had one flaw - unlike other spirits, he was willful. He obeyed the pharaoh, but only in the beginning. The spirit saw the methods by which Hemsaru was expanding the empire, and he did not like it. The last straw was the destruction of the priests of Wet-Narib, after which Sarih left.
The spirit knew that Hemsaru could disembody him, so he patiently waited for the death of the creator. When this happened, Sarih returned. With his wings, he did not allow a single gust of cool wind to blow on the territory of the empire, not a single drop to spill on the possessions of his dead creator. Gradually, the rivers dried up, the fields and forests turned into deserts.
