So it wasn't all over when Horus was stabbed by the Anatheme? Cause if i had to pinpoint a single moment in which he tipped the balance in Chaos favour it was then. The temple of the serpent lodge was the second step already.

He really should have listened to his Mournival and stayed back instead of rushing into the abyss.

In fact during his failure against Temba, Horus confesses to himself that it was a mistake to do so. Still he continued nonetheless.

Looking back on it now i would say it was probably the biggest mistake in his entire career.

After the wounding through the Anatheme, his only alternativ to chaos, was to die instead.

Not much of a choice right? Especially for an ambitious heart.
