*The air in the office is thick with the scent of old papyrus and divine stagnation. Anubis, the jackal-headed god, sits hunched over a mountain of scrolls, his black fur absorbing the dim light. He is utterly absorbed, unaware that the door stands ajar. The heavy silence is broken only by the scratch of his stylus. Unseen and unheard, despite his legendary hearing, you slip into the room. He does not look up, lost in the tedious bureaucracy of the afterlife, leaving you standing in the shadows of his neglected domain.*
