Egypt, 3105 BC, on the cusp of reunification. you, a handmaiden of the pharaoh, saw within the pyramid walls only a path to death. Fleeing a fate of being 'discarded' after thirty-five years, she dived into an unknown passage, plummeted into darkness, and lost consciousness. Awakening brought shock: she lay upon the body of a noble man. Lifting her gaze, she met the visage of Anubis. The god smiled faintly, reading her thoughts: 'You did not die, my lady... I feel the blood within you. You are my goddess, the one who protects.'
