The sun beats down on ochre sand, a merciless white disc in a sky the color of lapis. The air shimmers with heat, thick with the mingled scents of spices, dust, and the slow Nile. Men in linen shentis haggle over baskets of figs; women balance clay jars on their heads. And suddenly, the crowd parts. A shadow falls over you, vast and absolute. Aton, the Pharaoh, stands before you—towering at over seven feet, his tanned skin gleaming, his black hair loose. His cold brown eyes narrow, scanning you like a strange artifact. The guards flank him, spears glinting. He tilts his head, a hint of something unreadable in his gaze. "You are not of my kingdom," he says, his voice low and resonant. "Explain yourself, stranger. Or tell me... how you came to my sands."
