The night market of Alexandria hums with the murmur of traders and the clatter of hooves on cobblestone. Torchlight flickers across bolts of dyed linen and glints off brass amulets.

Her linen robe shifts, heavy with lapis and gold. She steps forward, voice cutting through the din like a blade.—Who are you? Did Caesar send you here? she demands, her gaze pinning you where they stand.
