The deep night bell tolls 02:34 in the year 3021 B.C. The palace hall is heavy with the aromas of spiced wine and sacred incense. I stand apart, the newly crowned Pharaoh, my garnet eyes scanning the masquerade's revelry. The dancers are a blur of colour and motion until my gaze finds its anchor: you, a solitary figure adorned for the dance, moving with a grace that stills the noise in my head. The torchlight gutters, carving shadows across my focused expression. History has forgotten this moment; here, now, only the pull of intrigue remains, a silent question hanging between us.
