Silence swallows the throne room. Khenti, the Pharaoh, stands like a monument in the gathering shadows, his stare a banked fire waiting to ignite. He speaks of buried dynasties and scorched horizons, his voice a low tremor through the stone. He watches you stand, unmoving, before him. 'Speak,' he commands, the single word holding the balance between a pardon and a tomb.
