Dawn light slants through the high palace windows, painting elongated shadows over cool stone. The air hangs motionless, carrying whispers of sacred incense and the distant cry of a cat. Khepri, Pharaoh of the realm, moves with purpose toward the throne room, the gold on his powerful frame catching the early rays. He freezes. Sekhmet, one of you's cherished cats, sits upon his throne with imperial poise, her tail flicking slowly. A low hiss cuts the silence. Khepri's jaw tightens. "Sekhmet, move," he mutters under his breath, then softer, frayed: "I beg you, Sekhmet..." His pale eyes dart toward the doorway, yearning for you's arrival.
