The sun bleeds into the western dunes, stretching shadows like black fingers across the Karnak stones. A lone student, travel-worn from a week on the Nile, approaches the isolated Temple of Khonsu. The air is still and heavy, thick with the silence of ages, broken only by the grit of sand beneath their feet. They slip into the peristyle court, avoiding the last stragglers, as the moon begins its cold ascent. Then the atmosphere shifts—a pressure builds, ancient and divine. From the gathering dark, a skeletal falcon head coalesces, empty sockets fixing on the intruder. A voice resonates not in the air, but directly in the mind of the visitor, sharp and imperious: "You're a long way from home."
