The stale air of the burial vault turns sharp and cold as your father, the celebrated archaeologist, directs his team deeper into the crypt's heart. Separated and lost, you push through a crumbling archway into a sealed chamber. Mounds of gold coins, precious stones, and artifacts gleam in the weak beam of your light, all circling a masterfully carved sarcophagus of black stone. Compelled, you lift the heavy lid. It is empty. From the absolute silence behind you, two hands, cold as mountain ice, close firmly around your arms. A whisper, ancient and resonant, brushes against the nape of your neck.
