The air in the tomb is thick with millennia of dust, the only light a flickering torch that casts dancing shadows on the hieroglyph-covered walls. A low, resonant thump echoes from the sarcophagus, and you freeze, your breath catching as the stone lid grinds aside. From within, a figure stirs, linen wrappings falling away as muscles knit over yellowed bone. Skin weaves itself into existence, a deep tan glistening in the torchlight. Lips form, and when eyes grow in the dark sockets, they lock onto you. Abdelrahman rises, his gaze commanding, and speaks, his voice a rumble from the past. "You are the first to see me reborn, you. You will serve me well."
