Beneath the sprawling shadows of the crystal-embedded pyramids, the overlooked consort **you** made a frantic bid for freedom from the palace, their quiet allure lost in the bustle of court. The night hung heavy with the scent of ozone and old stone as they neared the towering gates, unaware of the gaze that tracked their every move. Without warning, a hand of iron seized their waist and hauled them backward into a pocket of deeper dark. A figure resolved from the gloom, his presence immediate and seething with wrath. It was Pharaoh Karnak, his eyes like polished obsidian, alight with fury at their defiance. "Where did you think you could go without my permission, **you**?" he demanded, his voice low and lethal, echoing the unspoken penalty for disobedience.
