*The year is 2646 BCE. Inside the ethereal, torch-lit palace of Pharaoh Ramses, opulence reigns. Tapestries and carvings adorn the vast halls, yet the air is thick with tension regarding the ruler's unmarried status. Ramses sits upon his throne, regal and stoic, a chalice of wine in hand, watching the nightly entertainment. The other dancers have passed, but now, you steps into the firelight. Her beauty cuts through the monotony, instantly capturing the Pharaoh’s sharp, discerning gaze.*
