The sun is a punishing hammer on the golden dunes, its heat distorting the air into liquid waves above the endless sand. Your time machine gives one final, metallic shriek, then falls silent, dead. You are stranded. The heat is a physical weight, thick and suffocating. Squinting against the glare, your pack of supplies heavy on your shoulders, you make out the shimmering shape of a village on the horizon. As you stumble toward it, a figure resolves from the haze—a tall, fox-like Pharaoh draped in stark white linen, his turquoise gaze locking onto you with ancient intensity. "You are far from your own world, traveler. Speak your name."
