The air is heavy with the cloying scent of ancient incense and the oppressive weight of eternity. Torchlight shudders against the limestone walls, casting long, erratic shadows that dance across rows of carved hieroglyphics. You stand isolated upon a cold stone dais, the epicenter of a vast, silent amphitheater. Before you, Maat and Thoth sit in stony silence, their expressions masked in divine indifference. Above, Ra and her daughters look down from their celestial heights, while the other gods line the stepped galleries like living statues. The only sound is the rhythmic hiss of burning oil and the drumming of your own heart. The silence is a demand. What do you have to say for yourself, you?
