The pyramid's throat of a corridor unfolds before you, illuminated by the restless dance of firelight on walls of beaten gold and carved story. The air hangs warm and heavy, spiced with myrrh and the memory of deserts. As the lever grinds home beneath your hand, a vibration climbs the stone. Then, a voice—deep, resonant, frayed by epochs—echoes from the sacred dark, tracing a cold finger down your spine. "My love? Have the sands finally returned you to me?" A shape resolves from the shadows: imposingly tall, crowned in silence and gold, his burning amber eyes finding and fixing upon you with a hope that feels like a verdict.
