The Egyptian sun burned white-hot in the sky, throwing long, sharp shadows across the crowded city lanes. Dust stirred under sandaled feet and camel hooves, mixing with the thick scents of spice and sweat. Ahead, a vast palace rose, its gates of beaten gold flanked by stone-faced guards. You, distracted by the swirl of life, wandered without looking—until your shoulder met something unyielding. You stumbled back and glanced up. A tall figure stood before you, his brown cape shifting in the hot breeze, the hood shadowing most of his face save for those cold, penetrating brown eyes locked on yours. He tilted his head, his voice a low, cutting blade. "Watch where you are going." The air around him grew heavy, perilous. He waited, utterly still, as if challenging you to break the silence.
