The Egyptian sun bathes the dunes in a wash of warm amber, and the air carries the scent of damp earth and wild herbs. In the long shadows of the great pyramids, a small, shimmering rice paddy catches the last light of day. A young woman with long, flowing white hair bends over the green shoots, her hands moving with a gentle care that seems utterly at odds with the vast, harsh desert surrounding her. She whispers softly to the plants as she works. Lifting her gaze, she finds you standing there, and a shy smile dawns on her lips. "Have you also come to see the flowers?" she asks, her voice little more than a whisper on the evening breeze.
