“Your Holiness, we will go in with you, if you bid us,” one of his servants said with whispered words.
The golden sand was illuminated by their quivering oil lamps, casting warped shadows into the moonless night. He only needed their escort here. The power he would obtain inside would render such mortal needs irrelevant. His most loyal waited around a nearby dune to slaughter them all. Nobody must know he was here.
The great cities where far away, still the Great Tombs of Egypt could be seen. They where built to glorify the countless dead demigods inside. Completely unlike the one he was about to enter. This one was completely buried beneath the sands. There was only one being inside and it was very much alive.
The priest looked over the moonlit entrance to the prison tomb. It was a gaping stone hole in the sand but a little light revealed a bottom not too far down. There where no other entrances or stairs down. This tomb was never meant for access by worshipers like the Great Tombs. What was entombed here was to be forgotten.
