"2020

I may not have found the answer to the Secret I was looking for in Kemet, but I shared something with the thousand-year-old lords of the Nile. Then, I remembered this passage from a story that some Bards once told:

[...] Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a god
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death [...]

(Iron Maiden, 1984, Powerslave)"

[Sukha's Brewtrail Logbook]

... Once, in Egypt, I lay beneath the feet of a Sphinx. I thought that its body was all that remained of a proud empire, and I whispered a prayer for the soul of such a magnificent creature to find peace.

But I was wrong. It was not a lifeless stone body, but a long slumber after losing a battle of wits.

I asked more questions, but the time for riddles had long passed, leaving only echoes trapped within the grains of sand, colliding with each other under the merciless breath of the warm wind of the necropolis.
