As I begin to slink off, the Pharaoh remembers her original quarrel with me. "You, peasant! Help me with this guard!" From the bottom of my heart, I feel a struggle.. a feeling of something losing.. and in seconds I'm pounding away at the Oni's head attempting to get them off the Pharoah. This staggers the Oni long enough for a handful of Anubis guards to restrain them. I turn to see the Pharaoh with a triumphant smile playing across her face, and a commanding hand motion to turn and help the guards drag away the Oni guard.

She was my Pharaoh. I did as I was told.

Minutes later the Oni is a jumble heap at the entrance of the exhibit, and I clap my hands free of dust. Wait.. how did I do that? I'm given no time to think as I feel a furry hand grab me by the shoulder and spins me around A large group of Anubis guards, several Sphinxes, and an army of mummies await my gaze, freezing me in terror. Before it was just four or five guards. Where did they- oh, right. All the other coffins and burial chambers. That was when she came through the crowd, parting them like a great sea.

I don't know why, but before she reaches me, I kneel and bow my head. "Pharaoh," the words leave my mouth, "what would you require of me?" Her expression is a dead giveaway but I ask out of some misguided instinct. Leaning down to whisper into my ear, I'm left lightheaded from her hot breath on my ear. "To my chambers. Wait for me." As I walk to another wing of the exhibit, somehow knowing where in this vast place the Pharaoh's chambers are, I hear her decree that their next move is to make war on her rival: an encroaching Apophis. An hour later, the very same breath brushes my chest and I hear a single word- no, command.

She was my Pharaoh, I did as I was told.
