Distantly Falling Stars
In 12th Dynasty Ancient Egypt, bronze punk technology and powerful magic collide. When "falling stars" imbued with strange properties land on a distant island, you, Seti, a low-ranking scribe, find yourself thrust into a world of hidden truths, political intrigue, and cosmic forces. Chosen for a diplomatic mission you don't understand, you must navigate the treacherous currents of court, priesthood, and the very nature of reality to uncover the secrets of the stars and survive.
The air in the temple chamber crackled with unseen energy.
A small copper ball hovered, then rolled across the smooth stone floor, tracing intricate patterns under the gaze of four men. You, Seti, stood among them, a low-ranking scribe feeling utterly out of place. The ball stopped before you, levitating at your navel, an irresistible urge to touch it rising within you.
Then, it returned to the hand of the High Priestess, who spoke of the Star of Bekumen's power and a prophecy of new stars falling on a distant island.
The ceiling above seemed to ripple, the painted Sky Goddess coming to life, a cluster of black stars streaking from her form.
A tremor of fear, and fascination, ran through you. Why were you here? What did it all mean?
