“Greetings, mortals,” a voice whispers. “You now stand in the beating heart of the Sky Pharaoh’s innermost sanctum. I am Sehela the caretaker, bound to this great pyramid for more years than I am willing to count.
I presume it is you who have entered this place to contest the will of Hakotep, whose soul was corrupted by his evil wife Neferuset.
You see, when I was alive, I devoted my mortal life to Pharaoh’s service. I watched Hakotep consumed by his queen until the day he died. I witnessed the Sacrosanct Order break their sacred oath and steal his canopic jars to thwart her evil plans. But now, all three pieces of his soul have been brought back together, and both the Pharoah and his bride have awakened.
You must defeat both the Queen and Pharoah’s corrupted form, then place his bones and this thrice-divided soul in his sarcophagus. Only then will the curse end and Hakotep’s threat to Corwyn be ended forever.
She gestures with her bony finger, “What are these massive tanks?” To give the Pharaoh and his queen their powers, they trapped the souls of thousands of slaves with these vast tanks. I was able to destroy one, before the guards killed me. The other seven must also be destroyed to weaken the two immortals, that is your only chance of victory.”
“How to destroy them?” “You must remove the magical forcefield around each, then a simple series of blows will break the glass and free the souls within. But the queen’s amulet holds the key to deactivate the magical shielding.”
“Why did Neferuset resurrect her husband?” “AS many suspected, during her life the Queen secretly worshiped the dark Tapestry, the evil behind the stars. To increase her undead powers, she made a pact with Anubis, the Shorafi God of Death. even now, his minions patrol the very corridors of this pyramid.”
