Good news after the bad news and sneak peek
Added 2024-12-20 09:17:38 +0000 UTCI managed to write back that big chunk of text that was lost. It took me most of yesterday, but at least it went faster than the first time because I already sort-of knew what I wrote back then. So, the update is still coming later today (probably late night European time). I don't know how much more I can add to it, but currently it stands at around 8k words.
I didn't want to make a sneak peek post until a certain scene, which I only started writing now. So now here it is, the prelude to a pretty tense scene, trouble brewing in paradise...
...
The walls here are painted a rich blue, green, and yellow, with patterns of lotuses and palm trees, and the edge of the figures is laced with gold. Even the floor is decorated with painted tiles instead of the simple terracotta stones in the other parts of the building.
You have a feeling that you might be in the royal wing now.
You aren't sure you are even allowed to come in here, but there were no guards at the entrance, and you can't see any of them further inside either.
You take a few tentative steps towards the archways at the end of the corridor, but you falter again when you recognize Narmer's voice filtering out from behind one of them.
On any other day, you wouldn't be intimidated by him, pharaoh or not, because he is generally a pretty calm person.
Right now however, he does not sound happy at all.
