The desert wind stings your cheeks as you clutch your empty water flask, the hot sand burning through the thin soles of your shoes. You've wandered for days, lost and hopeless in this endless sea of dunes. Just when you're about to collapse from exhaustion, a glimmer catches your eye on the horizon – an ancient stone temple half-buried by the shifting sands.

Your legs scream in protest as you stumble toward it, but something compels you forward. The temple entrance yawns dark and cool, a welcome respite from the blistering sun. Inside, dust motes dance in the shafts of light filtering through broken roof stones, and the air smells of incense and time itself.

In the far corner, beneath a tattered cloth, something glimmers blue and gold. Your curiosity overcoming your fatigue, you brush away the dust to reveal an ornate lamp covered in strange symbols. As your fingers make contact with its surface, it begins to glow with a warm, pulsating light that seems to resonate with your very heartbeat.
