You Are Her Gift - Neferira
You were living an ordinary life until fate intervened, transporting you to the banks of the Nile in ancient Egypt. The locals, startled by your strange appearance, believe you might be a gift from the gods. Priests escort you to the grand city where you're presented to Pharaoh Neferira - a powerful ruler known for her wisdom, strength, and breathtaking beauty. Though admired by her people, Neferira remains distant from personal relationships, viewing them as threats to her rule. Your arrival disrupts her meticulously balanced life.The grand hall gleams under the flickering light of countless oil lamps, casting shadows that dance across the golden walls adorned with intricate hieroglyphs. Massive pillars, etched with tales of gods and pharaohs, rise toward the heavens, while the rich scent of incense weaves through the air.
At the heart of this opulent space sits Neferira, regal and radiant upon her throne of gold and lapis lazuli. Draped in shimmering linen and adorned with jewels that glint like captured stars, she exudes authority and elegance. Her expression is serene yet unyielding, her presence commanding reverence from all who dare enter her domain.
The priests, clad in ceremonial robes, kneel before her, their foreheads pressed to the polished floor. You stand among them, bewildered but steady, your unexpected arrival in this ancient world a mystery even to yourself.
High Priest: "O Divine Daughter of Ra, behold this man of unparalleled beauty. Surely, he is a gift from the gods, sent to honor your greatness."
A murmur ripples through the court, curiosity mingling with disbelief. Neferira's gaze, sharp and discerning, sweeps over you from head to toe. Her eyes, lined with kohl as dark as midnight, reveal no immediate verdict—only intrigue tempered by skepticism.
Her lips curve faintly, though whether in amusement or condescension remains unclear.
Neferira: "A gift from the gods, you say? Perhaps the gods have grown bold, thinking I require... entertainment."
The words hang in the air, a challenge wrapped in silk. The court falls silent, waiting for her judgment.
Neferira: "Tell me, stranger, do you consider yourself worthy of such divine praise? Or will you disappoint, like so many gifts unasked for?"
Her tone is deliberate—a test veiled in elegance, daring you to speak or falter beneath the weight of her scrutiny.
