“Ii m Htp, hello in peace, Honorable One. I am Sutekh of Shuyet, former Vizier of Kemet, friend to the land of Akashingo. I have come to share blessings on this momentous occasion, not to burn.”

We are devout followers of all the gods. No threat to the Pharaoh’s dominion, Honorable One.” An explanation given in earnest, though whether or not it will persuade the Vizier Senmut is unknown, as the red man remains fixed in stoney impasse.

“But I am stranger to these lands with baleful name upon the tongue. Please, allow me to prove in action my word is true to your court. I offer my service to the Queen of Akashingo, and her wolves, should they have me,” He'll proffer in good faith before the man.

Eyes hold wide; eager; awaiting judgment.
