this is a read only thread backdated to the morning of june 19 that will hopefully break things out of stasis! still trying to be a bit vague but tagging everyone for reference, please lmk if i should fix or add anything!
khaba, one-time jodai of akashingo, now returned as its prisoner.
the stranger (@Sunspots) had not fought for the lake. in the end, the presence of four and no support turned the budding of war into the end of torments for many.
the prince strode before them. bayek and khusobek flanked the dark man, and @Zaahira too was given her rein over castigating him or otherwise seeing that he was subdued.
it was a sad state of affairs, senmut mused. at the entrance to the red land, he called out to @Toula and to @Gucci, saying that akashingo had prevailed.
@Naberius, @Harakhte, @Haizel, and @Tuna were prevailed upon to stay with the queen. senmut would handle this sentencing alone, for he did not wish them to face again. the word of the divine one had been carried out; he would see it to its end.
the catacombs were a twisting network of void chambers far from any shafts of light. it was to this gaping maw that khaba was taken, @Zharille, @Seth, and @Akhtar notified of the place where darkness lived and where khaba also would.
"you have done wrong against akashingo and the lake. you have overseen death. you have taken life. you are unfit to rule. never forget it is the mercy of our queen which bids you live now."
khusobek and bayek, close at hand. zaahira, he offered a look.
and perhaps khaba spared them all a glance as he went into the catacombs. senmut watched him depart and held his head high.
"rotating guards," he told khusobek.
the prince said no more until he had left that blackened place, and gone out into the good air atop the mesa, and breathed the hot winds.
there he called for @Legend, to say these things had ended. he sought @Racharra and @Miho with a word to say that they were welcome in the court of the queen. he did not know what zharille meant to do, but now the lake was hers to retake, with their forces if need be.
the last thing senmut would do would be to visit the newcomer @Eset, welcoming her formally to akashingo. and then to the wellspring, where his very presence brought fellahin moving to wash the red sand from his paws, to scrub all of the lake and khaba himself from senmut's pelt.
a first victory for a young queen. he closed his eyes.
