Lion Head Mesa lenimentus

The call that came for him disrupted his morning prayers; Siptah cast pale eyes across the mesa, then bowed his head and fervently finished his prayers. When he stood, he noticed his mouth was dry, and a little bit of panic was starting to set in — his father had said they would meet Mereo together. The Prince swallowed his panic, then set off towards the open air throne room with Jawahir at his side. Why must they meet where his mother had died? He took a deep breath, squeezing his eyes shut tight, then opened them and entered the throne room.

Jawahir left, and Siptah, casting a fervent glance behind him, noticed that she lingered in the hall. He mistrusted her, and so he gave his first command as Prince, telling her, "Leave us. I... I would speak to our guest privately." He tried to feel older than he was. He wondered if the coyote would obey. He then turned to Germanicus.

"Welcome to Akashingo," Siptah's voice wavered slightly, and he cleared his throat, continuing, "It is good to have you here."
