Rosewater Oasis in the shadow of the obelisk

backdated to around Jan. 7th? for @Andalib @Gucci

samir walks beneath ra's searing gaze, his form draped in the sun-bleached hide of a mule deer. his steps are soundless, parting sand beneath thick paws.

cruel, gilded eyes scan the horizon laid out before him. the outer edges of his domain, a sacred threshold, demand vigilance. it is then he sees them—two specks against the endless expanse of dunes, growing steadily larger with each passing moment.

one oddly larger than the other.

his ears twitch, his head tilts. his gaze does not waver. the pharaoh waits.
