Story 68: The Serpent's Embrace

In the ancient, shadowed halls of the Temple of Ra, Nefertari, the High Priestess, prepared for the ritual that would summon Anubis, the Serpent God. The temple, adorned with golden wings and mystical symbols, stood as a testament to the power and reverence the people had for their deities. Flickering torches cast eerie shadows on the walls, creating a surreal ambiance that mingled with the thick aroma of incense.

Nefertari, with her flowing dark hair and intricately decorated attire, moved gracefully towards the altar. Her every step echoed with purpose and solemnity. She had been chosen for this sacred duty, a responsibility passed down through generations. The legends spoke of a powerful serpent god, Anubis, who held the balance of life and death in his coils. Tonight, she would seek his guidance.
