The Sands of Egypt

With the ChronoSphere in hand, Alistair helped Ethan journey to Ancient Egypt, where the first piece of the device was said to be hidden. The scorching desert sun beat down on him as he navigated the bustling streets of Thebes, blending into the crowd of traders, priests, and laborers. The towering pyramids in the distance served as a reminder of the ancient world's wonders—and dangers.

Ethan's journey took him to the Temple of Anubis, where the piece was said to be guarded by a high priest who knew more about time than anyone else. But gaining access to the temple wasn't easy. He had to navigate deadly traps, avoid the Pharaoh's guards, and decipher cryptic hieroglyphics that hinted at the time fractures caused by the ChronoSphere.

In the heart of the temple, Ethan confronted the priest, who revealed more about the true purpose of the device. "The Timekeepers entrusted this power to protect the natural flow of events. But with every ripple, every misuse of time, you weaken the thread that holds all reality together."

Ethan retrieved the first piece, but the priest warned him: the more pieces he found, the closer he came to altering his own timeline—permanently.
