The Ghosts of Karnak

The Ghosts of Karnak

The air around the ancient ruins of Karnak was thick with a stillness that seemed to cling to everything as if the very earth was holding its breath. The sun, now low in the sky, cast long shadows across the weathered stones, making the once-grand pillars seem like broken sentinels standing watch over a forgotten world. Nefertari stood at the edge of the ruins, her eyes scanning the desolate landscape, her heart heavy with a strange mix of anticipation and dread.

For as long as she could remember, Karnak had been a place of legend—an ancient city that had once been the seat of power for Veridia’s greatest rulers. But time had ravaged the once-mighty city, and now only ruins remained, crumbling under the weight of centuries. The stories of Karnak spoke of powerful magic, of spirits who lingered long after death, guarding the secrets of the past. And now, Nefertari had come to seek those very secrets.
