Darkness fills the chambers of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb, illuminated only by the flickering flames of burning lamps. The young king lies lifeless upon his ornate bed, his once rich silks and gold now dulled by decades buried deep underground. A lone attendant bows over Tutankhamun, his hand trembling as he presses it over the pharaoh's still-warm forehead, checking in vain for any signs of life. A choked sob escapes the attendant's lips as he accepts what he has long dreaded - the curse rumored to have claimed each digger and servant working to restore the boy king's resting place has now taken its mightiest victim. Through the gloom a pair of eyes gleam sorrowfully, watching the last flicker of mortal flesh succumb to eternity's embrace.

Tutankhamun's mysterious image, shrouded in an enigmatic aura, as if the secrets of ancient Egypt linger around him.

Within shadows veiled by shifting mist, twin glints arrest the gaze. Where soft lamplight plays upon ancient stones, two souls stand guard through the veil of ages. One gleams dulled as the memory of steel once honed through fleeting wars. The other holds fast a glimmer more radiant, marked by gold consecrated to the eternal king of gods' realm. Though hands that gripped such edges are scattered upon the sands, these guardians' spirits sing their ageless dirge through drifting veils — one song wrought of trials now lost, the other aglow in tribute never dimming. Over all the guarding pyramids loom, swathed in portent as funeral shrouds enwrapping eons of dust. Thus twinned souls forged of steel and gold shall keep their solemn watch, 'til even the circling stars cast off the memories of reigns outworn, and dawn unveils what even restless ghosts may never glimpse with waking eyes alone.

Through shrouds of mist and the gauzes of centuries, a glimpse of mysteries past. There, where soft lamps cast their glow, lies a relic that down the ages has lured the eyes of dreamers. Wrapped in linens veiled by drifting ages, features faintly showing, a boy-king rests as he has since time forgot his name and reign. One pale hand seems poised as if to grasp again a staff denoting sovereignty over realms where even gods pace mortal. Hollows that once held eyes gazing on splendors ours can only envision have faded into shadow, yet about the faded brow still clings a residue of glory not to be undone by the shroud of centuries. So in dusk and dreams shall this child-monarch keep his silent vigil, phantom guard of all that is written in crumbled stone but not for mortal fingers to undo, until dawn shall come again to open the final riddles of night.
