Akrios, Village near Pyramid

I scratched my head looking around. I'm at the the main road of the village dressed in my typical rags and searching for someone. Most people don't get in my way afraid of someone like me. Someone who's dressed like thug and armed is usually bad sign. I put my hand in the pocket feeling the seal that I'm suppose to show Sphinx for her to even care.

Rana stayed to guard the temple. She said that despite the state it's in she prefers to not leave the palace unguarded especially with Pharaoh still asleep and if someone managed to dig to her chamber who knows what they might do. While Pharaoh might be very powerful after waking up she'll be confused and in rather weak state until she'll recover.

(Y/N) : Hey, you!

Villager : Y-Yes?

I walked up to a young villager. His voice broke when I quick made it to him. My face being additionally covered in rags and my voice being muffled must give him quite a scare. I have to be quick so guards won't get suspicious and try to stop me.

(Y/N) : Calm down. I just want some informations about a certain someone.

Villager : A-And who are you looking for?

(Y/N) : A Sphinx.

His face suddenly brighten up and a few people who were walking nearby cheered up a bit. I looked around in surprise and then back to the villager who seems to calm down completely and relax now that I'm not looking for anyone from their village.

Villager : There is one in the house near oasis. She wanted to give riddles in exchange for water but guards stopped her and said that she'll be thrown out if she tries anything.

(Y/N) : Anything else?

Villager : Moswen - our elder - will give anyone reward for taking Sphinx away. So you might get a few extra coins for helping if you'll manage to get her away.

(Y/N) : Sure, sounds good. Which house is it?

Villager : It's the one nearest to oasis. You'll see a few stray cats always nearby.

I raised my hand to thank him and decided that it's best to be on my way to Sphinx's lair. After a short while I found the way to oasis and just as the villager described there was a house at the very end. I saw cats almost laying siege to the place... I looked in throught one of the windows seeing the house being full of pillows... Like there was almost no floor visable.

I walked to the door and knocked on it. I heard a rustling inside before some rushed at the door. it quickly opened and the Sphinx stood before me. She was very excited to see me standing there and she took a proud pose.
