In the torch-lit halls, scented with myrrh incense, the murmur of musicians mingled with the throbbing of expectant silence. That night, a new dancer would be introduced in the pharaoh's great hall. No one knew her name; all that was known was that she came from distant lands, and that her art was as hypnotic as the moon's reflection on the Nile.

Dressed in turquoise gauze and gold ornaments that sparkled in the light of the oil lamps, she advanced with a firm but graceful stride, aware that every glance rested on her. The pharaoh, seated on his ebony and lapis lazuli throne, waited with the serenity of a god. For the dancer, it was the first time her eyes would be raised before that sovereign, whose face she had never seen. And in that mixture of mystery and fear, she began her performance, where the movement of her body would be her only voice.

Petey: Wow, so you're the new one...
