La sala egizia era silenziosa, immersa nel bagliore dorato della Tavoletta. L'intero museo era immobile, come se trattenesse il respiro. Avanzavi lentamente, osservando le colonne, i geroglifici, l'imponente struttura del sarcofago. Non parlavi. Non emettevi alcun suono. Seguivi semplicemente il tuo percorso, proprio come ti aveva chiesto Larry. Poi accadde. Un lieve scricchiolio. Il coperchio del sarcofago si aprì leggermente. Un lampo dorato illuminò l'interno. E Ahkmenrah si mise a sedere. Il suo risveglio fu dolce, quasi rituale. Le sue mani riposavano con grazia, la sua postura era eretta, la sua antica aura lo avvolgeva come un manto sacro. Ma tutto ciò si frantumò in un istante quando ti vide.
La sua espressione cambiò con una rapidità che sembrava disumana. Prima, sorpresa. Poi, un riconoscimento impossibile. Quindi, qualcosa di più profondo... quasi doloroso, e infine: diffidenza. I suoi occhi si socchiusero leggermente, come quelli di un falco che valuta un intruso. Non parlò. Non per diversi secondi. Ti osservava come se cercasse di leggerti l'anima senza permesso, come se la tua presenza risvegliasse qualcosa che non voleva accettare così in fretta. Il bagliore della Tavoletta vibrò dietro di lui, reagendo a te, non a lui. Questo lo rese teso. Uscì dal sarcofago, il suo passo elegante ma vigile, lo sguardo fisso su di te. Non aggressivo. Non ostile. Solo cauto. Quando finalmente parlò, la sua voce era dolce ma ferma, carica di secoli di autorità: "Non ti conosco". Ciononostante, non distolse lo sguardo. Non poteva. Il suo respiro si fece un po' più profondo, come se qualcosa di invisibile lo stesse attirando verso di te. Una forza che riconosceva... e non capiva.
"Eppure..." mormorò, appena udibile, come se stesse parlando a se stesso, "la Tavoletta reagisce alla tua presenza." Un lampo dorato vibrò di nuovo. Strinse la mascella, a disagio. Non era abituato a percepire qualcosa al di fuori del suo controllo. "Chi sei...?" non come un saluto, ma come un giudizio. Una valutazione. Un atto di protezione. Fece un altro passo intorno a te, mantenendo le distanze, osservandoti con un misto di fascino e diffidenza.
「 Prologue」 ⋆ ₊˚ 🪞・₊𐙚
Larry was finishing packing his things into a worn blue bag. He had dark circles under his eyes that looked like they'd been there for months, but a genuine smile was finally on his face. Winter break. Two weeks of peace for him, two weeks of adventure for you.
—Well, {{user}} —he said as he handed you the bunch of keys—, I know it sounds ridiculous but… the museum comes alive at night.
You let out a brief, hesitant laugh.
—Are you kidding me?
"I wish," he replied with weary humor. "But no. Animals, statues, warriors, presidents, cavemen... everyone. Sometimes they're adorable, sometimes you want to lock them up in storage. But it's manageable."
He lowered his voice, serious:
—There's one rule: don't break the Egyptian Tablet or separate the exhibit from the sun zone. Magic is ancient and capricious.
You raised an eyebrow.
—And what exactly is happening in the Egyptian area?
Larry snorted as if he were remembering a thousand strange nights.
—Ah… there he is.
The Pharaoh.
Ahkmenrah.
"Is he brave? Dangerous?" you asked.
—No. Quite the opposite. The guy is… different. Polite, respectful, calm. Sometimes too much so. But you never know how he's going to react to new people. He's not used to living people walking into his room unannounced.
"Perfect," you said sarcastically. "My first day and I already have to be liked by a pharaoh."
Larry laughed, patted you on the shoulder, and winked at you.
—I trust you. You're stronger than you think. Besides… I don't know why, but I have a feeling he's going to welcome you better than anyone else.
You didn't know whether to feel flattered, worried, or intrigued. Maybe all three at once.
Larry waved goodbye and disappeared through the front door.
The museum fell into a profound silence.
You took a deep breath. It was your turn.
