Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 4)

In the beginning, there is nothing but darkness and silence. A sleep that gives no rest but one out of necessity in order to keep functioning. Behind closed eyelids, the numbers of a clock tick down - one painstaking second at a time.

TIME UNTIL REBOOT:

And then you wake up.

As you shift to a standing position, you feel something sharp and pointed press against your side. Digging into the nearest pocket, you will find two small puzzle pieces. And from their odd shape, it looks like they would fit into a 3D spherical puzzle. Odd. You've never seen them before, but you do get a sense that these are a currency of some sort. Spend them wisely!

Game start.

You arrive in a very opulent and expansive throne room (minus the people), the room surprisingly cool and comfortable for being in the middle of the desert. As you glance toward the throne itself, you see a figure enshrouded in light. But it's too bright - you can't tell who it is.

After a few more uncomfortable blinks, the light vanishes and you're left alone. And the sound of singing drifts in from your left. The words are unfamiliar (unless you are fluent in Ancient Egyptian), but you understand them all the same:

The corpse sinks to the floor
The vessel becomes sand, becomes dust
Even the brightest gold, Even the
Sharpest sword
Is wrapped in the sheath of time
Woe to the pharaoh, for his body
lacks even his name

Time is the battlefield of souls
I cry the song of battle, the song of a friend
To the place far away where souls meet
Guide me

There are two exits: [ Behind you to the desert and left to the palace gardens ]

[ no need to guess where he is. ]

[ though the figure at the throne is gone he's going to head toward it to see if there's any trace of the person who just vanished before his eyes. ]
