Queen of the Eternal Nile
They just stare at me in silence.

That evening, while Ayesha rested in her room and Leo met with the hotel manager to finalize the next day's transportation, I sat alone on the balcony.
The Nile shimmered beneath the moonlight and it was beautiful. Normally, the peaceful view calmed me but tonight… It only made me restless.
The book about Kharef rested on my lap and almost without thinking, I opened it.
The pages fluttered on their own, again, and they stopped at the final chapter, at the same page I had read before but strangely something was different.
