Before either you or the crowd could make any decision on what to do, everyone froze as a, low, chilling moan could be heard from the pyramid. Mystified with fear and awe, everyone watched as thick, swirling smoke, black as night, began to seep out from the temple entrance. Then with great speed it coalesced and shot forth like a rocket, racing over the transformed landscape. It came to a quick halt, hovering over a sand dune that used to be a grassy hill overlooking where the crowd stood. Then the smoke began to stretch and take shape, becoming more compact and….solid. Out of the smoke a figure began to form, arms, legs and a head becoming defined.
Although at first the figure seemed to be humanoid in nature, it became clearer that they were something more. Or rather that *she* was something more. Indeed there was no mistaking the canid features of her form. From the top of her long pointed ears down to her feet, somewhere between humanoid and pawlike, she was coated in fine, jet black fur. Around her waist she wore a simple white and gold wrap, but she wore naught but fine golden jewelry on her bust, exposing her generous bosom. You found yourself entranced for a moment, before remembering she was a freaky dog person.
The figure stood still, eyes closed, before the crowd, some waiting, some watching, some recording her appearance on their phones, while others scrambled to look for something to defend themselves with, just in case. The….woman on the hill then suddenly snapped open her eyes, adorned with gold makeup, revealing brilliantly glowing pupils. She raised her arms to the air and cried out in a regal, reverberating voice: “MORTALS! YOU STAND IN THE GLORIOUS PRESENCE OF ANUBIA, JUDGE OF SOULS! COME FORTH AND FACE JUDG-ACKPTH!”
Suddenly, the “woman” doubled over and began to hack violently for several seconds, tapping her collar bone. “Ergh, fucking sand, getting in my mouth, ruining my cool entrance!” she muttered. She stood up straight and looked back into the crowd. This time, the golden glow from her eyes was gone, revealing more human-looking eyes in a beautiful shade of brown. The regal tone of her voice was also gone as she clasped her hands together and spoke again to the mystified masses, “Sorry about that everyone! Technical difficulties, am I right?” she said in a cheery but somewhat strained tone. “Anyways, yeah! My name is Anubia, and I’m here to tell you all that your city has been chosen by the Gods Themselves as the capital of their new empire! Not only that, but some of you have been selected to receive the privilege of the blessing of their power!” The strange “woman” paused for a moment to produce a scroll seemingly out of thin air. “Let’s make this simple, shall we? When I call your name you will come up and-”
Suddenly out of nowhere, an outraged looking man suddenly hurled a rock in the direction of the “woman”, yelling “DIE FREAK!”. As the rock flew toward her, “Anubia” casually snapped her fingers. Suddenly, the rock floated in the air, and suddenly disintegrated into a small swarm of locusts, which dispersed. “Now where were we?” she said casually, to the shock and horror of the man. "Oh right, when I call your name, step forward, and we will truly see if you are worthy of the gods' blessing."
