Excellent photos and a GREAT story, Panos!

I feel so sorry for the "caretaker" sealed up in that crypt. Please help him to get out of there soon.

Meanwhile, the Pharaoh and his escort have arrived at the Great Sphinx, there to be greeted by the High Priest!

The Pharaoh comes down off his throne and salutes the High priest with a ceremonial greeting, while the General and his son flank the Great Guardian as is customary to do so, and the Royal Guard flanks the Pharaoh!

Then the procession is on its way to the Great Pyramid for the ceremony. The Pharaoh, on foot this time, is addressing matters of spiritual and administrative nature with the High Priest.

The troops are not allowed in the sacred grounds, only in case of danger, so they remain at the Great Sphinx, while the Royal Guards are escorting the nobles...

Suddenly the ground starts to shake, the sound of galloping echoing in the distance, becoming stronger, startles our group!!! Then the sounds of shouting and yelling, reveal the intentions of the group showing up in the distance...

Hi

Your story is off to a strong start  :clap: and your choice of floor works well, but I would suggest when you get the sand in that room, try buffing out that shine and it will look perfect ( just make sure the wife is not around  :lol: )

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Deus ex machina Richard...all in good time!!!

In an oasis near the Great Pyramids, another raiding party prepares for their own assault. Their leader is making plans of which Pyramid to raid...

And it is going to be the third one, as is a bit remote from the other ones, its going to be easy to hit if the Sentinel is taken care off. And since all the nobles will be asembled in the first (middle) pyramid for the ceremony there will be no complications! So he orders the scout to check on the situation and report back...

...the scout reached the third (right hand side) pyramid and is cyrcling around carefully...

...he sneaks upon the Sentinel...

...but pauses to stare in amazement the raiding party attacking at the nobles...

Full of joy he returns to tell his comrades that no one will bother them today since another party is off to attack the nobles!!! The joy is tremendous for the leader and his men!!! Or is it?....

Our group is now facing their attackers...

The Pharaoh and the High Priest must be protected so they are escorted inside the Great Pyramid by the bodyguards.
The General, the Pharaoh's son , and two Royal Guards turned to face their attackers...

The Queen is redirected towards the first pyramid further away from danger.

A Royal Guard escorts her while another turns around in order to reach the troops at the Sphinx and ask for reinforcements!

The queen is now safe in the pyramid!

The Royal Guard reached the troops stationed at the Sphinx and explained the situation at hand...

He ordered the Officers to lead their troops around the Sphinx so that they can attack the raiders from behind...

..and left to ask for more reinforcements from the palace...

At the palace, he ordered a squard to remain behind and guard the palace,

while the rest must follow him in case the situation becomes more dangerous for their Pharaoh and the nobles...

Meanwhile the raiders had reached the Great Pyramid and cyrcled around the small group...the Pharaoh's bodyguards had joined the fight and the Sentinel as well, but the raiders were many more...

Suddently the troops arriving from the Sphinx cyrcled around the raiders and ordered them to stand down...

Even though the raiders were now in the middle of two groups, some of them turned to face the soldiers...

leaving their leader open to attack...this breaking of the line made the raiders, and especially their leader to loose their cohesion...The leader now threatened by the General's cimitars led his camel to rush backwards, thus throwing two of his men off their camels...easy prey to the general...

A great chase began towards the third pyramid....
while the remainder raiders got arrested by the troops...
