After leaving the city, there is a piece of Gobi yellow sand. The road seems hot and long, and we are going to an end point.

The end of life.

Immorton's body lay quietly beside me, and I slowly reached over and took one of his hands. The sun was scorching, but his hands were cold and had no temperature.

I'll go with you, Immorton.

I'll send you on this last journey, to your hometown, to our ...... I once agreed to go somewhere together.

I don't know where your tribe once found the vast, dead land of the Valley of the Kings, and I can't find them all.

Therefore, I ask you to lie down in my tomb. Next to my father's pyramid, craftsmen have long been repairing the tombs of me and Memphis. Giant rocks are built in the shape of a pyramid, and people say that it is the world after death. In mythology, people can eventually be resurrected. After a long journey, one day we will be able to see the light of day again. The pyramid is a posture of prayer, a form of hope.

Immorton, you're going to love it there, aren't you? Future...... One day, I will come to accompany you, and at that time, we can never be separated. Do you like it?

I have many things to say to you.

I have a lot of past, and even I can't tell which life it is, and the memories are mixed together. I thought I'd tell you when you came back from Minoa...... Tell me about my other half of my soul, tell you about what I have experienced, life in another world.

It doesn't matter, although there is no way to say it now, but one day, we will ...... Reunion again.

Unas drove forward, and the guards rode along.

Jin sat quietly on my wrist, not moving. It rarely moves except when it eats or drinks.

It seems that it is also loaded with heavy and great sadness.

The sun is so big, but I feel like I'm in the abyss. The tears flowed down and were dried by the dry wind before they could hit the ground.

In the evening, I rested at a post house in a small oasis, the room was cramped, the windows were open high, and I sat quietly beside Immorton, and it was getting dark, and there was no light in the room. The narrow and sharpened walls on all sides give people the illusion of being sealed and buried.

It seems that there is only this small space left in this world, and only me and him are left.

I just sat there, my mind blank, thinking about nothing.

I don't know how long later, there was a soft knock behind me, and I heard Unas say, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready." ”

My voice was hoarse: "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Unas walked in. He carried a tray with bread baked with wheat flour, grapes, and some meat.

He placed the tray on the table aside. I don't know how long the table has been used, and it is very worn.

I ate a little bread and a little grapes. Unas reached out and took the bunch of grapes away from me: "It's too green, it must not be delicious." ”

After he finished speaking, I felt an astringency in my mouth, and my sour teeth were about to fall.

He handed over a cup filled with water.

I rinsed my mouth and returned the cup to him.

"Hurry up tomorrow, and you can be there at noon." He said, "The room is ready, it's clean, you can rest early." ”

I slowly turned my head and looked at Immorton lying there.

Unas said, "I will personally guard this place, please rest assured. ”

"No...... I'm staying here tonight......" I said, my voice as soft as the dreams of those who fear to wake up a sleeping man, "this is the last night." ”

Unas's lips moved, but he didn't speak again.

He took away the food he had left, and then he told me that he was standing outside the door.

It was very quiet, and occasionally you could hear camels and horses stomping on each other and barking there. Far away, it seems very estranged and desolate. I sat quietly on the ground beside Immorton. I didn't have him restrained in a coffin, like that...... That would make it clear that he had ...... He's dead. I don't want to see him in a coffin. And so he lay down, clothed in the white robe of a priest. It is...... The first time I went to the temple to see him, he was wearing the same kind of clothes.

He wore a thin gilt patch on his chest, and a bracelet on his wrist was woven of gold silk with the emblem of Anubis. The girdle was strung with seven colored beads, and he had a three-fold priestly crown on his forehead. This outfit was the outfit of the first person in the temple in his heyday.

I like him to dress it this way, it is very noble and precious. I remember when he wore this outfit and presided over the river festival, everyone bowed at his feet, and he looked so unattainable. Since then I have wanted to be loved by this man and have long wanted to be loved by him...... I think Imorton will love this outfit too.

I leaned over the stone platform, my cheek against the back of his hand.

The back of his hand was cold, and I closed my eyes.

Immorton, I want to be with you forever.

Tonight, I watch over you, and you accompany me.

You have to remember, but don't forget, we'll be back together in the future.

I also have to take my share of responsibility, I want to avenge you, I want to ...... Live with your share. Your pride, your ideals, what you like, what you desire......

Drops of water ran down my eyes and on the back of his hand.

I'm not going to cry anymore, tonight...... I'm weak again tonight.

I was in a daze, and I woke up at one time, and I don't know when it would dawn, and the people outside had already gotten up, and the camels and horses were neighing, and the swords of the guards made a crisp sound against the iron armor. After I freshened up, the group continued on their way, and Unas was right, and by the time the sun rose overhead, the outline of the Valley of the Kings could already be seen in the distance.

The little leader who managed the Valley of the Kings came out to greet me humbly, and the slaves were still working endlessly, and there were people chiseling stones on the stone walls along the way, and the sound of tinkling and tinkling was continuous.

"Your Majesty Isis, please go this way." The man waved his hand away from his followers, and then said to me, "Your Majesty, the rules of the king's tomb ...... You can't let too many people in, except for the people who carry them......" I nodded and said, "Unas will follow, and the others will stay outside." ”
