The ruined temple
It was time to go to Menes. To do so, she would have to leave the deserts. The king mentally called out to her. His call was filled with despair. Alais could not understand why, for Menes was now the ruler. He was no longer in danger of losing the war.
“Go and see what’s going on with Menes,” she commanded Remy.
“He wants to see you, ma’am,” Remy, hovering over the desert, knew all too well.
“Is he waging a new war?”
“With the help of a dead army, he has won many wars already.”
Alais didn’t like that Remy called the corpses, filled with demon energy, a dead army. But they were.
“I gave Menes a gift – gave him an invincible backbone. What more could he want?”
“When the bodies of the warriors you brought back to life have rotted away, the demons will be gone. Menes will be without an army,” Remy reasonably reminded him.
“Does he know that already?”
“He has not studied magic, nor is he suspicious, but he is desperate for you to come to Egypt.”
“We are in Egypt. These deserts are officially the domain of Menes, ever since he led his invincible armies out of here.”
