"A few dunes away, in a little hole she'd dug for herself. She was marked with a similar scar on her leg."

*what did the scar mean?*

"When she woke, she told me it was a marking of the Great Sphinx. I still believe her, though she and I did not see any sphinxes."

*whats the great sphynx?*

"The queen of the sphinxes. It is said she is a massive lion, taller than 3 people, with a mane like shadow and eyes like the sun."

*oh.*

"Why she would mark two humans and do nothing afterwards is beyond me." She continues with a soft sigh.

She thought. *maybe. . . They were marked on purpose.

Maybe she chose them for some sort of role.*

She chuckles. "It was 20 years ago, Inyosi. I highly doubt it."

*you never know. Those creatures are mysterious. They may be doing it for a reason we dont understand.* she mused.
