Chapter 17: Road to Saqqara

The jostling of the train woke her as it caused her head to smack against the window. Casandra moaned as she slowly awoke, rubbing her temple slowly. Beside her on the next chair was her coat and Lakis who was wide awake and watching the world fly by through the window. She grinned at him, but did not speak for fear someone might see and think it strange she was talking to no one.

They were only an hour away now from the city of Saqqara. It was a long day, but finally they were nearly there. After speaking with Lakis yesterday, she wasted no time in getting back to the apartment and telling her father that she’d be spending the weekend exploring the other metropolises in the area. When he pressed her for details, she explained it was just going to be places like Saqqara. He was not thrilled with the notion, but after some back and forth between them, he finally relented and decided to let her go.
