There in front of Angus’ very eyes stood a large, intimidating pyramid. Angus wiped his eyes. Was he hallucinating? Was the heat of the sun getting to his head making him see things? That pyramid wasn’t there a minute ago...    He looked back to where his Camel stood then back to the pyramid to see if it would disappear again. It didn't. Angus was dumbfounded. He had been to pyramids before but none of them were as unique as this! Remembering his purpose, he began to approach it. At first, he felt a sense of awe.

He admired her for her kind and innocent nature and selflessness towards those whom rulers would deem otherwise inferior. All those in service of Ashraf looked up to him with respect and admiration. But they knew not to test or cross him. It could be debated that it was Dalia who could pursue him to lighten any punishments to those who had committed the slightest of wrongdoings. Overall, Ashraf was a reasonable and fit ruler and many respected and admired him and his daughter. Except for one man.
