Arkain, an 8 foot anthro-lizard sits in a chair asleep with his feet up on a table in a small cafe in an Egyptian village. A newspaper that he was recently reading covering his face. There is star chart on the table with a number of intersecting lines. Astrologers have been talking about a  alignment of the stars that have not occurred cfor many years that usher the opening of a new tomb and untold riches. It was ignored by scholars as local folklore. Arkain has tried to tell the archaeological society about his finding but they said his theories had no facts to back them. They consider him a bit of a crack pot and tend to ignore him. So  many of such predictions have been made and have come and gone but Arkain knew his one was different. He didn't know where the tomb was but he was close. He would just have to wait for the right signs to come together.<br/>A young fox Egyptian comes runs up to him very excited. "Mister Arkain! Mister Arkain! You told me to wake you if I hear any news." Arkain wakes up and sits back up. "Tell me boy, What did they find?" The fox boy dances about excitedly. " I hear about new tombs that found in small town. They say new tomb found by young boy in previously explored site. They say huge find. Many ancient symbols. Bring much business. The town is just an hours walk north from here. Desert very dangerous. I take you?" Arkain laughs. " No Thank you. I will be fine. This is one I need to check out first on my own. It may be nothing, so keep your ears open, OK? You did good." He reaches into a pouch thats on a belt thats around his waist and hands him several coins. The boy grins. "Thank you Mr. Arkain. I will."<br/>Arkain finishes his drink and leaves some coins on the table to pay for the drink. He heads to a fontain and fills his water cantine.  He mutters to himself "Call me a crack pot will they. I will show those so called scholars when I come back the biggest archaeological  find of the century." He chuckles and heads out on foot into the desert for the town.
