You have known me as The Stranger.
I am not the first. It is now up to you to assure that I am not the last.
The words of my Pharaoh, now long dead, have guided me. I would now like to share those words with you:
"It is man's nature that he is at his best when challenged. Men reach peaks of virtue only when they are tempted toward evil."
"Soon our children will rule this land, and they too will need strengthening. They too will need their virtue tested so that they may become powerful and good. You must become the Stranger. You must create new challenges for your children. You must create new tests for them to pass. The last thing you must do before you pass from this world is leave behind the greatest Monuments of our civilization: the Tests that will strengthen future generations."
I now present you with seven final challenges: As I write this, messengers have been dispatched to Universities across the land. Your scientists will provide details as each messanger arrives.
With these Tests, you will have the opportunity build seven unique monuments.
To follow in the path of your forefathers.
To create seven new Tests.
To challenge a future generation.
To be worthy of your heritage.
As each monument is finished, I will consecrate it myself.
However...
My time in Egypt is almost over, and I do wish to see the land one last time before I pass.
I hold in my hand a vial of "Speed of the Serpent". It is said that while this provides nearly limitless travel time, it does tend to shorten one's life.
(drinks Speed of the Serpent.)
Consider this your final challenge.
