Young ruler. Having a run of crazy dreams.
“Good,” he said sincerely.
“I cannot allow a man with your insight and gift to be hidden away from the light. Whatever brought you to your incarceration, I have to trust in my instinct. That you will bring good, and not harm, to the people of Egypt.”

Amen nodded.

land far from here?"
He couldn't read the man's face. He hoped it was not rude to ask. He did not need to know what crime he had sat in a cell for, but he was fascinated to understand who and what made up the man with his gift.
