Warnings: Death, attempts at blowing up an entire city that one time. No other warnings as of now, but will add as needed!

[Strangers will see nothing and pass by Ozymandias' mirror. Much as with other strangers' mirrors, there will be nothing about the mirror that catches the eye or suggests that it even belongs to anyone. But with any sort of familiarity to Ozymandias, the frame gives way the identity of its owner near immediately. How could it not when there is a blatant depiction of himself at the top of the frame? Symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt mark the corners, his beloved wife depicted beside him. Further knowledge of him reveals more details than just this. Great structures and temples along the bottom of the frame. Ramesseum takes center stage. Monuments and depictions of his beloved gods appear interwoven with this seemingly impossible complex. Each side holds depictions of great battles, those he fought in life and those after. An archer, swordsman, and lancer stand in defiance of a brilliant sun on one side. A young man is half-turned, a sea of people reaching to him.]

[The frame itself is, of course, golden. It shimmers with precious stones for those closest to him. A small reflection of his radiant light as pharaoh.]

((ooc: these are ota as far as i'm concerned! some of the memories will have present-day ozy for your character to interact with during the memory while some are going to play out for a bit beyond what's initially posted here. i'm down for your characters interacting with the environment as much as they'd like! any questions or other requests can be pm'd to this journal or to me on plurk (rebreather)!))

Comments

he may have the moral high ground but he underestimates her power

[If this had happened during Feoveuer, when she first arrived, she might have held back from making any such request of him. Learning that he was such an important person as to be called "Your Radiance," she certainly would have been too worried about etiquette to hug him so fiercely.]

[But she's met many people in her time in Aefenglom, of many different social standings. She respects many of the "common" people she's met among the Mirrorbound more than she would any of the Aefenglom nobility, and she's met emperors and kings who call her a friend. The ideas planted in her mind as she began to question lies she was told were true back in her own world have begun to blossom in Aefenglom.]

[Ozymandias may be a very important person. He might even be one of the most important people she has ever met. But she's been given the time to know Mr. Ozymandias as Mr. Ozymandias, and she cares about Mr. Ozymandias's well-being deeply. His Radiance will not change that. If he asks her to call him by some title or bow in his presence or something like that, she will, but it's because she respects him as a person who has done great things, not for a title from a country far away in time and space.]

And you have my word. [There's a wet sniffle as she holds back the last of her tears.] I promise that I won't let this weigh on me. ...But I hope that the day you see her again is soon.

[She will be staying in that embrace for a while. She doesn't think she should watch more of this private memory, particularly since she promised to not weep for them. She can't do anything about hearing things, but so far, this memory has been a relatively quiet one.]
