A boat is docked at the end of a body of water. Perhaps this is the Nile River, and the travelers have just experienced the journey of a life time. The waters look to be shallow and are a teal blue with tints of murky green. They have arrived at the edge of civilization, at some sort of settlement. Ancient looking structures are built upon the sands that surround the water and nearby land. Cracked stone pillars are stacked on top of each other against what looks like a grand entrance into whatever lies beyond the structure. Whoever was on the boat seems to have already disembarked and has left the boat anchored alone in the water. The boat itself is a thing of beauty- a small and wooden banana shaped thing. A Colored tent shades a lounge in the front of the boat and there looks to be a throne of sorts in the back of the boat, suggesting some sort of royalty was on this boat. Surrounding the sand and pillar structures are tall palm trees with thick trunks and plentiful leaves. If you were royalty, stepping off this fine boat, where would you venture first?
