The glass covering hislower exremeties would have been almost welcome- he needed the rest. Unfortunately, he also needed the bathroom and this glass vessel did not come with a properly placed vent or hole. Akne shuddered. What if he now had to spend the entire period in the afterlife with a full bladder? COuld he bear that? Would he have any choice?

His attention to his needs was momentarily disturbed by the view of Spethi trying desperately to get out of her glass enclosure. Wiggling with all of her night, she tried to squeeze out. Her pants slipped down, down, down and then she would slip back into the enclosure, fix herself and try again.

HAd this been occuring while he was under the influcence of the love potion, he might have gone mad. As it was, he found it more amusing than anything else; imagine, being so concerned about now barring your butt that you give up what little progres you've made to fix yourself. If Akne had any chance of similar wiggling, he would not care if he came out nude- he could always pull his clothes out later.

His blader again began to ache. This really stunk. Maybe he could poke a small drain hole in the toe area. No, no chance of that. Comeon big toe pushhhhhhhh.

A woman entered the room with a servant. The woman bore some resemblance to Ankhesen, except much older and with money. The floor then shook and the glass encassing them cracked opened. Akne did not know how it happened, but he was heading to the nearest private corner of the room.

He had barely moved though when the kitty statue spoke to them " You have entered the Palace of NebMaatRe, the resting place of the Imortal" 'Great" akne thought, continuing onto the corner. He knew what this all meant, he ws going to die and darn it, he was going to be comfortable.

He had located a private corner when he heard Neffy announce " Hello hello mr Nabratte, I´m the physician you have been waiting for." Akne didnt care. He was not going anywhere. He was going to stay right where he was...at least for a few more minutes.

"-Ai, ai here we go again, who dare to go first?" Akne heard Ankhesen's voice question. Nobody came forward.

Akne, feeling much relieved, stepped up and looked at the hole in the floor. "How did that get there?" he queried. Ankhesen and Spethi rolled their eyes. "Here," Spethi, said giving Akne a big push into the hole." " Why dont you go ask for yourself.

Akne slipped down into the hole. It was dark, smelled a little funny and very dirty. In short, it was a little like the watering hole. He could hear Neffy in there somewhere, but her voice echoed and he could not tell where it came from. There appeared to be at least thirty doorways leading from the main chamber, all of them leading in a different direction.

His army training taught him how to deal with this situation...he could not remember it though. So he used the meathod taught to him by his mother. "Eeny meeny, miney moe"
