THE EGGS OF APEP
Added 2021-03-29 21:00:45 +0000 UTCA new piece of ARCHINT from Caleb Stokes.
Buried within the D-Stack archives of the American Natural History is an unlabeled display of four small geodes in a glass case. If split with a saw, a stone glimmers faintly as the crystal within catches the light with an eerie, almost organic glow.
Within the base of the glass display, buried under a sheet of particle-board used to hold the dusty purple pillow upon which the rocks rest, lies documentation of the four stones. They were collected on one of Enoch Bowen’s expeditions in Egypt, supposedly traded to him by a nomadic desert wanderer who travelled with his expedition’s convoy for but a single day and night. The traveller said the white man’s arrival was a gift from Allah, as travelling the desert outside the comforts of his convoy would have caused the gems “to melt and reveal Apep.”
