(A Valentine's Day Mini-Event)
Word had spread, the Pharaoh Menmaatre Adjo was going on an expedition south along the Nile into Upper Khemet. The Pharaoh gave address that he had received a message from the Gods, and this was a mission of great import and a diplomatic one at that, but the journey could be potentially dangerous and he was looking for volunteers.
It wasn't long before brave sphinxes signed up to join the expedition.
The High Mage Ta'repy joined the Pharaoh in the journey on the royal barge which was sailing in consort with two other smaller barges. The team was optimistic as they travelled towards their goal. Once the group left the capital and were well on their way the Pharaoh gave word of how, while delivering the royal blessing to a new temple of Hathor, the deity herself appeared and spoke of the city of Merit far into Upper Khemet. She had assured the Pharaoh that they held the answer of how to correct the situation that had troubled Ahket over the last few years... the lack of cubs.
Over the next week the explorers met only a couple obstacles along the way. One an overly large crocodile who tried, and failed due to the sphinxes' efforts, to climb aboard one of the barges for a snack, and next a very ornery hippo that was magically averted and lulled to sleep by the High Mage.
After passing many small villages upon the banks and crossing the unofficial border from sphinx territory into the netjers', one morning the view of a beautiful city came into light. The temple was it's main building. The tall standing structure was decorated by many imageries of cows and the Goddess Hathor with her cow headed, or cow eared, forms. Surrounding the temple was a small city with gorgeous architecture.
Standing near the docks were many humanoid figures bearing the likeness of Hathor's sacred animal. Priestesses rattled their sistrums and shook their menats while singing songs of welcome and love. As the barges docked one of the priestesses stepped forward in greeting...
"Ii-wy em hotep, welcome in peace to Merit, the sacred city of Hathor... the city of love."
The priestess opened her arms in a wide, accepting manner.
"We have been awaiting your arrival."

OOC: This event will have casual RP, so you may choose up to two of your sphinxes (or netjers) (twitterpated ones are best) to chat/interact. You don't need to use those exact sphinxes for the games/giveaways/breeding, but you can if you wish.
