"Ah, yes... The Pharaoh," Sasha nodded, bringing her right hand up to her chin, "Her patrols are becoming more frequent, and in greater numbers. My only guess is that she is trying to build up her forces to expand her sphere of influence. There are the Anubis, wolf-like leaders who are very orderly and authoritative, strong in themselves as they wield powerful mind-influencing magic but their true power lies in the vast numbers of mummies that they command. You see, her mummies have the special ability of not only quickly and efficiently subduing her foes with long strands of strong cloth, but turning them into more of her own soldiers. The Anubis are weak against strong-willed individuals who can overpower their spells which will surprise them allow you to subdue them rather easily. The mummies, however, are a bit more tricky. If you are caught in their bindings, try to reach out and touch their skin. They are very sensitive to direct stimulation of their bodies, and if you can touch them they will be unable to move let alone continue to attack you. There are also Golems, artificial life forms made of stone which are physically very strong and whose sole purpose is to gather semen from whatever source they can find. They follow commands written in runes on their bodies, and until they are fulfilled they will continue to mindlessly follow their last command. Lastly, there are the Sphinx. Generally they are quite easygoing, but if you should ever come across one of them and she asks you a riddle, you must answer correctly or she will attack you. They are very powerful, but they respect wisdom in whatever form it may take."
"I can't imagine you would wish to confront any of these as you are now, and yet they are vastly weaker in comparison to the Pharaoh herself. Standing at the head of a vast army of Anubis, Golems, and Mummies, she can take many forms. At times, she appears to be a giant viper, while other others she looks like a mighty lion. Most of the time, she looks like a human woman with an elaborate headdress and pure white robes decorated with designs sewn with golden thread, but this is not her true form. No one other than the Goddess herself has seen her true form and lived, which she only reveals when she is truly serious. The battle between them raged for months if not years, until the Goddess herself was defeated and sealed inside the Great Pyramid. When the Pharaoh fights, she holds nothing back, yet that is precisely what her true weakness is. Using the power of Undie, you should be able to see the flow of her body as it moves, and anticipate each and every one of her attacks and evade them effortlessly. Once she tires, it will be a simple task to seal her, yet that binding spell granted to you by Poseidon only works when she is in her true form. Also, utilizing Undie's powers when faced by someone such as the Pharaoh will be very difficult, since it requires a calm and serene heart devoid of all fear or anxiety. If you hesitate or slip up for but a moment, you will be unable to maintain your focus."
"Personally, the Pharaoh is very proud and self-seeking, only fearing those that she cannot control. Even she cannot rebel against the Succubus, which should give you an idea of just what sort of person you are up against. At present, I do not think that she wishes to crush you, but instead has taken an interest in you... Possibly as a potential replacement for her previous mate. You see, that is the reason why we call her the Sleeping Succubus. She lacks the spiritual power to maintain high levels of activity, so she spends most of the year sleeping... But that's a bit beside the point. If you defeat the Pharaoh and release the Goddess, it will doubtless draw more of her attention to you. The more powerful you become, the more desirable you are to her... So be careful, Sam," Sasha smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was not a romantic gesture, but rather a sign of her blessing which she was more than willing to grant him... After all, he would need all the support he could get.
"Concerning Undie herself, I can also tell you a bit about her as a person and what method she will likely use to test you," Sasha continued, "She used to be very kind and sociable, but for reasons that I am not privy to, she has become much more aggressive and uneasy as of late. She will likely wish to engage you in combat, placing you in a nearly impossible situation to see if you can clear your mind and find a way to defeat her. She can hide her form in any body of water, including the spring itself, and can create thick fog to further conceal herself. She is is impervious to most forms of attack as well, yet her most deadly power is her body itself. If she approaches you and envelops you in herself, it is all over... She can dissolve virtually any substance into herself, including you. Concerning the other elementals, however, I cannot say that I know very much about them..."
