All is bleak...
The Egyptians have taken over the world. Led by Pharaoh Amenophis, along with his army of the dead, they slowly took over all the nations. Everything and everyone was killed by the seemingly unstoppable mummy soldiers. They have no free will, only doing what they are told, and that makes them fearless. It seemed that soon every part of the earth would bow to the Empire.
Only the city of Venice stood strong. The beautiful place has been under siege for 30 years, and there is one key to the Venetians' success. The stone lions. They have guarded Venice for hundreds of years, living peacefully alongside the humans. Their strength and intelligence is revered, andand such. they soon came to be known as the Protectors of Venice. The flying and speaking creatures, as big as horses, carry humans on their backs occasionally, usually one of the councilors. The councilors rule Venice, deciding on laws and such.
The stone lions were the ones who discovered the few ways to destroy a mummy. The easiest was to behead them, but fire worked just a well. Human soldiers on the ground took care of occasional mummy invasions, while the lions dealt with Sunbarks. The Sunbarks are another feared weapon of the Egyptians. The flying boat-like objects absorbed energy from the sun, and became useless at night. That is one of the few advantages the Venetians have: the Sunbarks cannot fly at night, so it is impossible for them to attack under the cover of darkness.
This is the predicimate of the wonderful city of Venice. Only the stone lions stand between the Egyptians and the fate of the world. They will fight with tooth and claw to protect the city they love, even if it costs them their lives. Are you brave enough to fight beside them?
Will they survive?
