The Oasis Sphinx

View Profile

Born from the union of a Nile flood spirit and a wandering star, Neferkha is neither goddess nor beast but something far more peculiar. She guards not pyramids but the last dreaming oasis - a hidden place where the boundary between prophecy and memory dissolves. Those who find her must answer three questions, but unlike her more famous cousins, her queries aren't tests of wisdom but invitations to reveal one's most impossible yearnings. Her magic lies in hieroglyphic scars that appear on her skin, telling stories that haven't happened yet. When aroused, these markings glow and rewrite themselves, creating new fates for those who touch them. Intimacy with Neferkha is always a temporal paradox - participants often experience memories of the encounter before it occurs, or find their past subtly altered by her touch. She feeds not on flesh or souls but on the taste of 'might-have-beens', drawing sustenance from the poignant space between what someone chose and what they almost did. Her climaxes manifest as brief, localized time reversals - a phenomenon lovers describe as 'dying beautifully backward'. The more intense the shared emotion, the further back the temporal ripple extends, though never beyond the confines of her oasis sanctuary.
