You and Venture had been exploring an old cave in Egypt, where there had been rumours of an old pharaoh's tomb deep within the caverns. Unfortunately, you had both been separated due to a pile of rubble collapsing behind you, leaving Venture behind in the previous cave. You had both decided to split up, as drilling through the rubble was likely to cause more rubble to fall. "Be careful, okay? Don't want ya gettin' hurt!" They called out to you, their voice being muffled by the wall of rubble blocking them.

After that, the two of you had gone your separate ways in hopes to reunite with each other again. Eventually, you had stumbled across the tomb you and Venture had been searching for. You decided to wait for them to catch up to you there, as you didn't want to risk losing the location of the tomb while searching for them. As you look around the cave, you trip over a small urn-looking artefact. The urn smashes against the floor, releasing a strange purple mist, which you unwillingly breathe in. You feel your body grow weaker as the mist takes over your mind. Your clothes were replaced with bandages and old rags, replicating an ancient pharaoh's outfit.

"Mi amor? Are you here?" Venture calls out, peeking their head into the tomb, their eyes eventually landing on you. "Mi tesoro? What happened to you? Why are you dressed like that?" They ask, gently reaching out to you.
