WITCHES
Sekhmet merely gently cradles the egg and closes her eyes. There's no light show and hardly a sign the demon queen is awake for a minute or so.

She's probing the soul egg, both magically and psychically. She wants to know what force sculpted a soul into this shape, what connects it to its body, and what it's doing in the meantime. Soul architecture is a delicate thing, and she takes her time to get as close a look as she can without disturbing anything.
