Warnings- These are warnings that will apply to the whole story and will be the only time they will appear. Slash in later chapters, don't like press the back button, language, violence, and maybe if I feel like it sex all in later chapters though...

Pairing- As of right now the only pairing that I can think of is the main one... Sphinx X Shiki (One of my friend's characters, so I don't own him, but she does...)

This story was an idea that has been around for a while... I could just never find a way to get it down... I hope I did a good job... This is my first attempt at anything in this category. Uhm, not much to say right now, so I guess... Enjoy!

For the would be flamers... The flames will be added to my bon fire of love as I call it. We won't go into details, flames give me a good laugh, so they are a waste of time... But I don't expect to get any... -looks around-

Prologue

There was once a man who was turned into a mummy… The fates frowned down upon him, but a demi-god warrior by the name of Sphinx tried to help this poor soul. Together with the help of the demigod's leader Imhotep the two defeated the evil Set, gathering the Canopic vases. Collecting all, but one… The last destroyed after the defeat of Set.

With no method to return to normal the cursed mummy, Prince Tutankhamen, was cursed to a fate of a body that would not die. There were other ways to free the young prince though. Unknown to them there was a trouble brewing on the area that would harness the greatest power… An area were magic dwelled, and odd peoples lurked.

A world set in chaos, an evil threatening them all…. The name of that world, was yet to discovered, it's whereabouts about to uncovered, in the most unlikely of places.

Library of the House of Luxor

"Do you see anything Tut?" The demigod warrior asked, sighing as he scanned yet another page of tome. His amber hues blinked out of view for a moment, as he let his clawed hands slide over his face. His lion tail twitched behind him, as it wrapped around one of the chair legs.

"No… Wait…" The mummy muttered, not taking his hues away from the book he was reading. His finger moved, as he followed the bandages, a grin coming to his face. "I might have found something…" Pulling away from the tome, he leaned in his seat. "It's says in that book there, that there was once a magic spell passed through the peoples of Elephantine. It has the power to bring the dead back to life…" He finished, his voice barely above a whisper.

Folding his hands in his lap, Tut looked down, playing with the edges of his bandages. "Do you think this could be the answer we are looking for?" He asked softly, watching as Sphinx moved, picking up the book, carrying it in his arms.

The demigod nodded his head, a smile coming to his lips, as his elongated canines showed. The brown markings on his face scrunched up slightly from the movements. His tail swayed behind him, as his claws dug into the stone ground, his body moving up and down slightly. He couldn't wait to show his teacher of his friend's finding.

"I'll go tell Imhotep you search for whatever you can about this Elephantine." He turned on his heels, feathered golden hair, moving slightly. Walking out, his nails clicked against the ground. He made his way to the prince's old bedroom, amber hues scanning the passerby's.

Stopping in front of the room to his friend's old room, Sphinx raised his hand, knocking the door softy. Moving his arms, he shifted the heavy tome's weight between arms, as he waited for the door to open.

A soft enter entered his twitching ears, as he sighed, opening the door. Stepping inside, he bowed slightly, before straightening himself out. "Teacher, Tut found this tome. We think the area mentioned may hold the key to returning him back to normal."

The floating monkey, turned around an eyebrow raised, as he held his hand out for the book. Feeling weight in his hand, he looked down, scanning the page himself, nodding himself. "I think this could work… I'm sure we have a portal key for Elephantine…" He muttered to his pupil, closing his hues. His tail flicked behind him, purple in color as it wrapped around one of his legs.

"Ah… Yes…" He said after a few moments silence, opening a pool he looked to Sphinx. "The key is in the palace basement."

Sphinx nodded, bowing as he was took the other's words as a dismal. Turning on his heels, he walked out of the room, making his way to the staircase that would take him all the way downstairs to the basement depths into the treasure room. The walk wasn't long, as soon as he entered the room, he started to search.

The search for the key itself took forever in the young demigod's mind, as he moved everything, looking in almost every nook and cranny. When he finally found what he was looking for, he made his way back upstairs, intending on gathering up the mummy, wondering if he needed to be there. His tail swayed behind him, as he hummed happy that he would finally be getting out of the palace. Being locked up was not for him, he had concluded in the first week. Walking into the library he found it void of life, or mummies. He shrugged it off to nothing, used to Imotep doing things akin to this by know. Making his way back to the bedroom, he stepped inside, seeing both Tut and his teacher there. "I found it." He said, holding out the golden amulet.

The monkey nodded, moving out of the way, behind him a golden creature stood. "I found it behind the Prince's wall earlier…" The man stated, extending a hand out for the two. "I won't be able to help you much when you go the other world, but look for people to help you." He knew there was someone there, he just wasn't sure who.

Sending a prayer, he watched the pair walk onto the golden circle, offering the amulet to the creature. In a flash of light and a roar the two were gone, off to a foreign world of unknown danger. Unable to do anything else, Imotep closed his hues, mediating, trying to calm his troubled mind.
