Shaman Raiders: Exploring the ancient tombs of Egypt
Chapter 1
It had been three years since the end of the shaman fight, since Yoh had defeated Hao in the star sanctuary. Yoh Asakura was now sixteen years old. He became interested in myths, legends, adventures, ancient artefacts and the Egyptians. He learnt how to read Hieroglyphics and he studied the history of Egypt and many other places. After two years of studying he joined a museum called Ancient Adventures and became an apprentice to an explorer and archaeologist called John Smith. Yoh travelled with John for a year visiting ancient temples, tropical jungles and diving deep under the deep blue sea.
After a year Yoh and John went to Egypt to find out more about the tombs. They travelled across the desert for three days until they reached their destination. The tomb of Sati.
The sixteen year old boy was kneeling against the dusty wall studying the hieroglyphics. His shoulder length chestnut hair was tied up with a band to prevent his bangs from falling across his face. His onyx eyes stared at the ancient writing and his smooth face showed an expression of deep concentration. He was dressed in blue shorts along with a white vest top. A bear claw necklace and a pair of orange headphones hung around his neck. A small backpack lay against his feet. The backpack contained a knife for self-defence, a torch for exploring the darker parts of the tombs, a plastic bottle full of water and a couple of oranges. Yoh continued to study the wall occasionally writing notes in the notebook on his lap and taking photos with his handheld camera. He was so fascinated with his work that he didn't notice the thirty year old explorer come up behind him. "How's it going Yoh" the sandy haired explorer asked. "It's going great, these hieroglyphs are amazing, so fascinating" replied Yoh without looking away from his work. "That's good to hear" John happily announced before ruffling Yoh's hair
The fire crackled in the dancing wind and the midnight sky showered darkness onto the camp. Yoh lay on his back watching the stars wink in the moonlit sky. John was sitting a few meters away reading through Yoh's notes. Another hour passed before John spoke. "These are very good notes, very detailed". Yoh looked down from the stars and his onyx eyes rested on John's blue eyes. John was a blonde haired, blue eyed, kind, funny man who loved challenges. His mischievous eyes burned with curiosity. He was dressed in brown combat shorts and a light blue vest top. His short hair was covered with sand and a tools belt hung around his waist. "Thanks" Yoh replied before diverting his gaze back up to the stars. Slowly John stood up and stretched his cramped legs. He carefully put Yoh's notebook and pictures back into Yoh's rucksack before heading back to his sleeping bag laid out by the fire. "You should get some sleep. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow" John stated before lying down in his sleeping bag. Yoh nodded his head in agreement before slowly closing his eyes and let the dreams take over.
We rushed at each other, putting all of our strength into one last attack. Hao and the spirit of fire, me and Amidamaru. "Spirit of Fire" Hao yelled. "Celestial slash" I shouted. There was a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared the last thing I saw was Hao falling to the ground in a pile of blood before the patch village disappeared like dispersing mist.
The sound of someone calling my name released me from my dreams. "Yoh wake up, we need to start heading down into the tomb". I groaned before opening my eyes to look at the explorer standing above me. "Didn't you get any sleep" John asked me, a worried look on his face. "Had a nightmare" I replied before slowly getting up.
It was seven AM in the morning and the sun was shining brightly. Yoh quickly wolfed down his breakfast; two bread rolls and an orange, before following John down into the tomb. Inside the dark, dusty, silent tomb Yoh was exploring another walls marking. Yoh blew away the thick coat of dust and sand covering the wall. In the middle of the wall was a strange drawing. It showed a mummy on fire rising from the dead. Above the man's head there was a sculpture of a golden scarab beetle. Yoh studied it for a second before slowly reaching out his hand to touch it. At his touch the scarab slid into the wall. A low rumbling sound could be heard before the wall split in two and opened revealing a long, dark, sandy passage. Yoh coughed the sand and dust out of his windpipe before stumbling to his feet. Loud footsteps told Yoh that John was rushing over. "Yoh are you ok? Oh my god what happened?" John asked after staring at Yoh then the passage opened up in the wall. "Touched the scarab beetle that opened the entrance to this secret passage" Yoh mumbled quietly. John smiled at Yoh, "Now we have something really interesting to explore, come on let's go". John ran off down the passage and Yoh cautiously followed.
The darkness closed in on all sides. Yoh could barely see his hand in front of his face. "John" Yoh called out uncertainly, "John where are you?" Yoh was answered by a deathly silence. 'Fantastic' Yoh thought sarcastically. Yoh stumbled forward for five more minutes until he felt himself walk into a hard wall. "Ouch" Yoh cried out loud, rubbing his sore forehead. A faint wailing in the distance made Yoh freeze on the spot. 'What was that?' Yoh thought before slowly making his way to the left towards the origin of the sound. A square of light told Yoh that there was an opening in the distance. Quickly Yoh scrambled towards the light.
He found himself in a large torch lit room. Dust lay undisturbed on the floor and creepy cobwebs hung from the ceiling. In the middle of the room there was a large coffin made of pure gold. "Wow" Yoh whistled. Slowly Yoh crept over to the coffin to get a closer look. The same scarab beetle was engraved onto the coffin along with a message in hieroglyphics. Hesitantly Yoh moved closer until he was a couple of centimetres away from the coffin. The gold cast luminous reflections in the flickering torchlight. "What on earth is this, a mummy?" Yoh wondered aloud. He took a couple of pictures of the coffin before running back into the dark passage to look for John.
Half an hour later Yoh scrambled out of the passage covered from head to foot in sand and dust. Coughing the dust from his lungs, Yoh walked forward and collided with the tall explorer. "Yoh I found you" John cried out happily, crushing Yoh in a massive bear hug. After regaining circulation in his arms Yoh took out his pictures of the coffin and walked over to John. "Hey John when I was looking for you I stumbled upon a room with a golden coffin inside. I took these pictures of it" Yoh explained while giving the pictures to John. John studied the pictures for a second before smiling and ruffling Yoh's hair. "Well done Yoh, this is a brilliant find, we can bring this back to the museum" John cried out excitedly, "Well done Yogi Bear". "Stop calling me Yogi Bear" Yoh moaned. "Why I think it's a brilliant nickname" John pointed out. Yoh sighed. "Fine you can call me Yogi Bear sometimes but only you ok". "Ok" John agreed before giving Yoh another bear hug. "Let's go back outside, I think that we have done enough exploring for one day" John stated after releasing the crushed shaman. "Ok" Yoh happily agreed. A smile crept over his face before he skipped towards the exit followed by John.
