The Prophecy of these Stories

The Horsemen cometh

One from a place where light is dark and dark is light

One from the mind of a fiend turned friend

One from a dimension that is a multiple of 7 and whose digits add up to 18

One who attacks weak points in the tree of time

They all serve the one nearly as old as time

To revive him they need the three books older than he

The book where this was first written down

The book of Cthulhu, the one that governs the dead

And finally the book entombed with an evil pharaoh

Chapter One

One

It had been a week since the Battle for the Sibylline, and all that had been done was a failure to locate the Book of Thoth. Well, the group that went Avalon returned with the Sword in the Stone. One, Tac, and Net had gone to the tomb of Khaemwaset, also known as Setne. He supposedly had the Book of Thoth last, but it was not there.

"Heading to Setne's tomb was a dead-end," One reported at breakfast. Everyone was there talking about what to do next. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"We talk to Setne himself," Kurt replied.

"How are we supposed to do that?" Two asked.

"By taking a trip into the Duat," Kurt explained.

"No need for zat," Phoenix remarked. "I still know when spirits have escaped, Setne isn't in ze Duat."

"So where is he?" Nine asked.

"He sends off multiple signals at once," Phoenix responded. "He is currently giving off signals from ze Pyramids, a gift store in Manhattan, ze Great Wall of China, ze White House, ze Hollywood sign, and ze Ministry of Magic."

"Well let's eliminate the obvious," Grant commented. "The Manhattan gift shop and the Hollywood sign. Why would he be near a gift shop? The Hollywood sign is nearby the entrance to the Greek underworld. If he is trying to stay out of the underworld, living near the entrance isn't such a smart idea."

"Four areas, it might be a good idea to send in four groups of four," Tac reasoned.

"Four groups of five," Megan retorted. "James, Albus, Scorpius, and I have been valuable assets to this team. It can't just be the Sixteen doing everything. They have always done even the trivial tasks like bringing the Creeper food."

"This seems rehearsed," Davante noted.

"She does have a point though," Baba pointed out.

"Agreed," Kurt agreed. "So Megan, James, Nine, Two, and Net will go to the Pyramids. Ten, Four, Seven, Six, and Lix will go to the White House. Eight, Five, Newt, Heb, and Albus will go to the Great Wall. Mila, Three, One, Tac, and Scorpius will go to the Ministry. You will be leaving in a few minutes."
