"Come one... Where is it?" A young woman of about 28 stood in front of a large book. She was turning the pages hurridly.

Lights appeared in front of her and the book. A man of a medium complextion materialized before her. He was wearing a long black robe, and what looked like a loin cloth type garment.

"You run, yet there is no escape. I have traveled to far, to fail now!" The man said. He pulled out a sword type weapon, and advanced on the young woman.

"Yea... well you shold have been preapred. I won't let you get my powers.

Take us back to whence he came
To time and place that are the same
Let present be past, That time regain" The barely clothed man looked around wildly as sparkles surrounded him and the woman.

"You can not hide from me!" The woman watched as first the man disappeared, and than she and her book soon followed.

Ardeth and his right hand man were riding through the desert. A return trip from Cairo. Things have been calm since the demise of the Scorpian King. Rick and Evelyn moved back to Cairo, and she took the position of Head Curator at the Cairo Museum.

"My lord, does it not seem to still in the desert... Quiet." Nadir asked Ardeth.

"Yes, Nadir. Something is not right. I only hope it has nothing to do with Hamunaptra."

It was near nightfall when Nadir and Ardeth stopped to rest their horses. Ardeth walked up to a large dune, and looked over the Sahara. It was much to quiet, when suddenly the sky started to thunder.

"Odd... It is not the Rain Season." He continue to watch the sky, and saw what, had it been anyone else, would of shocked him. Ardeth pulled out his Scimeter, and called out to Nadir. He never once took his eyes off of the swirling sparkles of light.

"NADIR! Bring the horses!" Ardeth only had to wait a few minutes, and than he mounted his horse. The two Med-jai galloped down the dune, just in time to see the light fade, and a woman with a book laying there.

Ardeth approached the woman, carefully and slowly. She was wearing odd clothing. Pants, the etype that O'Connell wears, but much MUCH tighter. She was wearing a corset. He knows because he saw some of the Europeans wearing them in Cairo. Ardeth continued to look her over, andpushed aside her long curly dark hair.

"She is unconscious. Hurry, we must get her back to the oasis." Nadir nodded his head in understanding, and picked up the large book that the woman was laying over. Ardeth picked up the girl, and carried her back to the horse.

The pain was throbbing in her head. She felt as if she had just been hit by a very large train. "Wow... Kalia you really gotta find a new way to defeat demons." Kalia said to herself. She held her hand to her forehead, and opened her eyes. "What the..." Kalia sat up quickly, maybe alittle too quickly. She suddenly became dizzy.

"You should not move to much right away. You have been unconscious for nearly a day." At the sound of a very masculine voice Kalia turned her head to the right.

"Who the hell are you?"
