By sunset, the group was ready. Sanura stood outside the small cave they took shelter in, the wind blowing her waist-length black hair around her. Her violet eyes matched the colors in the Western sky. Marik couldn't stop staring at her. Since Bakura had rescued him four years earlier, he'd fallen in love with the younger girl. However, Bakura simply wouldn't have it. He was far too protective of his little sister to allow even his best friend to get too close to her.
"You both ready?" Bakura asked, glancing over at the other two as he sheathed his dagger.
"Yeah." Marik nodded. "We're ready.
"Let's go then." The oldest boy smirked.
They headed off towards the close-by Valley, nothing but weapons, small food provisions, a few tools, and sacks. If Bakura was right, they'd be carry out a lot of things. Maneuvering through traps like that was going to be difficult. Marik still was a bit unsure they would be able to do it. Hopeful, but not convinced. He knew Bakura could be overconfident sometimes.
It wasn't long before they arrived. The guards were focused and alert. They hid in a small crevice close to the tomb they were aiming for. Sanura whispered something, a small spell, and the guards when running as if they'd heard a scream. The thieves took their chance and snuck into the tomb.
"So... what's the first thing we'll need to avoid?" Marik asked in a whisper.
"Trap doors. Five of them within the next eight hallways." Bakura replied. His eyes were scanning the dark halls. There was no light, however all three of them were plenty used to seeing in the dark. Lighting torches within a tomb is far too dangerous to do.
"And after that?" Sanura inquired.
"Take your pick. Just follow my lead." Bakura said, starting down the steep, narrow hallway. Sanura followed immediately after. Marik hesitated for a moment, a bad feeling within him. However, he knew Bakura would never forgive him for staying there, and turning and leaving was no longer an option since the guards would undoubtedly be back.
'Well, here goes everything.' He thought as he made his way after the over two.
