The scenes are like from the game Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

The next day, Hex and Espio were already up and had their morning breakfast at the hotel. After that, they rode on their camels to start their adventure.
"Whoa, this is fun" Espio chuckled, having fun riding on a camel. Hearing them grunt noises.
"Heck yeah, and I must admit I knew you'll like it" Hex said, she rides a reddish brown camel. They were having a guide with them, he had a white cloak over his head and had shades covering his eyes, only his mouth and nose visible.
"So what is this ancient artifact that we're looking for exactly?" Hex asked the guide man.
"I believe it's called the Ankh Emeralds, Princess Hex" the guide said, giving her the rolled paper.
She unrolled it and looks at the pictures of these ancient artifacts, "No way. They do exist"
"Indeed they do, and it's not every day people like you want to search for them" the guide said. They walked down the Nile and came to the Great Temple of Abu Simbel, no tourists was around the place.
"Wow. I've seen these in movies sometimes but what temple is this?" Espio asked.
"The Abu Simbel Temple of Ramesses II" Hex said.
"Oh, but why is there only three of four having heads?" He asked again.
"This happened during an earthquake just after the temple was completed. Ramesses II was still alive, but he was never told about it. He died shortly thereafter, never knowing that his temple had suffered this destruction during the earthquake" Hex explained.
"I'll stay with the camels" the guide said and ties the ropes from the camels on a pole.
"Okay, me and Espio will be back" Hex said. She walked into the temple along with Espio and they saw how much the structure of the temple was a little ruined by the earthquake while some are intact.
"I hope it's true this Ankh Emerald is in this temple" Espio said to Hex.
"I hope so too. I thought it was only a legend" Hex said, walking around in the ancient temple to find something to get in the tomb.
"Wow. How old is this temple? 5,000 years old?" Espio asked.
"It was built in 1264 B.C. So it's probably more than 3,000 years old" Hex answered.
"Wow. Now that's very-Whoa!" Espio stepped in a trap and fell in along with Hex.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!"
Sliding down the sands in a swirly loop till them came to a pile of sand, tumbling down the ground to a stop.
"Urgh, where are we?" Espio asked Hex, dusting off the sand off him.
"It seems like a secret chamber, no one's ever been here but-…. whoa!" Hex felt something crawling on her neck.
Espio saw that a scorpion was on Hex's neck and he carefully picks it away at the wall. It fell into a pit.
"The scorpion must have come from that pit, so this means there may be more scorpions around here" Espio said.
"Yup, let's go" Hex replied and turned on her flashlight. They found a tunnel and as they passed some jackal statues, the eyes on them glow.
"This really feels like Tomb Raider" Espio said.
"Yeah, but I expect booby traps and some ambush around here" Hex looked around and heard a noise.
"Did you hear something?" Espio said, getting in his fighting stance.
The jackal statues come alive and snarls like real jackals, they jumped down from their place and they look really threaten.
"These Anubis jackals seem to be no match for us" Hex's eyes glows pink and she tried her bad-luck powers on them. Espio charges at two others and used ninja stars on them.
They whimpered like dogs and fell dead on the floor.
"That was too easy Hex, but there may be more traps" Espio said and they continue their search.
Soon they came to a lever and pull it. A door opens behind them. It was showing a slide to glide on.
"Ladies first" Espio lets Hex go in first, she glides down the slide on her feet, Espio came after her.
"That was fun than like the playground" Hex said.
"Yeah, but let's keep moving" Espio said.
They walked past two enormous statues and just as they are closing in to another door, sharp spikes came out of the floor, walls and ceiling. Espio and Hex jumped back after seeing the trap.
"That's a deadly trap, so we better be careful" Hex said and regains her breath after her shock.
"Yeah. I bet these traps are probably to keep intruders out" Espio guessed.
"It might be" Hex shrugged and they Dodges the deadly spikes and after a few minutes, they came to a large room with same trap.
"Oh no, not again" Espio sighs and they both managed to dodge them again. But Hex found a button that disables the spike traps.
As she pushed the button, the spikes stopped.
"There, now we need to find the chamber with that Ankh emerald" Hex said. Espio nods and they continue to search. Right now, no traps were visible and they found another door, but this one requires a key.
"Okay, this is gonna be hard to find" Hex said, crossing her arms.
Espio then spots three holes in the wall. He rubbed his chin, thinking.
"One of these holes must have the key" Espio wondered.
"I hope so. My snake sense is not tingling for a sign of deadly traps" Hex said.
She reaches out her hand in the middle hole, but there was no key there and she checked the left one and there was no key either.
"Hmmm, the right one" Hex figured out and reached for the right one, she found the key, it was dusty but could still be useful.
"Ladies first" Espio said.
Hex opened up the door with the key and they saw a crest made of solid gold and jewels.
"Rouge would love this" Hex smirks and gets to the crest, Espio follows her and they slowly open the crest.
Inside the crest was a golden ankh with a yellow stone emerald on it.
"Oh, my Ra. It really does exist for real" Hex gasped.
"It does!" Espio gasped too and hugs her.
"Yeahhehe, but let's get back so the guide is not worried" Hex said. She picked up the Ankh Emerald and puts it in her pocket.
"Yeah. Hey, there's a sunlight coming through there. That could be our way out of here" Espio said, pointing at the cracked wall.
"Alright, let's get out that way and get to our guide" Espio smiled. They crawled out through the crack and climbs over the temple. The guide down the temple was resting.
"Do you think you can glide while carrying me?" Espio asked.
"Yes I can. Hang on" Hex said as she carries Espio and jumps off the temple, gliding in the air with her cobra hood.
The guide woke up and saw them glide down to him and the camels.
"Did you find the Ankh emerald?" he asked them once they landed. Hex smiled and showed him it. The guide picks the ankh emerald and had a closer look.
"Oh my, it is real" the guide said and gave Hex back the ankh emerald.
"Yep, and let's head for next location" Espio said.
"The sun is setting. We'll try the next location tomorrow" Hex said.
