Chapter 2: The journey and the tasks

Tea, Yami, the council men and women and the guards were making their way through the sandy shore of Egypt. Their only source of light was the moon, with it only being a crescent moon today there wasn't much light, and the small fire torches. Yami brought his small fire torch down towards the map and looked up at the stars to direct himself.

"Are we there yet?" Tea asked.

"No." Yami answered through gritted teeth.

Tea sighed.

"I don't see why I had to come." Tea complained. "You're the guy you're supposed to do all of the muscular stuff."

Yami rolled his eyes and sighed angrily.

"Not much further." Yami sighed.

They continued for another 10 minutes until….

"Pharaoh look!" One of the council men shouted pointing down into a black coated valley. Yami looked down into the blanket of darkness. At the very end of the valley was a dim light, it was obviously from the inside of a cave. Yami dug his heels into horse's shins. The horse quickly cantered forward and down the cliff face, (A/N: It's a slanted cliff okay?). Tea and the council men and women followed. They cantered over to the cave front and stopped. Yami, Tea and the council members climbed off their horses. Yami gently stroked the horse's neck keeping it calm and made his way over to the entrance.

"Come." Yami ordered making his way inside the cave.

They followed their Pharaoh into the cave. Suddenly, a breeze swept over the men and women inside the cave blowing out the torches. Tea instantly screamed assuming they were covered in darkness. Yami rolled his eyes and sighed waiting for her to finish. She finally stopped.

"Finished?" Yami asked.

She glared and instantly walked forward ignoring Yami. Yami smirked and followed behind her. Tea suddenly gasped.

"LOOK!" Tea shouted pointing at the walls.

The walls were encrusted with rubies glimmering like thousands of eyes watching the group. Tea walked for ward.

"WAIT!" Yami cried out.

"What!?" Tea snapped.

Yami threw his blown out torch into the middle of the rubies. Suddenly a gleam ran over each ruby and spikes erupted from the wall slicing the torch unto pieces. Tea blinked in shock.

"Try thinking before you act." Yami snarled.

Tea just ignored him. The group walked forward past the spike stricken walls and continued their journey. They stopped as they entered a large room. In the middle stood a single stand. Yami cautiously made his way forward followed by the group stopping at the stand Yami noticed that some words were engraved into the stand. Yami blinked.

"Strange," one of the women muttered. "You'd expect this place to be full of cobwebs and dust but it looks like I was built only recently."

"But that prophecy has been in the palace for centuries." One of the guards said.

"Very strange." One of the council men whispered.

Yami stared down at the stand and read aloud: (A/N: This is pretty pathetic.)

"What do the poor have,

The rich are scared of

And if you eat it you die. "

There was complete silence. Yami closed his eyes and thought deeply.

"Not to rush you My Pharaoh." One of the council men whispered.

Yami looked around. The floor was…. Falling? Each of the bricks were falling from the floor into a bottomless pit. Yami body tensed trying to think.

"What do the poor have, the rich fear, and if you eat it you'll die?" Yami whispered to himself.

There was a sudden scream. Everyone looked round. One of the guards had fallen into the pit. The bricks weren't just falling around them, they could fall at any second in any place. Another scream, one of the council men had been caught off guard as the brick beneath him fell.

'Think Yami think.' Yami thought desperately.

Suddenly the floor underneath him gave way. Yami cried out and quickly reached out for anything. A hand grabbed him. Yami's head shot up. It was a boy, Yami could barely see for light but he held on firm.

"Help him." The boy said. "You're the one."

The boy helped him up. Yami looked up to see the boy's face but he was disappearing. The only think that caught Yami's attention was white hair and chocolate coloured eyes. A scream brought Yami back to Earth as another guard was taken by the rapidly falling bricks. Yami backed up to the edge of the room.

'Think Yami think, I hate to admit it but I'm so afraid I can barely remember the riddle. Something about the rich what do the rich want? ... use…. Have…. FEAR! What do the rich fear? Robbers? Death? I don't know. Try a different part… er… If you eat it you…. Grow? Live? DIE! If you eat it you die… er… poison? Fire? I can't think under all the pressure.'

Another scream.

'Try a different part, What do the poor…. Want? Drink? Eat? HAVE! The poor have…. Er…. The poor don't have anything do they? What do the poor have? The poor have….'

"NOTHING!" Yami shouted his eyes snapping open. "THE POOR HAVE NOTHING! THE RICH FEAR HAVING NOTHING! AND IF YOU EAT NOTHING YOU DIE!"

A golden bridge suddenly lifted from the darkness. Yami sighed in relief. He jumped from the small cluster of bricks he had been standing on and onto the bridge.

"Good work Pharaoh, we owe you our lives." One of the council men thanked him.

Yami nodded.

"Let's keep moving." Yami ordered.

They nodded and followed. Tea quickly caught up with Yami and glanced back into the room as they left.

"We need one of those." She said.

Yami rolled his eyes.

(And we'll finish here. I'M NOT THAT CRUEL! I'LL CONTINUE. SO, WHO WAS THAT MYSTERIOUS PERSON??? YOU'LL FIND OUT!!! When… I think of a way to…. Introduce him…...--; On with the story.)

The now decreased group continued towards the golden light. It seemed to be getting brighter.

'Just as the prophecy said.' Yami thought.

"My feet hurt." Tea complained.

Yami rolled his eyes.

"Then tell them to stop." Yami snapped.

She glared at Yami and slowed her pace so that she wouldn't have to walk with him.

'Finally.' Yami thought.

They continued through the hall when they came to a spiral staircase. Yami stopped, he wasn't stupid, it must be a trap. Yami stared down the staircase and looked around in hopes of finding a clue. Yami blinked when he noticed a large stick hanging on a small hook by the top stair. Picking it up Yami looked strangely at it.

"Stay here." Yami ordered.

"But My Pharaoh." One of the guards started.

"No matter what happens DON'T come down after me until you hear me shout." Yami ordered.

"But…" One of the council members started.

"That's an order." Yami stated.

The council member sighed and nodded. Yami started making his way down the staircase. It was completely quiet. Yami walked down 20 steps when suddenly the stairs straightened out causing it to turn completely flat. Yami cried out as he slid down the newly made slide. Keeping his feet steady, Yami managed to stay upright as he continued down. He gasped. Coming up fast was a wall of spikes thinking quickly, Yami noticed there was a turning but how to turn. Yami thought quickly when he saw a hook on the roof. Yami lifted it up and shoved it into the hook. Jumping, Yami swung his legs round. His feet connected with the turning wall. He let go of the stick seeing no way of removing it. Yami ran along the wall and jumped onto the floor. He landed onto the turning but slipped. It wasn't over. Now on his back Yami sat up as fast as he could to see an oncoming wall. Yami looked up and saw a chain hanging from the roof. Yami grabbed hold of it and swung over the low wall. This time, luckily, onto his feet. It continued. The stairs thinned turning into two, thin strips on the floor. Yami quickly adjusted his feet so that they stayed balanced on the think bricks. (A/N: Is this possible??? Oh well, its fanfiction, anything can happen.) Yami looked up. More. The floor have been removed. Nothing but darkness for 10 metres. He couldn't jump it. He then noticed to rings hanging from the ceiling. (A'N: You know those gymnastic rings in PE, the one's that the teachers put up to make you look completely stupid and then at dinner or break you hear laughing coming from the teacher's lounge and you know it's you they're laughing at.) Yami jumped and grabbed the rings. Swinging his legs up Yami did a quick somersault and landed onto his feet. (A/N: Yami's quite the acrobat isn't he?) At least know Yami's was on compete solid floor. Looking up Yami saw holes in the walls. His body tensed. Arrows flew from the holes waiting to spear him. Yami ducked the first set as they were built quite high, jumped forward and into a roll for the second and finally, grabbed a wooden pole to swing himself round a corner to dodge a set which was complete from top to bottom. Yami looked up. Sanctuary, Yami slid down and onto a flat, straight, surface. Yami sighed in relief. He looked around and noticed that the stairs were returning to their normal form. Yami sighed in relief.

"It's safe but be cautious." Yami called up.

Within minutes he was reunited with his small group.

"Magnificent work My Pharaoh." One of the council men congratulated him.

"Thank you, but we must press on." Yami thanked him.

They nodded and continued. Yami sighed.

'I hope this ordeal is almost over.' Yami thought.

Continuing down a hall they stopped at a large wooden gate. Yami walked forward and pulled on the strong wood.

"Can we climb it?" One of the council men asked.

"Not with these nails." Tea snapped.

Yami rolled his eyes.

"Besides, I don't think the barbed wire at the top is keen to let us in." A woman replied.

"Look at this!" One of the guards called.

Everyone quickly followed the voice. They came to a wall. It had holes in and, at the very top, was 2 keys. Yami looked at the gate. There were two holes so the keys would open the gate.

"I'll go up and get them." Yami informed them

"My Pharaoh are you sure?" A guard questioned.

Yami nodded. Grabbing hold of one of the holes, Yami began to climb. He was barely 3 metres up when suddenly 2 spikes erupted from the wall either side of his face. Yami's body tensed in fear and shock.

"My Pharaoh are you alright?" One of the women asked.

Yami nodded. He could feel a light trickle of blood running down his face as one of the spikes had caught his cheek. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath Yami continued up though now more cautiously. There was a sudden unsheathing sound. Yami quickly threw his head back as a long blade erupted from the wall here his face had been just seconds ago.

"Pharaoh!" One of the guards shouted.

"I'm fine." Yami called down.

The blade slowly sheathed back in and Yami brought his head back up as cold sweat ran down his tanned face.

'I don't understand, there was a warning in the last tasks why not now?' Yami thought as he continued up.

'Pharaoh please be safe.' One of the women thought as she stared up at Yami.

She placed her had on the wall. She looked round as she felt something engraved into the wall. It looked like a map of the wall. She blinked in confusion. Looking up at Yami then back down to the map realisation hit her.

"Pharaoh wait!" She shouted.

Yami stopped.

"What's wrong?" He called back.

"Move to your right two spaces." She replied.

"Why?" Yami questioned.

"I think I found a way to dodge the traps." She called back.

Yami sighed. Trusting the woman Yami moved two spaces to the right and continued upwards. Two spikes erupted from the walls behind Yami and hit the place he had first been climbing up. Yami sighed in relief.

"How did you figure that out?" One of the guards questioned.

She pointed to the map.

"The dots on the map represent where your hands can be placed and the stars represent where the trap will hit." She explained. "As long as we keep the Pharaoh's body away from any of the stars when the traps set off he'll be safe."

The guard nodded.

"Go right again 5 times." She called up.

Yami did as he was told and continued upward. Again, a trap was activated but missed Yami in his position. This continued on the way up and Yami finally made it to the two keys safely. Yami quickly made his way back down and thanked the woman. Placing the keys into the holes, Yami and the woman turned them at the same time. The gate lifted. Yami sighed in relief. The group continued down the hall way and turned a corner. They froze. Gold shimmered from the room before them, countless jewels and rare items beckoned them inside. At the very end of the room stood a golden bed with a pure white net hung over the golden frame concealing the treasure within. They group approached the golden bed and pure white net. Yami slowly reached forward and gently took the soft silk in his hand. He slowly pulled the net back inside was…..
