Chapter 7
Carter's POV.
I woke up with a searing pain in my head and everywhere below it. When my vision cleared, I saw that I was tied to a wall and on my right there was Walt and Sadie, who were also, tied up.
I looked forward and saw that we were in a dungeon. But as I saw the wall in front of me dissolved to sand and was blown away by the wind. It would have been a cool trick to watch…if I wasn't tied up. But something told me I wasn't so lucky. As I watched stone blocks rose from the ground a formed a throne.
Sand from all sides came together in the middle of the throne and became setne.
"Finally, you're awake. You know, for a boy your age you sleep a lot."
When I got over the shock anger filled me.
"Setne…" I growled. "What have you done with Zia?"
"Oh nothing" he said with a grin. "Yet" he added and laughed.
"If you lay one of your slimy fingers on her…"
"You'll do what?" He laughed. "You are in no position to bargain and you know that."
"Please, don't hurt her." I pleaded.
"Oh I won't…. if you do exactly as I tell you to." He snickered.
I sighed. I knew this was going to end badly. But I loved Zia. Wouldn't you do anything to save someone you loved? I nodded.
"good." He said and waved his hand and a door appeared.
"This door will take you to the bottom of the grand canyon. Strange events will be happening at the top. These events are under the control of strange forces even Thoth cannot understand so I want you to stay out of the way. Search for a cave. In the cave you will find a blood stone, bring it to me and I will spare your girlfriends life. Oh and you have five hours to bring back the stone to me. This will bring you back once you get out of the cave. He threw a pendant at me and reflexively I caught it. I realized a split second slower that my hands were untied. I jumped ay setne but he vanished along with Sadie and Walt. I sighed and I opened the door…
