Chapter 10

It took Isis a few more days to wake up and when she did Teddy was waiting on her. He looked worried and she knew that it was because she had gotten hurt. She slowly pulled herself up to a setting position, grimacing in pain.

"Are you alright?" Teddy asked her.

"I'm fine," Isis told him, "Though I'm a little sore."

"Want me to get a Healer?" Teddy asked her.

"No, I'll be fine," Isis said, "So what's happened while I was out cold."

"I went to the home of the family of that guard that died and the brother answered the door."

"What happened?" Isis asked.

"He believes that the Gods are real and that the curse of the Pharaoh's will fall down on us," Teddy answered.

Isis became thoughtful. "I highly doubt that a curse killed the guard or anyone. I didn't sense any evil magic in the tomb despite the fact that something was in there that shouldn't have been."

"So a human being killed them," Teddy said.

"I firmly believe that the killer was very human," Isis told him, "If it wasn't I would of still sensed it. Liars can't hide from my senses."

"Do you remember what happened?" Teddy asked her and Isis nodded, "What was that like?"

"Like nothing that I'm sure that even my father has experience," Isis answered. "However during that time I knew all sorts of magic, magic that no mortal knows, but I also know that power is not everything but kindness and generosity are the keys. Those that seek power always forget these things."

She spoke with wisdom and deep down Teddy understood.

"So what's the plan?" Teddy asked.

"I need to figure out what the reason for the deaths but I also need to understand how it all began."

"How?"

"Well that's where you come into the picture," Isis told him, "We solved one mystery together and we'll solve another."

Teddy smiled at her.

"Thanks," Teddy said.

"No problem," Isis said, with a smile on her face.
