A Word from the Author: Hello friends of the night, this is jediclonecowgirl, with, FINALLY, a new chapter of "The Wizard Twins". I am sorry it took so long AGAIN, but I had a nasty case of Writers Block to deal with. At least in this...this time the gang will start in the Tomb of Storms. Let's get started shall we?
"It doesn't matter, where we wind up next Nicie, but I really hope, that we do not have to step down into places like this tomb there!", Nathan growled.
"Likewise.", Nicole replied.
The group had stepped down the Tomb of Storms. Some of them had pulled out flashlights again and Myrna and Luke had lighted torches. They searched for a clue on, what to do next. Neither the Order, nor Sergeant Major Talbot had given them any, before they had gone in there. The most of them were starting to get sick of the Tombs. Suddenly Nicole heared a noise, that sounded, like wind was blowing through the walls, but the tomb was over five meteres under the earth, so this couldn't be that.
"What was that?", Amy asked.
"With our luck an entire army of Tuts is waiting near us, to stab us in the backs.", Rob mumbled.
"Okay...this is getting scary.", Peter murmured, as they heared the noise again.
"Is this place...haunted or anything?", Jackson asked.
"Don't be silly mate...", Daniel replied, but he didn't sound quite sure himself to Nicole.
The group heared the noise again. Some of the girls shuddered and one of the younger boys whimpered in fear
"I am going closer...", Jackson whispered.
"Are you sure, that this is a wise thing to do mate?", Daniel asked.
"I'll go with you.", Oliver said.
"I appreciate that, but...", Jackson tried to protest, but Oliver wouldn't hear any of it.
"I will!", he insisted.
Togehter the two friends walked into the darkness of the tomb. The only light they had came from Oliver's flashlight. They heared the noise again and began to shiver.
"Oliver...we probably should NOT be here!", Jackson said, getting out his wand slowly.
"We really shouldn't be here!". Oliver confirmed and got out his wand himself.
What happened next, almost made the two boys drop their wands: A ghostly figure matrialized in front of them, but it wasn't the ghost of a Wizard or the ghost of a Mander, like the Sunray squad had often seen them in the Pyramid of Suns, it was the ghost of a Krok and not just any Krok. It was the ghost of the Krok slaver, they had taken down in the Krokosphinx: Krokothep. Oliver reacted quickly, with sending a spark at him and Jackson followed his friend. Since you could also attack some ghosts, when you were a Wizard, it would do some good, but instead of fighting back, the ghost of Krokothep put his hand up in defense.
"I mean no harm! I mean no harm!", Krokothep yelled.
The boys kept their wand arms raised and looked at the ghost with caution and raised eyebrows.
"Guys...get over here!", Jackson yelled.
One after the other the boys and girls of Silverstar and Sunray came and got out their wands, as soon as they realized, what was going on. Some of them were moving protectively in front of some other people, others were pushing themselves in the first row, ready for everything.
"You're outnumbered, so don't try any silly stunts with us!", Oliver hissed dangerously.
"Otherwise we all can get very dangerous...we are not Novices anymore!", Nicole warned.
"Young Wizards please...I mean no harm. After the duel back at Krokosphinx, I realized my mistakes. After you did the final strike, my spirit was transported here. I can not move on, until...", Krokothep said, but then he broke off.
"Until what?", Titania asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Until...I made up for everything I did. I have no clue, if it will ever be enough, since I did cruel things, but I think it's a start, if I help you to defeat the mighty Krokopatra.", the ghost of Krokothep said.
"Krokopatra?", Nathalie repeated questioningly.
"She is the queen of all living Kroks. The princes of all Krok families are ancestors of her...in some way.", the ghost replied.
"A member of the order is waiting for you in one of the chambers to guide you to through the three tests you will have to face to prove yourself worthy. You will see, who, that is, when he stands before you.", the ghost said, before disappearing.
The group dropped the arms, they were holding their wands with and turned around to look at one another. They were clueless and a bit furious.
"Okay? Any idea, where we are supposed to go? I which chamber?", Titus almost yelled.
"And what, if that ghost lied to us? Maybe he wanted to set a trap for us right here, so we suffer a painful death in this tomb!", Titania growled.
"That's a risk we're going to have to take.", Nicole sighed.
"Delly...do you have any idea how we are supposed to find this order member? Maybe there is something in your books, we can use.", Nathan asked then.
Without saying a word Claire slipped Delly's backpack off her back, pulled out one of the books in it and then slipped off her own backpack to pull out her wand.
"What is she planning to do?", Jackson asked, earning a shrug from the other Sunray squadmates.
Claire began to flip pages, keeping her wand in her other hand. The others were trying to figure out, what she was trying to do, but, as always, Claire didn't speak one word. Then she reached the page, she obviously had wanted and waved her wand over it, mumbling a spell. Then she slammed the book shut and gave it back to Delly, before tucking her wand back in her own backpack and motioning the rest of the group to follow her.
Ending Word: Well...in what kind of Drama will Claire lead them? *snickers" I hope you aren't too mad at me for taking so long to write that chapter again. Writers Block...ugh! I hope you still liked the chapter and I hope, that you will leave some reviews behind. Now all I have left to say is bye, bye.
