Epilogue
Randy, Howard, and the rest of the group followed Professor Ramses out of the museum and deep into the forest until they came across a road that lead down the hill. They looked down from hill as the police arrived to look for the origin of the commotion in the museum. The flashing of the red and blue lights was easy to see through the trees of the forest.
They then turned to their mysterious ally as he pulled out his phone and called someone. Randy and the others were more than ready to face against the man should he try something funny.
"I'm here, ready for the pick up... I understand, see you in five minutes," Professor Ramses said before hanging the call and looking to the still conscious young adults. "Sorry for that, but now we have time for questions."
"Alright, who are you and why should we trust you?" Gothetta asked showing her fangs.
Ramses didn't answer right away. He instead pulled up his left sleeve to she his naked arm. He lifted it up to show the back of his forearm. On Ramses' back forearm was the tattooed symbol of the eye of Horus. The symbol of the Medjay.
The revelation of the tattoo didn't clarified much for the ladies of the group. But Randy and Howard's eyes went wide at the sight of it.
"You're a Medjay," Randy said.
"Yes, like my father, grandfather, and many of my ancestors before me," Ramses said before pulling down his sleeve. "Ever since the days of old we Medjay have been watching over magical areas and artifacts."
"So when you heard that Amunett's tomb had been discovered..." Randy began.
"I was sent to ensure that the events transpired as they should," Ramses finished the sentence before pulling out a journal from his coat pocket. "I followed the instructions left by one of my ancestors. He fought by your side Red Scarf. Bayek. It turned out that the events happened in some form of a time loop. The events of the past happened due to you going back to ensure that they occurred."
"Wow," Howard said. "Now that's ancestry tracking for you."
"So, you're Bayek and Shadia's descendant? That's cool," Randy said.
"Yeah, that's cool, but what are you doing here now? Your part in this is over, isn't it?" Gothetta asked.
"Yes, the first part is over, but I am also tasked with returning this troublesome princess back to her people," Ramses said pointing to the unconscious Amunett. "Her father and other clans have been causing problems."
"So, that's it? You came you saw and now you're just leaving?" Howard asked.
"Are you sure there isn't more that you want to say?" Elsa asked.
"I am afraid that would be all for me, but if you're curious as to what has changed I recommend looking at the museum tomorrow," Ramses said.
At that moment, a pickup truck came up the road with two other Medjay riding in the back. They go down from the truck and pulled out a coffin from the back.
"Not that I care but, why should we trust you to just take Nofre?" Heidi asked.
"Yeah, what's stopping ya from staking her?" Phanty asked.
"I can assure you that we do not want an open vampire conflict in our home or anyone else's," Ramses said as Nofre was placed inside the coffin. "Our job has and still is to keep dangerous magic out of the eyes of the world."
Randy and Howard shared a look and then turned their sights onto Ramses. His words spoke the truth. He had the same frankness that Bayek had and was more than capable of leaving them to clean up this mess. So they had a good reason to trust him.
"Make sure that she arrives safely to her home," Randy said.
"We shall," Ramses replied as the coffin was loaded onto the back of the truck. "I hope we meet again under better circumstances, ladies and gentlemen. I bid you farewell."
After those words were exchanged, Professor Ramses got in the pickup truck and then it drove off into the night. Leaving the group alone.
"Well, I think we should call it a night," Howard said with everyone else agreeing.
After the group had explained to Lady Kryptina what had happened at the museum earlier and that they had gotten Nofre an express way back to her home they all went on their beds for a good doze of rest.
Randy laid down on his bed. He felt the softness of the pillow, after days in the desert and sleeping on hard cushions, it was just like setting your head on a cloud. The purple haired ninja got a good twelve seconds of feeling his bed before a tap on the window got his attention. Randy looked up and saw his girlfriend waving at him from the other side of the glass.
Randy smiled as he got up and opened the bedroom window.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Gothetta said.
"Don't worry, my bed will be there all night," Randy replied with a smile.
"I got your text message, what did you want to give me?" Gothetta asked.
Randy's eyes shot open, remembering what he had tested Gothetta earlier. He reached into his hoodie and pulled out one of the golden bracelets, causing Gothetta stare at it in confusion.
"Randy, didn't you leave that thing in the museum?" Gothetta asked.
"Yeah, I left the old one at the museum," Randy explained. "But Nofre's ancestor made two of these things and after we stopped him from using the book of Amunn-Ra to take over ancient Egypt along with Amunett and he was turned to ash by the morning, I figured I no one would miss this extra one,"
Gothetta was a little bit confused by the explanation.
"Ok, run it by me one more time," Gothetta said.
"Well, remember when Nofre said that her ancestor created two of these and then disappeared?" Randy asked, getting a nod from his girlfriend. "What actually happened was that he got caught in the rising sun without his bracelet to protect him, and you get the idea. And when we looked through his stuff I found this one."
"That's one heck of a story, Randy," Gothetta said looking at her boyfriend. "But why are you giving this to me?"
"Because you're one of the few people that I can trust with this," Randy said. "Also because I heard that your birthday was coming soon and I had no idea what to get you,"
Gothetta did her best to hold back a chuckle before kissing her boyfriend's cheek with a loving kiss.
"You can be such a dork sometimes," Gothetta said as a blushing Randy gave her the bracelet.
Back at the museum, security guards were looking around the Egyptian exhibition for any signs of the intruders. They used their flashlights to illuminate the room but they saw nothing and with the cameras having been pained over, no much luck there. One of the odd things that they had found was that the stolen bracelet had been returned in mint conditions.
"What kind of a thief breaks in to a place just to give stuff back?" asked one of the guards.
"Don't know, but it makes our jobs easier," another guard responded. "Now we still have to clean up this place for the other mummy. I think someone spilled some soda or something."
"Gotta get that bonus somehow," the first guard replied taking out a broom.
"Yeah, that other mummy princess that they found must be worth it," the second guard replied.
Unbeknownst to the two guards a golden vase laid down on the ground as a pair of red revolting eyes glowed through the golden material.
