Alex had a little trouble getting back up to the Temple. The first time he climbed the rope, he lost his balance and came crashing to the ground. The second time was more successful and he was able to get up in good time. He ran down the passage and back into the Temple. He looked around and decided the statue of Osiris was the best place to start.
Alex looked all over the statue blindly, not knowing exactly what he was looking for. When he got to the base he found something interesting. He ran his hand over five indentations. He remembered watching Ardeth using the indentations on the wall. Alex took his still small hand and stretched his fingers out as much as possible. He reached them and base of the statue popped out.
Alex removed the side of the base and set in on the floor next to him. He reached his hand in, and they fell upon a small box. He pulled it out. It was a small and rectangular. Again the indentation was present on one side of it. He put his fingers upon it again and her heard a small click. Then numerous papers fell into his lap.
He looked down to find Ancient papyrus in his lap. He picked them up and looked over them, reading some of the Hieroglyphics. These were what he was looking for, now he just had to find the right one. He unrolled each one, trying as fast as he could to read the hieroglyphics.
The one he needed was the third to last one he read. He read the hieroglyphics. **To kill a spirit of Aknatri, you must first find the ring of gold with the four stones of Pharaoh Seti I. The ring must be upon the man who is willing to kill a spirit of Aknatri. Then the sacred water of Aknatri, from the Nile, must be retrieved. The ring is to be dipped into the water and the wearer will then behold the power. The incantation will then have to be repeated 3 times, while touching the head of the spirit. I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again. **
'How am I going to do this?' Alex thought to himself. He thought of his family fighting down in the tomb, and knew he had to do it.
Alex raced back down with the papyrus in hand, bypassing the rope and jumping. He ran to the room and quickly passed by the fighters. His Dad and Ardeth had Imhotep under control, and his Mum and Aunt Charly were fine, but his Uncle Jon looked to be having a bit of trouble with Beni. Alex turned around and went down the passage at the far end of the room.
He read the hieroglyphics above each door along the passage. He came to one with the words 'Falls of The Nile' over it. He found the indentations and entered through the opened door. Inside was a small box. Alex walked over and lifted it up, underneath was a chalice of water. "I hope this is it!" Alex then picked up the chalice and left the room, continuing down the passage again.
He them came to another door with the royal seal of Seti I over it. "This has to be it," he said to himself as he again spread his fingers over the indentations. This time the room was filled with many gold objects and jeweled boxes. Alex set down the chalice and began to go through the boxes. He found four rings. He began to examine each closely, looking for whatever the four stones of Seti were. He found one gold ring with four blue stones lined up in a row. "This is it!" he shouted
Alex took the ring back over to the chalice, dipped it into the water in the chalice and pulled it back out. The stones on the ring seemed to be glowing. Then he slipped the ring on to his forefinger. It was a little loose, but it would have to do. Alex picked up the papyrus once again then ran back to save his family.
When Alex got back to the room, he again surveyed how well each fight was going. The worst of all was Jonathan. Beni had backed him up into a wall and was trying to put a knife to his throat, Jonathan was holding the knife back as far from him a possible, but was quickly loosing his ground. He knew his Uncle Jon would have to be first
Alex took the incantation out again and quickly memorized it. Then he ran over to Beni, but tripped on something. He looked down to see it was a gun and reached down to pick it up. Then he got to Beni and brought it clear across his head, bringing him, falling to the ground, unconscious.
"Uncle Jon, help me." Alex yelled at his uncle, who had now collapsed in exhaustion against the wall.
Jonathan got up and walked over to Alex, kneeling down before him. "What do you need, partner?" He said, slightly out of breath.
"Hold him down just in case he wakes up."
"Alright"
Alex put his hand on Beni's grimy forehead, "I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again." Alex said as quickly as possible, but Beni was beginning to wake up and struggle a bit.
"Hurry, Alex!" Jonathan snapped
"I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again." Beni was now struggling more. "I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again." As Alex shouted the last of the incantation, a red light began to beam around Beni. Then in a matter of seconds, Beni's body decayed and turned to dust, blowing away from Jonathan and Alex joining the sands on the floor of the tomb in Aknatri.
Jonathan and Alex looked at each other quizzically. Then Jonathan looked around to find Charly. She saw her and Evy fighting with another girl in the center of the room. The girl had knocked Evy to the ground and was now coming towards Charly, who was backing up cautiously with her hands behind her back. She darted her eyes over to Jonathan and slightly smiled.
She then pulled out two pistols on the girl, aiming one at each eye. The girl faltered, and stepped back. Charly directed her gaze at Jonathan, and winked. Jonathan smiled back, realizing that she was so much like Rick, it was scary.
Evy had gotten off the floor by now and put her gun in the girls back. Then she turned her head to find Alex. When she found him she asked, "Do you have it?"
"Yes mum, right here." He replied holding up the papyrus and the ring. Evy nodded, and Alex ran over. He touched the back of the head of the girl then repeated his incantation again. "I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again. I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again. I wear the ring of Seti I, It holds the power of the ages, A spirit alive cannot be, a spirit dead is the end, in Aknatri truth be told, now this spirit shall sleep again." A red light appeared around Numanuskcna and she decayed into dust as well. Now, the only one left was Imhotep.
