The True Return to Life
Prologue: The end of one Journey…………….
This was it. This was what the Mummies had been working so hard for; Prince Rapses' spirit was finally reunited with his father. But it was a bittersweet victory for Presley. His friends, Ja-Kal, Rath, Nefertina and Armon, were dying again.
"It's been fun…………………..I wish we could have lived in this time for real." Nefertina said, her voice hollow and weak.
"Same here. I'm really gonna miss those Beefy Burgers." Armon said, getting a groan from Rath, who lay not too far from him. This got a teary, half-hearted smile from Presley.
"Be that as it may, we knew this day was coming." Rath said, with a sigh.
"Yes. But it still leaves at least one more to mourn our passing." Ja-Kal murmured, his voice stronger than the rest, but growing steadily weaker.
"I wish there was some way to stop this." Presley sobbed, helplessly. He was losing his best friends and there was nothing he could do to stop it!
"It can't be helped. We've done our duty; we've protected our prince. Maybe, someday, we'll meet again. We might not look the same, but you'll know us when you see us…………" Ja-Kal murmured, trailing off when the light left his eyes and his undead, mummified body went back to its original position; arms crossed over the chest. Presley watched as the other Mummies did the same, then crumbled into dust.
"Goodbye, you guys." Presley whispered, as tears flowed freely down his face. As he tearfully made his way home, Scarab glared down at him, his eyes full of hatred.
"You'll pay, boy, for stealing my immortality away………….Mark my words!" Scarab growled, before he disappeared into the night. Presley, unaware of the threat, continued on his way home. He didn't know that soon he would be involved in a whole new adventure!
Author's Note!
Incredibly short, I know, but Chapter One is still in the works. I hope to post it soon!
