Disclaimer: Just because Rick's tied up in my basement, doesn't mean he belongs to me (I'm just borrowing him, I swear!). Neither do Alex, Jon, Ardeth, or the Scorpion King belong to me. Dani and Skaryel belong to Dani, I just hope I dont savatage her too much!
Notes: Well, I lost this story on my old account, and I figured it was time for a new one anyway, so here we go. I know The Scorpion King and Rick/Evy's past lives didn't happen at the same time, but I got this idea from an old RP, and thought it was too good of a story line to pass up, all my ancient Egypt stuff probably isn't very correct, but hell, mummy's dont really come back to life either!
Summary: (Sequal to Live Again) When life is finally falling back into place Dani decides to go on an adventure that will teach everyone more about themselves then they ever imagined.
HELP!: If anyone ever comes up with a better title, I'll happily take and suggestions!
Confines of Fate
Prologue; What has Past and What Will Come
He ran as quick as his legs would carry him, shedding his turban and all his weapons as he went. He didn't know what he was running from, all he knew is that it was a reminder. It was a reminder of who he was, of his duty's and obligations, and of the decisions everyone else had made for him. He didn't know where he was going or what he was going to do once he got there, only that he was trying to escape. He wanted desperately to escape.
The canyon had opened under his feet before he had the chance to stop himself, and for a moment it seemed as if he had been suspended mid-air, then suddenly he was plummeting towards the ground. When he started wondering if he would ever land he was plunged into darkness. The feeling of falling had faded into a soft downward drifting, and he marveled at the bright red and orange swirling and pushing at the walls of whatever abyss he was falling through, swaying as they seemed to grow closer and closer. And all the sudden they were coiled around his ankles and his wrists, pulling at his clothes and limbs, turning and tugging at him, and he realized in horror that they were arms. Arms that were trying desperately to make him join them, and somehow he knew this was hell, a hell he would soon be a part of.
A rushing sound filled his ears, the sound of something big speeding towards him from below, and there was a sickening crack as whatever it was slammed into him, freeing him from the hands and sending him flying upwards, into a growing light. He landed on his feet in a room he immediately reconized from the battle in the golden pyramid years ago. Spinning on his heels, he was just in time to watch a huge form emerge from the ravine. A man, he knew, but in the shape of a scorpion. The scorpion rose and rose in the air, almost to the ceiling, before starting to lower to the floor on the opposite side of the gorge. Another person came up behind the scorpion, and his attention snapped immediately to her, his best friend through his whole life, but who was now standing comfortably with his enemy, a smug smile on her face.
Before he could react a gigantic claw came down onto him, kocking him off of his feet and back into the canyon, only this time there was nothing to stop him from falling...
