Chapter 12: Egypt
On the way
"So, how should we get there? By riding…. Polo Ponies?"
For those of you who don't know, Evil has an obsession with horses.
And today, her subject was polo ponies.
They were in the Egyptian dessert, right next to the Nile.
"EVA!" Artemis had been suffering this for a while. "WE ARE ALMOST THERE!"
"Well, can we go the rest of the way by riding….. Polo Ponies?"
They all groaned. Funny, the rest of the way was only 30 minutes, but it felt like days.
They had to get inside King Khafer's tomb, to find out where to go next.
When they got their, they found this kings tomb was one of the 3 great pyramids of Giza.
"So, this is great. Here we are at King Khafer's tomb, a pyramid, one of the wonders of the world," said Fell. "Now how the Hell do we get in?"
They turned to Raven.
"Uh……………"
Artemis smacked his head. They had to get in.
"I have an idea!" cried Evil excitedly.
"Does it involve polo ponies?" asked Artemis.
"Yes!"
Artemis looked at them.
"We'll never get in."
"Well in movies," said Foaly. "You usually can find a secret passage to get in by feeling for a lever or a button around the sides."
"That's a possibility, but if this doesn't work, we're going with the polo ponies."
So they started too searched around the pyramid.
Artemis was searching next to Rain. They were patting the walls in hopes to find a way in.
"Wow, these pyramids are almost as pig as that turkey my daddy shot for Thanksgiven' dinner."
Artemis pressed harder on a brick in the wall and it started to go inwards.
"Wow," he exclaimed.
"I know. We fried that turkey like a potato on a hot greasy griddle in the middle of August."
"Not that! Look!"
He pressed a little harder on the spot and then-
A hole collapsed into the tomb and Artemis fell in about 16 feet onto a hard solid stone floor.
"Hey! Look's like you found a way in."
"No crap."
They all dropped inside the tomb rather painfully.
It was even harder on Foaly who landed on his back
"How do you people walk on only 2 legs!"
Then Root dropped on top on him knocking him over again.
They could see by the small amount of sunlight coming from the hole in the ceiling, that there was a long row of unlit torches.
Raven grabbed one off the wall and lit it with a lighter.
"Okay, no where to go but down the hall."
So went down the halls with the eerie shadows of themselves from the torches were cast along the walls.
After about an hour of walking, they came to a large room.
King Khafer's coffin was in the dead center of the room with a hole in the ceiling shining light on it. The head of coffin was facing towards the end of the room, and there stood a statue of the king with a 4 foot tall base in front of it.
And on the base was-
"The next clue!"
They all ran around the coffin to the envelope lying on the base.
Raven was about to grab it when Foaly whacked her hand away.
"Hey what was that for?"
"Hellooo! Have you ever seen Indiana Jones?"
"Which one?"
"Ugh… when you're in the temple, if you move the thing you are trying to get, a bunch of booby traps go off!"
"Your point?" asked Hannah.
She grabbed the envelope.
Suddenly the ground began to ruble, and the walls started closing in.
Artemis patted Hannah on the head.
"Way to go wolfy."
"What did I do?"
"QUICK!" shouted Raven.
She stepped on top of the coffin and jumped to grab hold on the edge of the hole in the ceiling from where the light was coming from.
She pulled her self up and then started helping everyone up.
The last person up was Artemis, and he was lucky, he was a foot away from becoming the human pan cake.
"Is everyone okay?" asked Raven.
As soon as they all nodded Raven hit Foaly over the head.
"Ouch! What in Fronds name was that for?"
"You jinxed us!" and with that she whacked him again.
"So what do we do now? And where's that light coming from?"
They were in yet another hallway, and the light was coming from a stair way going up to their left.
"Well, I guess we should just…. 'Follow the light,'" said Artemis.
Rose sighed. "I guess we don't have much of a choice."
As they were walking, Evil came up with a game.
"Okay, I'm thinking of an animal."
"Does it have anything to do with…?" Artemis paused. "Polo ponies?"
"Gasp! Amazing!"
"Okay, since I guessed right, I'm thinking of a way to shut you up."
"By… stuffing her in that coffin?" suggested Fell.
"Close?"
"Knocking her out?"
"Not quite."
"Threatening to beat me into oblivion!" exclaimed Evil.
"Correct."
When they finally reached the top of the stairs they all pushed at the ceiling and it slid off the top of the pyramid.
It was night time now, and there was a full moon directly above them.
They all climbed out and slid smoothly down the side of the pyramid.
"What does the next clue say Hannah?"
Hannah opened the clue and read:
"GO TO THE SPHINX, THEIR LIES IN IT"S MOUTH THE CLUE TO THE NEXT AND LAST DESTINATION."
