So sorry about the late update! As you know, life happens, but I'll try to start making weekly updates as often as I can. I do want to finish up this series, and I only have just a few more scenes to finish up, and I'm already starting to think of a sequel to this, no movie scenes involved, but just my imagination. And I'm also thinking of doing a prequel to this series too, taking place before The Mummy, which focuses on Aaliyah's childhood within the tribe and her parent's relationship. What do y'all think about this?

And I'm sorry that this update is so short, I promise the next one will be just a bit longer.

Chapter Six

It had been a long ride from place to place and I was glad that I had that book on me. It answered several questions I had about my family. It was a very interesting piece of family history. It also gave a lot of information about my supposed past life as Masika, the daughter as the leader of the pharaoh's bodyguard all those centuries ago.

The average textbook won't tell much about Masika, other than the fact that she the daughter of a well famed guard and the princess's close friend. In order to find out more about her, one would have to dig deeper into the ancient texts in order to find anything out. I couldn't help reading that passage over and over again, seeing if I could find out any more clues, if there was something written between the lines that I had happened to miss.

Masika was the third child and only daughter of the head of the guard, Jabari and his wife, Eshe. She had two older brothers and 5 younger brothers. Her mother died in childbirth with the youngest child, Adio, when she was only 13 years old. She stepped up and helped out with her younger brothers as much as she could. Jabari and his 8 children lived in the palace as well, so there were a lot of resources available and training for his sons.

When the girl was 14 years old, she met and later fell in love with Bomani, a new young guard who had started working under her father. Masika was about 17 years old when she married him and less than a year later, gave birth to their first child, their only daughter whom they named Meskhenet. 3 years later, they had a son, Hasani, and finally, 7 years after Hasani's birth, they had their third and last child, a son whom they gave the name of Bes.

Bomani died before his wife did, at the age 49, from complications of his last battle 3 years prior and Masika died just 2 years after that, at the age of 50. The two had a total of 12 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren, and their legacy still loves on throughout the tribes of the Medjai to this very day.

Seeing as we were finally starting to slow down, I put the book up in my bag and prepared to get the day started, hoping that we would be getting more and more close in finding my nephew. Pretty soon, we reached Karnak and got off the balloon thing. While Rick and Ardeth checked the train that was suspiciously just sitting there, Evy and I went in the ruins to see what we could find.

It wasn't long before I found a sandcastle (and I knew what it was too), and spotted Alex's tie next to it. Smart kid. "Evy." I looked over at her. "Check this out."

Evy called for the others as she grabbed her son's tie, and of course, knowing my brother, he came just a running, with his gun drawn. It was really so like him.

"Alex left us his tie, and he made up a little sandcastle."

"What is it?" Rick asked.

"The Island of Philae." I told him. "Once upon a time, it used to be the temple of Isis, back in the day. It's in ruins now." I explained.

"That-a-boy Alex." Rick said. "Let's go. Come on!"

We left Karnak and headed straight for Philae, which really wasn't that far from there, least not by air travel. Izzy was right, this thing was fast… I still didn't like flying though.

At Philae, he left another clue, he had craved another image in the sand.

"The temple of Abu Simbel." I whispered, just loud enough to be heard. At that point, Ardeth had let Horus go with a note to let the leaders know just where we were going. The next location, in which we were going, would take at least through the night to get there.
