Chapter 4
Ra's eye revealed itself to the Egyptian heroes. Breakfast went as Puri and Kayo planned. The three continued their journey using the Rainbow Jewels. Puri came up with a way to make the search a bit easier.
"I think I have a good idea," Puri was suggesting to Kayo, "What about placing the jewels in a square. The brightest jewel is where we will go."
"I think that's a good idea." Monok complimented.
"But wait," Kayo interrupted, "What if there are two jewels as bright as each other?"
"We can make a big circle and rearrange the jewels until we can get an accurate direction to the next jewel."
"Nice thinking, good friend." Kayo condemned, "This will ease our search greatly."
The group made a circle using ten meter long rope and themselves to make a circle. They placed jewels at four random places on the circle. They narrowed down the direction until the jewels were touching each other.
"We shall go to the direction where the jewels guide us to." They packed up the jewels in their saddle bags and galloped to the Jewels' direction. When night came, they noticed an orange glow coming from a tall rock standing like a pillar over the height of the three combined.
"That looks like a heavy challenge." Kayo stared at the tower. "It seems that we could work together to push the thing to make it fall."
"Wait, Pharaoh!" Monok interrupted, "I think I can push this on my own."
"How do you say that?" Puri asked.
"It's because I feel more strong than ever. I feel like the jewels are giving me more power."
"Show me." Kayo answered his challenge. "If this is so, we must experiment to prove."
"Thank you." Monok took his stance against the rock and pushed using all of his body. The rock was moving and after a short while, the pillar of rock was no longer a pillar, yet a horizontal bar of rock. The other two were awed.
"In Ra's name, I have never seen a great feat of strength like that." Kayo had the look of shock in his eyes.
"Do not worry, friends," Monok told Puri and Kayo, "You might have hidden powers as well."
"Right. Let's continue our journey." They went and made another "jewel compass" and plotted their way to the next jewel after they got a night under the starry night. The morning was another hot Sahara day for the heroes as they were making progress towards the next jewel. They found the green jewel in the middle of the desert bed. It seemed like the time they found the purple jewel. But when the horses came closer, the six jewels reacted with each other sending out a beam of light across the sky. The reaction caused a sandstorm that was at a blazing speed. Monok was maintaining his ground using his strength to hold Kayo, Puri, and the saddle bags with the jewels down.
Puri yelled through the storm, "I think I have the power to get the jewel."
"You do have the power." Monok yelled back. "You need this."
Monok grabs into the bag and pulls out a leather mask designed to protect the eyes in a sandstorm. "This will help you." Monok passes the mask to Puri.
"Thank you." Puri puts the mask on.
Puri was standing against the storm with the mask on his face. He saw the jewel in the distance. As soon as he saw it, he ran with a burst of speed towards the jewel going against the rapid speed of the storm. He saw the jewel closely and observed that it was floating and providing the wind needed for the storm. He had enough speed to grab the jewel. When he did, the chaos stopped. Monok and Kayo were found in a distance away from Puri. Monok protected Kayo and the jewels well.
"I have great speed, now!" Puri informed while taking off his mask, "The jewels do have great powers."
"You have great speed, and Monok has great power." Kayo observed. "You both dream of having those things. Yet, I wish for wings. What if we find the last jewel? I would probably grow wings."
"It is in the stars, good friend." Puri encouraged Kayo, "I will not be surprised if you do get what you dream for."
"Bad news, Pharaoh!" Monok points to their motionless horses. "Our horses have died in the storm."
"We will make another jewel compass and I'll use my speed as a transport to the next jewel." Puri suggested.
"That will be a great idea." Kayo gives his approval and the three make another jewel compass. They got their direction and all three put sand masks on.
Puri ordered the two, "Kayo, Monok, Hold on to my wrists." The two obeyed. Puri grabbed the wrists of the two and then Puri started his fast dash towards the last jewel.
Meanwhile, Anubis was at Giza, supervising the building of the pyramids. The pyramids are being built by the enslaved people being whipped by the Greyhounds. Anubis noticed the beam of light that the heroes made. "Hmmmm... It seems that some of these 'humans' have found the Chaos Emeralds."
A page hound asked Anubis, "Would you like to find some volunteers to find the last emerald?"
Anubis turned to him and grabs him by the collar, "Do so. I do not like people taking my words. If you take them again, I will take your life. Go find volunteers and order them to go find the last emerald. If they find the human fools, they should kill them!"
