Chapter 7- Rewards and Home.
Soon enough, the gang got back to Hamunaptra. As soon as the dirigible touched the ground, Jonathan was off like a rocket into the castle, making sure Izzy didn't get a chance to ask about his flask or the braclet as payment. Evy excused his behaviour to Izzy, and she, Alex, Rick and Ardeth followed Jon inside the castle. Izzy, a little peeved off, muttered a few curses and went back to his dirigible.
Inside, the pygmy warriors watched as the others joined Jonathan, who was carrying the braclet gently as he could while taking sips from his flask. Soon enough, they got to the end of the big hallway from before and saw the wizard's giant head behind the stone wall.
"Did you get rid of the wicked witch and bring me the braclet as proof?" He bellowed. Jonathan, who had the braclet, walked forwards and placed it on the floor in front of the wall.
"There you go, sir. Will we be getting our rewards now?" Jon asked, scared out of his mind. He might have been drinking to make himself brave, but this close to the wizard he was almost wetting himself. He looked behind him and knew the others were thinking the same thing.
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? FOR THAT IMPERTIENCE, YOU SHALL GET NO REWARDS, ANY OF YOU!" Imhotep yelled, scaring poor Jonathan. Jon took a step (more like stumble) back and slipped over, landing painfully on his bottom, making his teeth clack together. He looked down upset, he knew he let everyone down because he couldn't keep his mouth shut when he had drank.
Evy saw this and immediatly went over to him and threw her arms around him "You didn't do anything wrong at all, Jonathan. Don't you ever think that you have" She looked up at Imhotep "If he was such a great and powerful wizard, he would keep his promises. He only wanted to use us for his own gain, to make sure he is the most powerful person who can do magic here"
'Actually, he's the second most powerful magical person here' A voice whispered out. Out of the corner of the room, a golden bubble appeared out of nowhere. It disappeared and a woman was tanding where he once was.
"Samantha, what are you doing here?" Imhotep spat out hatefully.
"I've been watching these people. I knew from the moment I met them they could defeat Anck-su-namun, I even told you. I knew I shouldn't have, I should have known you'd give them false promises so they would do what you said" She walked over to Evy and Jonathan, placing a hand on his shoulder and a smile.
"Then you go and scare them, after everything they've done for me, you, everyone. We are no longer under Anck's rule, thanks to them. I think they deserve their fondest wishes to come true, don't you?"
Imhotep looked at her in anger, then at everyone else. He gave a tired and resigned sigh and agreed.
"Thank you, I knew you had some sort of a heart" Sam turned towards the others "Now, tell him your fondest wishes and he will grant them"
She went to disappear, but suddenly found herself caught in a huge hug by none other then Alex "Thank you Sam, for everything" Some enough Evy, Jonathan, Rick and Ardeth joined the hug and expressed their thanks, then they let her go
She smiled at them though tears, gave a nod and disappeared into another golden bubble and floated away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, what do you wish for?" Imhotep asked, getting impatient.
Rick went up first "I wish for a book to help me work out how to use my brains" Imhotep walked up to him "You have been using your brains since the night you saved the young lady and her son. In fact, Samantha told me, while we were waiting for you guys, you were the one who suggested making the raft to cross my moat of Scarabs".
Rick thought about what Imhotep said, and it finally dawned on him "You're right, I did. I am smart".
Ardeth went up next "I wish for something to help stop me from rusting when I'm wet, I do not wish to use this oil anymore" Imhotep looked at him "You must look back upon this journey you have taken and try to remember at any point if you needed to use that oil"
Ardeth closed his eyes and he couldn't think of a single time he did need his oil. When he opened them, Imhotep was giving a small smile at him "You see, when your mind is determined on something, you didn't care if it rained, snowed or even if your were caught in a tidal wave as long as you got the job done"
Jonathan went up next "I wish for something to make me more braver, instead of getting drunk" Imhotep looked at him "You are a unsual case. You wish for bravery, yet you are shaking as you stand before me asking for it, maybe I shouldn't give it to you after all. It'll only be a waste of my powers"
Jonathan was upset and angry "Powers? What powers? I haven't seen any powers yet. Maybe Evy was right, you are not the great wizard as people say you are. Now, I'm asking you, give me some help" And in his anger, Jon threw his flask onto the floor by mistake, making it smash into pieces.
Imhotep was impressed "Good. It took a lot of bravery to stand up to me like that, and smash your only possesion. You have the bravery in you all along, it just needed to be released" Jonathan looked down at his broken flask and back up at Imhotep with a smile.
"Now..." Imhotep started, looking at Evy and Alex "You two want to go home. Samantha told you about the shoes your wearing, that you needed to see me abou them" They both nodded.
Imhotep turned from them and started thinking "What you must do is click the heels of the shoes three times and say 'There's no place like home' three times and you should be home"
He turned to Jonathan, Rick and Ardeth "These three will stay and become protectors of the land of Egypt. They have shown skills beyound anyone's capability here" The three guys looked proud of themselves.
Soon enough, it was time for Evy and Alex to leave. After sharing goodbyes and tears with the others, Evy clicked the heels three times and she and Alex wished themselves home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Evy... Evy... wake up... Alex..." Evy swore she could feel someone lightly slapping her cheek. She started to come round and saw an worried Rick hovering over her. His face looked calmer as she slowly started to prop herself up onto her elbows from her position of lying on the floor.
She looked to her side and saw Alex coming to, Jonathan and Samantha by his side also worried but slowly calming down. "What happened?" Evy asked.
"We just came home before the hurricane started and found you and Alex unconcious on the floor. Look as though you were having some kind of weird dream" Rick explained.
Alex spoke up "It didn't seem like a dream. The house was taken away by the hurricane to Egypt and we saw Pygmy warriors living there, and the good witch of Cairo came to us in a golden dress and told us we'd have to go to see the great and powerful Imhotep of Hamunaptra. And along the journey we met a straw adventurer, a tin Med-jai and a cowardly drunk and we all saw Imhotep. He told us we'd have to destory the Anck-su-namun, the wicked witch of Luxor and we did, so we got to go home" He panted, out of breath.
"The strange thing was, you were all in it" Evy told them and explained each of their roles in the dream. Everyone believed Evy and Alex an got prepared for when the hurricane came. As soon as it came, it went and everything was fine
