It was a long walk down the stairs, but at the end of the stairs there was a lightswitch, which Sora flipped on. Lights instantly filled the tunnel.
Strange, this place has been closed for years. Why is there electricity running through here?
Sora continued down the hall and was greeted by a swarm of bats and the sight of an underground canal.
Looks like this may be my way in. I just need to get this thing going. Sora thought, referring to the boat that was in the canal.
It was a large wooden ship reoughly ten feet long, with Phoenecian style columns, and Egyptian style controls. But what caught his eye was the skeleton resting on the ground opposite the boat. Its left hand had drawn a crude symbol that looked like a snail shell, while its right was clutching a book. Sora pried the book from its bony fingers and saw that it was a book of Egyptian Heiroglyphics.
The first 16 pages contained heiroglyphics for man, woman, Akhenaten, his queen Nefertiti, Lady Ti, Seneferu, Hesepti, Cleopatra, King Tut, Amonhotep, Ramses, Nofretari, Thothmes III, Mutemuaa, and the four cardinal directions. But strangely page 17 was ripped out. All that was left was "IF T- RELI|"
I should probably hold on to this
Sora then reversed the controls that were set in the boat and got it to move. After moving forward about twenty feet, he felt a chill in the air and hear a strange sound. It sounded like a haunting lullaby, which got louder the more he hade the boat go forward. Just when he was about mark twain away from the other side of the canal, a monster popped out of the water, roared, and then retreated back into the murky depths. This startled Sora so much, that it felt like he felt weaker. But how?
There was a door on this part of the cavern and next to it was a pot with a chicken head on it. With just one simple touch, the pot opened itself and white smoke flew out and formed the shape of a man.
"Whoa! Who are you?"
"Fifteen long yearm in this... prison. I am the man formerly known as Ben Kenobi."
"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kenobi."
"You. Get out. Do not meddle in things beyond your understanding. You will pay for your curiosity. You are in grave danger. They are so evil." said the ghost
"Who are so evil?"
"Already some of your life essence has been stolen. I was too old. Not fast enough. The Ixupi are so evil."
"What are these Eeshupee?"
"It is imperative to find all the vessel becasue it seems only when they are united with their talismans do they have any power. My plan was to use them on the Ixupi before anymore of them escaped into the world!"
"How do I stop them?"
"I beleive they cannot resist the vessels as long as they're with the talisman and you approach directly. This vessel here is of no use to you. Its Ixupi is the one who robbed me of my essence. It has escaped into the world... and they have ruined my museum...!"
The ghost vanished after explaining all that he could, giving Sora the initiative to find these monsters called Ixupi.
