Chapter 2: Destination 1

An hour later, after both had washed up and changed into outdoor clothes, they walked to the local museum of history.

"This is the first activity of today?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah. I know you absolutely love all them mythologies and stuff. We figured you'd like this to be the first thing we do." Alex replied happily.

"You mean you figured?" He snickered.

Alex just sighed and walked in. Ryan, not wanting to be left behind, followed close behind. Katie was waiting for them at the entrance to the mythology section.

"Finally, you're here." Katie sighed. "Only

took you 3 damn hours. I'm hungry you guys."

"In my defence, I did ask u if u wanted to join us." Alex reminded Katie.

"Meh, oh well. Let's go." Katie said and then started walking towards the Egyptian section.

"What's that?" Katie asked, pointing at sound birdheaded statue.

"Oh that's Thoth." Alex answered.

"Why does he have a seagull for a head?" Ryan snickered.

"Ibis." Alex corrected.

"What?"

"It's not a seagull, it's an ibis." Alex stated.

"What's the difference?" Ryan asked.

"An ibis is an egyptian sea bird. Thoth uses them as information guides." Alex said as he focused on a papyrus of hieroglyph.

"Uses? Present tense?" Katie asked.

"Used i mean." something about his tone

sounded a little...nervous. Ryan chose to ignore this but Katie was watching him closely. They walked into another section of the exhibit and this time a falcon-headed statue loomed over them.

"Ooh!" Ryan shouted "I know this one! That's Horus! The war god pharaoh dude."

"Yeah exactly." Alex praised.

"Ooh it's Isis" Katie called from across the room reading the plaque "She was a goddess of magic."

" The goddess of magic." Alex corrected again.

"Same thing." Katie ignored them and walked off, leaving Ryan and Alex alone.

"So how come you know so much about egyptian mythology?" Ryan asked.

"It's very important for people like us yknow?" Alex replied.

"People like us?" Ryan quizzed in a suspicious tone.

"Well yknow, mythology students." Alex

replied almost instantly.

"We don't study Egyptian. We study Greek. And sometimes Roman. Never Egyptian." Ryan pressed on.

"Either way, Egyptian may come up we don't know." Alex seemed to want to change the subject. "It could be important...". Alex kept talking but Ryan's attention was gravitated to a tall man in a black over coat and black jeans. The man was staring at the stone infront of him. One of cleopatras needles as they were called. After a few minutes, Ryan decided it was just a tourist and ignored him. They walked further through and Alex told them about the interesting bit of the mythology.
