Nina and the rest of the Sibuna club was caught by Mara and Mick. Nina could feel herself beginning to panic.
"It's a... craft, yeah Nina has helped me make them, they're ancient jewelry... holders...?" said Amber, in the most honest, calm tone she could reciprocate.
"Oh, how boring." said Mick, who exited in dismay.
"That's really pretty, I love how you got it to glow! Mara said, with excitement. Well, I'm going back to back to sleep, good night!"
"That was definitely a close call guys, we have must be more careful." Nina said, relieved Mara and Mick did not hasten to grow suspicious.
"Nina, you should probably hide that before someone finds it." KT said.
"I would, but we can't risk getting caught again, I'm just glad it wasn't Victor." Nina replied.
If Sibuna only knew if the raven was hiding in the corner, watching their every move. "The Cup of Ankh! They still have it, the tears of gold within my grasp, and the rest of the recipe in the Book Of Isis still awaits my translation! Yes, yes, eternal life is near.
The next morning Nina awoke early to hide The Cup of Ankh in the attic, she had recently discovered a new panel, and she was sure no one would find it in there.
When it was time for school, the Anubis residents headed out in pairs to walk to the school buildings.
Victor's Office
Victor was in his office puzzling over what to do, after the sights he saw yesterday, he knew his first plot is to retrieve the cup. He began to call Eric.
" Mr. Eric Sweet."
"Eric, you must conduct a bag search immediately, the children are in possession of The Cup Of Ankh! We must find it!" Victor said.
"Victor, we cannot risk the safety of the children once more, last term we abused the children! Besides, this would be a betrayal to Edison." Eric defended himself.
"YES, and you need LIFE to be with your son!" Victor snapped back.
Eric finally gave in to Victor's demands.
" All students of Anubis house, please hand in your bags and coats." Eric said, presuming to get their attention. "Lost something Mr. Sweet?" Patricia questioned.
"N-N-No, this our beginning search to make sure pupils are not beginning the term with forbidden articles and prohibited items. All students are to be searched." Eric lied, he hoped Eddie would not grow suspicious.
After half the day, the students were on break. However, both Eddie and Nina had a sudden urge to go to the crypt. Neither of them knew they were meeting each other. Once both were in the crypt, they shared a vision. It was in the gatehouse, the 5 sarcophagi were glowing gold. There were also several lockets resembling Nina's on the floor. They all looked the same except the Eye on the locket. One was Nina's, while the others were: a deep blue color, a flashy purple, a bright gold, and shiny silver color. The sarcophagi seemed to be glowing an array of colors. Then, a beacon of light shined, and the vision was over.
"Eddie!? What are you doing here?
"I don't know, wait what are you doing here!?"
"I had the urge to come, like a voice was calling me!" They both said, at the same time.
"Wait, did you have a vision too, with the lockets?...? Nina asked.
"I-I did, in fact, I know where that place is." Eddie said.
"Wait, you do!? Oh my gosh, she hugged him and bounced up and down. They stared into each other's eyes for a couple of seconds. They both backed away.
"We have to call a Sibuna meeting!" Nina exclaimed.
