False Doors

Jayden traced his fingers across the carvings. The whole section of this wall was filled with carvings of words and symbols. Jayden could read it all because of the skills transferred by Ay. it had carvings about Akhenaten's greatness and the relation between the god Aten and him. Jayden frowned at the words. Usually, the inscriptions were about sacrifices and the person who made it and for whom. They told a story. This showed how narcissistic Akhenaten was.

Isobel stood there biting her nails. Her mind was whirling with a speed of thousand miles per second to guess what they were supposed to do about it now.

"Do you know what this is?" Isobel asked.

Jayden was still frowning but he nodded. "It is a recessed niche, or what we call, a 'false door'. It just looks like a door but is actually carved in design on the wall. The false door was intended to allow the deceased a link between the living and the dead so that, perhaps most importantly, the deceased could receive sustenance from the land of the living. I hardly need Ay to know what a false door is."

There was a moment of pause then Jayden continued speaking. "I know the atmosphere here screams 'wrong', but I don't particularly see anything wrong here."

Isobel shook her head. She stood on the offering table that was right under it and pushed at the door.

Jayden's jaw fell open. The fact that the false door was surprising enough the fact that inside the room was filled with gold, silver and jewels.

"Well now, my lad, how do we fix this?" Isobel asked, pushing her hand towards the riches they just discovered.

Jayden sat himself down on the offering table before his legs gave out. He put his head in his hands and groaned loudly. He didn't think saving the world was going to be so hard. How the hell can you just fill up a wall and transport tons of gold? He would offer himself right on this table if it would give him an answer. He wished it was a treasure chest.

This was a treasure mine.

"What do we do now?" she asked again but a little softly this time.

"I don't know, sacrifice a baby or something," he grunted. The look on Isobel's face made him straighten up. There was a gigantic vein popping out of her head and he realized that he was pushing the wrong person.

"We can try willing things away. It worked in Chicago," he said joyfully. Maybe it was simple in the end. The incredulous look on her face made Jayden a bit confused.

"We didn't will the child away, we broke the illusion," Isobel said. Jayden really was a bit soft in the head. "Were you willing the child away the whole time?" she asked.

Jayden shook his head in no.

'Liar.' his inner voice that sounded a lot like Eli said. He promptly ignored it.

"Anyway this is all real. This pelf is here. And not to mention there is a room where there shouldn't be anything." Isobel said, making weird hand gestures towards the room.

They sat there for a very long time thinking about what to do. It was now noon but there still wasn't a way to solve this issue.

"We are idiots!" Jayden suddenly exclaimed making Isobel turn her head towards him. "We are trying to make it stop existing while all we need to do is put it somewhere else."

"Like Russia?" she asked

"Absolutely." Jayden happily crowed. "We know the king and all we need to do is put it in the hidden part of the royal treasure. Empty room."

"What about the room?"

"One step at a time, darling." With that being said Jayden quickly went down to get one of the guards to bring Tutankhamun a lot of bags and carriers. It wasn't long since the summoning that a limping smiling child came over. They explained the situation of finding the treasure and how he should make it part of the royal treasure.

Tutankhamun agreed and ordered for a few people to start tying it up so that they can get it to the castle. He called for someone else as well and told them that all of this would be buried with him in one form or another.

After threatening them that trying to steal it would lead to definite death the movement started. Now all they needed to do was remove a room from the space. That made no sense but they were working on it.

[You are idiots, host]

'Hello to you too, Alex.'

[In a time of slavery you didn't think to get the room filled and attach the door to now wall. It is that simple]

'But it will be meters of it. A very wide wall. There is no use to waste space!'

[How the hell does that affect you? Just get the work done and sometimes think inside the box as well.]

Isobel gruntled and turned to Jayden who had his eyebrows furrowed as if he was thinking of something.

"You agree with it?" he asked. To him, it sounded too stupid. Who the hell would make such a large room into a wall? It wasn't an effective way to do it.

Isobel nodded. What else could they do? There was no way that space would just vanish itself. They can't remove it so she guessed they were willing it away. "If anything goes wrong we'll just blame Eli and Alex," she said and Jayden nodded in agreement.

Alex:[...]

Eli:[...]

Alex and Eli promptly turned on Standby and went to brag about how their hosts were only being able to function because of them to the other systems.

"Well guess we are getting some workers," Jayden said.

"Slaves." Isobel corrected.

Jayden looked at her with his face set. Can she not do that? He was just trying to make it sound better. Isobel and Jayden picked up their guards and went to the biggest slave master in the city. Later they need to have a talk with Tutankhamun when all the construction is done.
