The mission

" Excavating a tomb of such magnitude is dangerous that is why we will only allow rare talents. " The grey haired man on the podium said.

Mr Henry Fisher was a excavation expert he had worked on four large scale excavations with the university of Suunter and two other in Parlii and Davile.

These time due to age limitations on these cave he was unable to go on the trip. All he could do was monitor and instructs so has to avoid epic failure.

That was why he had been invited by the university to supervise the trip. He did request to follow the team to the sight.

With the massive investment of technology there was probably no need such a trip could never fail

Perhaps the excessive caution was due to the rumors linked to these tomb.

It was a sunny day and Erina was relaxing in a bathtub with cold water while binge watching a soap opera.

To be clear she was not naked, not that she did not wish to be but it was not her house.

Also due to the fact that the walls were to transparent. It was a home spa while there was a jacuzzi and a private pool. She preferred as much privacy and silence alone in a single person bathtub.

" Samuel it is time to die your life as been good so far " Kiia said

" I thought you loved me " Tears streamed from his eyes as he fell to the ground.

Erina could no longer bear the heart breaking scene. Kiia had never loved Samuel and was only using him to get the fairy tears.

She gently got out of the tub to avoid splashes before getting a green towel and wrapping it around herself.

The floors of the spa were super cold has her feet felt like freezing off each time her leg moved on the cold pink tiles.

The soap opera was definitely not over nor had she even finished binge watching the remaining episodes but she could no longer go on.

It was frustrating that he would be killed for a simple fairy tear that could clearly be requested for.

But if it was like any other series she had watched it would end up with the main character survival then revenge and sometimes love.

She supposed maybe because it was based on past events. Past events though was overrated no one knew what actually happened.

Getting killed for fairy tears seemed to much. Something like that was being sold in every convenience store.

She wondered if the people from the past where to come to the present they would probably hand their head in shape if they thought about how much they sacrificed for things we sell on a daily.

She felt bored watching such.

She shut off her phone and decided to sleep.

" The first thing in every successful excavation is team work. Without proper functioning of a team even the most equipped excavation expert could fail. " For Henry these much was true but it was obvious from the looks on these student that they did not believe what he said.

He was sure they would run around on their own hoping to make a name for themselves.

" Excavating sites like the Vampire tombs are filled with death magic and technology that could damage yours most times your scanners could be incorrect. " He paused. The students were finally interested though they hoped he could skip to the good parts.

" Never stray away from your team. The caves could be very confusing and may cause your scanners to read heat signatures but it is better not to believe it. The vampires have various poison lurking around them due to there supposed immunity.

Traps are layed in every corner but a clear part is usually very easy to find out. I believe your research and exploration department has a map of the tomb.

Do not for any reason decide you have found a traeure of some kind it could lead to death. "

The excited students noticed a wet towel seems to have been thrown on them. What was the use of the exploration if they could not get treasures , wander off and explore. It now felt like a chore than a trip.

" In history their has been no record of who owned the tomb nor had there been any complaints. In a week's time we shall find out the true owner of The Tomb

A little excitement bubbled through the hearts of the students even though it was not as large as what they wanted.

Henry went ahead to describe his experience in other tombs and how they worked. They were more things he would have loved to share but the university would not allow it.

If he began to share his experiences on first hand betrayal by teammates or how they could be sabotaged by friends or how the organisation they worked for might try to silence them.

If any of these safety measures were spoken the students would immediately refuse the trip. Their lives at these time mattered more than digging some old persons grave.

A middle aged man walked into the podium as soon as Henry got off it. Before a hundred students he begun to speak. " As you all know the physical and mental examination test is to ensure a successful return. Only ten of those who pass it will be allowed to go to the tomb. "

Dissatisfaction spread throughout the all as no one could be sure if they would be chosen.

He continued " Do not worry once you pass the exams it is a higher certification that you would be easily deployed to tombs by the government or organisation you will work for in the future. "

This was a good guarantee while they might not be the best , it served as a show of their capabilities and that was what was needed to get a job.

" Rnngg...rnggg.....rnngg " The phone rang continuously.

Erina picked it up and stuffed it under a pillow. She hates picking calls as much as she disliked going out.

The phone rang again.

Frustrated she sat up , her hair was in a complete mess as it was all over the place.

She removed the phone from beneath the pillow and checked who called.

It was her teacher Mr Carmen. Ever since she graduated he had not called her. She wondered if maybe these was a mistake until her phone rang again.

Reluctantly she brought the phone to her ear and answered the call.

" Hello " She said.

" Erina I do hope you are not sleeping" Erina was in shock how could he tell

" Of course not sir with the massive work in front of me. That is impossible " She answered.

" That's a lie you are not busy , I called your boss and be said you are free as you handed in your work early. "

' Oh no why did boss have to say am free I hope I am not given work ' she thought.

It was exactly what she hoped will not happen.

" Sir , I have other surprisingly important work than my bosses " she defended

" Really So is the important work sleeping "

" of course " As soon as those word left her mouth her heart sank.

' Oh no ' It meant her vacation was over.

" Come to Stands square by 10 am Mrs Mary and I have important work for you. " He said leaving no room for refusal.

" Okay "

She dropped the call and slouched on the chair.

Erina was tired of working for Mr Carmen. It was stressful and a waste of time. She felt he was part of a secret organisation but it was not her place to ask.

Erina made up her mind ' It was going to be the last time she spoke to him. '

At 10:15 , Erina walked into the cafe at Stands square they were only a few people in it all drinking and eating. She sat on an empty chair and waited for him to arrive.

Mr Carmen walked in with an older lady dressed in a black pants and a loose pink top. The casual wear didn't hide the professional aura coming from her.

They sat in front of her.

"Erina " Mr Carmen said sharply.

She greeted him and the not nice lady Mrs Mary.

They called the waiter and ordered coffee with a serving of sugar free muffins.

Erina refused to order, she wanted to be alert at all times and food would make her soft.

" Ms Erina, Let's get to the chase am excavation is taking place and the university is organising it. " Mary sipped her coffee before continuing.

" The Tomb as never been excavated but it needs people of a specific age group to excavate, one must be less than 39. "

Erina interrupted "Ma'am , I am sure the university as a lot of people less than 39 and so many volunteers "

Mary frowned not liking how Erina interrupted her. on seeing this Carmen looked at Mary mouthing at her to relax they needed her help not the other way around.

Understanding what Carmen meant she took a deep breath " Yes they do but we need your help, the organization needs your help in retrieving a crystal and the Gem on the surface of the tomb. "

" Crystal and Gem how am I to get into the tomb. " Erina just had to know.

" You will go with the school group. " Mary answered.

Before Erina could ask another question Carmen spoke. " your name is already on the list and we have a way to prevent you from submitting your bag. By the way you will be payed 700 crystal coins and whatever treasure apart from the two will be yours. "

It was a wonderful deal and anyone would take it. It seemed like she was benefiting the most but she was not. tombs are known to very dangerous.

The tomb of the Elvian King Saamin had been excavated seven times and each time the casualty rate is ten percent of the people who went in and it was crowned the tomb with the least casualties.

So how high would a new tomb casualty rate be.

" I hope apart from what you guys want you will not search my bag. I will deal with my treasure myself. " Erina made it clear taking someone stuff forcefully was definitely not past them.

The agreement was made and she carefully read the papers including the tiny fine print.

Erina left the cafe as soon as the documents were completed. She had no time to chit chat as she needed to prepare.

A blue taxi drove up and parked. She immediately waved at it

" Tunns road 14 avenue " She gave the address.

" Enter "

She got in. She was headed to her apartment. .

Arriving there she payed the taxi fare in front of her was her house not the private spa or Jacuzzi home.

Her sweet small three bedroom bungalow.

She opened the door and walked in the atmosphere was so sweet though she missed the Jacuzzi. She lived her home.

Unfortunately it was not the time to relax. She needed to prepare for emergency.

Erina marched to a room and began to pick up items she would need.

The list was long thankfully she had almost everything but she ran out of high quality fairy tears.

Picking up her phone she called the Fairy time office.

" Hello, Fairy time office "

" Yes ma'am how may we help you " The guy asked courteously.

" I would love to order a batch of the new high quality fairy tears how much would that cost " Erina needed to be sure of expenses in case the mission failed.

" About 55 crystal coins for 100 bottles " He said.

That was way to expensive.

" Anything cheaper "

" Yes we do have the Timed Fairy tears it is unprocessed and cost about 20 crystal coins for two hundred bottle. " He explained

The company was trying to get as many people to but the unprocessed one because they were in able to do the processing due to expenses.

If the customer ordered it then they were able to shake the blame.

So he was to get as many people to buy the unprocessed one.

Erina had no idea it was a company set up but she was relieved to get unprocessed Fairy tears as she had a recipe to dilute it.

After settling the order, she went ahead to order a gas mask and 10 a thousand poison antidote.

After a week of preparing and waiting for the good to arrive she was finally ready her bag pack contained all she needed.

Dressed in black she put on her backpack and wore a protective vest which had a knife and two other foldable bags in it. Her backpack had all weapons and maps that Mr Carmen sent to her.

A long purse attached to her waste contained a few thousand poison antidote and 5 Fairy tears.

Two of each of these things were in an hidden pocket on the vest.

Erina immediately headed towards the university.
