...The Heart...
Sarra and Annie went back to the hotel room, they were surprised by seeing Laila.
- Who is she?
- Let me introduce you to each other, this is Laila the stalker. It seems that she knows Tarou's moves, So she will accompany us for the time being. Laila, this Sarra, Tarou's wife and this is Annie, my little daughter.
- Oh my God, a child monster! This is so amazing. Can I examine her?
Aaron held his daughter:
- No, you can't.
- Come on, I won't bite. This is a rare opportunity for me to see a child monster.
- You can see her from afar.
Sarra whispered at Dylan.
- Is it okay to let a stranger accompany us? We don't know anything about her.
- She is a human, I don't know why you and Aaron are afraid of her. She can't do anything to us.
- Should I really remind you why we shouldn't trust any stranger?
- Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her.
Replied Dylan, then he went back to Aaron:
- So, what is the next step?
- We will enter the Pyramid as Tarou did.
- Who will do it?
- I will go with Sarra, you, stay here with Annie and Laila.
Laila didn't seem pleased by Aaron's words:
- I WANT TO GO TOO. I can help you there.
- How are you going to help us?
- The Pyramid is like a maze, you will get lost without a map.
- A map?
- Yeah, I can get a map from a friend if you take me with you.
- I'm going too, we can take Annie with us, nothing will happen to her.
All of them insisted on going, Aaron didn't find a choice but to accept:
- Fine we will go, all of us.
They waited until the night, then they headed to the top of the big Pyramid. Aaron took his daughter and Dylan while Sarra used her magic to take Laila with her.
- Wow, look at the view. This pyramid is higher than I expected.
- Yeah, you are right, Dylan. You can see the whole city from above.
- Stop admiring the view and start searching for the entrance, it must be somewhere here.
They searched for an entrance, but there were only rocks.
- Are you sure that he entered this Pyramid?
- Of course, I am, I will never mistake that.
- Sarra, can you use your magic to clean up up the place from all these sands.
- Alright, close your eyes, everyone.
Sarra created a strong wind that took all the sand covering the rocks away.
- Look there! Screamed Laila.
There was a small wooden door on the corner of the top rock. Aaron pushed it carefully and
opened it.
- Come on, let's get in.
They started getting down old stairs until they all found themselves standing in the middle of a long dark hall.
- Where should we go?
Laila opened the map that her friend gave to her:
- Let me see...If the treasure is hidden in the heart, then we must go that way. Follow me and Be careful, Pharaohs put a lot of traps inside the Pyramid to prevent thieves from stealing their treasures.
They slowly stepped forward. There were a lot of entrances, but due to that map, they succeeded in arriving at the specific place. It was a big empty room.
- This is the place.
- Nothing is here!
- Look at the walls, there is a lot of writing. Can you read them, Dylan?
Dylan got closer to the wall, he put his hand on it and started reading it carefully. After a while, he finished reading it all.
- Nothing much in here. It is just describing the king of Pharaohs "Khufu" and his historical achievements.
- That's it? are you sure?
- Yes.
- Let's keep searching, maybe there is something else hidden on the ground.
They started searching everywhere in the room, even on the ground. Aaron dug it, hoping to find something, but still nothing.
- Maybe we should look somewhere else in the Pyramid!
- Didn't you see how big it is? It will take us weeks to search all of it!
Aaron was very annoyed and frustrated that he hit the wall with his fist.
- AARON! ARE YOU OKAY? YOUR HAND IS BLEEDING!
- I'm fine...
- Your blood stained the wall as well, we must clean it immediately.
While Laila was trying to clean the wall, she noticed that the blood disappeared on its own.
- What is this?
Suddenly the writing on the wall started glowing
- THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!
All of them became very surprised.
- WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
