...Petra ...

As soon as the boat arrived at the Port of Jordan, Dylan was the first one who got off it. He laid immediately on the ground while looking at the blue sky:

- Finally, I'm back to the ground I will never try such a horrible experience again. The plane is much better than this.

The rest got off too from the boat.

- Come on, don't act like a baby. The trip was awesome. wasn't, Annie?

- Yes daddy! I want to try it again.

Dylan stood up while glaring at them.

- Over my dead body.

Then he pulled out the map:

- Where are we going next?

- We are going to Petra.

- Petra? What is it?

- It is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan.

- A city?

- Yes, it is not just one monument, but a whole city full of monuments.

- Doesn't the map show a specific place.

- No, it is not. Maybe Sarra can help us a little when we arrive at the place.

- What is there exactly?

- Let's go we will find out soon.

They took a bus, and they headed toward that ancient city. Fortunately, they didn't find a problem in finding the place. It was a very popular city that a lot of tourists come from all over the world to watch it.

While they were on the way, Laila sat beside Dylan. His face was still pale.

- Are you still feeling sick.

- No, I'm fine.

- Can I ask you a question?

- You can ask whatever you want.

- Are you a monster?

- Yes, I am.

- Really? I have never seen you use your power. You seem...You seem...

- I seem weak.

- No, you seem human.

- I will take it as a compliment. I'm a water monster by the way.

- A water monster? But you said you hate water!

- Yes, it is sarcastic, isn't it. I'm a water monster, yet I hate getting wet...

- Why you don't use your power?

- I barely had any left, I didn't accomplish the task, so my powers faded away.

- The Task? What is it?

Dylan told Laila about the heart stone and the tasks monsters must accomplish to receive their full power.

- Wow, your world is amazing.

- Actually, it is not.

- Why?

Dylan smiled at her while standing up:

- I will tell you another time, we already arrived at Petra.

As soon as they arrived, The guide took them on a tour around the place.

- The city is full of monuments, look how big they are!

- Yes, and they were constructed by engraving the mountain. How powerful!

- Sarra! Didn't tarou show any interest in a specific monument?

- No, we visited all of them. He was very impressed and kept saying how beautiful the city is. I didn't notice any preference for a specific place.

- This is getting harder. There are at least five important monuments in the city. It will take us a lot of time to check all of them.

- I think we must know what are these first to know where we should start.

Dylan brought a brochure that contains explanations about Petra and its monuments.

- Listen to this " The five important monuments in this city are the Urn Tombs, en-Nejr theatre, Al-Khazneh (Treasury), Qasr al-Bint temple, and view of Ad Deir (Monastery) trail. Petra flourished in the 1st century AD, when its famous Al-Khazneh structure – believed to be the mausoleum of Nabataean king Aretas IV – was constructed. It is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, Petra is also called the "Red Rose City" because of the color of the stone from which it is carved.

- So Al-khazneh is the most famous monument here?

- Yes, I think we should start with it.

The group headed towards Al-Khazneh.

Dylan kept reading the brochure:

This place is one of the most elaborate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. its structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in both Jordan and the region. Al-Khazneh means "The Treasury" in Arabic, a name derived from legends regarding the decorative stone urn high on the second level.

One legend is that the Egyptian Pharaoh and some of his army escaped the closing of the Red Sea, created the Khazneh by magic as a safe place for his treasury, and continued in his pursuit of Moses. This led to the name Khazneh el-Far'oun, "Treasury of the Pharaoh".

- A treasure? And it is also related to ancient Egypt. I think this is the monument that we are looking for.
