...The Path Of Light...

Dylan waited for Aaron and Sarra to show up, he could see them underwater

- WHY THEY ARE NOT COMING OUT?

- Aramis won't let them get out of the water, they are trapped there.

- WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? WE HAVE A DEAL!

- He wants to make sure that you won't betray him.

- I WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU RELEASE THEM.

- They won't be released until you bring the clue to him. You must hurry if you want to save them. You don't have another choice anyway.

- So, you planned to deal only with me, the weakest among them.

Laila pretended that she didn't care:

- Let's follow the light, we don't have much time before someone sees it.

After reaching The top of the minarets, the four light beams were reflected towards the mausoleum, they broke through the four windows that were put right in the face of the minarets. The windows made the light enter directly to the main chamber of the mausoleum where the fake graves were put.

Dylan and Laila entered the chamber where the beams of lights were hitting directly the four flower motifs.

- Now what?

Dylan got closer to one of the motifs while remembering the previous clue:

- When the light blinds your sight and the water becomes as black as night. The door will open and the truth will be shown.

He touched the symbol, then he pressed on it and at that moment it flipped and turned into a mirror. The light was reflected immediately towards the grave of Mumtaz Mahal:

- These mirrors will reflect the light.

He touched the other remaining flower symbols and they turned into mirrors as well. The four light beams hit the grave in four different spots. Then they heard a voice like something being opened with a key. After some moments, the room's walls lit up while sowing a map, then the grave opened.

- We did it!

Dylan stepped forward while Laila couldn't make any step further to the grave. She was scared that another mummy will show up.

- Dylan! What is in there?

Dylan stood up while looking at the grave with a confused face:

- What is it? Why you are not answering me?

- I think you must take a look on your own.

Laila walked slowly toward the grave, then she became very surprised when she saw what was in there.

- Is that....?

- It looks like the golden paper that we saw in the grand history museum in Egypt.

Another golden paper was put there, surrounded by a lot of small diamonds.

When Dylan tried to read the writing, they heard the sound of the guards coming to them.

- The guards are coming, and Sarra is not here to help us with her magic. Dylan, hurry up we must go.

Dylan wrote down the clue as fast as he could, then he took some diamonds. At that moment, the grave closed again, and the walls went back to normal.

They wanted to go out, but the guards were already at the entrance. Dylan pulled Laila's hand, then they hide behind the graves. Laila suddenly found herself in Dylan's arms. He was basically hugging her from the back. Her heart was beating like crazy she tried to get away a little from him, but he was grabbing her tightly. He whispered in her ear.

- Don't make any move.

Laila stiffened in her place, she was helpless, especially when the guards entered the chamber and started searching for an intruder.

Dylan could feel Laila's tension, but he was surprised when he noticed a slight smile on her face. She didn't hate it!

He grabbed her even more tightly and didn't loosen up even after the guards left the room.

- The guards already left ...

- So what, they must be still outside looking for us. We must stay here until they leave.

- A...Alright.

In fact, Dylan used the guards as an excuse to keep holding Laila l, he felt that she will run away if he let her go.

- Why do you want to be a monster?

- I...I have my reasons.

- Is it related to your parent's death?

Laila's shocked face gave Dylan the answer that he wanted to have. She didn't expect that he will figure it out this fast. She looked away to hide her surprise:

- No one has the right to judge me. I don't intend to hurt anyone.

- But you will hurt yourself instead.

Those words pierced her heart:

- I know, but I can't stop. I must do it, no matter what. Don't try to convince me otherwise.

- I know that nothing will change your mind. You already took your decision, and you made it clear that we don't mean anything to you but a tool to get that treasure. Well, you will be also our tool to save Tarou.

Laila smiled at him to hide her pain:

- Right, consider me as a tool. I have been always treated like that.

Dylan felt so angry, he wanted so badly to yell at her to put some sense in her mind, but he held himself back.

- You made of yourself a tool, it is up to you to change that. I can't help you if you keep pushing me away.

Then he left.

Laila started crying:

- I...I need help...
