[i][b]”Are you excited, Cosy?”[/b][/i]

Cosette smiled up at her sister, swinging her hands at her sides. [b]"Yes! We're gonna find mummies!"[/b]

She was excited to be with her sister. Her brother, too. Everyone was here. She was [i]so[/i] excited she could hardly contain herself, and she was practically jumping on her feet as her mother spoke to her.

[i][b]
"Now, remember, Cosy. You mustn't touch anything with the special chalk lines on the ground, tape, or rope."[/b][/i]

Cosette's smile grew, and she pressed her face into her mother's arm briefly. Her mother smelled like sunlight...

[b]"Yes, momma, I promise."[/b] She mumbled into her shoulder before pulling back with a wild grin.

Cosette watched as her father dropped gold coins in the nice bus driver's hand. Her lips pursed in a pout. Would her father let her play with them if she asked? He might. And they looked so fascinating. More fascinating than her Hello Kitty flashlight.

But she stopped herself. Little Cosette could see the focus in her father's eyes. She didn't want to bother him.

Instead, maybe she would ask a question. One that would prove to her father she could be an archeologist one day, just like her older brother.

As the de Villiers crossed the expansive flat sand, the pyramid loomed as a silhouette against the starry night sky. The wind was warm, and gentle. The atmosphere was hushed, yet charged with anticipation, peaked by a single question, launched into the unknown.

[b]"Are we going treasure-hunting, dad?"[/b]

As they walked, they found none other than Ramses waiting for them at the entrance of the pyramid. And, going over the notes from the top secret file the Louvre had given Thierry, he would know that the Void within was a 10-minute walk into the pyramid via the Robber's Tunnel, through a straight crevice, then up a steep incline called the Ascending Passage. The family would notice ropes sectioning off the Descending Passage, as the Subterranean Chamber was not fit for visitors. Climbing up the ribbed staircase would lead into the Grand Gallery, where granite stone was perfectly lined up in ascending columns on either side in a narrow triangle 15 feet high. This was where they would begin their excavation into the ceiling, and reach the Void. Or, they could excavate from the King's Chamber in a more horizontal fashion.

What they would uncover in the Void, though, was anyone's guess. There were theories, yes, of untouched gold and the untold chambers of the pharaoh's eldest son. The loot of a lifetime, and history that would shed light into the internal society of ancient Egypt. 

However, there were darker theories that had made Egypt quite the looker in global news recently. Strange, unnatural energy signals were recorded from the Void. An undiscovered ancient technology, perhaps. A super weapon?

The theories were endless, which was why the best of the best were sent under the cover of night to put the theories to rest.

[i]Just what was the Great Pyramid of Giza hiding?[/i]
