Pyramid of Giza, Dusty Tombs
@Days, @Lexisheeps
Theo entered Rebirth first, followed by Ramses. There they would find and follow angular cuts in the stone corridor, before it would lead upwards a flight of the narrowest stairs known to man. Crawling up these was the correct way to describe their ascent.
Once past the narrow staircase, the stone would level out, and there would be an illumination in the distance. moving towards the purple light would lead to a square shaped room with a large, enclosed tomb in the middle.
Theo and Ramses would see another open pathway straight ahead, past the tomb. This path was adorned with slightly illuminated staircases swirling upward in a circular fashion.
Another pathway was to their left. This pathway was marked by a broad square frame and another room beyond it. From what they could see, there were glimmers of gold among the misshapen stone in the other room.
As Theo and Ramses would step into the room, a low, earthy rumble would shake the dust down from the ceiling. With an eerie, loud crack, the central tomb would open, spilling purple and red light across the room. Mist would rise from it, revealing an ethereal black orb.
And then the black orb spoke.
It seemed to appraise the two in the room.
”A son with eyes that are blind. I can show you exactly all you could be, and all that holds you back…”
The orb shifted to look upon Ramses. “A man who refuses to trust, who hides away secrets that could save those around you. Why not let go, and become what you were meant to be…?”
A deep, guttural, mocking laugh. “Let me free you from your corporeal forms!”
In the next instance, lightning shot out from the tomb, searing the ceiling, before lightning bolts rained down on the two archeologists. They were aimed at the body, Theo's chest, Ramses abdomen and legs. They didn't strike once, no. They struck, and then calculated where the two would move, and then strike again! To be hit by a bolt would bring a person near to death, with the shock too much to overload the system.
Pyramid of Giza, Secret Sacrificial Chamber
@Days, @WhiteAngel25, @Lexisheeps
There was a slight tremor in the air as Theo, and then Ramses, departed. Slunked off. Crept down the path of Rebirth. Perhaps to become anew…
Meanwhile, tears were wiped and apologies given and received in the sacrificial chamber. Cosy held on tightly to her mother, before she nodded her head and moved to grip the cloth of Auri, rubbing her eyes again and again. The only thing that soothed her completely, was when her father knelt in front of her. Reflexively, she hid a bit behind Auri. But, when she found her father speaking softly and apologizing, she dropped her guard and came to pat his knee.
Her eyes widened at her father's words, then she nodded vigorously. “Oui, papa, Je les ai.”
She held up the small pouch, procuring it from a small pocket, giving the coins a proud shake. Pleased with the given responsibility, she smiled that sweet smile of hers.
“Oui, papa, I'll take care of them. I won't let anything distract me, not even the… shiny stuff!” The word ‘artifact’ was hard to pronounce, after all.
The magicks in the room were slowly making themselves known on their targets, and Cosy suddenly stumbled against her father, feeling woozy. She clutched her head, face contorting in an expression of discomfort.
Auri would be feeling the same, a loss of balance, the feverish chills accompanied with a flu, and a headache that would change from mild throbbing to aching pain.
“I don't feel good, papa…”
It was then a small, sickly sweet voice whispered in Sabrina's ear. It was coaxing, honeyed and thinly veiling a cruelty.
“Take your children down the Afterlife, and free them from their suffering.”
