Dungeon

  Amen's display flashes warnings of the army, more Madjay, of revolt, chatter of revolution, and notices given to Pharaoh himself.

  He looks at his stamina and health and experience. All maxed out.

  All slowly rising back to full.

  No one can beat me.

  The Madjay turns his horse back out towards the desert.

  Amen follows, but at a slower pace.

  POSSIBLE TRAP IMMINENT.

  Amen pushes it away.

  APPROACHING FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  Amen pushes it away again, angrily, and clears his whole display, besides the radar that shows Bomani trotting out before him.

  Suddenly, The Old Man's voice starts playing in Amen's ears. Like a recording.

  "This temple, Amen. The screams. All can hear them. You will hear them. The forever dungeon."

  What is going on?!

  APPROACHING FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  APPROACHING FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  APPROACHING FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  A decision tree pops up that cannot be cleared.

  Amen points that he is going to enter the forbidden grounds.

  Suddenly, Amen finds himself there.

  While angrily clearing his display and dealing with warnings, he loses Bomani, though his radar shows he is right before him.

  The small temple looks abandoned and half eaten by the desert and the sand.

  It is ominous, even in the day time, with its large pillars and defaced statues and gods that are crumbled before it.

  Some spires look like they have been remade or fashioned in such a way that they were always intended to be half buried and destroyed and defaced.

  Blacked out or broken in sections in carvings and monuments that make the gods and idols even more horrifying.

  Amen jumps off his horse and pulls his sword.

  He sees the valley of sand leading into the entrance of the horrific buried temple.

  "Come out, Bomani!"

  Nothing. Just the sand and wind and heat.

  "Bring me my scroll!" Amen demands.

  Suddenly, Bomani explodes out of the sand from a secret tunnel and compartment.

  Amen's displays all go off.

  He wields a spear, swinging it.

  Amen blocks the blows, and tries to cut at Bomani, but is exposed.

  The spear slams hard across Amen's face.

  All of his life and stamina and experience immediately plummet.

  Blood fills his face and eyes.

  FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  Then his display flashes something completely else before seemingly turning off.

  NOT PREPARED FOR FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

  Flashes of light.

  Sand.

  Fire.

  Priests.Different priests.

  Wearing different, less sacred garbs.

  With strange dark paint all over their bodies.

  They sing a horrible song and pull and tug at Amen as he goes in and out of the darkness.

  Moans and screams and torches of fire.

  A horrible beast growls. The lowest and most sinister growl ever registered.

  "His heart will work very nicely!!! It may pump for days."

  Chains and fire and more priests cutting and torturing others.

  Dungeon chains.

  Then Bomani, finally.

  "Welcome, Amen. Even Osiris himself has bid this place a hell he won’t enter."
