Into the Darkness

  Mostafa tosses a rope to Amen and Ziyad as the crocodile creature is devouring the priests in whole bites and swallows.

  "You first," Amen says to his cousin.

  "You're right. I only have one hand."

  "I'm well aware! Go! Go!"

  Mostafa and his men help pull Ziyad up, then toss the rope back.

  Priests run from the crocodile and start to pull on Ziyad's legs at the last moment he is pulled up.

  He kicks them away as Amen grabs the rope.

  The dinosaur like creature turns its attention towards Amen, having enough of the priestly diet.

  The crocodile's tale whacks one priest, breaking his back with a snap, then crawls over him to get to Amen.

  Amen is pulled up.

  The crocodile lunges and snaps as Amen leaps out of the way into Ziyad and Mostafa's arms.

  The beast, angry, then goes over to the priest it disabled and grabs him and drags him back to the darkness and begins chewing him to death, screams included.

  Other priests run around mad, trying to get out of the animal enclosure.

  Mostafa embraces Amen.

  Amen turns to him.

  "Thank you. You know, you just went to war with Pharoah's bodyguards."

  "Good!" Mostafa cheers.

  Amen follows radar like footprints of Ziyad walking away.

  "Ziyad...where..."

  Amen stops.

  Ziyad stands before a wing of the temple.

  Amen's treasure hunting XP starts dialing back up.

  Before Ziyad and him is a whole room of treasure.

  Treasure.

  Upon treasure.

  Upon treasure.

  All the treasures thieves and others had taken, but the Madjay had taken from them and said it was lost, was before them.

  Priceless head pieces and idols and swords and full chariots and thrones.

  Everything Bomani had kept, right before them.

  "No wonder they kept it hidden," Ziyad says to himself, as he reaches and starts grabbing whatever he can carry.

  "Like what you see?" Bomani's voice carries.

  Amen and Mostafa pull their weapons and watch as Bomani comes out of the darkness, armed with a golden sword.

  "Nice collection, Archer. Too bad you won't have it much longer. Your temple is discovered. Pharaoh's army is assuredly on its way." Amen readies for a final fight.

  Bomani thinks of it.

  "You are correct. No one can have this. Any of this. And you will all die with me."

  With that, Bomani tosses his sword and runs into the darkness.

  As he goes into the darkness, he grabs a huge sledgehammer.

  "Everyone run. Get out of here," Amen says, running after him.

  "But cousin!" Ziyad yells, filling his pockets with coins.

  "Now! Go!"

  Amen's display shows that he is following Bomani into a series of dungeons, hidden in the desert sand.
