Carefully, they entered the interior of the pyramid. The walls were painted with old hieroglyphics. "You know, without Anubis, it's great to be able to be here," Caramba said. Ria looked at the paintings and Cece asked, "Can you read this?" Ria nodded: "Yes, and I'm fascinated by their stories." Smiling a little, she continued as three courses split in front of them. "And what now?" Zak pondered. "Okay, Crogar and Ria, you take the right - Cece and Caramba, the left aisle. I go down the middle." "Alone? Again?" asked Caramba, horrified. "I'm not alone, I have Calabrass," Zak replied. None of them really wanted to go down the aisles. "People, when we split up, the chance is higher that we find the Planetarium than we will end up in a trap." "You're going to be pretty easy," Cece shouted to Zak afterwards, who was already on his way. Ria looked after him thoughtfully. "Is he always like this?" "Oh yes," Cece said. 

Ria and Crogar 

Ria felt a little uncomfortable because Crogar was three times the size of her. "And what do you like to do?" asked Ria, and then asked herself why she had asked this question. "Bash up skeletons!" Crogar replied enthusiastically. "And otherwise?" "Food!" Ria grinned - he was a typical Viking. The walk seemed miserably long and somehow Ria felt like she was being persecuted. 

Cece and Caramba 

Cece's nerves were almost bare. Caramba calculated something here, using a few complicated technical words. "I'm calm!" she muttered. Suddenly, Cece stopped. The ground under her feet became softer. "Eww... what is that?" Caramba looked up briefly and immediately started running away in panic. "Hey, what are you doing?" "That's quicksand! Run!" Cece couldn't hear that twice. 

Zak/Calabrass 

Zak hadn't heard of all these problems. "You know Brassy, the Planetarium will save us a lot of thought." "For that, we would have to know where it is..." "Don't always think so pessimistic." Suddenly, Zak stepped on a stone that triggered a gunshot mechanism and an arrow just mm from his face. 

It didn't look so good with Ria and Crogar either. They were being squeezed by moving walls. "I knew this was a stupid idea!" Crogar held his sword between the walls and they came to a halt. 

Zak had to be careful not to get pierced, Cece sank further and further in the quicksand. Situations from which an escape seemed impossible. If there wasn't great luck: Zak touched the wall and the three-aisle trapdoors opened and they were thrown into a large hall. "You see Calabrass, we're all right." Cece could no longer hold out. "All right? Because of you, we almost went for it!" Ria went in between them. "People, as much as I'd like to agree with you, it won't get us any further." Crogar had turned around and discovered a triangular sculpture. "She shines so beautifully!" The Planetarium glowed in front of them on a pedestal. "It can't be that simple, can it?" Zak was just taking the object from its seat, when an all-too-familiar voice sounded behind them: "No one move!" Zak moaned: "Not again!"
