Zahra was dead. At least, she should have been if it weren't for an Egyptian Goddess deciding she didn't deserve to die so young. Yet, Zahra had no memories of the time before becoming an Avatar and it seemed that a trip to a familiar place was soon...

Feeling exhausted from the previous event and lack of protection now, Zahra decided to let Layla drive. The sun had begun to rise across the horizon as they followed the GPS to the tomb of Ammit.
"We can't lose more time. Harrow must be headed back to the tomb." Layla began,"Look, if he is, we're gonna need Marc, yeah?"
"She has a point, Steven," Omari agreed. "Ew, I don't like agreeing with people."
"No."
"No?" Layla questioned.
"No. See, the thing is, we made a deal, Marc and I, that when he was done with Khonshu, he would disappear for good."
"You guys made a deal?" Zahra didn't know whether to be upset or angry. "That he would just disappear from my life? Was that before or after you found out I was alive? And you didn't think that maybe I should've been made aware of that?"
"Oh. Well, hadn't he disappeared from your life already?" Steven suggested.
"Steven, having no memories...or being dead...is not the same," Zahra crossed her arms. "Just because I was forced to live without him for two months does not—"
"I mean, whatever. His suit was his best feature, wasn't it?" Layla interrupted. "Plus, I know him. He'd wanna lone wolf this whole thing. It's not happening. We're not gonna do that."
"We are not. It's just us and the open road." Steven nodded.
"We're gonna go on foot from here." Omari interrupted.
"Yeah, all right."
Zahra didn't say much as they walked on foot. She was frustrated that Marc would make a decision to abandon her when, just a few days ago, he had told her how he struggled with her death. Marc just 'disappearing' was no better.
"It looks like they're already inside. We'll need to find another way to beat them to Ammit," Zahra said quietly.
"Hello,"Steven greeted a camel, which caused Zahra to smile.
In the mind of Omari, he thought that Steven would be much better for Zahra than Marc would ever be. Steven and Zahra had the same interests, the same kindness and the same morals. Marc and Zahra were practically opposites...how did they stay together?
"Let's check for supplies," Layla instructed.
They all went separate ways to look for anything that could help them, even in the slightest ways. It wasn't a surprise that Steven managed to fall across a mirror, where Marc didn't look very happy.
"You look scared." said Marc.
"I'm not."
"Well, you should be. Without Khonshu, there's no more suit, no more healing, no more power."
