the scorpion king

The palace

Mathis and diyana walk over to there camels as they grab each a small sack of Ruby's as they tie then to there waist "you ready"diyana asked her husband.

"Yeah"Mathis says nodding his head as they walk through the crowd past many markets as they head straight for the main palace where there enemy was they pass by a markets filled with concubine women that are bearly wearing anything who set there eyes on Mathis "hey soldier those big muscles look cramped."one says with a smirk.

Another one steps forward"perhaps one of us can help you relax "she says.

"Maybe all of us"another says as dyiana glares grabbing Mathis wrist as she yanks him forward walking away from the women "I don't think so"she snaps as Mathis chuckled at his wife as they walk through the crowd.

They stop as they look ahead of them was the main palace with a stone statue of there enemy they needed to get to the very top"that's gonna be a long climb"dyiana says.

"Yeah but we can handle it"Mathis says as they walk forward before they were surrounded by a group of kids "mister! Lady! You need a guide to find your way in Gomorrah"a kid with curly black hair with ragged clothing says in front of them as he walks backwards as they stop.

Mathis bends over with his hands on his knees "a good guide might be able to show us a way into memnons palace"he says.

"But a smart guide wouldn't or he'd be shown into memnons dungeon"the boy says as the other boys laugh before there bags of Ruby's were cut off as the boys run off"get get back here!"diyana yells as she and Mathis chase after them a story play a game of keep away from the two warriors before seeing the one who distracted them running off with there Ruby's as they run after him through a dark tunnel before they crawl out the passage into an alley as they look around.

"He has to be here somewhere kids are good at hiding"diyana says as they look around before they share a look as they see a few pots in front of them as they walk forward.

Mathis pulls his sword out as he taps it against the pots before doing the same to the third one it had a high pitched thud then the first two as they share a look. Mathis puts his sword away as he opens the top showing the boy with a sheepish smile as he waves before he is helped out by Mathis as he sits in front of them on top another pot.

The boy then hands them there Ruby's back but Mathis felt his lighter before looking at the boy holding his hand out as the boy spits the Ruby out his mouth.

"Maybe we should let him earn this one"diyana says as she and Mathis share a look as he turns back to the boy"you want to earn this one"he asked. The boy is then shown with his head looking around a corner as diyana and Mathis do the same as they were shown in a passage of the palace as they quietly jog forward before stopping hearing an loud movement as a shadow was shown ahead as voice can be heard ahead as Mathis grabs the kid making his gasp quietly before he sits the boy back down as he and dyiana grab there swords "get ready we'll kill half you kill half"Mathis says.

"Mathis "she says with a look as the boy looks at him in disbelief"alright me and my wife will kill them all"he says.

"How about we go around them and not kill anybody"the boy says before grabbing there wrist as he was shown leading them through a passage as Mathis opens the door.

Dyiana looks around at all these inventions"somebody has a lot of time on that hands"she says before a man with handmade goggles looks up from his work seeing he had visitors before jumping as a spark happened following by a small explosion as he takes his goggles off before noticing the women and men have weapons on them"good lord are you both gonna kill me"he says.

"Maybe later"Mathis says making diyana smack him in the chest giving him a look.

"Memnons always threatening to have my head"the elder man says as the boy was shown fixing to touch an invention that was shown with some kind of material as a piece spins knocking some off the top"don't touch that"he says.

"What is it"the boy asked.

"That my friend is my special magic powder "the elder man explained what it's for as diyana and Mathis walk around before the men sighs"like all my inventions memnon will try to use it for war"he says with dread.

"Where is memnon "Mathis asked.

"Oh yall mean to kill him do y'all"the men asked as Mathis rested his sword against the men's neck."well in that case I'd say he was in the training courtyard "the elderly man says pulling the blade away.

Mathis and diyana were shown climbing up a wooden ladder to one of the small towers were they can get a good shot before turning back to the boy as Mathis tossed him a small Ruby as the boy smiles nodding his head in thanks before running off.

Diyana climbs up first as she lands on her feet "we have to get a clean shot were only gonna have one chance"she says as she and her husband crunch down before the stone ledge as they watch memnon train as as Mathis gets his bow and arrow ready.

"Oh no"dyiana says as she and Mathis watch as the guards bring in the little boy.

"Let me go I didn't do anything"the boy grunts as memnon walks over as the guard forced his hand open showing a rubby as memnon grabs it looking at the boy.

"You know the penalty for thievery"memnon says as the guards drag the boy over to a to a table pushing everything off as the position him to have his arm chopped off by takement who grabs a large axe while memnon was being attended to by two women.

"Mathis I know we need to kill memnon but the innocent boy is about to lose his arm we have to do something"diyana says just as takement lifts the axe as he goes to swing before Mathis shoots the arrow pinning the axe to the wall shocking everyone "intruders!"a guard says.

Mathis notches another arrow quickly shooting it at memnon who blocks it with a sword as the two quickly leave there hiding spot.
