the Thief of Forbidden Manuscripts

part 15

Inside the room, Hamush is standing and looking at a piece of paper he was holding when Sami and his father's avatar arrived.
Hello, Mr Hamush.
Hello, Sami.
Have you gathered the required information about the train journey?
Yes, just some, as you know no one travels there, but there are always rumours.
I'm listening, Mr Hamush.
At this moment, the cat "Pearl" appears out of nowhere and turns into a little girl saying "Hello, and I apologise for coming to you like this without a prior appointment" and then she hands the boy a rolled up paper with a string tied in the middle before she continues "This is the license, and Mr Abboud wishes you an enjoyable trip and success in your endeavour".

The boy reaches out and grabs the license, "Thank you, Pearl, and send my regards and greetings to Mr Abboud and tell him we will visit him as soon as possible," Sami said as the child began to turn into a cat again before disappearing as suddenly as she had appeared.
Sami hides the license inside his clothes and then turns to Hamush and says, "What were you going to tell us, my friend?"
The genie smiles, looks at the paper and then says: "Sami, know that your journey to the Tower of the Dead will last all night, during which you will pass through three stations in three small cities, after the last city you will cross over the lake of torment and you will hear voices that will try to influence you to throw yourself, so be careful.
Then you will reach the " Harbish" mountains and you will enter through caves and tunnels where some entities that no one wants to meet live, close your window well and do not leave your compartment for any reason, then you will reach the Tower of the Dead by dawn, which is your last destination where the train will stop there, and I advise you, "Sami" to never take off your magic cloak, ...
As for the snacks and drinks compartment, don't go to it, stay in your compartment, you have your magic wand and it's enough for everything, you don't need to get in contact with anyone, you're just a human child and that train carries witches, outcasts, possessed people and a lot of dead bodies, so be careful."
This is very scary, Hamush.
I'm just stating the facts, Sami, so be careful and expect anything at any moment inside that train, and always remember the golden advice (don't trust anyone).
The Avatar says, "It's time, Sami, it's time for the train."
He replies, "Yes, Dad, I'm all set and ready and we'll each jump on our own."
Well, let's go then.

4- Journey to the Tower of the Dead
Inside the station, the train to the Tower of the Dead is ready to start, many passengers, witches, zombies and some families take their seats as the halo forms and the Avatar emerges from it... Not far from him, Sami suddenly appears...

The boy raises his head and looks at the big clock hanging there and says, "It's half past seven, we still have plenty of time to get ourselves ready and look for the pre-booked compartment, Dad."
They approach the station attendant who is explaining to one of them where her compartment is, "Your room is nine in the second compartment and you have to get off at the first station in Fog City." She replies, "Thank you, attendant."
Sami approaches the same worker, greets him and hands him the two tickets, he looks at them and says: "Room number 15 in the third compartment and yours is the last stop... Try to get a good night's sleep and don't forget to close your window, there are no sights worth seeing."
Yes sir, thank you for your advice.
Sami and the Avatar board and head to the third compartment, where they find a uniformed guard, thinly built with sharp features that reflect his strictness, who directs them to the intended room, then leaves, wishing them a good trip with a recommendation not to open the window.
Inside the room, Sami sits by the window and looks at his wristwatch, it is ten minutes to eight, and the boy is thinking about how to spend all this time inside this boring room because it seems that this trip is going to be long ... very long.
The remaining minutes pass slowly, and the train finally departs, leaving behind a thick black smoke and a complete and unnatural silence, because the boy does not hear anything and at the same time cannot open the window according to safety instructions, which made him feel very bored, so he decided to pick up one of the magazines already placed on the table after the avatar who was reading one of the weekly newspapers ...
