The horse thief was shown at the bar with other man as a women pours them more drinks " and he said it's not the size of the hump it is the motion of the camel" he says as they all laugh before horns are heard like an alarm as a women is heard screaming as many of memnons man run past as he quickly gets nervous.

"Alas must leave now"he says before quickly getting up he rushed off just as philos was shown back in his I'm visiting room as he hears the horns before quickly getting up looking out the window seeing the leader of the guard and executioner point straight at him.

"There's the traitor" the Executioner says as philos pales as he needed to get out of here as the street was shown as many of memnons man run past as disguised Matthias ,Dyiana and the sorceress who dressed like the townspeople as Matthias hold a dagger to the sorceress waist hidden as they walk out of the city undetected as the gates closed with a creak behind them.

A camel was heard bellowing as the horse thief was shown struggling to get the camels through some rocks as he pulls on the rope trying to get them to move "they are dead! Just admit it you smelly camel!" He grunts as it Bellow's loudly.

"I am your master now you belong to me! They are dead! Dead!" He yells to the stubborn camels before jumping when a hand slammed down onto his shoulder making him look to see Matthias and Dyiana alive with a women with them.

"You are both alive I knew it!" He says.

"Sure you did" Dyiana says as she whistles as her camel comes forward as she lets its head gently as the other camel goes to Matthias as the horse thief moves out the way.

" I was just saying to the camel no one could kill our good friends Matthias and dyiana" the horse thief says with a nervous smile.

Dyiana make sher camel lower as she looks at the sorceress "get on" she says nodding her head to get on the camel.

"Why should I make it easy for either of you two you both have sworn to kill me" the sorceress says. 

"Others will die first "Matthias says as he gets on his camel.

"My husbands right now like I said get on" Dyiana says as the sorceress looks at the horse thief before looking back at the two akkadians.

"That's comforting"the sorceress says that she gets in the first seat on the camel throwing one leg over as she climbs on before Dyiana gets on behind her throwing her leg over climbing into second seat climbing on.

"So who is your friend"the horse thief asked them.

"memnons sorcerer" Matthias says.

The horse thief pales "memnons sorcerer are you both insane she's going to get us all killed!" He says as the candles then stood up as they move forward.

"memnon will have to leave the safety of his palace to get to her " Matthias says.

"So your going to use me first then kill me I feel so much better "the sorceress says as Dyiana just gives her a smile.

" We could always do it the other way if you like were we kill you first" Dyiana says as the candles continue to walk as they rock side to side as the horse thief followed on foot.

"So where are we going" the horse thief asked.

"The valley of the dead" Matthias says as the horse thief stops staring after them in disbelief as they continue forward.

"The valley of the dead nobody goes to the valley of the dead! That's why they call it the valley of the dead! Wait for me please!" The horse thief rants running after them.

A bowl of black scorpions was shown as one was picked up by its tail as it's legs and pinchers wiggle around in the air before it was placed on a hand showing memnon in his throne room as the only light they had was the burning fire pits and torches.

He then picks it back up by the tail sitting it into a different bowl "take a dozen of your best man track them down kill them....and bring her back to me" he says before turning to the lead of his guards before turning back to the bowel.

"Send me news when they are dead" he says as a man walks over to the leader of the gard with a bird as it now rested on the guards wrist.

"My lord there are rumors spreading to the armies that she's gone" Takmet says as he eats on a chicken leg as memnon turns around.

"Is this true" he asked.

"It is my lord" the leader of the guard says.

"Then silence them! They must believe she is here if only for a short time " memnon says turning around as the scorpion that he held earlier was shown with its tail ripped in half as he moves a tip of an arrow into the poison coating it as he then lifts it up before sliding a cover on it before doing the same with another arrow as he dips into the poison coating it as well before sliding another cover over the arrow 

" And when you do find the akkadians give them this from me" memnon says turning to face the leader of the guard before walking down a few stone steps as he holds the two arrows out to him that will kill the two akkadians.
