Can A Museum Solve Your Problems?

London Part 2

We finally made it to the Egypt exhibit. Once we said but to Lancelot, we began to enter the main part of the Egyptian exhibit.

"I haven't seen these walls for many a moon." Ahkmenrah said, looking around. I was walking with Nick now, because I was a little afraid. People of high power scare me, but I had made out with these people of power's son, so I was even more frightened. When we got closer, we saw that there were two open sarcophaguses and suddenly, a woman appeared.

"Ahkmen?" The woman seemed surprise and happy to see Ahkmenrah.

"Mother." Ahkmenrah replied, just as surprised and happy. The woman rushed to Ahkmenrah and hugged him. She looked like she wanted to cry. Then a man stepped out. "Father." Ahkmenrah said, very respectfully.

"Welcome home my son." The man pulled Ahkmenrah into a hug. All of us smiled at the happy reunion. Once the hug was over, Ahkmenrah stepped back.

"I want you to meet my friends." Ahkmenrah motioned towards Larry, teddy, Sacagawea, Attila, Nick and I. Ahkmenrah's parents introduced themselves proudly. Ahkmenrah's father was Merenkahre and his mother was Shepseheret. Very hard names to say.

"And I am Larry." Larry said.

"Guardian of Brooklyn." Ahkmenrah finished for Larry.

"Yes, well I actually live in Manhattan now."

"I know but it doesn't should as cool." Ahkmenrah whispered. Ahkmenrah doesn't introduce anyone else, and Larry begins talking. Merenkahre and Larry go back and forth about his staff and religion. While that was happening, Ahkmenrah motioned for me to come to him. I did so, very hesitantly.

"Listen, can you take a look at the tablet." Larry finally says. Ahkmenrah hands Merenkahre the tablet and he hands him his staff. Merenkahre looks at the tablet closely.

"It's losing power." Merenkahre says.

"Do you think you can fix it?" Larry asks.

"To do that, I would have to divulge the secret of the tablet."

"I promise we won't tell anybody?"

"No."

"I'll kiss your staff?"

"Too late."

"Father, why do you insist on keeping this to yourself?" Ahkmenrah finally speaks up.

"The secret was too be passed down to you at the proper time."

"Well, it had been four thousand years, now seems like a good time." Ahkmenrah says, with a little attitude. His father finally tells the secrets of the tablet, plus a heartwarming story. Once he says it's been away from the moon god's light for too long, the corrosion begins again.

Everyone from the New York museum got affected but Ahkmenrah was worse than the others. He stumbled backwards and it looked like he was beginning to deteriorate into a mummy again. I put my hand on his back to keep him steady until his mother rushed over.

"It needs moonlight; otherwise we'll all be dead by sunrise." Merenkahre told Larry, handing him the tablet. "Hurry! If the tablet dies, nothing can bring it back!" Larry took off running.

"Ahkmenrah..." I whispered. He was holding onto me tightly. I was close to crying. It seemed like he noticed. Once it passed, Ahkmenrah smiled at me.

"I am alright Arcadia." He tried to assure me. He wrapped an arm around me, partly to keep himself standing.

"Who is she?" Shepseheret asked Ahkmenrah.

"This is Arcadia Rei. She means a lot to me." Ahkmenrah explains, smiling at me. I blushed and looked down.

"You care about my son." It was Merenkahre who spoke up.

"I do." I was sort of terrified now.

"Protect him then." Was all he said. I was a little confused but glad I didn't just get murdered. I felt a kiss being pressed to my forehead. I looked up to see Ahkmenrah smiling at me.

"Thank you for coming against my wishes. I feel better with you here." Ahkmenrah explained, even though his parents were still right there and were able to hear what he said. I couldn't help but blush. Suddenly, Nick came rushing in to tell us that Lancelot stole the tablet. When we all met in the halls, Jedediah, Octavius and Dexter were there too.

We all spilt up to try to stop Lancelot from leaving the building. Naturally, I went with Ahkmenrah. I kept a close eye on him just in case he needed help. Thankfully we were with Teddy, so I wasn't too afraid of being helpless all alone again. I couldn't believe that dumbass Lancelot would steal the tablet. I so want to just break his wax body in half and melt him for putting my friends in danger.
