"Isabella...he's waiting for you.", a female voice whispered.

I looked around to find myself in a bright room all alone. Who was talking to me? The whispers continued but I still couldn't find the person who spoke to me. She was talking about him. But who was he?

"Who are you talking about?"

"His Highness.", the voice replied to my surprise.

His Highness? Was she talking about Prince William? If yes why should he wait for me? He didn't even know me. But the voice asked me to follow her and I did as she said. The voice leaded me to two doors. 'You only have one choice. Choose the right door or you'll die.', I guessed. One of them was made of stone, the other one was made of gold. Each of them had hieroglyphic carvings, which I couldn't read, unfortunately. I guessed that the right answer would be written on the doors or what was behind them at least. But daring is living so I just chose the stoned door. There was a canyon and in the canyon, I could see white fog. But then I realized that it wasn't fog but it were souls, ghosts or whatever they were called. In the middle, there was a narrow path which leaded to another platform. I didn't know what would await me there but I had no other choice than walking over because behind me, I could hear a growl. I turned around to see Chimera? Why was Chimera after me? The creature was about to attack me when I fled to the creepy room of souls. I excepted Chimera to follow me but the beast didn't step closer, no it didn't dare to enter the room. This made me curious. Whatever at the end of this path was, it must have been very powerful. Not caring what awaited me at the end, I started walking the path. I had to take care since I didn't want get lost with these souls. Not that I was afraid of falling but never coming back from the underworld made me shiver. The souls were whispering something, I didn't understand. That caused me to get more curious and to my misfortune, I forgot to take care. I suddenly lost my balance and fell. My hands grabbed the stoned, thin path I was walking on earlier.
'Not now! I have to know, what's at the end!', I panicked.
I tried to pull myself up but something was pulling me back down. It were the souls and they tried to take me with them! But I was too young to die! I couldn't die! Not now! Not before I knew what was awaiting me at the end of the path.
I soon couldn't hold my own weight anymore but I dug my nails into the stoned path. I didn't know how long I struggled and tried to get to get up while being pulled down but at some time, someone appeared. It was a young man with nice styled three coloured hair. His face was blackened out by the shadows, that was the reason why I couldn't see him. He wore old clothes that was modern in the ancient Egypt. I kept staring at him and he suddenly offered me his hand for help. I hesitated for a moment, just being frozen by his appearance until one of the souls tried to pull me down again. I took his hand and he pulled me up. Although I was standing in front of him, his hands around my waist and mine around his shoulders, I couldn't see his face. But why? I didn't understand.
