The Mummy Returns (A Rick O'Connell Fanfic) {2}

Prologue

Thebes - 3067 B.C

5,000 years ago, a fierce warrior, known as the Scorpion King, had a great army on a campaign to conquer the known world.

The Scorpion King and his army marched with weapons and shields in hand, ready to battle as their opponents did the same. The Scorpion King raised his sword as his bracelet shone in the sun, before his army followed his actions. He yelled to his army to start the battle and they all did, running towards the other army as the battle commenced.

After a vicious campaign which lasted 7 long years, the scorpion king and his army were defeated and driven deep into the sacred desert of Ahm Shere. One by one, they slowly perished under the scorching sun, until only the great warrior himself was left alive.

As the Scorpion King, and the remains of his army, walked in the desert, they all started to die off into the sands, with only the king was left.

Near death, the scorpion king made a pact with the dark god, Anubis, that if Anubis, would spare his life and let him conquer his enemies, he would give him his soul.

The Scorpion King fell on his knees, as he yelled to Anubis, the dark god, for a trade.

Anubis accepted his offer and spared his life.

A Scorpion came out of the sand, and started to scatter towards the Scorpion King. The king knew that he had to eat the scorpion, in order to make his offer official. He took a bot of the scorpion, before standing to see that the sand around him, turned to grass. The desert itself, turned into grass, trees, plants and eventually became a forest (The Oasis of Ahm Shere).

Anubis gave the Scorpion King command of his army, and like an evil flood, they washed away all that lay before them.

His army, which looked like black dogs/wolves, had weapons in hand as they set the palace into flames, taking the people away and destroying most of which could be destructed.

When his task was done, Anubis forced the Scorpion King to serve him for all time. His army was returned to the sands from whence they came, where they wait, silently to be awakened once again.

The Scorpion King stopped fighting as a large light beam, took over his body, making him shake and his bracelet falling to the sand. His army turned into black ash and disappeared in the sands of the desert.
