Ben and his father took their seats on the crowded plane. Ben leaned his head back and covered his eyes with his leather fedora like he had seen his father do many times. This was going to be a long flight.

Ben stood on a balcony overlooking the starlit city of Cairo. He was no longer wearing brown the suit that he had been wearing only moments before, instead, he was wearing traditional Egyptian clothes.

He looked out over buildings, this was the most beautiful place he had ever seen.

He felt a gentle touch on his shoulder and turned to see a beautiful young woman. Her dark brown hair hung loosely over her shoulders.

She wrapped her arm around his waist and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Ben looked down at her for a moment before he rubbed her back tenderly in response.

"Look at this, kid." He pointed to the scroll that Dr. Anderson had given him, the one that contained the location of the tombs of the twin queens. "It says that the queens were erased from the line of pharaohs to prevent the location of Queen Uadjit's tomb from falling into the wrong hands."

Ben nodded, groggily. "So that's why everyone thinks that they're just a myth."

Indy nodded in agreement. "Maybe you were right about the twin queens after all. Maybe they do exist."

"Did you just say that I might be right?" Ben smirked.

"Yeah, but don't get the big head about it kid. Besides, these scrolls could have been written more like a fairytale than a historical document. Remember what I've taught you, you can't jump to conclusions just because it's what you want to be true."

"I know father, it's just that your legacy is a lot to live up to. You've found so many amazing things and I've found nothing but a little bit of gold and a few idols."
