His Princess

Deep Blue Sea

"Since we already know the Scrolls of Thebes were part of the Athenis Cargo, we just need to find it's ship's cargo log and find out where they were dropped off!" said Rick. "Skip ahead to the part about the scrolls." "Maybe you should try learning how to read ancient Greek, Dad." said Mary as she read along to golden writing on a stone wall with her Mom. "Thanks, sweetheart, but I think I'll wait for the movie." said Rick making Mary laugh and shake her head. "The text states that home port of the War ship, Athena, was the ancient city of Menosos." said Evy. "And since the last entry we have from Alexander's Diary says that he put the scrolls on the Athena for safe keeping...." said Alex. "We just need the ship's logs to tell us where they were unloaded!" said Rick. "I thought Menosos was wiped out years ago though." said Mary with a frown. "Your right, Mary, it was. And the city's exact location is a mystery. So far the text only says that the city was swallowed by the sea around four hundred B.C." said Evy reading the golden text. "Swallowed by the sea, how?" asked Rick. "The Earth shook, the clouds darkened, and the flood waters rose." read Mary. "You ever notice how stories about ancient civilizations never have happy endings." said Rick. "Or the people who lived during those times." said Mary. "Relax, Mary, as soon as we figure out who this Jabari guy was reincarnated into, you're home free!" said Alex. "Maybe, but a doubt some wedding will get this thing off my head!" said Mary pointing to the crown. "Think about it this way, Mary, you won't have to worry about Imhotep trying to marry you anymore." said Rick. "Point taken!" laughed Mary. "And the fist of Zeus came down came crashing down...." Evy's reading was interrupted by a purple fist breaking through the wall. "Oh come on!" yelled Mary stomping her foot. "Imhotep!" gasped Evy. "I hate party crashers!" said Rick holding his family close. "And I hate mummies!" said Mary as Imhotep walked towards them. "Soon I will possess more power then Zeus ever dreamed!" said the mummy towering over the family. 'Oh he is REALLY beginning to get on my nerves now!' thought Mary. "Give me my bride, NOW!" shouted Imhotep. "You know, you REALLY need to drop the whole bride thing!" said Mary clinging to her father for dear life. "I do not think so, Princess." said Imhotep grabbing Mary roughly by the arm. "Don't say I didn't warn you." said Mary with a smirk before whistling loudly towards the car a few feet away. Anubis poked his head out of the car looking around before spotting the mummy and snarling and leaping out running towards the mummy barking. "Good boy, Anubis!" said Rick as the jackal tackled the mummy to the ground. "Hey, I warned him!" said Mary. "Cursed animal! Get off me!" cried Imhotep wrestling with the animal. Mary snickered as Anubis grabbed part of the wall in his mouth and tossed it towards Imhotep's head. "OW!" yelled the mummy. Anubis began barking before running towards the car and clawing at the glove compartment. Alex ran next to the jackal and opened the compartment and pulled out the dagger they found with the dog. "The dagger, how'd he get that!?" asked Rick. "I don't know! I could've sworn I securely locked it up!" said Evy. "MOM! DAD!" yelled Mary backing away from the mummy who was progressing towards her. Alex looked at the dagger to the animal and his sister. "Mary, catch!" yelled Alex throwing the dagger in his sister's direction. "What good is this going to do, he's already dead!" shouted Mary grabbing the dagger and holding it in front of her backing away. "I have you now, Princess!" said Imhotep. Mary squeezed her eyes tightly as the blade of the dagger and the crown around her head lit up. Mary heard a loud crash and slowly cracked an eye open and gasped at the brightly glowing blade. "Whoa, an enchanted dagger! Way to go, Jabari!" said Alex noticed Imhotep knocking unconscious. "Works for me!" yelled Mary making a run for the car and she and Alex jumped in the back seat. "Evy, now is not the time for a long good bye!" said Rick opening the driver's side door. "I'm coming! But we must find the location of the lost city!" said Evy looking through the pieces of the writing. "Mom, hurry!" yelled Mary. Evy grabbed two pieces and ran towards the car. "Come on!" said Alex holding out his arms and grabbing Tut as Rick stepped on the gas pedal. "No sign of the mummy whirlwind!" said Alex looking behind them. "Looks like we lost him!" said Mary. "Imhotep's like a bad rash. He shows up where you least expect it!" said Rick from behind the wheel. "Weasler must've found another copy of Alexander's diary! We're just lucky to be one step ahead of him!" said Evy. "And I'M lucky Anubis somehow got the dagger back. Imhotep would've gotten me for sure if he hadn't!" said Mary as Alex grabbed the second piece of stone and sat back down. "Now wait a minute, Mary, who said you were going to keep it?!" asked Rick. "Richard, as much as I don't agree with our twelve year old daughter carrying around a dangerous weapon, it DID protect her from Imhotep." said Evy as Alex came out of another vision. "Menosos was on the coast of Crete! I even know were the Athens records were kept! " he said. "How'd you know that?" asked Evy turning to look at her son. "Vision." said Mary looking over at her brother. "Mary's right! The only thing that was missing was the popcorn though." said Alex making Mary laugh. "Alex, that's fantastic! Osiris himself would be proud!" said Evy rubbing her son's head as Anubis barked. "So we know what we need and where to find it but how are we going to get to a city twenty thousand leagues under the sea?" asked Rick. "Perhaps I know of a way." said Evy.
