** The horror slumbers buried under many meters of rubble and desert sand. Nameless cartouches, desecrated relics, and a sarcophagus containing an ancient riddle. **


"Ancient lands lost in time.
Storms of sand, walls of lime
Surround this mask of death that I wear
Awakened by invading souls
The curse of Pharaoh upon you
Who dares to invade his holy ground
The gods rise to destroy you."
- Symphony X - 


When young student and photography enthusiast Arabella Redcliffe visits her uncle at an excavation site in Egypt anno 1922, ancient secrets are uncovered that should have remained hidden forever. 

The men and women of the archaeological excavation stumble upon a still-sealed burial chamber. But not only its condition and location raise questions. Who was buried here, why was his name erased from all records and reliefs, and why were many grave goods wantonly desecrated? 

Together, Arabella and the dashing archaeological assistant Miles Thornton try to get to the bottom of the mysteries. But then, inexplicable and terrible events begin to take their course. If they don't figure out what's going on in this cursed place fast enough, this tomb could become theirs, too.

Family Comes First by CRAZY40429

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born?

"It says here you were born in 1776?" Larry Daley read the old brown sheet of paper in front of him. Rowena just smiled, but her eyes said more. "That's right." ___ Born in a storm, Rowena was found by a man of humility and kindness that no one could ask for - at times of inhumane acts and discrimination. But when a group of cultists demand an ancient gold coin claimed by her, she is buried under the rubble of temple. However, it's only a few days later when she wakes up...buried alive with a tombstone next to a grave. Rowena Elizabeth Clarke wanders for the next two hundred and thirty years, never staying in the same place for more than thirty years. But as the years pass, and the world changes around her, she begins to struggle to blend into the people that were carved by history. Torn by disasters, war and celebration: she would walk the earth as a ghost. Until one night in the New York Museum of Natural History, where she encounters the magical tablet once more...where it would bring life to the rest of history in front of her and the new night guard. But with a tablet: comes a king; and Rowena will meet an old soul once more, someone she has met many decades before. ____ • Follows through NATM 1 & 2 and the beginning of NATM 3 • Canon Divergence partway through NATM 3 • Warnings of Violence, Major/Minor Deaths and lots of Angst. • No Mummies, Artefacts or Capuchins were damaged in the making of this story. #blm #womenofhistory #6 in fanfiction (14/11/2021) #1 in history (15/11/2021) #1 in ramimalek (29/04/2022)
