Excerpt from the story -

I placed the glistening amethyst into the depression that seemed to be made just for the magical stone. The odd shape of the amethyst fit perfectly inside the hollow. As soon as it was placed there, it began to glow.

I could feel the strong magic behind the purple glow. It appeared as if some forces were moving inside the amethyst causing waves and ripples in the solid stone. Purple light made its way through the design toward the coffin.

My heart was beating faster than ever.

A lot happened in a single moment. As soon as the light touched the coffin, the holy amethyst cracked. The walls of the long-forgotten tomb began to shake. I was afraid that the ancient structure might collapse, taking us down with it but nothing in my seven years of research could have prepared me for what happened next.

The lid of the coffin of the vicious emperor moved. Then came the rotten, shriveled yet somehow alive corpse of the nineteen years old pharaoh, Tutankhamun himself. I had provoked the ancient forces with that amethyst and the result couldn't be good.

Ken Hudson has provoked the wrong sort. What will he do now? What forced him to wake the ancient forces? How will he survive when Flight isn't an option and Fight seems to be impossible?
