TOMBQUEST

3. Trust

Abun Ke walked through the thorn door. She glanced around. There seemed to be nothing there. "Hathor?" whispered Abun Ke in a worried manner. "Where are you, where have you gone?"

Suddenly an echoing voice started booming, it was Hathor. "You have to face this certain challenge on your own young Ke, it is a challenge of your mental strength and your heart. In about ten minutes you will see a vision of one of the rulers of ancient Egypt, I am not sure who it will be but whoever it is I am almost positive they will tell you what the challenge is and they will tell you what to do." As he came near the end of his little speech his voice began to fade away until it was gone.

Just as Hathor had said, ten minutes later she saw a vision of a ruler of ancient Egypt. It was Kufu. He had an Ankh around his neck.

Suddenly the vision of Kufu called out. "Soon you will have to choose one of the four elements, Air, Fire, Water, Earth. In front of you, in hieroglyphics, on the wall is the first letter of each of the elements, but you have to solve this riddle if you get it wrong you have to die."

 

Kufu told her the riddle but Abun Ke got it wrong. Some giant needles appeared out of the walls and started to close in on her. "Hathor!"screamed Abun Ke "I call upon my ka to help me endure this task, Hathor I trust you!"

At that moment the spikes stopped and retreated. the vision of Kufu told Abun Ke that this test was about trust and you trusted your ka to help you. You have passed this test, you may now choose one of the four elements.
