The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 25
The journey to the Valley Of Bones continued after many hours of travel,The soldiers kept on marching relentlessly across mountains, across rivers, across great hills and even across thick forests as their subjects rode on their horses and chariots leading the way.The sun had begun to disappear as the night came closer; in a few more hours, they would arrive at the Valley Of Bones.They continued to travel on a plateau that connected to the Valley ahead.The ground looks very deserted, with no sign of life on the plateau. There were no animals, no plants, only bones and rotten dead creatures on the ground.It is as if the place has been cursed or something.Gradually, the moon began to appear, and the captains of the soldiers immediately ordered the armies to light up their lanterns and mount them on their spears as they continued marching closer to the Valley.Tydeus kept looking around the deserted area. He quickly used his hands to cover his nose to shield his nostrils from the p
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 26
“The great Apophis that we all know is a gigantic dragon which only dwells deep in the forest of shadows”,“The legends even say that the great god of light, Ra, battled with Apophis for many years and couldn't get rid of it. If Apophis couldn't be killed by a god…”“How did ordinary mortals like you, Tydeus and Sakoh manage to kill such a powerful beast?” Artecus asked Rakeh fastidiously.Rakeh grinned towards Artecus with a weird smile as he continued riding his horse gently.“You want to know that huh?” Rakeh asked Artecus“I would love you to tell me”, Artecus replied to Rakeh with curiosity written all over his face.“This is something I will never tell anyone, but because Tydeus has made you one of us now, I think you should know”, Rakeh replied with a smile“Thanks, so how did it happen?” Artecus asked inquisitively again.“Hmm, have you ever heard of anything called the Stone-bane?” Rakeh asked Artecus.Artecus bowed his head, thinking vigorously; it seemed like something he h

“Oops! Never thought I would hear that”, Tydeus mumbled to himself playfully.“Why did you interrupt my sorcery in the shrine the other time?” Isis asked Tydeus angrily.“Oh, that? That wasn't inten…”“Don't tell me it's not intentional. I know you did it purposely”, Isis quickly opposed Tydeus“Alright, fine. It was actually because you were taking too much time…”“We were to prepare for war not to start a ceremony for the gods. All we needed to do was to pick up our weapons and head to the battlefront”“But you and your little maidens stood there wasting our time. I had to do what I had to do?” Tydeus explained himself frivolously.“Really? So consulting the gods before embarking on a dangerous mission is not important to you right?” Isis objected again. “Okay then, where is Osiris? I can't see Amun anywhere. Is Anubis behind you?”“No of course! We are the only ones going into this battle; the last time I checked, the gods were not going with us”“So what is the need to consult th

Tydeus stealthily came down from his horse and began tiptoeing towards the front. The King and the general wondered what he saw and they didn't.He kept on stepping gently and covertly on the muddy ground as he fixed his eyes to the front which had been made obscure by fog and darkness.An astounding silence took over the environment. Even the racing heartbeats of the King and his General could be heard as they held onto their weapons tightly in case Tydeus in front noticed any threat.Tydeus gently bent his head as he advanced furtively into the fog, trying to get hold of the tiny sound in the great silence. Suddenly, no one knew what Tydeus saw, He immediately pulled out his big sword from the sheath on his back.*Wushyynnnne!*The screeching sound of Tydeus's sword from his sheath interrupted the silence. As Tydeus's men saw that he had just pulled out his sword, they also brought out their weapons. It seems the Cytorex would love to play some mind games before the real fight.Ty

Isis rode her horse confidently to the front, locking her eyes on Tydeus's face with a bold smile. It seems this is her chance to prove to this “rude” Tydeus what she is capable of.“My sorceress, are you sure…”“I will go with them, Your Highness”, Isis cut into King Nezeron's question.Tydeus, whose face had been filled with seriousness, immediately lost his concentration as he saw Isis again. He unconsciously started gazing at her intently as she rode her horse forward.“You sure you really want to do this?” Tydeus leniently asked Isis with a playful smile.“Your men would probably need someone to save their asses”, Isis sarcastically whispered to Tydeus with a weird smile.Tydeus giggled silently as he took his eyes to Isis's face again in agreement with her and said, “Alright if you say so”.“Okay then, I guess we have to turn to the right isn't it, Captain?” Sakoh immediately asked Captain Kethrax“Yes”, Captain Kethrax replied.“You four better be very careful”, General Gyeron
The Avenger Of Giza CHAPTER 30
Back on the road to the broken bridge, Rakeh, Sakoh, Artecus and Isis kept sprinting on their horses like they were in a race. Only the moonlight illuminated the environment a little bit. The road was clear hence the reason why they were riding fast on their horses.But they got to a junction where the road was covered with logs of wood, clothes, broken boxes and ruined chariots. Some people must have lost their lives on this path. It is as if the victims were ambushed by thieves or probably the Cytorex. There were also no signs of life in this area, only that of some bats flying around and other eerie sounds from wild birds deep in the forest on the sides of the roads.The group immediately stopped their speed as they observed the terrible view in front. The sounds of the wild birds increased, they were no longer sounding like birds but like ghosts crying deep in the forest.“This path looks dangerous, something must be here. We better…”“I think we better slow down and ride our ho

“Thanks, sorceress, that was very mindful of you. This guy could have just killed himself now”, Sakoh said appreciating Isis.“So I just saved your ass for free the second time, the third time, I promise you, I wouldn't even move an inch”, Rakeh said angrily to Artecus“That wasn't fair! You all made to keep talking till I lost concentration”, Artecus protested“Alright, fine! Enough of all the jokes. Now let's get serious. So how do we cross this bridge?” Sakoh cleared the air and asked the group*Weouuweeeii!!!*Sakoh immediately whistled and called his sparrow which had been flying in the sky. The bird came to him and landed on his shoulders as all four of them kept looking, observing the view before them.The bridge seemed to have been a work of art but something terrible must have happened for the bridge to be broken in the middle, leaving only the starting part and the ending part that leads to the other side of the bridge.The four of them stood at the edge of the starting part

Artecus spread his hands, expressing his support for Rakeh's statement.“Exactly! In fact, this is not even something we should be arguing about. So who is going first?” Artecus asked; the group had probably agreed with him.“What? I wasn't referring to you. I'm not going to agree with someone who has been a talkative; I'm only going to agree with the person who has remained focused all this while…”“Only such a person would have a clear mind to think straight”, Rakeh responded to Artecus sarcastically while referred to Isis.“Really? You are going to believe her over me? Is that how teamwork works?” Artecus protested to Rakeh“Maybe not. But that is how common sense works. Right behind you, Sorceress”, Sakoh frivolously replied to Artecus as he also climbed his horse.Isis got onto her horse also as they lined up beside each other. According to the sorceress, they must run together and jump to the other end at the same time and quickly sprint off before the rest of the bridge collaps

“Watch your steps, old man; this place doesn't look like the playground you called it”, Tydeus said, breaking the ominous silence in the cave, and his voice echoed.“Oh my gosh! I'm creeping out right now. I feel like vomiting”, Apphathorus replied fearfully“Oh well, you can do that after we make it outside. As you can see this place is really dark and eerie. We are left to find the stones now”, Tydeus said, taking a closer look at the materials on the floor; they looked like dry bones of humans or perhaps animals. “Where could they be now?”“You have the map with you isn't it?” Tydeus cut in“Yeah?”“Then make use of it; where are we supposed to get the stones before something comes at us?” Tydeus asked Apphathorus sharply. “Uhm, This is what it says. We are supposed to…”“Hey watch it! Don't touch anything. Be careful!” Tydeus quickly informed as he saw Apphathorus almost resting on some of the creepy materials near the wall.“Oh, don't worry about me being careful; I mean, I was

CHAPTER 90
The rain had started to drizzle and the breeze blowing ominously, the trees had started to dance like horrible masquerades making the entire atmosphere in the jungle tense and creepy, but it seemed these two risk-takers were already getting used to the nature around these paths but they might just be making their way to the most dreadful part of all. Apphathorus and Tydeus, whilst still leaping with his stick, arrived at a wide spot under a big tree in the forest after a long walk, both of them started to gaze at the surroundings, trying to observe where they had gotten to. “Are we lost? Tydeus asked his voice sharp.“I think that's not the right word to use because we have been lost since we made our way into this jungle. But talking about ‘misplaced’, I think we…” Apphathorus was saying as he took another look at his map to study it again. “Oh no! Now we have to go back, we have been walking in the wrong route!” He said with a tone of disappointment.“Really? Let me see that” Ty

CHAPTER 89
Apphathorus's heart had started to drum in his chest, cold sweat trickling down his old, weak face as he awaited what would come out of the bush in the fog. But from afar, he saw something different; he was expecting to see the form of a monster or another hideous beast. Instead, he saw the form of a human, or maybe it was a monkey. He squinted his eyes to see who or what was coming behind the fog, every movement of his eyes begging it to be a human. He continued to focus his sight on the apparition in his front until he began to scream, “Help! Help!! Is anyone there?! Is anyone…” He halted his noise instantly as he saw what was coming out of the fog clearly. It was like a human being leaping with a walking stick coming in his direction. “Everybody in the forest can't be walking with a stick, except one person. But is it possible?” His thought swirled his brain as he continued to focus his gaze on the person coming his way. “No way!” he mumbled in shock with his eyes widened like

CHAPTER 88
“Aaauurrrrrhhh!” A loud weak yawn broke through the silence. But nothing was seen except the blurry view of two large eyes protruding out of a big green head with horns like… or perhaps antennas shooting out of the green head. But it seems what was seen wasn't much of a threat so… we can ignore it. Not until the creature whatever it was, felt like it was coming closer, closer? From where exactly? We can take another blurry look, but… it's gone, better! Not bad for another yawn of relief and… “aauurrrrrrhhh”*AATTTUUU!!!*Apphathorus let out a loud cough as the grasshopper almost flew into his mouth.*TUEH! TUEH!! TEUH!!!*He spat repeatedly even though the little grasshopper had flown away. “What was that for?! I was sleeping and you flew on my nose? That wasn't enough; I tried to yawn, and then you flew into my mouth till you finally woke me up?!”“Why don't you creatures of this jungle have any sense of humour?” He yelled out disgustedly at the grasshopper, which had flown into t

CHAPTER 87
Gnashing his teeth together and pulling with all his strength, the monster wasn't still moving, not even a bit. Still trying to do the impossible, he remembered how he broke down the gigantic gates of the Iron Fortress, but that was nothing to be compared to a three-headed beast with terrific size.The monster mockingly relaxed its body, waiting to see the magic this little human being is about to perform; perhaps it could get entertained for a while before it finally swallows him. With all his veins protruding from under his skin and his face tightened intensively, Tydeus continued to prove his bravery- or stupidity. He pulled with every last fibre left in his being, but the monster was only moving in his mind. The thoughts of his brothers, Rakeh and Sakoh, flickered through his mind like ghosts, trapped within the cold, unforgiving confines of the King's prison. He could almost hear their silent pleas, yearning for his strength, hoping he would come to their aid.Urshuz, hopeless i

CHAPTER 86
Caught in the tangled webs of his predicaments, Tydeus wrestled with his vague awareness of his surroundings. It was then that an unexpected breeze brushed against his skin, stirring him from his struggles. With a sudden jolt, he twisted around and was startled to discover that he lay precariously at the very edge of a towering cliff. The realization sent shivers down his spine as he crawled closer to the precipice, compelled by a mix of fear and curiosity. Peering over the edge, his breath caught in his throat. Below him lay an abyss of jagged trenches, their depths obscured by shadows. Massive, sharp rocks jutted out at odd angles, resembling the jagged teeth of a Dinosaur lurking beneath the surface. He faced the monster again as it continued to come closer, but he still hadn't gotten any idea. Perhaps the despair in his mind had clouded his thinking so badly. Suddenly, the last words he said on Isis' grave flashed in his mind. “I will kill Nezeron for you, Isis” his head rang li

CHAPTER 85
The three-headed leviathan, which had no iota of pity, rammed into the log all with all its three heads, pushing both Tydeus and a massive log out of its way. And with such a merciless impact, Tydeus was projected into the sky. For a second, he noticed he couldn't breathe.The altitude from where gravity intercepted his projection to the ground level made his heart jerk in his chest. He immediately closed his eyes and covered his face with his elbow before he fell ruthlessly to the ground, landing him many contusions.The three-headed monster, unshaken, writhed all its head of the dust from the log, trying to get sight of its prey again, but it never saw Tydeus. It continued to roar powerfully, shaking the entire jungle but still didn't see its prey anymore. Tydeus lay under the root of a big tree full of thorns; he dragged himself onto the root perfectly to hide from the monster. His eyes fell on his arm which had started to bleed heavily, with bruises all over his body.He sorrowfu

CHAPTER 84
With every one of his muscles vibrating involuntarily, Tydeus's stick dropped from his hands in bewilderment at what was in his front. He let out a deep, sharp gasp as his hands went behind him, looking for what to hold on to.The creature gnarled again with a deep low noise from one of its heads. Yes, one of its heads because Tydeus also had now realized that Apophis was only child's play and the Scorpion, maybe an insect to what he was seeing before him. With its hideous hide, a patchwork of rugged scales like swords protruding out of its body, four magnanimous limbs that looked like mountains each extended with massive claws, the Leviathan's body covered the surroundings like an embodiment of primordial horror and dread.Having its triple commodiously scary heads towering with formidable horns twisted and curled, the colossal beast stretched its monstrous tail filled with rocky spikes that ran up to its vertebra and snarled at the two human prey in front of it.Apophis was actuall

CHAPTER 83
“If you remember, I told you last time in the prison that the Iron Mask captured me because they accused me of stealing a map that contains the road to a treasure from them, do you remember?” Apphathorus asked. “Uhm, yeah, you said it was a treasure hidden in the Forest of Shadows, and if you find it, you can use it to save your people”, Tydeus replied.“Yes, Exactly. And that is what I have come into this jungle to find before I was trapped here”, Apphathorus explained. “Why not? You must really be crazy to come into this cursed forest in search of some treasure. What makes you think you're going to make it out of here alive? Your witchery?”“My science!” Apphathorus quickly countered Tydeus with a strict tone. “Oh, I see. Well good luck to you on your search for your pissant treasure”, Tydeus replied as he started to turn back again. “If you had the opportunity to make one wish and what you wished for no matter what it is, will be granted immediately, would you consider that as
