Rakeh and his crew, Sakoh, Artecus and Isis, arrived at the Valley but from the back, where the Cytorex made their camps which were far away from the battlefront.There were lots of tents in the small piece of land where they made their camps. The atmosphere at the back of the Valley was so silent that one could hardly know a fierce battle was happening at the front.Behind the Valley of Bones is a thick bush which is near a river that connects to another road leading into the next City after Giza.The Cytorex must have done their calculations well to come and camp in the Valley; they would have perfectly launched a smooth attack against Giza if the King and his army hadn't come for them.Rakeh and his crew stealthily came down from their horses; the idea is that they shouldn't be noticed until they get the boy, the young prince, out of there.But while they were planning, Tydeus proposed that the back of the Valley would be heavily secured since the Cytorex would be having their host
“Uuuuuhmm, did… Did I just say something wrong?” Sakoh asked Isis raising an eyebrow as he noticed the way she was gazing at him. “Maybe you just underestimated our Sorceress”, Rakeh responded sarcastically.“Or probably he said it the way she didn't like…”“So it should be safe to ask… Uhhmm, Sorceress, can you fight?” Artecus asked playfully.Isis smirked turning her face to the guys; it seemed they had no idea what she was capable of. She immediately jumped out of the bush boldly, pulled out a small knife from her pocket and threw it accurately stabbing one of the Cytorex soldier's neck.*WOOOSH!!!*The gruesome sound got the attention of the other three soldiers guarding the tent. They instantly turned to the direction where the knife came from and saw Isis. But before they could drop an inch, Rakeh immediately threw his axe, Sakoh quickly shot, and Artecus also threw the dagger he was given, all three projectiles driving into the body of the remaining guards, killing them on t
“Oh-oh!” Artecus exclaimed out of nowhere. The four of them vibrated in their steps suddenly.Four hefty Cytorex soldiers appeared in their front; probably, they were coming from the battlefield to fetch more ammunition or something.Isis's heart had started to pound in her chest like a drum, each beat louder than the last. Not now that they have the boy and they are closer to escaping.Sakoh and the other guys began quivering in their steps as they started gearing backwards slowly. The Cytorex soldiers had their swords pointing directly at each one of them, the Cytorex could easily attack them if they tried anything stupid.Rakeh slowly began to use his hands to navigate his axe, but Artecus immediately held his hand, signalling to him to stop.“And where do you think you are going with the boy?” One of the Cytorex in front with big beards asked them daringly. “Oooh that? You scared us, come on!” Artecus humorously exclaimed as he started walking closer towards the Soldiers. “We ju
It all happened around 400 BC. Somewhere on the coast of the River Nile, Cairo in Egypt, Tydeus, his two hands cuffed with heavy chains connected by a long chain cuffing his two legs, was dragged like an ordinary ram by one of the Iron Mask pirates.“Move you rascal!” He yelled at him as he pushed other captives who were lined up at the front.Tonight seems to be the luckiest night for the Iron Mask pirates. This time they caught lots of captives, lined them up and connected them with one long chain, marching them into their big ship.The Iron Mask pirates are one of the most notorious criminal organizations in all of Cairo and other big cities in Egypt.Recognized by their black and ugly metal masks, they're mostly responsible for every kidnapping, destruction, chaos, and violence in the cities of Egypt.Tydeus, one of their long-time targets, has just been caught; this is someone who has always attacked them and ruined their ruthless operations countless times. All the prisoners k
“Boss! Boss!! Boss!!!”“What is it Gryza?” Galdashkeh responded to his pirates’ captain as he adjusted his native wine which was almost pouring from the table.“Boss Galdashkeh, we have just received a message from the Fortress; they are clear to receive us; the reinforcements have also arrived there”,“We can take the ship there now to draft further operations”, Gryza reported to his boss, spreading a small letter and a big map on the table.“Oh well, it seems tonight just keeps getting better and better. We could arrange all the merchandise and prepare them for sale as early as possible” Galdashkeh said, wearing a confident smile on his face as he poured some of his native wine out of the jar into a bowl.“The merchandise? I thought we had agreed to sell it to our clients over the Mediterranean Sea; they have made payments already,” Gryza interrupted.“Oh I forgot, then we can just pick up the other merchandise and prepare them for sale to other clients. You know we need money to bu
*BANG!!!!*The door of the prison in the ship was pushed open.“Move out! Move!! Move!!!”The Iron Masks pirates began bringing their captives out of the prison as they yelled at them like worthless slaves.They have arrived at the Iron Fortress, a big tower situated somewhere in the middle of the water. This is the main hideout of the Iron Mask pirates and here, all their members are present. It seems the night just continues to favour the Iron Mask.Walk faster! Faster!! Faster!!!The pirates continued yelling at their captives as they marched them from the ship to the Fortress.Gryza, the captain of the Iron Mask pirates, walks towards the main door of the Fortress, resting his back on the gigantic gate of the main entrance. He began saying to the captives as they dragged themselves into the Fortress,“The Iron Fortress will be your final stop. Only a strong ship can sail around this area and survive”“The Iron Mask ship is the only ship allowed within sight of this island, any oth
“Take it easy, old man, I get angry easily”, Tydeus responded to the man, his face squeezed like he just tasted an unripe lemon.“I am sorry, I don't just like it when people call me a wizard. I know nothing about witchery. I am just an ordinary scientist.” Apphathorus the old man said, wearing a look of apology on his face.“Oh well, that is your problem,” Tydeus responded.Apphathorus began wondering, “Out of all the people locked up in this cell, why has this man, the one who has been getting everybody's attention so far, come any close to me, let alone having a conversation with me?”Out of curiosity, he asked Tydeus “What exactly have you come here to do?”“To do something unusual”, Tydeus said as he rested his back properly against the wall where they were sitting.“Something unusual? Have you come here to kill me?” Apphathorus asked, his face covered in fear.“Maybe yes,” Tydeus responded jestingly.“Huh?! Please, I beg you in the name of all the gods. I don't have anything on
“What?” Tydeus asked the old man. Apphathorus, with fear written all over his face, asked Tydeus, “Is it true that you killed Apophis, the great beast of the dark world with…”“With my bare hands. Yes, I like it sounding that way?” Tydeus intercepted Apphathorus.“No way!” Apphathorus exclaimed gently.“So how were the Iron Mask able to capture you? If you could kill such a gigantic creature like Apophis, how in the world would it be difficult for you not to save yourself from ordinary pirates?” Apphathorus asked curiously again.“Capture me? Who said they captured me?” Tydeus said, almost laughing.“So how did you get here? How is it that you are here now?” Apphathorus asked fastidiously.“To do something unusual as I have said before. I came here to complete my job”. Tydeus replied confidently.“Job?? What job? Who comes into a prison to complete a job? That sounds like madness.” Apphathorus replied to Tydeus, his face covered in confusion.Tydeus looked at him and smiled again.“W
