THE MUMMY

Destiny's Final Gamble

By Jennifer Wells

"3,000 years ago

In a place called the City of the Dead,

He was buried

Deep beneath the desert sands…

Entombed. Alive.

Never to be disturbed.

He will rise again."


Prologue

"A New Chapter"

Temple of Heqet

Gesy, Egypt

1933

The moonlight glistened down upon the pools of an ancient temple hidden deep within the lands of Upper Egypt. The waters sparkled with a life almost of their very own in the cool summer's night. The temple itself was alone and forgotten. Scorpions scurried about the Earth in search of a midnight snack before the sun's rays would return for a new day's light. They formed tiny footprints in the desert's sands, as they crawled about in their ever-repeating nightly activities.

A figure moved swiftly through the shadows with a grace unlike any human could ever possess. It crept closer to the center of the temple, stealthily and without a sound. Above, a skylight let loose a ray of moonlight, shining down upon a lone human-sized statue, which stood before a single pool in the center of the room like a beacon. The statue was made of granite; the head was that of a frog, and the body of a woman. It was slightly eroded from the harsh centuries that had passed, but otherwise it was maintaining itself quite well.

The mysterious figure stopped before this statue, remaining just barely out of the light and began to speak in an ancient tongue…

"Heqet, Goddess of the Temple of Gesy, we must speak."

The mysterious figure stood by in silence, waiting for its response. Above, the light began dim. A cool wind swirled about inside the temple. The scorpions quickly scurried away in all directions in a panic to conceal themselves. And then, a new figure stepped out from behind the statue, and approached the first. The two remained hidden in the shadows, lingering in the dark.

"Meskhenet?" asked the second in much surprise quite audibly. "What brings you out this way, and at this hour? It has been ages since last we spoke-"

Meskhenet quickly brought a finger to her lips, signaling the other to lower her voice. Meskhenet's voice was grave and urgent as she spoke,

"Heqet, I will answer all your questions in turn, but first, I have a favor to ask of you and it is of the utmost importance that I have your complete and total cooperation…and above all, Osiris must never know."

Heqet's eyes became wide at this, their whites catching what little light of the moon still shown through from above. She hesitated a moment or two as she pondered what her friend could possibly mean by this. A slight grin sliced across her face and she leaned in closer, giving Meskhenet her full and undivided attention.

"My lips are sealed."

"Dai yu." "Good."
