This is the end! Or at least it is when it comes to this story. There are still at least two others in the works right now. One is a main sequel to this one based somewhat around The Mummy Returns, except someone else will be returning in that story instead of Imhotep (feel free to guess!).

The other story being planned is one that will probably interest everyone who wanted to know more about Candace. My co-creator, IFoundHopeInYourHateForMe, and me actually planned out a detailed background story for her. None of it was able to work itself into the story as easily as I planned, however. So I plan on actually writing out her story so everyone can know how she became the strong Medjai woman she is in this story!

The group was watching what had what had once been Hamunaptra sink bellow the sand when a hand suddenly came down on Candace's shoulder. She whirled around, blade at the ready, only to glare at her grinning her husband.

"You horrible man!" she yelled. "You made me think that you were dead!" Then she tossed her sword onto the ground, climbing up the camel on which he was sitting so that she could kiss him senseless.

Ardeth chuckled between each kiss that he was given. "I thought that I was suppose to be getting my ass kicked," he said.

"Later," Candace said. "Right now you should be glad that I'm too happy to want to do it."

"Oh, I am happy," Ardeth assured her. "Very happy." He turned towards the others who were watching them. "You've earned the respect and gratitude of me and my people."

Candace nudged him with her elbow. "What he means to say is that you have our friendship." She inclined her head towards all of them. "May Allah smile upon you always." She wagged her finger in the direction of Imhotep, turning her words back to ancient Egypt. "And you listen to everything your wife tells you."

"Wife?" Evy exclaimed.

"Oh, no," Jonathan groaned. "Please tell me you didn't do some ancient marriage nonsense."

"No, of course not!" Tessa said. "But Candace is already married and she's nineteen…"

Ardeth rolled his eyes towards the heavens. "You are being a bad influence, my love," he said.

"Oh, shush," Candace said. "I am reuniting true lovers, how is that bad?"

"Um, maybe just convince her to wait a few years, okay?" Rick suggested.

"Alright then," Candace said. "Although she was sixteen years old when she was given to my father in her past life."

Tessa wrinkled her nose as the others stared at the Medjai woman in astonishment. "Ugh, Candace, did you really have to go there?"

"Of course!" Candace chuckled.

"Goodbye, my friends," Ardeth said. "I am certain we will meet again." Then he directed his camel off towards the way that would lead to the home that they knew.

"Well, I guess we go home empty-handed…again," Jonathan said.

"I wouldn't say that," Rick said.

Evy looked up to see what he meant to find him staring right back at her.

"Oh, please!" Jonathan groaned. He shook his head as his youngest sister only squealed with delight as her sister and Rick began to kiss, making the priest chuckle next to her. He threw his hands up into the air, however, as he realized that Tessa had decided to kiss her lover as well. "I thought I said not… Oh, go at it then!" He turned towards the camel, tugging on its reigns. "How 'bout you, darling? Would you like a little kissy-wissy?"

The group settled onto the camels eventually, not even noticing the treasure each animal was carrying. They were too wrapped in the romances that they had found and the futures that could be built with the aid of them.
