Prologue
Jerome shot the hacky sack flying through the air. It went soaring over Alfie and out of their dorm room into the hallway.
"Ugh! Nice going mate, we could have set a record or something." Alfie moaned as he dashed into the hallway to retrieve the hacky sack. His eyes moved along the hallway, trying to spot the ball. His eyes didn't stop on the ball though, they landed on the mummy's sarcophagus that was faintly glowing green. "Oh Jerome... can you come out here for a second..." He called to his friend as he walked closer to the intense light. Jerome popped out of their room and walked over to Alfie, not noticing the light.
"What's the matter mate, can't even find a simple ball by yourself?" he joked lightly. He opened his eyes and they widened at the sight in front of him. "Uh what's that?" he asked as he pointed to the light.
"I'm not sure; it was like that when I came out." Alfie murmured his reply as he stared intently at the tomb. When Jerome had walked into the room its color had shifted into more of a reddish color. Both of the boys kept their eyes trained on the lit mummy. Afraid it would go away if they looked away they kept on staring, studying it, watching the light bounce off of the chandelier and mirrors around them.
A door creaked open and both Mick and Fabian emerged from their room, wondering why the loud sounds from Jerome and Alfie had suddenly become non-existent. Both of them glanced at the silent pranksters before being flabbergasted by the glowing mummy's sarcophagus. Although they didn't know it had been a different color before it was now flashing between red, green, gray, and brown.
"What is that?" Mick asked as he walked closer to the tomb then Alfie and Jerome had even thought about. Fabian inspected it from afar and knew that this was something Nina would need to know about. Oh, and Sibuna too.
"I'll go get Nina!" He called as he ran towards the stairs. Mick called after him
"Get all of the girls!" Mick looked over the light once again, for some reason it was now only changing colors between red, green, and brown. He turned around to face Alfie and Jerome, inspecting their faces for traces of…something…anything really. At first he thought this could be all just a really elaborate prank that they had created to freak out the housemates; but when he saw the intrigued and confused looks plastered across their faces he knew that wasn't the case. "How long has this been eh, glowing?" he probed them for answers.
"For the entire ten minutes we've been out here." Jerome answered stoically as he kept looking at the light. Mick pondered this for a moment before turning back to light. It was truly fascinating. The lights memorized him, made him feel powerful. The brown color especially made him feel…differently. As if it was supposed to do something for him. Although he and the color brown had never had a special connection before it felt now as if the brown light was a part of him. And it freaked him out.
Loud thumps came from the stairs and Mick broke his gaze on the light. Fabian ran down the stairs as Nina gripped his arm. Mara, Amber, and Patricia followed after them. The light began to flash with more colors. Purple, white, pink, and blue were now infused with the gray, green, red, and brown. Its colors became brighter as everyone else approached it.
"Ohhh it's pink!" Amber squealed as she approached it the glowing mummy. She felt a warmth with the pink light, it made her giddy and it made her feel as if it meant something to her. As if it was telling her that something was going to go right but then go wrong.
Mara let the white light take over her mind, let it tell her something. Not only was the light telling her something, it was warningher of something. Telling her that something monuments was on its way.
Fabian found the gray light calming yet empowering. It was if the cool color was putting him in charge, in charge of what he didn't know but it was nice to be in charge. Even if it was in charge of something he had no idea about.
Patricia was leery of the light, she felt odd. Almost as if the light had once been amazing but was becoming increasingly weak and less powerful. Something was right and yet at the same time something was right. She wasn't sure which one was stronger but she felt that she was about to find out.
Nina hung back and stared at the light with Patricia and Mara by her side. Her eyes looked at it, followed the light back to its source inside of the coffin. She could feel her necklace start to become warmer. She plucked it from underneath her shirt and found that she had been right; the necklace had started to glow but it wasn't how it usually glowed. Instead of solely glowing red it was now also illuminating with tiny rays of purple. The same lavender shaded purple that was also glowing from the coffin. Suddenly she was attracted to the sarcophagus with an otherworldly force. Nina pushed past her housemates as they started at her as if she were crazy.
"Nina, what are you doing?" Fabian asked as he reached for his girlfriend's arm. She walked past him in a trance like state as she neared the sarcophagus. With a touch from her fingers and necklace the tomb was gone only leaving the light.
The Anubis members gasped at the swirling colored lights. The lights wrapped around them pulling into a world unknown to them, yet, it was a world that would soon become like a home to them. A mysterious home in which they would have to save, a world known only as The Land of The Gods.
AN/ Well…here's my new AU story. This isn't really the first chapter just more of a prologue, the actual first chapter is over 3,000 words so yep! This is pretty different then what I usually write; it's going to be based off of Roman/ Greek/ myths and folklore. Romance will be heavily infused in the later chapters. Like super heavy. Like basically chapters worth of it. Yeah anyway please review and tell me what you think! Thanks!
