The Pack (Assassins creed x Reader)

Chapter 12

I jump out of the jeep, closing the door behind me, looking out at the site as people dug through the sand, a semi large structure behind them. It was definitely the bass of a pyramid. I walked around the men, looking around for a man that I've seen in the picture Stella showed me. I waited for the others to climb out of the vehicle, stretching their legs out as I look around some more. 

"I should've brought my sunglasses." I mumble, as I take my hand, putting them over my eyes to block out the sun, allowing me to see just a little better. 

"Ah, Dr. (L/N)!" I hear a voice shout. I look over seeing a man with dark brown hair and beard, light skin, and light brown eyes. He wore similar clothing to mine, except his white shirt seemed to be stained with the sand's color. 

I smile at him, walking up to him, meeting him half way. He held out his hand, "Mathew Young, I'm the one that found this place." He introduced himself. 

"It's nice to meet you Dr. Young." I say with a soft smile, shaking his hand with my own. "Now where is the painting? I would like to see it in person." 

"Of course, come with me." Dr. Young said with a small nod, gesturing for us to follow. "I thought you worked alone Dr. (L/N)?"

"I usually do yes, but I thought having a few trusted people tag along would be a good change of pace." I answered, walking by his side. "Maybe it will actually make this a bit more ... safer." 

"I couldn't help but agree with you. I nearly stumbled onto six traps just entering  into that temple." Dr. Young spoke with a shake of his head. "Luckily the natives were able to warn me in time before anything could happen." 

'Amateur.' I couldn't help but think, rolling my eyes, while looking around as the natives carried up bags of sand before dumping it. "What are they doing?" I ask, gesturing to the natives, watching them move back and forth. 

"Well ... this may sound a little crazy but ... ever since we discovered the pyramid it has been, let's say, been trying to rebury itself." Dr. Young answered, as the wind begin to pick up, pushing sand off the mound causing it to fall against on of the walls of the pyramid. "Sand storms have been more frequent and threatened to bury this pyramid once more." 

Dr. Young led us through the entrance of the pyramid, the temperature dropping as we stepped inside the dark, shaded area. Protected from the sun's heat from above. "Have you immobilized the traps?" I questioned, beginning to look around along the ground, looking for anything suspicious. 

"Yes, well the ones all the way up to the painting that is." Dr. Young answered with a small shrug causing me to nod in approval. He led us through the ruined entrance, statues of what looks to be Bastet and Anubis held up the ceiling. 

"Who are they?" I hear Connor question, gesturing to the woman with a cat head and tail, along with the one with the man with a jackal as its head. 

"That." I gestured to the goddess Bastet. "Is Bastet. She is the goddess of cats, home, domesticity, fertility, woman's secrets, and childbirth. She is usually depicted as a black cat with golden eyes wearing a gold collar and wristbands. Or a woman with a cat head and tail." I then gesture to Anubis, "That is Anubis, he is the god of the dead. He is usually depicted like this, with a head of a jackal. Egyptians of the past usually make statues of him in tombs of pharos in hopes to help the pharos reach the underworld." 

I then look over at Bastet confused, "Although ... I don't know why Bastet is here? I don't think I have ever seen her in a pharos tomb, a statue of her anyway." 

"I found that odd as well." Dr. Young stated, glancing over towards me. "Although, not as odd as this." He stated, walking through another door into a lit up room used by lanterns.
