It has been a few days since I returned to Egypt. The hot sands and dry heat made it unbearable to stay in the desert too long. Fortunately, the Humvee is equipped with an AC unit. No more sweaty mornings and afternoons. According to the memory of those mummified Medjays, Thebes were destroyed but the temple ruins still stand to this day along with the Bracelet of Anubis. The endless desert seems to go on and on as if I was stuck in place, so the journey was a boring one.

I sighed and watched the sand dunes ahead, "I really hope there's some excitement soon. I'm getting itchy for a fight."

I didn't arrive at Thebes until it was nighttime. I had the Shadow Knights and Shadow Medjays keep watch over the night while I set up a simple camp and slept till morning. I woke up and did my usual exercise by sparring with Igris to always be in shape and ready for the battles to come. The morning exercise quickly finished after an hour before I freshened up by pouring water all over my head. I wiped my body and changed to fresh clothes before I walked towards the decrepit temple of Thebes.

As I got inside, traces of old age permeated the whole room as the pillars tumbled to the walls and various mementos from the old era littered the ground

As I got inside, traces of old age permeated the whole room as the pillars tumbled to the walls and various mementos from the old era littered the ground. I summoned the Shadow Knights to keep guard outside while I ordered the Shadow Medjays to lead the way to the vault of the Bracelet of Anubis.

I looked around as desert insects such as scorpions and spiders laid their homes in this abandoned temple and said, "Seems like time will wither away such a sophisticated empire to dust to the point insects will lay claim to it."

Stepping over the insects below, I made my way to the vault door and brushed away the cobwebs obscuring the lock mechanism

Stepping over the insects below, I made my way to the vault door and brushed away the cobwebs obscuring the lock mechanism. I looked at the mechanism and looked through my memories before twisting it and pushing the handle over. The vault door immediately started to open and revealed a path to the Bracelet of Anubis.
