Story::
I looked up at the stars above me. The small little pin points twinkled above me. I gazed at the sand at my feet. The soft, white-and-yellow grains speckled everywhere, sifting around my paws as they sunk into the ground every time I took a step. My journey was close to its end. I could see the small pyramid starting to push its way through the waves of sand that had previously obscured it from my view. This was just what I was looking for. As I got closer, I could see ther opening in the front of it. I stepped inside of it, and there met faces with a statue. It was an Anubis statue. The human body with a canine head that I had only read about in stories. I walked around the creature, who seemed to have its eyes on me the entire time.
That was when I found what I was looking for. I lot a torch on the wall so that I could see the wonderful beauty of this. This pyramid held something that was truly amazing. I had heard so many stories about this. The city of marble. Marble of all colors, all shades, all different. I saw everything from towers to small adobe houses. From huge museums to small town libraries. It had such... Detail! it was truly amazing! I pulled my camera from my pack which I had been using on this day, long trek through Egypt, and snapped a few pictures for my personal album.
On my way out, I heard a weird noise. Like... Like stone, rubbing together. I turned stools slowly, and the Anubis had craned his head to look upon me. His eyes glowed as if they were... They were made of pure diamond!
"Hello" he spoke in a voice that was old and rough, very deep. "You, Cleo, Named after the queen Cleopatra, for displaying kindness to the roots of your culture, respect to your history, I bestow upon you this: the scarab of the marble temple. It will bring you good luck, love, and prosperity for years and years to come." He reached his hand down, a beautiful green-and-white marble beetle, a wonderful sign among any from Egypt, about the size of my eye, in his hand.
"what did I do?" I asked him.
"the marble in this temple is worth billions, its historical significance multiplying it by many. Any other would take the money and run, but you, you only took photographs. All of ancient egypt sincerely thanks you for your considerance of the beauty in things, not just its worth. I must warn you, though. If you show or tell anyone about where this temple is, bad luck will be ensured untill your last breath." He warned.
I nodded my head, "i an eternally greatful for this... This beautiful gift, my friend. Thank you"
He simply nodded, then moves so he was back in the position he was before, freezing as water did when the temperature was dropped suddenly.
I practically ran home, through the cold night air that fell over the sandy dunes of the desert. The pyramid disappears from view, and I kept going until I got home. I fixed the scarab onto a goldon thick necklace that used to have an emerald in it. I liked it better with the scarab anyways :3
