A Shocking Discovery
A Shocking Discovery
Beads of perspiration trickled down his face. The intense heat of Egypt would have made him turn down the decision, had he not thought about how important is was to find the tomb of a ruler, which was said to have ruled the whole of Egypt before any other king, Professor Scuffing wiped the sweat off his face with his hand and stabbed the shovel into the ground and continued digging. Then, 13 year old girl walked out of the tentment nearby carrying a glassful of water. As she walked towards Professor Scuffing, her golden hair danced in the air gracefully. She handed the Professor the glass of water with a smile famous towards her father, the professor himself.
“Ah, thanks you very much Alexi,” the professor took a huge gulp of water, “I hope the heat here does not bother you too much my darling,” he continued. Suddenly, a worker ran towards the professor and Alexi and in between gasps, he said, “ The….The tomb…..I think we found it.” Upon hearing those words, the professors eyes lit up and he and Alexi followed the worker as he ran towards the site of the discovery. Alexi and her father elboured their way through the crowd of workers where the worker had brought them only to find part of a hand-curved stone block on the floor. The professor examined the stone and stood up, faced the crowd and said “This is it! This is the tomb!”
Excitement filled the air as the workers frantically dug their way through the ground to expose the entrance. After what felt like an eternity, the entrance was finally revealed. However, the entrance was too small for anyone to enter. As the professor and the workers brainstormed on how to enter the tomb, one came up with an idea of getting Alexi to enter the tomb and before she knew it, all eyes were on her. She sighed and said “ Okay, okay!” She grabbed a torch light and squeezed herself into the entrance, She walked down a narrow tunnel and found herself face to face with a tunnel fork. However, she noticed one of the tunnels to be decorated with gold. It was obvious to here that that was the route.
Alexi found herself in a hallway and at the end was a magnificently decorated sarcofagus. Behind it were heaps and piles of jewelry and gems. However, she suspected that the place was booby-trapped . No one would let anyone take away their treasure from them so easily. She picked up a stone on the floor and threw it across the room. Darts flew all across the room. Not good. She thought no othe way than to run across the room, dodging the darts. She tookd a deep breath and sprinted across the room, hearing the darts whiz behind her and finally, she made it alive. A loud boom echoed above her and light shone into the room. Alexi looked up only to see her father and the workers peering down. “How did you know I was here?” Alexi questioned her father. “Simple, you watch acan be tracked, anyway, let’s get you out of there,” he replied and threw a rope down.
New of their discovery spread like wild fire across the world and at the party held in the museum of Egypt, where the discovery was brought to, they were more than just celebraties. “ Wow, I guess this is what it’s like to be a celebraty!” Alexi said. Professor Scuffing took a sip of champagne and said. “ I guess so.”

The Flag
The Flag
The siege was ready. Archers took their places behind the swords, men, creating the troops invulnerable to both ranged and melee attacks. I sat on my horse in full steel armour, one hand carrying the flag of our country, the other carrying the royal ruby-encrusted sword that made its way into my hands through the passings of many generations. Laddenmen, who would help create entry into the enemy’s castles walls, stood next to my army. Their faces were filled with fear and worry. These men were not trained to fight, however, they would give us the upper hand in conquering the city. Taking one last look at our flag, I raised it up high into the sky lefting it soar in the winds of Britain and in one lung-full, I shouted the signal everyone had been waiting for,”Charge!”.
My men and I charged over a small hill to find the enemy’s castle being protected by their own troops. No matter how many men stood in our way, we would sldy them all. I rushed through the enemy’s army, slashing at the sides of my horse taking down a few of their men. However, I ran out of luck. An arrow whizzed through the air and stabbed into the chest of my horse, My horse jumped up and stood on its hind legs, neighing in pain. I lost my balance and fell back onto the muddy ground. As I tried to get back to my feet, I spotted one of the enemy’s men lunging towards me with his sword. I did a parry and got up before he could do anything. A series of parries and lunges happened between the duel but a riposte sent my sword straight into his chest, ending his life. This was it, first blood, now the siege had begun and I was sure we would win…….
