The three camels and our heroes are outside the city. They stop, briefly.

  Amen's display keeps adding and subtracting points.

  Honor points. Combo points. Style points.

  His health maxes out again.

  Aziza and Ziyad glow before him.

  TWO NPCS.

  What does that mean?

  Ziyad smiles at Aziza.

  "Aziza. It is good to see you."

  "It is NOT nice to see you. I’m here for the treasure," she exclaims.

  "What treasure?"

  "I told you," Amen says, "I have our next steal."

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Amen pulls the glowing scroll and shows it to Ziyad.

  Ziyad looks at it like he can understand it.

  "Looks great. This is. This is. This. I don’t know what the hell this is."

  Aziza explains, "It is the location of the treasure of an outcast Egyptian prince."

  "That's what I thought," Ziyad says. "Where is it?"

  "Cairo," Amen speaks.

  "Fine. Let's get moving. We split three ways, yes?"

  "No," Aziza states.

  "Yes," replies Amen.

  "You guys combine your half considering your romantic past and I'll take the rest," Ziyad offers.

  "Okay," Amen replies.

  "No," Aziza exclaims.

  "We have all the way to Cairo to figure it out. Let’s get back to the river and fairy the rest of the way," Amen says, turning his camel to a march.

  Dimensions and destinations flash across Amen's display. How long it will take, dangers along the way, and Madjay warnings.

  He wishes he could explain it to his cousin and friend, but cannot.

  "Fine. I will take all of it," Ziyad says confidently.

  Aziza and Ziyad fight all the way to the Nile.
