Chapter 15:

Cultural Crossroads

Eve was in the prime of her teenage years. Being charged full of emotions, hormones, estrogen and not to exclude- Magical essence. She never felt so alive. After Gerhard in Austria, Eve found and had guided three new witches into the Wiccan fold. All of which have settled into Magic school. Gerhard eventually came over to America to which he was met by Chelsea who was accepted as his Whitelighter and he was orbed to San Francisco. Eve and Kalen spent a day out and about trying to find an apartment to accomodate the Austrian witch for his life in the Mortal realm. They, after a day-long search, found an apartment in Bayside Village which wasn't a long way from their apartment or the Halliwell Manor.

Eve sat back in her chair. She was happy that she was now on vacation from school, she had more time to do what she loved. Most kids went to the beach or leave the state for vacation, Eve preferred to stay and practise her magic and get to grips with her limits. It had been a full four days since they had gotten their last hit on a witch, Eve wasn't too concerned but she found it strange. Eve decided to broaden her horizons and opened a map of each habitable continent. The scrying crystal span in circles for a good five minutes before a reading came up.

"So Eve, how are you doing? I hear you've been keeping real busy these past few days" said Sadie Carusa, an Italian/American witch.

"Yeah, Sadie. I'm good, it's something I love, so I'm not really working, just keeping my interests occupied. There is so much to discover... so much to witness. And I want to help discover and witness it." Eve replied and smiled to Sadie and then to herself.

"What you are doing though... you are a credit" Sadie said and patted Eve on the back before she grabbed a book and jogged out the door.

The crystal landed. One place Eve had never been, but had heard so much about in terms of magical history and essence. Egypt. Eve would knew she would need to be careful in a place like Egypt. So many creatures and different beings exist there. She would need more than a few comrades.

Samantha, Reese, Nathan and Tarren were all available to go along to Egypt, as well as Sadie who offered to go too.

"Reese will beam us to here- The Theban Hills, also known as, the Valley of the Kings. We will not be looking for the Witch here. But we find something. It is a sacred place of powerful magic, that only mortals have discovered at least 12% of the actual Valley. What if we could discover more?" Eve said and ran her fingers along pictures of burial tombs from a book.

"I suppose it is worth a look. But we better be prepared. The only Egyptian I know of is Jeric, the Demon" Tarren said and everyone nodded. The rushed around and gathered viles of potions.

"You are right, Tarren, which is why I need you guys to be focused" Eve said and gave them all a nod of encourage ment "Alright Reese, get us out there" Eve said and everyone linked hands. In a blinding pink light, Reese orbed them out to the middle of a burial site with entrance's everywhere.

"Where do we start?" Samantha said, took out her knife and began to cut the legs off her pants and turned them to shorts.

"Uh. Let's go for a look, I guess. This one over here" Reese said and walked towards on the entrances on his left.

In the doorway was a sign that read "''Burial Site KV47- Siptah". ''The five witches wandered into the vast burial tomb of the Pharoh, Siptah. The entrance became smaller, the cavern became darker but thankfully, Eve conjured a flaming torch which illuminated the way. About a mile into the cavern, a growl was heard echoing through the cavern, stopping the five witches in their tracks.
