I could see the dark sky and the stars above but it was bright sunlight. I decided to take a walk. I walked for a while and watched the animals. I soon met up with Spike. I did a double take. Spike told me I was dreaming. He said to do a reality check if I didn't believe him. I decided to do a reality check. I tried to levitate and I was able to do it. I realized I was dreaming.
Spike said he had heard that the Great Pyramid of Giza was on our agenda for tonight. I had to stop and think about that for a minute. Spike said Nomad was in the tower with Selene. He said Selene was coming. He said she was feeling better now. I said that was good. We teleported to the control room of the tower. Nomad was there with Selene. He had his arm around her. I wondered if they were just being affectionate or if Selene wasn't feeling well yet. Nomad asked if I was ready to visit the pyramid. I said sure. I focused on Through the Never and on getting to the Great Pyramid of Giza. A portal opened. All four of us went through.
On the other side we were in a vast desert. We were close to a huge pyramid. I looked up at the pyramid. It was dark out and the moon was shining bright enough for me to make out some of the details of the pyramid but not all of them. It was enough to see that the pyramid was amazing. Nomad looked around as if expecting something. I asked what he was looking for. He said he was wondering if someone was going to stop us. I didn't see anyone else in the area. I looked at the pyramid. There was an entrance about a third of the way up the side of the pyramid. I headed for it and the others followed. I flew up to the entrance to the pyramid. The first passage we reached was actually quite small compared to the size of the whole pyramid. I wondered why it was so tiny.
"Hope you're not claustrophobic," I said to the others, looking specifically at Nomad. He said he had already dealt with that. I started descending the passage into the pyramid. I focused on summoning a torch to light our way. It appeared and cast its light ahead of us. We continued down the passage until it entered a larger chamber. Following the walls revealed that there were torches in the wall. I used my torch to light those torches. When they were all burning we could get a good view of the room. There were designs on the walls that looked like Egyptian hieroglyphs. I didn't understand any of it. There were decorative pedestals that were carved in intricate patterns. There were statues positioned at even intervals around the outside of the room. I felt like I was in a game of Tomb Raider. I saw Nomad and Selene looking around one of the statues. Spike came over to me. He asked if it was what I had expected. I said I hadn't known what to expect.
"Raven! Spike!" Nomad called from across the room. I noticed how realistic the echo of his voice sounded. The two of us went over to them. One of the statues had moved to the side and there was a passage revealed. Nomad said Selene had found it. She laughed and said he had helped. Nomad said we had discovered a hidden passage. We had to check it out. I thought this was cool. The four of us descended into the dark passage using my torch for light. Up ahead the torch light seemed to be hitting a solid black wall. That seemed strange. I got closer to the wall and reached out to touch it. It didn't seem solid. And it was ice cold. A voice asked who we were and demanded to know our purpose. I said our purpose was exploration. Nomad said it was discovery. The wall retreated down the passage a bit farther. We continued on our way. We were entering another chamber. I thought I saw a lot of treasure. I was thinking that much treasure must be worth a fortune. I was wishing there was some way to take some small trinket back with me to prove I had been there. I was about to step into the chamber when the voice boomed again.
"Liars!" it boomed. The dark wall pushed us back up the passage and out into the big chamber at the top. It was a black mass now. It was extending out and filling the big chamber. It was clear we had overstayed our welcome. We all headed back up the small passage to the outside of the pyramid. A heavy stone door slid closed behind us with a deafening crash. Nomad looked at me strangely. He said it must be guarding the treasure. And most likely the tomb of an undiscovered Pharaoh. I didn't have a chance to say anything before everything faded to black and I woke.
In the Pyramid
We were in a burial chamber. I only saw Raven, but I felt the presence of the others, as one senses spirit guides. There were jars and mummies of small animals standing on shelves along the wall. A dusty golden coffin was lying on as stone slab. A ghost stood up from the coffin. He looked disoriented, like someone woken from a deep sleep. He looked at us. "Ah, thank you for coming, travelers. Now, you will show me the way to the Afterlife!" he said cheerily.
Raven looked at me, her eyes saying, "What do we do?" I smiled at her calmly.
"I think the path is down here, o king," I said to the ghost, bowing. There was a small hallway behind us. I walked toward it. "Wait," said the ghost. "There is something... Ah, yes, a key. Where is the key?" He fished around for a key in the coffin, then produced a small golden key. "This is the key to the door," he said looking at it fondly. "Now, lead on, travelers."
I walked down the hallway, and it stopped in a dead end. "There has to be some type of transdimensional portal around here," I murmured to myself as I felt the wall.
"Thank you, kind sir, for showing me this door, but kindly step aside, as only I have the key."
"Oh!" I stepped to the side. The ghost king felt the stones, then stuck his key in one about waist high, and turned it. The wall swung open, two stone double doors, and a bright white light poured out.
"Go to the light, o king," I said.
"I know," he said grinning, and went through. Raven looked at me again.
"I am going through. I don't think anything bad will happen. I am so curious." I went into the light. Apparently, so did everyone else.
The Afterlife: Hollow Earth
We were in Hollow Earth. Everything was beautiful, so colorful and bright. Translucent flowers, the size of trees grew all around us. Bright grass thick and bunchy covered the ground. Strange birds, fluttering like butterflies flitted about. A bald dark skinned man appeared wearing an Egytian skirt. "Hello, friends! Look at me! I feel like Ra himself! Follow me, I want to show you something."
He led us to a stream that was waist deep, and about five feet wide. He jumped in and splashed water on his face exuberantly. "This water, oh, it's so pure and good!" He took a deep drink, then splashed us playfully. I went into the water. I felt energy flowing through me. I splashed it on my face, and took a deep drink also. It felt like pure life energy was pouring over me, and filling me.
"I am a fish!" laughed the king, as he turned into a big orange triggerfish, and swam quickly upstream.
"I feel the dream fading, we should go soon," said Raven. I nodded. We returned to the place we had come from, and saw a few white steps leading to a white marble arch in on a grassy slope. There were small yellow flowers planted around the arch. "I think this is the way back," she said.
The Ghost Stream
We went through the arch, and were back in a the burial chamber. There was a line of ghosts as far as we could see, going up into the sky. "Go to the light," said Raven. One looked at her, nodded, and went down the chamber into the light. The next one looked at her. She repeated herself, and it nodded and followed. "This will never do," she said looking at me for answers.
"Let's meditate," I said. We sat down on either side of the hall to leading to the door to the Hollow Earth and meditated. We spoke to all the ghosts at once telepathically. "Go to the light."
The ghosts traveled quickly, and became a tube of glowing white light with little pastel glowing balls moving through it. The end of the tube appeared like the tapered tail of a snake, then disappeared through the door with a whoosh. The doors closed, and all was silent.
Raven and I inhaled. She turned to me. "I feel myself waking up," she said disappointedly.
"That's okay, just write everything down, dear." She smiled at me, nodded, then winked out of site.
