So Anubis plops in the middle of the desert after telling us we need to find some mask that once imprisoned the titans. Half of it Pembroke has and half is hidden in a pyramid.
So when we get there I can see it plain as day but everyone else seems to be effected by illusions meant to keep people away. Thankfully Niko was there to believe in what I saw and back me up. After I went in the others followed and were able to see it. I picked up the scent of other people being here recently and before us so we followed it and found a wall with bricks. Some hieroglyphics told us which to push in and Niko recognized the Greek symbol for mirror. We figured do it in reverse and were right...it swung open. Thant's when Michael realized Sarah was missing and so was Jess. But he knew we needed to press on so we did.
The next room had statues, Celtic Warriors, holding bowls that had fresh blood in them. We figured if we didn't add our blood they'd come to life. After I did three Niko realized a lot of druidic rituals required nakedness. So I stripped down and did the three again before I started to feel very weak from the blood loss. I slumped against the wall and willed it to heal while Niko and Lemming stripped down and finished...not that I will ever complain about seeing my love naked...but when he healed himself he started growing a third arm. I was terrified for him but he said it did not hurt...I only pray we can rid him of it when this is all over.
The next room had a giant frozen in ice with a spear and sword floating before it. But the door to the next room was open so there seemed like nothing to do here and we moved on. The next room was Greek in design and had a lock and key in the center and over the door was 'lock before opening'. So after some sniffing and everyone standing around like a bunch of morons I went and locked the lock...then the cage fell on me and locked me in and started sinking into a room below it. I tried to Shadow Step out but all that did was (thankfully) bring Niko in with me. He tried to get us out and it failed too. We sunk into the room below, which was pitch black.
The cage opened and I sniffed only to find none of them managed to fall for that trap....fuck. Thank the gods for Niko cause I would have been freaking out otherwise. We moved into the next room and found three doors (red, blue, green) and 3 levers (orange, purple, black) and two rings. He suggested we put the rings on muttering about this wasn't how he planned this moment to which I replied this isn't how it went in my mind either. Did I mention recently how I love this man and can't stop fantasizing about marrying him? And then the moment got killed by the rook starting to fall slowly down...after a series of fails involving the levers I got flung across the room into the wall. As my hand slammed against it though the ring hit it and the roof stopped coming down. Niko ran to check on me, I love it when he gets so close to me, and I told him to touch the other wall. He did and it stopped and I could breathe a sigh of relief. He said when we were out of here he wanted to talk to me but I already know what he will ask and I hope he knows that I have already said yes...my heart and soul call to him.
Our next room had a body on a raised dais and upon closer inspection it seemed to be Brom. Niko lept over and pulled her off, but as he did the dais raised and growling came from the corners of the room...they looked like mummified warriors of Anubis. I tried to calm them but either they did not understand me or did not care. I summoned Solar Flare and took ones head off but he just kept coming. Niko drew his sword, Invictus, and slashed one in half but it regenerated the damage. We were fucked...and not it the way we like to be either. Suddenly 'Brom' swiped at me and the bottom half of her face fell off to reveal rotting bone. I pray this isn't really her and a thought occurs to be. I shouted for Niko to get to the platform and as he stood on it they all collapsed and the door opens. When I too stand they got back up so I lept off. I went to the door and stepped through but as soon as Niko stepped off it slammed shut. I was freaking out. It's not like me to do so but I was started to cry and pound on the door yelling for him. What the fuck is wrong with me?
I heard a door behind me open and Michael calling to me asking what happened and coughing. I told him and as I finished the door opened and Niko ran through. I have never felt such relief in all my life. I threw myself at him still crying and did not want to let go. We looked around and there was a set of huge golden doors carved with Egyptian gods and Pharaohs. We told Michael about Brom and Lemming opened the door to a room filled with coffins...
...and Leo. I have never felt such shock, horror, fear, and rage all at once as I did right then. How was he still alive? I killed that mother fucker over a month ago...I have his gods damn ring on my finger?! With his was another scion and a third almost invisible one that Niko seemed to recognize...the last one picked something up out of the open coffin and put it on his face and pointed to us....then I blacked out.
