thing that the diamond knows not...'

'Let them be... They are trying to test the strength of your mind. Apparently, your friend Jacque is searching for holes in your mind that he might use up to his advantage...' the Voice told me.

'Well, I see you've got the answer to your question, Jacque.' I spoke in a calm tone.

The others stared at my calm expression. Suddenly, Jack's eyes widened as he whispered something over to Rose. I could see Rose's mind too clearly. I froze. She was thinking of blood on my clothes.

Crap! I didn't notice that a drop of blood had gotten on my shirt. I closed my eyes and reopened them for no simple reason. They were looking at me and discussed something, but I chose to ignore it.

'Don't make me say it again, why do we have to go to Egypt?' Jacque broke the awkward silence.

And, he asked in an annoyed way because he wasn't content about getting the answers straight form my head. I decided to keep it as simple as possible, and that meant I wasn't going to tell them everything I know.

'Let me put it this way. The diamond told me that we have to travel to the Sacred Lands of Gods -

'And, where is that?' Rose interrupted me.

'Allow me to finish first. Before we go there, we must make our way to the Land of Sands. That's Egypt, FYI. It tells of an ancient Queen that dwells within her asylum, trapped and longing for freedom. She guards a mystic power, the twin of the diamond, the Pearl of Eternal Light. The two items are to be brought to the Sacred Land of Gods for the final decision...'

'If we are going on this together, we're going to have to make some truce. Or we'll keep backstabbing each other,' Rose hissed, unexpectedly.

I shook hands with Jack and agreed. Then, it was their turn to explain. Jack was the one to explain. Their mission was simple, to destroy their enemy known as the Waeroherias, or in English as the Werewolves.

They also told me of an ancient curse about a war before the First Holocaust. Before I forget, let me explain a little about it. It is like the End of the World, only a little more complex.

There are three. I know you must be thinking that's impossible, but it's true. The World will end three times, and each time in a different way. According to Jack, our mission was to destroy the werewolves whom are believed to lead a war against vampires.

To destroy the werewolves, would mean eliminating the cause of the War that might lead to End of the World... So, I guessed there might not actually be any harm in helping this trio.

But no way was I going to make it a four man job. Actually three man job and one woman.

'But how are we going to make it to Egypt. Even with our speed, it'll take us at least two days,' Rose sighed and added. 'The Forces of the Land of Sands will surely slow us from afar,'

'Not if we appear straightaway in the centre of the desert,' I voiced out.

'How?'

'Don't question my intelligence,' I hissed.

I told them to gather around and explained my instructions. I covered their senses with my Field – Shield. I had to make sure they didn't find out about Table Mountain, which is actually the Sacred Lands of the Gods.

We whizzed through the air and I could sense Table Mountain close by. I had to try to control The Twist and suspend all of us within. That way they wouldn't know that this was the Sacred Lands of Gods.

The Voice had told me that the secret should not be revealed to anyone. I was planning to keep it. I could see The Twist up above. I released all my powers with a single command.

I saw them flying through the air in the form of different coloured orbs. They vanished into the mass of thick fog. For a moment, nothing happened. Next, the mist seemed to shift and twist itself around us.

I controlled it to lift us to the top of the mountain. It lifted us but didn't vanish altogether. It revolved around us. So, I figured that it was safe for me to release my Field – Shield over their senses.

'Now, we will teleport from here to Egypt, past the Forces of the Land of Sands. I will teleport all of us to there. I will need your cooperation to think of the destination,' I spoke.

'You are a very interesting newborn. So much power flows within you. That's a sure sign that you are ultimately favoured by the End Gods,' Jack muttered.

I closed my eyes and released the Field – Shield. We gripped our hands tightly as something silver - blue, like a transparent cage appeared around us. So, this was a full scale Field – Shield of mine.

I closed my eyes and focused for a place in Egypt. The first thought that came was the Sphinx but then, it was a too popular tourist destination. The Nile wasn't too popular, although it was the longest river in the world.

I thought of the River Nile, and told the others to do the same. The Twist snaked thicker and thicker around us. All of a sudden, we were lifted into the air. The wind rushed around us and then, water was lapping at our feet.

No... No... A pyramid. And we vanished again, and reappeared on top of a pyramid. Excitement seized me and I lost
