Jonathan was in a corner vomiting his stomach out into the sand. Meanwhile, Evilyn looked excited.
"Did we just fly in the sky? Without an airplane or anything else? Flying like a free bird?"
Rick held his gun tightly as he nodded his head. He tried really hard to keep his composure as he muttered: "First there was mummy, then wizards, and now flying in the sky. What happened to the world?"
"We need to hurry. It won't be long before Imhotep killed the remaining Americans and learned of Evilyn's disappearance and try to catch up to us. We need to find the Book of Amun-Ra as soon as possible.
"Do you have a map of the tomb?"
"Yes," replied Snape as he waved his hand to display a map.
"The book should be under Horus' Status."
Immediately, Snape led the group to the location of the status.
"How do you know the location of the book?" asked Evelyn. She had to use a lot of effort to deduce the location yet the mysterious person that just showed up seemed to know everything.
"I just do," replied Edward calmly. Soon, the group reached the foot of Horus' status. With their wand, they were able to pry open the compartment where they found a golden book.
Edward took the book and looked at it with interest. Snape, Lily, and Hermione were also immediately interested.
"We need the key to open it, and Imhotep has it in his hand," said Evy.
"No need," replied Edward. He used his wand to take measures of the dimension of the keyhole on the book, then waved his hand at the sand on the floor. He used transfiguration to turn the sand into a key with the exact dimensions of the key holder.
Placing this newly created key on the book and twisted, the book opened.
"We should have tried to see if the Alohomora would have worked on the book," suggested Lily.
"We can still do that later."
"Okay, magic is convenient," commented Jonathan on the side.
"Have you felt it?" asked Edward.
"Yes," nodded the three of them.
"Felt what?" asked Evy.
"The book itself contained power," replied Lily.
"What does that mean?"
"Magic is itself does not completely escape the Law of Conservation of Energy; to cast a spell of any kind, a power source or energy is required. So, ordinary people cannot use magic.
"However, this book contained energy itself and can be used as a tole to cast spells. So, anyone that has it in their hands and read the incantations can use spells."
Evy nodded her head as this explained how she was able to revive Imhotep after reading the incantations in the Book of the Dead. Suddenly, she noticed that they were engrossed in reading the book.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Do all four of you understand ancient Egyptians?"
Unfortunately, the four of them were too engrossed to even hear her. A few minutes later, they were done.
"Interesting," muttered Edward. This book contained countless spells or curses to take away a person's life. Although the book is referred to as the Book of the Living, it only contains how to take away mortal lives.
"That means that the Book of the Dead contained many spells on how to save and resurrect people," said Edward as his eyes flashed with desire. With these two books, he knew that he will have a great understanding of death magic, healing magic, and the soul.
"Alright, let's prepare for Imhotep's arrival."
"What are we going to do with him? Sent him to the underworld?" asked Snape.
"Don't say something stupid," replied Lily. "With the Golden Book, we can weaken and capture him, then study his body to unravel the secret of the dead from him."
"Lily's right, he's the perfect experimental material," replied Edward.
"That's dangerous, we should just use the book to send him back to the underworld," said Evilyn.
"I'm with her on this, this thing is too dangerous; if we can deal with it permanently, then it's best," said O'Connell.
"Don't worry, as long as we get the Book of Death from Imhotep, then he will not be a problem."
"I don't think so," as Rick raised his gun and pointed at the group, "I know you guys are powerful and can use my magic and all, but I cannot allow you to risk the life of the entire world for your selfish gain."
Edward looked at him in the eyes, and O'Connell suddenly felt dizzy; he wanted to pull the trigger but he felt weak and fell to the ground.
"Rick!" yelled Evy as she ran to his side to check if he was alright. Edward snapped his finger and she and her brother passed out on the floor.
"What do we do with them now?" asked Snape. "It would be a shame to kill the girl since her soul seems special."
"There is no need to kill them," said Hermione.
"She's right," replied Edward. "Plus, this girl is the reincarnation of an Egyptian princess. Both her and O'Connell have involvement with the gods of this world, so it's best to not harm them until our strength is restored."
"This world has gods?" asked Lily. Everyone was a little surprised by this news. Then, Edward explained to them the "future" he saw and his theory regarding Anubis and Osiris.
"In that case, we need to be more serious when doing things," said Snape with a serious look on his face.
"Let's go and deal with the Mummy."
A few hours later, Imhotep appeared in the main chamber of the tomb where he saw the four of them waiting for him.
"It's all of you, the users of Forbidden Sorcery," said Imhotep in ancient Egyptian.
"Forbidden Sorcery? What is that?" asked Edward back in perfect ancient Egyptian, an act which slightly surprised the Mummy.
"You're using it and yet asking me about it."
"Honestly, we were just lucky to discover a book with knowledge about what you called Forbidden Sorcery, and after years of studying, we managed to accomplish something. How about you tell us a little more about it," said Edward.
However, Imhotep did not respond and said a few words, then four tall mummies with shields and spears appeared in front of him, waiting for his command.
"How about a deal?" said Edward as he waved his hand and Evilyn appeared in front of him.
"You tell us about Forbidden Sorcery and I will hand the girl over to you. Finally, you can reunite with your beloved Anck-Su-Namun."
Imhotep looked at Evelyn on the floor before looking at the group, he then said:
"I've only read bout Forbidden Sorcery from books during my days in training as a priest. According to records, Forbidden Sorcery comes from within certain individuals who are born with that power.
"However, for some reasons, the Gods banished this kind of sorcery and eliminated all who were gifted with it; they destroyed all knowledge related to it."
Edward frowned as this was never mentioned in the movie. However, he did not dwell on this issue as he knew that the real world was more complicated and a two hours movie could not explore all aspects of it.
"What about your Sorcery? Does it not come from within?"
"My power came from the Great God Anubis," replied Imhotep. "Now that I've told you everything I know, give the girl to me."
"As you wish."
He waved his hand and Evelyn flew towards Imhotep, who raised his hand to catch her. However, right as he was about to succeed, Snape used the Accio Charm to call the black book that was in his hand.
Meanwhile, the golden book appeared in Lily's hand and she read an incantation from it.
Imhotep looked at Evelyn in his hand who turned into sand since it was a very well-made transfiguration. Rage suddenly overcame him, however, before he could make another move, he heard the sound of the incantation and felt his body weaken.
Then, Imhotep passed out.
