Beneath The Sands

=Chapter 1: Not so abandoned...=

Tracking through the desert Florandus Vindivicus saw the ancient ruin he had hoped to explore, moving to the entrance he looked at his feet and saw big paw prints in the sand. inspecting the Huge stone door he saw a small hole in the shape of a scarab, not having the scarab to use it on the ranger took out his dagger and picked the door causing it to open. Going in he started his gemlantern lighting the dark tunnels before him, the stone hieroglyphs etched into the walls depicted a pharaoh ruling over a small land that had gone extinct by a great drought making the growing of crops impossible for seven years. most subjects had died during that time, yet no indication in the marks showed any oppressions or riots. Continuing on he kept listening for movement when he heard something further on. Sneaking to the sound he noticed a mummy holding a torch using her cloth to dust off an expensive looking vase. Extinguishing his light and waiting for a bit the mummy moved on to another room, walking past the vase Florandus thought there would probably be much more valuable easier to carry treasure further down. Curiosity overtaking him he took a second look at the vase and discovered an extendable spike mechanism behind the vase that would have pierced any who would have lifted the vase. Losing sight of the mummy he hurried after her. Following the mummy through the ruin while memorizing the way out they came to a large room where many coffins lay, the mummy rested herself in one of the empty coffins having placed the torch in a holder. Inspecting the enlightened parts of the room revealed multiple mummies sleeping or waiting for orders. The ranger used all of his concentration to quietly crawl between the coffins to the other side of the room, making it there he quickly moved on through the tunnels. having passed a turn he presumed it to be safe to light his gemlantern again.

=Chapter 2: Forbidden treasure.=

Noticing more and more traps the further he got the ranger grew more suspicious of his whereabouts, another thing was the exponential growth of riches the deeper he went into the ruins. Coming to a huge statue he stopped his advances and extinguished his light again, a few meters ahead stood the statue with a sphinx sleeping next to it. It appeared the pawprints at the entrance where from this feline sleeping in the middle of the path. Stepping over the sphinx to the other side she started uttering un-audible mutterings. Fearing for her sudden awakening the ranger started ever so gently petting her head. The sphinx purred in her sleep as her tail twitched, out of the blue the sphinx pulled the young man into a loving embrace. She cuddled him planting kisses on his mouth after which she'd continue her mumbling. Feeling the cat stick her tongue in his mouth and moving it around Florandus got very nervous. The ranger carefully took the paw holding him off and distanced himself. Seeing the girl role in his direction only to continue sleeping he went on with a slight feeling of relief. Entering a room the ranger saw an anubis engraving hieroglyphs into a wall with her staff. Sneaking closer he suddenly heared the noise of scratching behind him which forced him into hiding at one of the unlighted corners of the room. The second he had hid himself the sphinx from just now came running inside. "Annipe, tell me what this taste in my mouth is!" The sphinx kissed the anubis on the mouth without a second thought causing the anubis to push her away in a panic. "What are you doing Keket?!" The young man's pupils widened at the scene. The sphinx looked at her confused. "What? I'm just trying to figure out what this taste in my mouth is, I suddenly had it when I woke up. I kind of like it, do you know it?" The anubis wiped her mouth as to get the reminiscent taste of cat off of her. "No, I don't. You probably licked some mummy's armpit in your sleep again, and don't kiss me so suddenly." Keket giggled at Annipe. "Don't be embarrassed, as if anybody is going to find out. The mummies probably wouldn't even care if we did it in front of them all day long." The anubis looked away while she blushed. "Don't mention such strange actions, I only got embarrassed because it feels like I'm being watched." The sphinx giggled again and walked away. "Well, If you change your mind I'll be sleeping over here." Annipe hid her red face as she to concentrate on the hieroglyphs, behind her the ranger tiptoed on.

=Chapter 3: Royal distrust.=

After searching through a few more rooms Florandus now had a bag full of wonderful treasure that jangled noisily. Finding the throne room he noticed a large sarcophagus standing open and a throne next to it with a woman casually painting her nails. Before he could hide the woman spoke in a regal tone. "Servant, paint my nails for me." The ranger pondered for a moment when he saw a man chained up by his neck sitting on the floor next to her. Deciding not to defy her the young man stepped up to her, took the colored liquid and started coloring the pharaoh's nails. As he worked he felt the chained up man tightly grab onto his leg, shivering as he did. The man looked at him with an expression of desperation. He tugged his chain and motioned to the ranger's sword to which the ranger responded by franticly shaking his head and trying to shake the man off. The pharaoh looked to the two lightly annoyed. "Servant, pay more attention to me instead of that spunkless husband of mine." Finishing her left hand he leaped away from the chained man and roughly started with the right hand when the pharaoh made direct eye contact. Eying him over she demanded his attention. "Say servant, how fertile are you?" Florandus stumbled with the paint as he worked. "Well, it is almost embarrassing to say my queen. I eh.. I am loinless." The pharaoh looked at him surprised. "Is that so?" The young man tried to remember the sphinx and anubis kiss from earlier in order to make his cheeks turn red. Now seemingly embarrassed the man turned his head away and shyly nodded. Looking upon him the pharaoh slipped a finger past his chin. "It is truly a shame." Now finished the ranger took his leave as fast as he could. "Excuse me pharaoh, while I bring you some water." The chained man got up and whispered to his wife. "He is lying, Such a man with that much hurry in his step is hiding something." The pharaoh caressed his cheek and kissed him. "I noticed, he places his legs to far apart for a man that has nothing to protect. Do you wish so much for to be parted with me?" The man's eyes suddenly filled with fear as he stuttered. "n-no, of course not my love. not even your anubis could charm me when I have you." The pharaoh's eyes squinted. "Annipe is the one it seems.. Seducing your pharaoh's husband is a terrible sin to commit, she is no longer a servant of mine" As she said this a snake familiar emerged from between her legs and slithered after the ranger.

=Chapter 4: Locking up.=

Florandus ran back through the tunnels hurrying for the exit when behind him he heard the sound of a snake's hiss coming closer. Quick thinking already eliminated one of his options, throwing over objects wouldn't help against a snake and it would also slow himself down. Looking back he saw a large red python slithering at high speed after him. Using his bow he tried to set off traps which the snake easily evades. He hurried into the room which had Annipe in it. Coming into an open space the ranger drew his sword and started aiming at the back of the snake's head hoping to hit its nerve system. "Whoa, w-who are you?! What are you doing" Annipe yelled as the man and snake fought. "Hey, stop at once!" she then yelled at them, which resulted in a snap of the snakes mouth close to her face. confused and furious she shot an arcane bolt at the snake which was evaded as well. The snakes attention turned to her as it tried to bite her neck. The anubis shot the snake backwards with a shockwave of air coming from her wand. "Listen to me!" Every word was harshly ignored as the snake kept snapping its fanged mouth at them both. Using a curse of fatigue the anubis blasted the snake who started to move much slower. The ranger took off its head and pulled Annipe along with him as they ran to the mummy room. On the way Keket came running having heard the commotion. Seeing the both of them running towards her confused her for a moment before Annipe grasped Keket's paw pulling her along as well. "W-why are we running?!" The Anubis ran as hard as she could. "Our master is trying to kill me!" Keket gulped. "Who is the guy pulling us?" The ranger looked behind him. "oh, you know. Your average grave robber." Annipe's face expression was furious. "You idiot! Are you responsible for why my master wants me dead?!" The ranger cut her off there. "Hey, I had nothing to do with that. All I did was getting noticed, acting like a servant and lying about my fertility!" Keket began to run alongside the anubis. "Why am I running then?" The anubis turned her anger to the sphinx. "Look behind you!" The sphinx took a peak while running and upped her pace when she saw the python familiars catching up.

Back at the snake's corps the pharaoh stood, touching it with her hand a new head grew in place. Summoning more snakes the pharaoh frowned. "How can they betray their own master like this?" With the two girls in hand and more snakes coming their way the three dashed right past the mummies who barelly had any time to react. reaching the exit Florandus pushed the girls outside, shot the mechanism for the door with his bow and jumped outside just before the door closed. relieved that that seemed over, the ranger turned to Keket. "Keket, give me the scarab key." The feline looked surprised. "You know my name?" Florandus had no time to mind the sphinx's question and blurted out his command. "Y-yeah, just give me the key." being given the key the young man slashed it in two with his sword. Hearing loud banging noises at the other side of the door the three decided to get out of there before the pharaoh broke through.

=Chapter 5: New pets.=

They walked to an unfurnished vacant stone house sitting lonely in the desert. Now at a safe distance far from the not so peacefull ruins Keket turned to the ranger. "Will you tell me now how you knew my name?" Florandus Blushed heavily. "I heard your name after you and Annipe kissed" Annipe's ears perked up as she heard him say the words. "w-wat?!" She jumped up to him holding him by his shoulders. "You can't tell anyone!" Seeing th anubis so alarmed Keket's tail started wiggling, she jumped at the anubis to kiss her again. During that kiss she looked at the young man through the corner of her eyes. "Keket you filthy perverted cat, stop kissing me in front of strangers!" Keket giggled and then leaned up against the ranger. "I know, lets play a game." She said to him. "I'll ask you a question and if you get it right you get to kiss Annipe, get it wrong and you'll have to kiss me." With every few words Keket would lick the anubis's cheek. Annipe seemed so shocked and confused she was paralyzed. "Okay, first question. If I scratch your back, do you bleed or drip?" he pondered about it for a second. "Both, my back will bleed causing my body to drip blood." Kakat smiled while she pushed Annipe over to him. "Correct, now for your prize!" A little reluctant Florandus pressed his lips to Annipe's going for a long deep kiss. The anubis savored it for a moment letting out cute moans before she backed away. "That taste, That's the taste you were talking about Keket." The sphinx looked at her friend, then at the ranger. "Let me test that, second question. What runs out of a human, but still keeps going?" The ranger pointed at her with determination in his eyes. "Life on earth. even if a human dies, the life on earth keeps going on." Keket smirked as she jumped him, causing him to fall to the ground with her on top of him. "You lose, it was time! now I get to enjoy you." Keket took him on the mouth and started to rub her body against his. Seeing the display Annipe's face became even more red than before, after which Keket grabbed her paw and forced Annipe to help her with seducing the ranger.

After the mating session Florandus layed exhausted on the stone floor with a purring sphinx and a quietly snoring anubis. Once the two had awoken Florandus told them about a small town where the two could live their lives without ever having to see the pharaoh again. Agreeing to the idea the duo set out for the town and said goodbye to the onwards traveling ranger.
