The Magical Amulet

The Magical Amulet
A long time ago in ancient Egypt, there was a chest which contain a magical amulet that can give a wish whoever wore it but our ancestor took it away and cannot be seen for generation by generation. There has a rumor that in one pyramid in Egypt has a secret passageway the leads to a series of test to determine who is the righteous one who can have a wish but if you doesn’t deserve it you will be killed by the ancient guards of the passageway.

One traveler named Edward, together with his apprentice Jacob went to Egypt when he hears the rumor. Jacob wanted to be immortal so that he can live in the planet earth for eternity but Edward don’t want to be immortal he just wanted to be with his father that has passed away because he can’t say “I love you” to him or even express his feeling to his father, And because of his desperation he come to Egypt. When they were near the pyramid, Jacob hit Edward to his head and said;

“Thank you for bringing me here, you can rest now Edward. HAHAHA.”

When Edward gains his consciousness, he immediately enters the pyramid. When he enter the pyramid he was shocked of what he saw; Jacob was lying on the ground with full of blood in his body and he was DEAD! Even though he is a traitor, Edward still prays for his spirit to be peaceful. A few minutes after the peaceful prayer, he continued his journey for the amulet. At first, he find difficult to find the way to treasure room because the pyramid structure is like a labyrinth. After a few hours of searching, he pushes a brick which is the switch for the opening of a passageway that leads beneath the pyramid.

Before Edward enters the passageway, he gets a torch and goes down. When Edward goes down, he found that the door was closing but it was too late! He had no choice but to go down. When he reaches the end of the stairs he read some text written in hieroglyphics on the wall;

“This will test your might
And see the purity of your heart
An enemy will come to fight
To see whether you’re in the right.”

After he read it, he found a sword lying on the ground. Before he could grab it the enemy in the riddle came and he was at shock because he found out it was his father and was trying to kill him!! Edward fought bravely and when he had a chance to defeat his father he drop his sword and said;
“There is no sense of killing you, caused I don’t want to kill somebody especially you.”
The enemy stood up and said;

“You have passed the test. You can now go to the next door.”

Then the enemy disappeared. As he enters the next room he saw the “valley of darkness of no end” and he sees a stone tablet that has had a riddle written in hieroglyphics;

“As you can see the darkness valley
You must enter the alley.
And a light must come
If you are the righteous one”

So he enters the valley. He was very frightened and his whole body was shaking. When he was far to the starting point, he relaxed, and then he figured the riddle, he put the fire in the torch that serve as a light and the one who holds the light is the righteous one, he put the light in front of the stone and some word has appeared which says that it was just a illusion, then he think it was just an illusion and when he opened his eyes the valley of darkness was gone.

Edward entered the last room which is the treasure room. When he was just a step away to the amulet he stopped and said;

“I never need the amulet! Because I realized that I must be happy for what I have now. I know my father was very proud of what I have and he is very happy, he just not expresses it but I know his happy for me”

“GREAT!” Edward hear it from nowhere” the amulet was not true it is also a part of a test, if you’re intention for that wish is for good and not for selfishness. And for the prize of your braveness and purity of your heart I will send you back in time where your father still lives, use that opportunity wisely”.

And the next event he know is that he is back in time and saw his father working outside for woods used in cooking and Edward helps his father happily and without his father notice he said "I Love You".
