CH.11 A New Threat Emerges

The nomad's journey continues, As he faces a new enemy in his view. Will he be strong enough to fight, Or will he fall before the night?

The darkness may offer a helping hand, But can he trust it in this foreign land? The quest is far from over, that much is true, For the nomad's fate is yet to be told, so let the story unfold. 

Jack Sterling was still reeling from the power that had surged through him. Little did he know, his actions had sparked a chain of events that would soon bring a new threat to his doorstep.

A New Threat Emerges

Theban Necropolis, a vast complex of tombs and burial sites on the west bank of the Nile River "Valley of the Kings"

4.5 kilometers Away from Jack Sterling

The bandits stumbled into their hideout in the Theban Necropolis, gasping for breath and their faces white with shock. Their leader, a man known only as The Anubis, looked up from his throne of stolen treasure and demanded to know what had happened.

"Boss, you won't believe it," one of the bandits said, his voice shaking. "We went to collect the tax from that antique shop like you told us, but then this guy - he just killed us with some kind of lightning! It was like nothing we'd ever seen before."

The Anubis knew that this could only mean one thing. Another powerful being had surfaced in the area, and he could not afford to let anyone challenge his reign. He stood up from his throne and strode over to the trembling bandit, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him close.

"Did you get his name?" he growled.

The bandit shook his head. "No, boss. We didn't have time. He just killed us and ran away."

The Anubis cursed under his breath. He knew that he had to find out who this lightning-wielding man was and make him pay for what he had done. But first, he had to ensure the safety of his operation.

"Spread the word," The Anubis ordered, his voice low and menacing. "Tell all of our contacts to be on the lookout for this man. And tell them that if he comes anywhere near our territory again, he will not live to see the next day Because I will send the commanders down to hunt him," the leader declared, his voice cold and calculated.."

The threat of The Anubis and his organization loomed over the city like a dark cloud, and Jack had no idea what he had just set in motion. The power that he had unleashed was not something that he could control, and he knew that he had to be careful, or else he would become the target of a deadly game of cat and mouse.
