"You have broken the law no one is allowed to enter this tomb without authorization," his words began to falter as he looked a Charlotte. She stood tall with a bright glow surrounding her. She had a face like thunder. Her voice echoed around the surrounding hills, and was spoken with such authority that he took a few paces backwards. Charlotte was clearly very angry. This, she did and walked to the edge of the camp with John gently supporting her. They sat down on some boulders with their backs to the camp. Charlotte put her finger to her lips to silence John. As they turned around a guard was approaching. The guard turned and walked back towards the camp. John held out his hand and helped her up. They walked back towards the camp.

The priest bowed again, and again, as Charlotte approached him. The man was clearly frightened and did not want to experience the wrath of Charlotte again. As she raised her hand to quieten him, he scuttled backwards and tripped over. Charlotte raised her arm and the man stopped talking and dropped back a few paces to walk behind them. After questioning the priest for some time Charlotte dismissed him.
At any other time both John and Charlotte, would have treated this information as hearsay, or mass hysteria, and dismissed it. However, having been through enough of their own strange experiences recently, they thought the information in the main was true. If this was the case, they surmised that they could be in danger if Set found out that they were in the vicinity. They gathered everyone around them, and Charlotte spoke to them asking them for their allegiance against Set's reign of terror.

With one accord they all agreed to help. Charlotte was shrewd enough to realize that this was from fear of her, rather than devotion. She was also aware that not everyone had good intentions towards her. She summoned Akunosh to organise an elite group of guards to always be by her side. Charlotte and John did not get much sleep that night. They sat around the embers of the campfire discussing the day's events, and what to do next.

They decided that in the morning they would head for Yunu. They knew that a large group would attract attention. So it was determined that they split up to enter the town. One thing that was agreed upon was that Charlotte should be flanked by her guards at all times. John was to be in charge of one group and Charlotte the other. This was to ensure that if one group got into trouble, the other could go to their aide.

John was very nervous as he set off. Whereas Charlotte seemed to be looking forward to the confrontation that may occur. Then again she did have an invisible helper thought John. On entering the town, Charlotte found it nearly deserted. That is apart from the children who came running out from behind doors and buildings. They ran towards her touching her robes. Others darted between the guards, giggling, and laughing.

John's group approached from the far side of the town, meeting in the middle. There was so much noise and laughter coming from the children he did not hear the horses hooves initially. However, Charlotte had heard them. She immediately ordered the guards to take the children out of danger. Then, she turned to face the horses, but they were nowhere to be seen. Even though they could be heard.

A dust storm sprung up. Charlotte pursed her lips together blowing a powerful wind from between them. First, she cleared a tunnel through the middle of the dust-storm as this was where the sound of galloping hooves was coming from. Then, she turned her head from side to side, to clear completely the area.

The vision before them was incredulous. Horse's hooves could be seen racing across the ground and then there was nothing. No, horse's legs, or body, and no physical being riding them. A pair of skeletal hands could be seen holding nonexistent reigns. The outline of the rider's head could be seen with a pair of glaring eyes suspended in deep sockets. The men surrounding Charlotte turned, and run away in horror. Charlotte went into a trance. She produced a horn from out of nowhere. Blowing it, she produced a high note and held it without pausing for breath. The sound was so high pitched and alien people covered their ears in protection. One by one the abominations became affected by the high pitch being blown. The riders and their horses once invisible began to emerge in a physical format. But it did not finish there, they did not stop forming. They grew excessively until they became bloated and distorted and were of no recognisable form. Finally, they exploded into thousands of pieces which caused a stream of ooze that melted away into the ground. The battle had been won.

An unearthly voice came from above, it shouted angrily, The considerable effort made by Charlotte took its toll, and she crumpled into a heap on the floor. John ran over to her. She was unconscious and barely breathing. He lifted her up and carried her over to protection of a building, and away from the sun's glare. John was beside himself with grief he did not know what to do. He cradled her in his arms and planted a tender kiss on her lips.
A sound like the crack of a whip resounded through the air. John's body went into convulsions which he had no control over. He was aware of what was going on around him, and could faintly hear Charlotte calling his name. When he tried to answer her, he could not. He heard another voice speaking which was strange as appeared to becoming from in his head. The convulsions subsided, but they had left John feeling weak. He noticed Sied approaching Charlotte. To his horror he was holding a dagger in his hand. Charlotte was still unconscious. When John tried to get up, he was too weak to move. He opened his mouth to yell out a warning. As he did, a sheet of flames came from his mouth. It shot across the ground targeting Sied. It covered him from head to toe turning him into a human torch.
