“Oh really? Which metal?” Tydeus asked as if he was about to receive lectures from a physics teacher.
Apphathorus moved towards the gate, feeling it with hands and said to Tydeus “It's bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. I think we should just find another route to escape.”
“Old man, are you going to help me bring down this gate?” Tydeus asked with a weird smile on his face.
“Uhmm, no”
“Then keep quiet!” Tydeus shouted at Apphathorus who was flexing his science muscles.
When it comes to breaking down a giant gate, flexing physical muscles would help faster than scientific muscles.
“We don't have much time!” Rakeh screamed out of nowhere as he kept on battling with the other pirates.
Tydeus, looking at the giant gate again, took a deep breath as he cracked his knuckles.
Gryza, who was about to attack Rakeh, took his attention to Tydeus.
“What does this bastard think he is about to do?” he mumbled to himself with a villainous smile.
“You're not doing what I think you want to do”. Apphathorus said to Tydeus again. He might only be trying to save Tydeus from killing himself. This heavy gate could kill him if he tries to carry it.
“How did they say I killed Apophis again?” Tydeus asked Apphathorus with a confident smile on his face.
“Uhmm, with your bare hands?” Apphathorus replied wondering what Tydeus was thinking.
“Good!” Tydeus replied to Apphathorus as he bent down to carry the giant gate from below.
Galdashkeh from where he was hiding with his bodyguards, was afraid and at the same time happy. Carrying such a heavy metal gate could be his enemy trying to kill himself willingly.
The rest of the pirates surrounded Rakeh. This should be the best time for him and Tydeus to fight together as a team but Tydeus seems to be doing a more dangerous task.
“Get him!” Gryza commanded the other pirates as they stormed at Rakeh.
Gryza, realizing Tydeus and Rakeh have been fighting to save an old man, walks towards Apphathorus, positioning his sword for a perfect kill.
As he was about to strike Apphathorus who was facing the other side watching Tydeus trying to lift the big gate, Rakeh threw his axe towards him, hitting his head and sending him to the ground.
Apphathorus, who didn't realize someone just saved his life, continued watching Tydeus.
“Graaaaaaa!!!!!” Tydeus groaned as he used his entire strength, trying to lift the gate.
Apphathorus was frozen in shock as he watched Tydeus lift the gate gently.
Tydeus continued groaning as he tried to lift the gate; his feet had started to make cracks on the concrete floor. Killing Apophis made him famous, destroying a gigantic gate could also add to his legend.
“You better be done with that brother”. Rakeh said as he struggled with three pirates at the same time.
Galdashkeh, seeing his pirates were about to finish Rakeh and Tydeus was about to kill himself, began smiling. The night could later end up in his favour.
Not until Tydeus groaned harder and pushed the giant gates. The gate broke from its holds and began going down gently.
Apphathorus stood up slowly as he opened his mouth. He couldn't believe his eyes. Did this big dude just break down the gates?
*BANG!!!!!*
The gates fell and shattered into pieces to the outside. The rest of the pirates, including their boss, Galdashkeh, opened their mouths in great shock. Did Tydeus just break down the giant gate of Iron Fortress?
Some of the pirates who were already about to finish Rakeh left him and ran back into the Fortress in fear. If Tydeus could break such a heavy gate, how much more are their bones?
Rakeh immediately ran, picked up his axe and held Apphathorus in his other hand as he ran outside the Fortress.
“Good job bro! Now let go,” He said, smiling at Tydeus.
“Not now bro, I have some unfinished business to attend to”. Tydeus said as he cracked his knuckles walking towards Galdashkeh.
“Get him!” Galdashkeh commanded the other pirates who were still there.
As the other pirates heard their boss's commands, they all ran for their lives, leaving Galdashkeh to carry his cross.
As Galdashkeh saw this, he became more afraid. He looked at his two bodyguards in front of him and ordered them to attack Tydeus.
As they ran towards Tydeus to fight, Tydeus held their heads and slammed them together, sending them both to the ground.
Galdashkeh pulled out his sword, shaking like a chicken with his fat body as Tydeus kept walking towards him gently.
“You know, I wanted to spare your life but I just heard something shocking that I didn't even believe…”
“So you and your maggots were the ones that attacked and destroyed Malja 15 years ago?”. Tydeus asked with a straight face as he walked slowly towards Galdashkeh, who was already peeing on his body.
“Malja? Where is Malja? I don't know what you're talking about. Please spare me, I apologize for everything I have done”. Galdashkeh said as he continued begging for his life.
“So you were the ones that made me lose my father? You maggots ruined my village and left me hopeless?” Tydeus said, this time, his face filled with anger as he continued walking towards Galdashkeh, who started shuddering.
“It's… it's not… It's not like that my pirates went against my orders and attacked Malja instead of another village”. Galdashkeh said as he fell on his groins from walking backwards.
Gryza, who was unconscious on the floor, woke up and shook his head, wondering what hit him. He looked up and saw his boss, Galdashkeh, crying out loud.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhrrrgggg!!!!”

CHAPTER 93
They kept navigating their way in the renowned cave of the dead till they got to a narrow corridor, a creepy long passage, dark and appalling. Apphathorus quickly gripped the lamp he had in his hands tightly and swallowed hard.“This place looks scary, are we really going into this corridor?” Apphathorus asked“Everywhere in this cave is scary, there's no need to be dramatic. We must get the stones. So what did the map indicate? We are going through this corridor right?” Tydeus asked“Yes” Apphathorus replied “Fine. Just make sure you're very careful and you stay behind me”, Tydeus, whilst still holding his bleeding stomach warned Apphathorus, making his way into the corridor by leaping on his broken kneeApphathorus began walking behind him as they advanced further into the corridor. As Apphathorus walked, his legs were shaking terribly each step wishing he hadn't come into the Forest in the first place. With the lamp in his hands, he continued to turn his back often after each step
CHAPTER 92
The giant turned to Apphathorus again but could not see anything. Has he run away? It steered its body in different directions looking for the little human who just woke it up after sleeping for thousands of years. While the mummy turned back, Apphathorus furtively held his bag and began to make his way out of the cave. This was only their first encounter, and it was already looking like it would be the end of their adventure.Only one step was remaining for him to make it out of the cave from the big hole, but he noticed he wasn't moving forward again, it was as if an external force was taking him back. He turned his back in terror and saw the giant pulling him back into the cave. They had come to its playground, and it seemed the giant mummy wasn't done playing yet. The giant mummy gripped Apphathorus tightly with its wide, bony palm and brought it closer to its mouth, but just before he could swallow Apphathorus, who was already screaming beyond his voice, Tydeus emerged out of n
CHAPTER 91
“Watch your steps, old man; this place doesn't look like the playground you called it”, Tydeus said, breaking the ominous silence in the cave, and his voice echoed.“Oh my gosh! I'm creeping out right now. I feel like vomiting”, Apphathorus replied fearfully“Oh well, you can do that after we make it outside. As you can see this place is really dark and eerie. We are left to find the stones now”, Tydeus said, taking a closer look at the materials on the floor; they looked like dry bones of humans or perhaps animals. “Where could they be now?”“You have the map with you isn't it?” Tydeus cut in“Yeah?”“Then make use of it; where are we supposed to get the stones before something comes at us?” Tydeus asked Apphathorus sharply. “Uhm, This is what it says. We are supposed to…”“Hey watch it! Don't touch anything. Be careful!” Tydeus quickly informed as he saw Apphathorus almost resting on some of the creepy materials near the wall.“Oh, don't worry about me being careful; I mean, I was
CHAPTER 90
The rain had started to drizzle and the breeze blowing ominously, the trees had started to dance like horrible masquerades making the entire atmosphere in the jungle tense and creepy, but it seemed these two risk-takers were already getting used to the nature around these paths but they might just be making their way to the most dreadful part of all. Apphathorus and Tydeus, whilst still leaping with his stick, arrived at a wide spot under a big tree in the forest after a long walk, both of them started to gaze at the surroundings, trying to observe where they had gotten to. “Are we lost? Tydeus asked his voice sharp.“I think that's not the right word to use because we have been lost since we made our way into this jungle. But talking about ‘misplaced’, I think we…” Apphathorus was saying as he took another look at his map to study it again. “Oh no! Now we have to go back, we have been walking in the wrong route!” He said with a tone of disappointment.“Really? Let me see that” Ty
CHAPTER 89
Apphathorus's heart had started to drum in his chest, cold sweat trickling down his old, weak face as he awaited what would come out of the bush in the fog. But from afar, he saw something different; he was expecting to see the form of a monster or another hideous beast. Instead, he saw the form of a human, or maybe it was a monkey. He squinted his eyes to see who or what was coming behind the fog, every movement of his eyes begging it to be a human. He continued to focus his sight on the apparition in his front until he began to scream, “Help! Help!! Is anyone there?! Is anyone…” He halted his noise instantly as he saw what was coming out of the fog clearly. It was like a human being leaping with a walking stick coming in his direction. “Everybody in the forest can't be walking with a stick, except one person. But is it possible?” His thought swirled his brain as he continued to focus his gaze on the person coming his way. “No way!” he mumbled in shock with his eyes widened like
CHAPTER 88
“Aaauurrrrrhhh!” A loud weak yawn broke through the silence. But nothing was seen except the blurry view of two large eyes protruding out of a big green head with horns like… or perhaps antennas shooting out of the green head. But it seems what was seen wasn't much of a threat so… we can ignore it. Not until the creature whatever it was, felt like it was coming closer, closer? From where exactly? We can take another blurry look, but… it's gone, better! Not bad for another yawn of relief and… “aauurrrrrrhhh”*AATTTUUU!!!*Apphathorus let out a loud cough as the grasshopper almost flew into his mouth.*TUEH! TUEH!! TEUH!!!*He spat repeatedly even though the little grasshopper had flown away. “What was that for?! I was sleeping and you flew on my nose? That wasn't enough; I tried to yawn, and then you flew into my mouth till you finally woke me up?!”“Why don't you creatures of this jungle have any sense of humour?” He yelled out disgustedly at the grasshopper, which had flown into t
