House of Anubis: The Grail of Anubis

House of Dates/House of Grails

"So, what interested you in sports?" MacKenzie asked Duncan as they were at the first part of their date--the un-fancy restaurant.

The un-fancy restaurant was actually it's name-- the un-fancy restaurant. It was a 90s' retro diner, with a round counter and those little tall red seats.

There was also checkered floors and a group table with red cushioned seats.

"Well, my dad was really into sports when he came to Anubis House, and my mum's father was a track legend, so, I decided to go into sports, you know. Make them proud. August...not so much." Duncan chuckled.

MacKenzie ordered the fish and chips, and Duncan ordered the same.

Unknown to them, Sibuna was also there after getting away from Mr. James and Rebecca.

"You found this riddle?" Robert asked, examining it. "Uh-huh..." Sarah answered.

"And, Rhys is your Osirian?" Leslie asked. They both nodded.

Tears of Gold you shall weep,
A grail for Egyptian emperors,
the trophy of the man who wasn't loved,
The water from the Nile River.

"Well, I think I know what the first part of the riddle means. My dad told me this story about the Mask of Anubis. I thought it was pretty boring for him to tell me about it. Turns out, after all these years, he was doing me a favor." Jax took the riddle from Robert.

"He told me that, with our family relic," He held up air quotation marks, "'the Frobisher Gem', the Mask of Anubis was able to cry actual Tears of Gold. And the Chosen One has to wear it for it to work."

Everyone had their mouth agape. "I can't believe you just explained that to us." Robert said.

"I can't believe you remembered all that." Riley blinked.

"Okay, don't seemed so surprised!" Jax exclaimed. "Underneath all my good looks, there's a brain under there."

"Good looks?" Riley laughed. "Okay, stop talking." Jax passed the riddle back to Robert.

"Okay, the Grail for Egyptian emperors..."

Rhys tapped Sarah. "Didn't you take a grail from the warehouse?"

"Of course!" Sarah pulled out the Grail. It was small with a tiny open part, but the rest was a skinny pole. Kind of like how the Cup of Ankh was shaped.

On the open part of the grail, all over the sides it had Egyptians and they all had a crown on. They were drinking the grail in the engravings.

"I think I can translate this into a story." Robert explained.

"The story starts in the middle of Egypt, where there was only heat and sand. For the first time in forever, it started to rain. Then, the Grail of Anubis rose from the sands, filled with eternal water. Eternal life. Then after a couple hundred years, two Egyptians found the Grail and fought over who was going to drink the water, since it was the only water in Egypt at that time. They decided to share it. But the Grail of Anubis was made for one not many so after the two foolish Egyptians drank the water, they died, and there was no more water left in the Grail of Anubis."
