Chapter 33

AN: Helloooo ALLLL...... I got a party tonight so I probably will be 'Tipsy' by the time I'd normally upload this.

Chapter 33

"Hiccup are you sure it's in this direction?" Fishlegs asked as he tried not to blush as Heather held on tightly to him from behind. They were all on their dragons, flying low along the sand dunes.

Hiccup bent slightly forward along Toothless and looked down to the man caught in his paws. "So are we still on course?" He asked the squirming man.

"Yes yes yes!!" The man shouted as he clung to Toothless for dear life. "This wasn't part of the deal!!"

"The deal was that you'd show us the way in return for letting your men go." Hiccup chuckled.

"ON A MAP!!" The man shouted. "NOT HANGING FROM A DRAGON!!!"

"Semantics" Hiccup shrugged. "You never did specify how."

"AAAH" The man shouted as they nearly missed a large sand dune. "Whoops" Toothless mentally giggled while Hiccup rolled his eyes at the dragon's antics.

"Can we go over this again please, because you lost me for a bit." Eret asked. "Who builds an underground facility in Egyptian ruins?"

"Only the entrance is in the ruins." The man mumbled. "The facility is below them."

"But archeologist......."

"Think Hamunaptra is nothing more than a myth." The man interrupted. "Years ago an expedition was made to find the city. They found it and then released Imhotep on us all. Almost all of the expedition team died. Imhotep was stopped but he rose again some years later. Now people actively avoid the area because they believe in the curse of the mummy."

"Okay...... I'm just pointing this out here but.... There seem to be an awful lot of mummies being resurrected." Heather grumbled and then glared at her brother who was flying with the twins.

"Hey!! Don't look at me!!" Dagur defended. "I only resurrected one mummy!"

"Ditto" Meixiu commented as well.

"There!" The man pointed between two large red sand dunes. "It is a short walk after you land there."

"Are you playing with us?" Snotlout asked confronting the man after they had landed. He waved his arms about "There is nothing here but sand!!!"

"Of course there is. Most of the city was destroyed when Imhotep was first vanquished. According to my grandfather a large mountain fell in on itself as sand rose up for miles to see."

"Well then how do we find Drago under a mountain of sand?" Snotlout grumbled.

"You just use the elevator."

"Elevator? What elevator?" Snotlout now asked and was then pointed towards a cave in one of the cliff sides. "Hamunaptra had many secret passages. Some survived. You follow the path and you'll find an elevator that will take you straight to Drago's facility."

"Who puts an elevator in the middle of nowhere?!" Eret muttered.

"Megalomaniacs who are bent on world domination?" Fishlegs answered.

"Okay you got a point there." Eret agreed.

"This is where I leave you." The man then said as he looked straight at the group. "Know that if you lied to me about Drago's true intentions, that I will not hesitate to bring the full force of the Medjay down upon you." With that said the man turned around and started walking away.

"You think he's going to be alright?" Meixiu asked. "We are in the middle of a desert."

"He'll be fine." Valka told them. "There was a caravan following us not far from here. I have no doubt that they were associates of the Medjay. They would be here either to pick him up or keep an eye on us."
