They pushed the large door and it fall apart.

" it easy to enter ,becareful Laura " Ralph whispered and Laura nodded putting on her torch

The two walk together and Ralph eyes where sharp like an eagle and alsmost immediately.

"watch out" He shouted pushing Laura to the floor, Spears from no where came rushing out and they dodge. soon it died down.

" what next" Laura whispered.

Ralph took a stone and threw it forward ,but nothing happened ,I think the Spears has done it work,let move to the other side" Ralph whispered back.

They walk quickly to a corner and they met with another large gate.

" Be ready for another trap" He whispered as he tried to open the door.but it was damn locked.

"I think there has to be a way around here to opened the gate" Laura said looking around the place full of web and spider.

" There" She pointed at a dragon statue with mouth opened.

" let try it out " Ralph said moving toward it carefully,he put in his Torchlight and beckoned on Laura to come over.

He checked on the dragon statue trying to press anywhere.he checked on the mouth and when he noticed it can be closed.he closed and the gate opened.

" Yes" Ralph said in excitement.

" Let go " He said and they entered.

" Look at where the emperor is laid " Laura pointed at the big tomb.

" Be careful" Ralph said and as they took a step many strings line formed everywhere ,that could cut anything it touched.

" what is this" Laura ask looking at it and wanted to touch it.

" Don't ,it dangerous look " He warned then look around ,he found a price of leave and threw it at the strings it cut it into two immediately.

" oh my God" she gasp.

"How about we cut it" Laura demanded.

" It can't be cut ,if we do we might be in danger" Ralph answered looking around and thinking of what he will do .

" Come he said going back and Laura followed him.

" Some of the strings are invisible, we have to use the night vision glasses,which means we will walk through it but avoid the strings" Ralph said looking at it.

" well isn't that too dangerous" She frowned.

" yes and no, check this" Ralph said taking a stone and roll it in the ground but the strings didn't move.

" This means we can walk through it,the strings work only when it touch things" Ralph explained.

" Common let do it" He added and they bring out the vision glasses they put in on and everywhere turn red the invisible was visible and gently they started walking through the line.

Some they bend their head some they walk over it till they are near to the tomb.

And out of eagerness,Laura nearly fall to the strings but Ralph helped her up .

" Be careful okay" He said and she smiled back.

They got to the tomb,and they smiled again .

" Let get to work" Laura said as she bring out her tools, they pushed the lid opened after many minutes , revealing the Emperor king, his body full of cloth and jewelries with a crown on his head just like he was sleeping.

" Wow,he is not rotten,I was expecting to meet a scattered bone " Ralph coughed and said due to the dust" .

" You know during the days ,they heard powerful sorceress who cast a spell on their coffin for them not to rotten ,common let get what we want" Laura said and she puts on her gloves.

" She lifted the dead Emperor hand and gently remove the jade,

" Wow,it is beautiful" Laura admired the green emerald jade.

" I love this jewelries also and they end up taking all the jewelries in the dead Emperor body " Ralph said taking it off his neck and gently they covered the lid back and they turn around to meet skeleton bones with swords in their hand .

" Ok I was not expecting this" Ralph said with his hand in his back.

" Cover your nose darling" Ralph said and bring a bottle out.

" He flit it every where and the bones melt immediately, even the strings melt ,and they rush out still covering their nose..............

" They run as fast as they can as the small castle started to collapse.

" Laura over here" Ralph said and they jumped out from a window , immediately they are out the castle collapsed living it only the dust.

" Are you okay," Ralph ask as she coughed due to the dust.

" Yes am fine ,what about you are you not hurt"she ask looking at his body.

" No am not hurt okay,you are more important to me" He said smiling widely showing his set of teeth.

"I told you that won't work on me ,let go home,She said standing up but fall down immediately.

" Ouch,I think I heard a sprain in my leg" She cried out.

" So now who is carrying who " Ralph ask and got a glare from her.

"okay okay, I will carry you but you will have to kiss me " He smirked and Laura knocked his head.

"just take me home okay." she said still massaging her leg.

" your knock hurt " he said and then carried her..
