Chapter Five

"What in the world…" Dylan began and looked over at Theodore. "What the heck is this?" Dylan pointed over his shoulder at the words written on the door.

"Millie," Theodore said, and the drone lighting up their path moved closer to the door. He named the drone Millie? Leonne couldn't help the question running through his head. Theodore looked over at the words on the door and thought for a while. "A riddle? No…. this appears to be some type of puzzle." Theodore said mostly to himself.

"A puzzle you say?" Dylan said and placed his hands on his hips. "We don't have time for some childish puzzle." Dylan snapped and walked over towards the door. "We need to hurry up and get that rock."

"Stone!" everyone shouted in unison. Thomas walked closer to the door and read what was written. Here lie the remains of the mummy king. Preserving royalties' bodies was for the best, his kingdom believed. They had one goal for their bodies as their souls climbed towards the sky. What was their purpose for these mummies without a life?

"We probably have to answer the question right to open the door," Leonne said and scratched his head. "We need to figure out the mummies’ goals for preserving their bodies, I suppose." Leonne wasn't the smartest in the Millennium Squad, Theodore took that title, but he wasn't a nincompoop either.

"How do we do that?" Dylan asked. "I don't know jack squat about mummies, other than they're wrapped up in dirty rags."

"Director Morris, do you know anything?" Theodore turned, looking at the museum director. Theodore had read about many reasons to why a mummy might be preserved, but he was sure that some of what he had read were myths. Director Morris didn't say anything as he fidgeted from one foot to the other. Thomas looked over at Director Morris in suspicion. He's acting a little odd. Is he nervous? Thomas asked himself.

"So close," Director Morris mumbled low enough that the others couldn't hear, but Thomas’ sensitive ears was able to pick up what he had said. He must really want the stone back, but I suppose it's for a good reason. Thomas' body was starting to tense up, he was feeling like he was missing something. Things didn't feel quite right to him.

"Director Morris!" Theodore shouted when Director Morris didn't respond to him. The director flinched and abruptly looked at Theodore.

"Ah, my apologies." Director Morris cleared his throat and read the message on the door. "There are several theories as to why mummies mummify themselves. I'm sorry, but I do not know the exact answer. How about we try them all?" Director Morris suggested.

"I guess that's all we can do." Leonne sighed. That method could take a while. Leonne suggested looking up the answer on the wide-web, but it was just as Theodore and Director Morris suggested. There were thousands of theories. Leonne was about to unleash a loud sigh, but he heard loud meowing and felt clawing on his pants' leg.
