Magi Saga 1: Epic Calling Read Online Free PDF Page A

should have been finished over a week ago, and they were now missing their family and friends, all due to Amy’s timidity and ridiculous superstitions.
    The team had wanted to enter the sixth and final chamber last night but Amy had stopped them, now it looked like they had risen early to enter that final room without her.
    Soon the site came into view and sure enough she saw some of the team outside the entrance to the tomb. Amy cursed again and stormed past them into the gaping black hole. The two men outside didn’t meet her gaze, but slowly followed her inside to see the fireworks that were no doubt about to erupt. Amy strode through four chambers lit by Electric lamps set on the floor connected to the generator outside. Ahead she could see the fifth chamber, lit from within by more lamps and torches that cast shadows on the walls as people carried them about. She could hear the team’s voices up ahead too, echoing through the rooms.
    In her head she concocted all sorts of tortures she could inflict on Jonathon, the team leader. He had defied her all along and done his own thing. The fact that Yasmin seemed to put up with this man’s disrespect infuriated her, but she wasn’t about to upset Yasmin, so she knew she had to let it slide, for now.
    In the fourth chamber she pulled up short and stepped off to one side, she looked down at her feet in the harsh illumination of a nearby lamp as the dust settled around her. She took several deep breaths with her hands on her hips and did her best to calm herself down.
    Then the two men from outside walked into the chamber behind her, when they saw that Amy had stepped off to one side and not gone straight into the fifth chamber they hesitated, Amy smiled to herself and turned away from them. Yep, she would have given them all a nice little show if she had gone in there in a rage, something she knew they all wanted to see. Well, she wouldn’t give them the satisfaction, not today, today she would be measured and respectful. She took one more deep breath and wandered into the fifth chamber as if she had ordered them to start the dig so early.
    The team were hard at work; three of them were gathered around the entrance to the final chamber while the rest fulfilled various tasks or waited for the big moment. Jonathon stood a short distance from Amy and eyed her carefully as she entered. Amy smiled serenely at him and ambled over to his side.
    ‘We thought we’d get an early start,’ he said.
    ‘I’d hoped you would.’
    ‘So, you don’t mind? Only we wanted to give this one our full attention, we thought it best not to disturb you.’
    Amy smiled. ‘Of course, you did the right thing, I appreciate the thought,’ you smug bastard she thought to herself.
    ‘But, you’re here now and not a moment too soon it seems.’
    ‘What?’ Amy said, slightly confused.
    Jonathon pointed at the entrance to the final chamber where several of the team laboured, the huge slab of stone that blocked the entrance had already been eased out somewhat. Dust and sand spilled from it to the floor making the team members closest to the door cough.
    ‘But, hold on John, it’s too soon, I didn’t think you would be this quick. You don’t know what’s in there!’ she blurted out. She couldn’t help it, she had to say something, but she knew she’d sounded like a crazy person, so she bit her lip.
    Jonathon looked at Amy and raised one eyebrow, as if he were looking at a fly that had just landed in his soup.
    ‘Amy, firstly, it’s Professor Hughes to you, and secondly, what on earth do you think is going to be in there, some kind of ancient Mummy from a cheap B-Movie? We’re scientists Miss Bergman, we don’t believe in curses and things that go bump in the night. Get a grip!’
    ‘G-g-get a grip?!?!’ Amy stammered in anger, desperate to show him just how big a bump things in the darkness could make. ‘I’ll…’
    But she never finished that statement and whatever she said after
