The same day, on the far far isolated island, The Lost Island.
Roger, and 4 other people were talking in front of a 3 meters height stone door.
"Sir Roger, please reconsider about opening this door. According to this ancient scripture written on this door, 'Behind these door, lies something that mustn't be touched nor bring outside the world. Only those of pure bloods have the right to open this door. Heed this warning or suffer the consequences of your actions."
An archaeologist named Michael was persistent on saying.
"Enough talking!" Roger replied then turned around and pointed his finger to his men.
"You and you, lights on the door. And the rest, try opening this door!"
4 armed men lowered their guns then tried pushing the door but...
"Sir, it won't even budge."
"This door..."
Roger gritted his teeth,
"Tsk, you!Skinny man with the lights. Go outside and inform Cyclops to gather the people and get some equipments, chipping guns and other useful things. Go!!!"
After a few minutes, Cyclops and some men with equipments came. They started destroying the stone door. It took them an hour to finally made a path enough for them to fit through.
The armed men were finally in relief.
"Damn, no wonder it wouldn't even budge when we tried pushing it. This door is like more or less 50 cm thick!"
"How the hell did they even put something like this, and can they even open these door without some modern equipments?"
Roger finally smiled and was excited. They entered the door with their lights on per people. As they stepped in, there they saw piled gold coins, gold bars and jewels. The armed men were mesmerized and were smiling.
"Treasures, treasures!!! Sir, we found it!"
"We're rich! We're rich!!!"
"I can now live my life with no worries! Hahaha"
The armed men were laughing in joy. Some were in tears, some were lying down the gold coins, some were hugging each other.
The two explorers and the 2 archaeologist were also mesmerized as they put down their safari pith helmets.
Michael's eye were like sparkling as he saw the treasure. Behind those treasures, was a stair going up. It was more or less than 100 steps. Roger and Cyclops went up, as for the rest were down enjoying. As they went up, they saw 4 destroyed stone pillars and at the center was a red glowing with jewels carved all over. Seconds later, there were 4 armed men and the 2 archaeologists, Michael and Adam followed them.
"Cyclops, what do you think this is?"
Roger rubbed his chin and curiously asked Cyclops.
Cyclops touched the thing like coffin and replied.
"This... this is more like a sarcophagus Sir."
Michael and Adam stepped in when they saw a writing scripture from the lid of the sarcophagus. After reading, both their eyes became big.
Roger saw them,
"So what does it say?"
Adam was curious what's really inside and replied,
"The ancient scripture at the door, is referring to this one."
Michael translated,
"It was a warning Sir. Never to open nor touch what's inside. I'm not sure but this indicates 10 days, that's all. The scripture following it is damaged so we don't what does it mean."
Roger was more curious of what's inside. As to ease his curiousity, he ordered his men to open it. 4 men were in position opening it and there were also 4 armed men in position giving them support pointing their guns towards the sarcophagus. A moment of silence fell, they slowly started pushing the stone lid. An eerie tufts of smoke started coming out. The armed men started stepping back and some gulped. Roger and Cyclops were wary what's inside as they hold their guns in their holsters. As the eerie smoke vanished, there they saw a a black drained skinned preserved corpse wearing an armor plate made of gold holding a staff with a red glowing gem on top and gold rings with diamonds all over its 10 fingers. But what them happy was the crown made of gold with diamonds on it.
Roger started laughing, went closer to Michael and patted his shoulder.
"Hahahaha, it's only a dead corpse. There's nothing to worry about the Never to open nor touch. Hahahahaha" Then he turned around and added,
"Boys, you know what to do. Take those treasures, get those gold armor, that golden diamond crown whatever it's called. Leave the corpse behind."
The armed men also laughed,
"Copy sir!!!"
Michael and Adam was puzzled of what the ancient scripture was pointing out. They look at each other like they were confused. Roger saw their faces and smiled,
"Don't be disappointed, we already have the treasures. Don't worry, you've done your part. You'll get your share once we leave this island."
Michael and Adam were confused, they thought that something must be wrong. The warning was not to open nor touch but seeing the armed men touching the preserved corpse... Nothing happened.
"Maybe we're just thinking too much Adam, as long as there's treasure our hard work is paid."
Michael said to Adam.
Roger was smoking facing the pit just 10 meters from the sarcophagus. He was suddenly lost in thought,
(Why would there be a pit from this place.Hmm, it's suspicious. This wide pit, there's something wrong."
To confirm his suspicion, he immediately grabbed a night vision goggles from one of his men. As he wore it and seeing what's down the pit, he dropped the cigarette on his mouth. He frozed for a minute.
Cyclops noticed Roger not moving from his position so he went closer to him.
"Sir, is something wrong?"
Roger snapped out of it when he heard Cyclops voice and gulped. He tooked out the night vision googles and then passed through Cyclops.
"Cyclops, see for youself."
Cyclops was confused of what he meant so he took the night vision goggles from Roger's hand and immediately wore it, he gulped,
"Are these..... No, no. Impossible."
Roger's eyes became serious,
"Inform all the men to move faster. We cannot stay long from this place. There's something wrong on this island."
Cyclops understood of what he meant so he immediately turned around and began ordering their men.
"Move faster! We cannot stay long! Double time!!! You, call all the men outside to help. We need to leave this place immediately!"
The armed men were confused but doesn't care about it, they were only focused on the treasures. Michael was confused, he went to Roger and asked.
"What's wrong Sir Roger? Cyclops just now..."
Roger interrupted him when he was about to finish his sentence by giving the night vision goggles to him. Michael knew they saw something down the wide pit which was 50 meters depth. As soon as he wore it, he falled down with his butt on the ground. He was trembling in fear.
Roger understand of his actions,
"Go back at the tent and pack your things. Wait for us at the ship. Don't tell the others to avoid panic."
Michael who was on the ground crawled back then stood up walking towards Adam. After explaining to Adam, they immediately went back to their tent.
