(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This RP takes place BEFORE Shadow and Emra are married!)

"Sonic would be so jealous if he knew I was on an adventure without him!" Emra giggled as she turned her flashlight on and followed Knuckles into the now opened pyramid. Knuckles chuckled and shined his flashlight onto the floor.

"Just be careful where you step, Emra," he said. "I've been in enough places like this to know that there are bound to be traps…"

"I uh… guessed that." Emra said, gulping as she and Knuckles passed a skeleton that looked like it had been crushed.

It was one of Emra's first missions without Sonic, or the rest of the team. It was just her and Knuckles, one of her best friends. She had run into him getting ready to leave to explore this pyramid, and she asked if she could accompany him. He said yes, of course, knowing, though not admitting, that he may need help, just in case. Knuckles carefully stepped over a suspicious looking floor panel, then helped Emra over the same one. Emra looked at a bunch of hieroglyphics on the walls as they walked.

"So what are we looking for?" she asked.

"Not really sure, I think we'll know it when we see it…" Knuckles said, stopping a moment to look at the drawings for a moment, taking off his backpack and starting to rummage through it. Emra held her light up so he had more to see by, and she smiled as she looked at all the strange markings, one of them depicting an echidna being slain by another with a spear, and another hieroglyphic depicting a giant vulture attacking a pair of echidna, their eyes apparently clawed out. Emra shivered and looked at Knuckles.

"Are all of these hieroglyphics in these ancient pyramids so… dark?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, these pyramids are very dark. So I always remember to pack batteries." Knuckles said, not paying attention to Emra. "Flashlights can die a little too easily when you're down here for several hours…"

"That's not what I was asking…" Emra said bluntly, pointing to the hieroglyphics. Knuckles looked at her, then at where she was pointing.

"…I knew that," he said, and walked forward for a closer look. "Actually… not really, I don't think I've seen these many runes depicting so much death before…" He rubbed his chin and delicately ran a hand over the drawing. "Strange, really…"

"Is it normal to be creeped out about this?" Emra asked.

"Yeah, usually." Knuckles said. "Well, we'd better get moving, I have a feeling we'll have a lot of passages to cover down here."

Knuckles picked up his backpack and put it back on, then started to walk, with Emra following. As the two went deeper though, the tunnels got wider and wider, and more and more twisted, so that their lights were the only thing besides the darkness and whatever artifacts they stumbled upon.

"Gosh, these tunnels…" Emra said. "They're so winding!"

"Very. They're so twisted because it was supposed to distract evil spirits from finding and stealing the soul of whoever was buried in these pyramids." Knuckles replied.

"You said there weren't going to be any mummies buried down here!!" Emra exclaimed through a squeak and a shiver.

"I said I didn't know if there were going to be any mummies!" Knuckles said back. "And I still don't."

"So… there's really no way of telling just… what exactly, might be down here?" Emra asked.

As if by a cruel twist of fate, their flashlights went dead. Emra froze and held in a scream, and then sighed in relief as Knuckles pulled out a camping lantern that he had brought as a spare until they could replace the batteries in their flashlights. He lit it and turned up the oil, to make it brighter as he chuckled.

"See?" he asked. "Lose track of time and your batteries die on you without warning!"

"Y-Yeah…" Emra rubbed the back of her neck, then knelt down with Knuckles to locate the batteries inside the backpack.

"I know they're here somewhere…" Knuckles grumbled. Emra bit her lip, then her ears twitched suddenly, causing her to look up and around, eyes wide. She grabbed Knuckles' shoulder.

"Knuckles… do you hear something?" she whispered. He rolled his eyes.

"Its just…" he stopped himself before he could say 'your imagination', because he was hearing something…

Footsteps…
New RPS... Villain plz... I'm sleepy...

RULES:
1. Let me know if any characters are new.
2. Absolutely NO sexual communication in the Role Play! (Strong flirting is okay, but NO sex!)
3. Pay special attention to this rule. A lot of times when I Role Playing with someone, and they are using a villain, they will often leave my characters in a hopeless situation that I can’t get out of. So ALWAYS leave a window open so the Role Play can continue fairly for both of us!
4. Another thing that really annoys me about some role plays is when you change them. For example, making them grow or change gender… that’s annoying. Please don’t do it.
5. Have fun!
