The Journey of Chaos
Western Academy of Beijing , Zhou , Sophia -9
Oliver hated being trapped in his room , well it isn ’ t exactly his room , but after what has happened , doesn ’ t the Parker family own this ship ? He wasn ’ t grounded , and he was only locked in his room because something was wrong , perhaps another swarm of Chaos ? He stared at his pen and watch , which seemed back to normal , then lay on his bed , on top of his comforter , he wasn ’ t planning to sleep , he wouldn ’ t be able to even if he tried . But as if the entire world was against him , he was started dreaming without sleeping .
The flashback seemed so real : “ He was above decks , marking out the fastest route to Egypt with his pen . Suddenly he felt an icy gust of wind , perhaps something evil , taking over him . It went deeper than his skin , unlike normal wind , it went inside his heart , for a second he felt like it was taking over him , then he felt free of the evil , it collected in his watch , then disappeared entirely from him . When he focused on the crew , he noticed that their bodies were still flesh , but it seemed , well , much more chaotic , the entire ship filled with chaos , there would have been a shipwreck if it wasn ’ t for him . He sensed something powerful on his map when he turned to look , but it was just a plastic knife for cutting play-doh , it was weird , yes , Louis suspected that his pen got turned into that knife . ‘ The knife isn ’ t going to help me ,’ he thought , and decided to fight the chaos with his bare hands , but his hands passed right through the chaos , it was an idiotic idea , but he didn ’ t have any better ones , Oliver reached for the knife , stabbed the chaos … and it felt like Oliver was cutting play-doh ! Fortunately , after tons of hard work , he destroyed the chaos , with the help of the ocean ’ s current , washing it somewhere near Wales . Unfortunately , he was forced to kill those innocent people .”
So what is he doing here in the middle of an ocean ? For a class project , Oliver ’ s teacher asked everyone in the class to go somewhere with an impressive background for Winter Break ; his family decided that Egypt is the place for them , it has a lot of history , and is known as “ The start of civilization .”
Oliver fell off his bed , and for the first time , he was grateful for it , because it ‘ knocked ’ him into reality . His parents were at his door , ‘ maybe they aren ’ t going to hide anything from me !’ Mr . Parker gestured for him to follow them , and bring the pen and watch with him . As they settled down in his parents ' room , Oliver was just about to ask about everything , but Mrs . Parker beat him to it , “ Look at the watch , do you see some symbols on its strap ?”
Oliver was puzzled , “ Yeah , one that looks like a jackal , followed by another one with three things stacked on top of each other , then two jackal-headed men .” “ Yes , that ' s Set ’ s name written in hieroglyphs , hieroglyphs are like Egyptian words , and Set is the Egyptian god of chaos .”
“ I ’ m guessing it ’ s supposed to protect me from chaos , the pen ?”
Mr . Parker chimed in , “ The pen turns into something that could help the owner defeat something that is not visible to normal people , for example , the chaos .” Oliver didn ’ t get it , “ May I ask , why are they with me ?”
“ You see , our family comes from a long line of pharaohs , these two priceless artifacts have been passed on from generation to generation , until Thutmose the third , when they got lost , no one ever thought they could ever be found again , until one day I found it on an archaeological dig .” Oliver knew that his mom is an Egyptologist and his dad is an archeologist , but never knew that his family had so strong a bond with Egypt .
Two days until the Parkers got to Egypt , hopefully , nothing will get in their way on those two days . Of course , as usual , things didn ' t work out for them .
