Beetle Dream

From the few dreams a still remember, there’s one in special, which I am not sure if it was actually real or just a fantasy running through my thoughts. It was a windy night, in the middle of the dessert, I saw myself walking beside the waters of the Nile. It was a warm summer night, the moonlight next to me.
When I decided to turn around and go back home, I heard a noise, it sounded like a cricket, or was it a wild animal? It seemed to be wing’s noise, or maybe something hiding from his predator… pretty normal I guess. I started walking. The noise came back, harder and harder, so I run, as fast as I could but the wings were closer and closer when I heard a voice telling me “I’ve been watching you, I know the type of man you are and I have a mission for you” I actually didn't believe it, not at all, and that night everything begun…
First everything was black, when I saw I light, not any light, it was a really shiny purple light, something wrong was happening to me, but when I tried to wake up, something took me back to the light. I started hearing some more noises, just as the one I heard earlier the same day, when I realized it came from a beetle, A huge black beetle, like in the stories my dad used to tell me about their pharaohs.
I started to run but the insect was smarter, and I have to say, it was even faster than me, like he could read my thoughts and be warned of my options to escape, then he talked to me, just like before, he told me something will happen, he needs to go back to the Nile and find a magic box with a necklace in it, it was green color, shiny green and full of gold, that supposedly it belonged to an old ancestor of his.
I couldn’t believe it! It was a dream or something is wrong with my head for sure! But this beetle message never disappeared, I started to hear about it every day, every chance I could, and for a week, night after night; there’s when I started thinking about it, what if I look after this family treasure?
The 10th night when the beetle appeared I asked him for help, I needed to get a map from him, or directions but I needed to prove if my beliefs were wrong. So I tried, and it actually worked, I got both, a map a really old map which appeared next to my bed the next morning.
Here is how I accept the mission, how difficult could it be to find something an old man hide from others not to find it and keep it for the eternity. I woke up the next day, I picked up some clothes and packed some food, I will go exploring even if I have to get to the pyramids!
As difficult as it got, the less I wanted to continue it was a silly idea I don't even know what will it happen if I find the necklace.
I walked the whole day and I was tired of keep going under the sun, I just needed some sleep, food and water, suddenly I found a place to stay the night, near an oasis where a met I really nice man who was exploring the zone, at the beginning I wasn't really sure of talking about the necklace, he may think I am just dreaming awake or lying.
But after a couple of hour talking he told me about one of his trips to North Africa where he heard a story about an ancient family, their bodies remain in a pyramid and of course all their jewels and valuable stuff but the legend says that this man gave his wife a magnificent necklace as a present which only she was able to use. After she died the man kept the necklace on a secret place and protect it with a magic spell in which only the descendent of the family will be able to find the treasure and prove their right to the throne. I was really amazed about the story but could it be truth?
When I told him I had a dream similar to his story he said it could not be a simple coincidence, that the spirits of the desert where trying to communicate me a message and that the Beetle was used as a symbol for this family during their years on the throne.
That day I had a dream, the beetle came back with a landscape behind him where this old family used to live, also some of the scenes the explorer describe for me, like when the wife died and the man took care of a great funeral and when he took her most valuable jewels specially the necklace and hid them, also when he found a magician to put a spell on the necklace before hiding it from the rest of the world.
So I had nothing to loose if I find it maybe it really means something; is it possible for me to be part of a royal family? Or is it just a story, after all, that could mean the dreams may stop and I can keep living a normal life as always.
To be continue...
