[h3][url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/scientists-reveal-hidden-corridor-in-great-pyramid-of-giza/articleshow/98368353.cms?from=mdr]“A hidden corridor - [i]30 feet long[/i] - has been discovered close to the main entrance of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza…”[/url][/h3]

Was the printout in a [color=red][b]TOP-SECRET[/b][/color] folder slapped on the table, the kitchen already charged with an archeologist’s passion in the de Villiers' household.

What was initially going to be a family trip to take care of the Louvre’s request to look into this [i]‘Void of the Great Pyramid of Giza’[/i] would instead turn into the de Villiers’ greatest discovery, and worst fears. The Great Pyramid of Giza had been well-trodden by tourists around the world, but none knew if the secrets it held just out of sight, buried behind granite stone for over 4,000 years…

This family trip with the head of the household, Thierry Claude de Villiers, his wife, Sabrina Lennox-de Villers, and his three children, Aurélie, Theo, and Cosette, would shake the very foundations of what it meant to be a family.

With evil lurking just out of sight, the feud between the Louvre and HiveMind would be born out of this excavation, the lure of treasure and secrets untold too much to bear for the world’s greatest ravenous seekers of knowledge.

Would the family make it home in one piece? Or would this close the chapter on the tragic tale of the dark, untold story of the de Villiers family?

The story of [i]‘Adventures in Candyland’[/i] exist 7 years before the events of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/191426-the-dark-beyond/ic][i]‘The Dark Beyond’[/i][/url]. The current state of the world is spiraling out of control, where air pollution is on the rise, and the demand for cleaner energy sources is pulling the world apart in a heated debate against coal and oil sources, to other alternatives. At this point in time, the existence of dark energy is not universally known.
