The Burden of Destiny and Time

Imhotep: [in Egyptian; in English] I know you can understand me, little one. So you must listen carefully because it is you who are the chosen one. You who will take me to Ahm-Shere.

Alex: What if I don't? What if I get a little lost?

Imhotep: [laughs] You are a strange little one. You are your father's son. But I know something you don't. This bracelet is a gift and a curse. The sands of time have already begun to pour against you.

Alex: Yeah, yeah. I already heard this part. From the minute I put the bracelet on, seven days do I have before the Scorpion King wakes up.

Imhotep: Did you also hear that if you do not enter the pyramid before the sun strikes it on that very morning that the bracelet will suck the life out of you?

Alex: [shocked] That part I missed. Hey, wait a minute, that means I only have five days left!

Imhotep: And I believe it would be nice trying not to get lost, don’t you?

Alex: My dad is going to kick your arse!

Imhotep: [takes off his mask, smirking; Alex gasps and steps back] Hmm. I do not think so.

The Scorpion King's Dark Pact with Anubis

Ardeth Bay: [narrating] Five thousand years ago, a fierce warrior known as the Scorpion King led a great army on a campaign to conquer the known world. After a vicious campaign that lasted seven long years, the Scorpion King and his army were defeated and driven deep into the sacred desert of Ahm Shere. One by one, they slowly perished under the scorching sun, until only the great warrior himself was left alive. Near death, the Scorpion King made a pact with the dark god Anubis, that if Anubis would spare his life and let him conquer his enemies, he would give him his soul. Anubis accepted his offer and spared his life. Anubis gave the Scorpion King command of his army, and like an evil flood, they washed away all that lay before them. When his task was done, Anubis forced the Scorpion King to serve him for all time. His army was returned to the sands from whence they came, where they wait, silently, to be awakened once again.
