02:16Unless they reseal the creature, humanity is doomed.
02:19The marking Lena discovers a scar on her wrist shaped like an eye, burned into her skin since the tomb's opening.
02:26The mark allows her to see glimpses of the mummy's past.
02:29Once a high priest condemned for betraying the gods, buried alive and cursed to burn forever.
02:34His goal is not conquest, but annihilation to burn the world as he burned.
02:40The mummy strikes the mummy hunts Lena through London's underground tunnels.
02:44Its body is half-human, half-charred bone, wrapped in molten bandages that smolder like fire.
02:50Every surface it touches ignites or rots instantly.

02:59The mummy grows stronger with each soul it consumes.
03:02The Order of the Burning Eye, a secret cult, emerges, worshipping the mummy as Set's chosen avatar.
03:08They carve their bodies with fire-scorched runes, offering themselves willingly to be devoured.

03:50You are mine.

04:17seeking the tomb of Set hidden beneath the Valley of the Kings.
04:20Inside, she finds murals depicting a ritual of sacrifice, binding the mummy with a mortal soul.
04:27The markings on her arm glow as the tomb walls tremble.
04:30The truth becomes clear.
04:32Lena was chosen not to kill the mummy, but to become its prison.
04:35The burning sands the mummy and its cult pursue Lena into the desert.
04:38At night, the dunes rise like waves, swallowing whole caravans.
04:43The cult chants in ecstasy as the mummy's power grows, creating burning tornadoes of sand.
04:49Lena flees into the tomb, finding weapons forged with divine metal glowing faintly in the darkness.
04:55They are humanity's last chance.
04:57Showdown in the tomb, the mummy enters the tomb, its presence shattering stone walls.
05:01Lena wields the divine blade, hacking through hordes of cultists.
05:04The mummy tears through traps effortlessly, regenerating each wound.
05:09Harrow reappears, pleading for Lena to join them, but she drives the blade through his chest.
05:15His body crumbles to ash as the mummy roars in rage.
05:18The ritual of fire Lena performs the ancient ritual,
05:22chanting words she doesn't understand as the blade glows with white fire.
05:26The mummy lunges, clawing her body, breaking bones.
05:29She forces the blade into its chest, but it only grows more powerful, absorbing the fire.
05:34The only way to finish the ritual is to bind herself willingly.
05:38She hesitates, then accepts her fate.
05:41Sacrifice Lena plunges the blade into her own heart, fusing her soul with the mummies.
05:46Their bodies merge into a horrifying half-human, half-burning corpse.
05:50For a moment, she sees into its mind the endless torment of burning alive for eternity.
05:56Her scream merges with its roar as the tomb explodes in blinding fire.
06:01The silence after the desert is quiet.
06:03The cult lies in ruins, burned to dust.
06:05The sandstorms vanish, leaving scorched earth.
06:08Soldiers find the tomb collapsed with no sign of Lena or the mummy.
06:13The Necronomicon-like blade is missing.
06:15Survivors whisper that the gods have finally claimed their vengeance.
06:19The world reacts, cities begin rebuilding,
06:21but whispers spread of new plagues and distant lands.

06:39Lena's awakening deep beneath the desert.
06:41Lena awakens in darkness, her body fused with sand and ash.
06:45Her eyes glow like fire as whispers echo in her head.
06:48She realizes she is neither fully human nor fully monster.
06:52The gods gave her a choice.
06:54Protect the world or burn it.
06:56She screams, the sand trembling around her.
06:59Epilogue, the burning eye in a distant temple cult survivors kneel before a shrine man.
07:03A single eye, carved from obsidian, opens within the sand.
07:07A voice whispers, the prison is weak.
07:10Soon the fire will rise again.
07:12The camera pans upward, showing endless dunes shifting as though breathing.
07:15The mummy is not dead.
07:16It is waiting.
07:17It is waiting.
