Children of the Pharaoh

by Latest Night

What if Mana and Atem had two year old twins when he sacrificed himself for Egypt and they were 'blessed' by the gods with immorality to watch over his tomb with the Ishtars. Five thousand years later they're posing as Yugi's distant cousins. Would this change the series or would everything stay the same?

1. Prologue

I do not own the characters or plot of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. I only own my own characters.

Everyone thought that Pharaoh Atem and Mana were best friends. It is true that they were, but there was more to it than that. To put it simply, they were together. Mana eventually became pregnant and had twins, a girl named Anumet who had her mother's green eyes and father's black hair with natural red highlights and blonde fringe, and a boy named Aten who had his father's purple eyes and mother's brown hair. The only people who knew that the children were theirs were Aknamkanon and Mahad. Everyone else thought that they were orphans that Mana had found on her training with Mahad.

When the twins were two, Atem became Pharaoh. Unfortunately, not long into his rein, the Thief King, who the twins never learnt the name of, came wanting revenge for his village being destroyed to make the Millennium Items. Atem fought him and to save Egypt from the horrors of the shadow, sacrificed himself to lock the darkness away. Priest Seto, now known to be the cousin of Atem, then became Pharaoh.

The twins grew up within the palace and not saying a word about being the children of Atem, as they were taught to do.

When they were sixteen, the twins went to the Valley of the Kings to make sure that no one had disturbed their father's tomb only to be caught in a sandstorm, cut off from the path back to the village and blessed by the gods to watch over their father's tomb with a group called the Tomb Keepers.

For the next five thousand years they did as the gods asked and watched over the tomb. That was until a man named Solomon Muto discovered the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle and took them out of the tomb. The twins then confronted Solomon and agreed to let him take the puzzle back home with him to Domino City as long as the two of them went with him and lived as distant family members of his.

Agreeing, Solomon took them home with them. There the twins watched as Solomon's grandson Yugi pieced together the puzzle and unlocked the spirit of their now amnesiac father. They followed Yugi on his adventures and were there when he made friends with Joey, Tristan and Téa.

How do I know all of this?

I am Amunet, known as Amy in the modern world, daughter of Mana and Atem, sister of Aten, five thousand years old and now the distant cousin of Yugi Muto who is sharing his body with my father.

And one more thing. Aten and I do not see this 'blessing' from the gods as a blessing but more of a curse. I mean come on, the two of us have seen the years pass by and have watched those we cared about die.

I wonder how this next part of our lives will go.
