Different Hearts, Same Desire
Neferi: Hello everyone this is myfirst fanfic but not my second story. One more thing, in this fanfic there will be Egyptian words, I know many because since I was a child I always liked Egypt. My family and some of my friends gave me encyclopedias and I learned some words and important things about ancient Egypt. At the end of each chapter I'll put a dictionary for all of you to know the meanings of the words.
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO but I do own a few new characters.
Neferi: Please read and enjoy!
Chapter one: By the Nile river
&&
This was a cold night like always in Egypt, but also a nefer one. The dark sky filled with many stars that could be seen clearly and the full moon shimmering, illuminating dark places with her gentle light. All Egypt was in silence, nobody could be seen on the roads or outside, except the guards on the Pharaoh's pero. Seemingly every citizen was sleeping except the Pharaoh who was angry because someone had managed to ruin everything during the day.
"I'm going out" said Yami as he stormed into the giant Hall followed by dyemet annoying Rekh-nesu.
"But my Pharaoh I - ".
"I already told you not to disturb me!, now get out of my sight before I change my mind and lock you in a dungeon" he said looking at the Rekh-nesu angrily "The same goes for you other senu".
Yami kept on walking with a hurried pace through the Hall and out of the pero into the night. He was now on the pero's grounds but when he earlier said out, he meant going out. The young Pharaoh walked towards the pero's gates and ordered for them to be open.
"My Pharaoh we could escort you anywhere you desire" said a guard making a neb.
"No" replied Yami in a cold tone as he walked out.
He let his feet guide him towards the Nile river, not so far from the pero. When Yami approached the river he started walking near its borders. Thinking he would be alone, he kept on walking until he saw someone in the distance sitting by the border of the river. Angrily, he approached the person just to find out that it was a young girl, probably of his same age. She had dark hair that reached some inches below her shoulders and had an elaborate hedj dress. She had senu golden bracelets, ua in each hand, an armlet with the nefer symbol on it and a golden trinket on her head. Her skin was of the same color as his.
'She's clearly family of a high functionary' thought Yami as he looked at her.
The young girl didn't look at him.
"I demand that you state your ren" he then said.
"Mera" answered the girl without looking at him "My ren is Mera".
"You should leave, it's late" said Yami still a little angry.
"If my Pharaoh permits me I would like to stay longer" replied Mera "I need the fresh air".
"Stay if that is what you want" the Pharaoh said irritated.
"Thank you" said Mera.
Then, for some unknown reason, Yami decided to sit with her.
"Why are you out here so late?" he asked.
"I needed to get away" she answered "Maybe the same reason you have to be out here".
"True" replied Yami.
The young girl, still without looking at him let out a deep sigh.
"That came from deep within your heart" said Yami looking at Mera.
"I don't know" replied Mera.
Yami frowned slightly without understanding "You don't know what?".
"Please change of topic" stated Mera.
"Very well, are you family of a high functionary?" he asked.
"Yes my father, he works in your court I believe, his name is Rasejem" she answered.
"Yes he works in my court" replied Yami, not angry neither irritated anymore.
He looked at Mera again and asked "Mera are you feeling well?".
This time she looked at him. The eye contact they made left Yami imprisoned in Mera 's eyes. Her eyes were dark brown, very deep, that in those moments the only thing that could be seen was an immeasurable sadness. When she blinked Yami came out of the trance.
"I shouldn't have looked at you my Pharaoh" said Mera now looking at the mesi.
The Pharaoh looked at her without a word 'I have never seen someone so sad before'.
Then he said "Why are you so sad?".
"Don't worry about me my Pharaoh I will be fine" she answered "Circumstances of the day changed my mood".
That didn't convince Yami at all. He felt there was more to that.
"Lady Mera are you here?" called a male voice near from behind them.
"Yes Narmer 'aru, I'm sitting by the borders of the river" answered Mera.
From between the palm trees appeared a tall man with light brown hair and dark green eyes. He looked at Mera and then at Yami. When he saw the Pharaoh he neb.
"Well my Pharaoh I must leave, my father has sent for me" said Mera standing up.
She also neb and looking to the ground she said "It was an honor being in your presence and also sharing a conversation. Have a good night my Pharaoh".
Mera turned around and followed by Narmer 'aru she left.
'She's a mysterious girl' thought Yami 'And also very nefer. I better be headed back to the pero'.
He stood and walked towards the pero silently and not angry anymore but with curiosity about Mera.
