After I finished my Seven Deadly Sin's story I thought it was high time I started another segment with Atem and my OC, It took a lot of planning but it was worth it, Enjoy.

Gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Atem was trying to catch the fish that were passing through his feet. It wasn't helping the Egyptian since the intense heat was making it difficult for him to concentrate to get them, but why is Atem, the prince of Egypt, catching fish in a river? Shouldn't the priest Seto order his servants prepare him something delicious from the kitchen and then have that hot meal served to him on his throne.

Sadly that wasn't the case, because one he is not at the palace, and two he's not even in Egypt. He was stranded in the desert in the land of Israel, about one week ago he went in his fathers place to go to Israel to negotiate with the king, Atem's father wasn't feeling well and had to stay behind until he recovered his health. When Atem got to the kingdom many of the citizens were giving him the evil eye, they didn't take kindly to Egyptians since they have a dark history together, the entire Hebrew village was secretly cursing the future pharaoh of Egypt as he was being escorted to the palace. When he entered the palace to meet the pharaoh of Israel to talk about peace between their nations he was immediately furious at the prince's presence, Atem was trying to reason with him but the other king wanted nothing to do with the son of the pharaoh of Egypt nor the country itself and he had sent his guards to go after the boy. Atem ran out of the palace and threw the village where people were throwing rocks at him, he knew he had to get out of the village before he ended up killed.

Atem found himself in the outskirts of Israel, he saw a hut up the hill near a river and thought he would spend the night there until Seto and the royal court can find him. What he didn't know is that someone else was living in that hut, a woman around his age came to the hut and was not happy to see an intruder in her home, and seeing he was Egyptian on top of that just made her even more angry. As the guards were searching for him she was going to turn the Egyptian in but he pleaded to her not to and promised to do what she says. That's when she decided to have a change of heart, she let him stay under the condition that he earned his keep by doing chores around the hut, when Atem was in the clear he asked for the woman's name. She told him her name was Soraya and Atem was shocked that even though he told her he was a prince of Egypt she made him sleep outside of her hut, just because she spared him from getting killed from the guards that doesn't mean she takes kindly to him either.

Today Atem is to catch the fish for dinner to earn his keep and that is why he is in the river, failing miserably at catching the fish with his bare hands. Atem was incredibly hot so he had to take off shirt, he was willing to do anything to keep cool.

Atem sighed and wiped his "This is proving to be difficult, at this rate I doubt I will get any fish tonight for Soraya," Atem's stomach started to growl and he looked annoyed "And that means we won't have any food."

Atem knew Soraya will be upset that he didn't get anything for dinner. She was gone to the village to get some herbs from the market place, she told Atem that he needed to get some fish so when she gets back with the herbs she can cook them something to eat. Only if he caught the fish.

Atem glared at the fish who were swimming around his feet, taunting him and swam by his feet. Atem growled.

"If you think you will win this battle, you are solely mistaken!" Atem tries again to catch hold of the fish.

They were swimming fast and Atem was practically moving everywhere in the water, trying desperately to get the fish, he was still failing miserably and gabbed his spiky hair in frustration.

"Ugh! It's hopless, how am I suppose catch these fish before Soraya returns by sun set!?"

Atem looked at the sun as it was about to set "Soraya will be back soon and I believe when the sun hits that tree in thirty minutes-" Atem stops as he realized something, he was worried about not eating fish if he didn't catch any for Soraya to cook, and the sun will set soon. He had an realization of what this can become, what can help him succeed in his goal for dinner, he suddenly smirked at the fish.

"I think I have an idea to solve this problem," he said, he looks up.

"It's game time!"

Atem had decided to turn this fishing expectation into a game, he already came up with the rules.

"Now the rules are simple," he looks at the fish "I must catch as many of you as possible before the sun hits that tree over there because that is when Soraya will return with her herbs. If I win I get food and If I lose I don't have dinner."

It was obvious to Atem now, this was a real challenge for him. He loved games for as long as he can remember as a child, these fish were like game pieces to him now and since he always won at games he made his chore into one he was confident he was going to win this battle.

As a fish started to move by him he suddenly caught one. He brought the fish up and threw it in the basket.

"That's one." Atem says.

Finally he was winning the fight. He caught a few more fish, when he looked up he saw that the sun was close to hitting the tree and he saw someone coming up the hill. It was a young woman in a brown robe carrying a weaved basket of herbs, Atem was wide eyed.

"Soraya! I better make this quick!" Atem caught four more fish and just needed one more fish. Atem spotted it and was trying to catch it before the Hebrew girl came, However it proved to be difficult since it was very stubborn and had no intentions on becoming food.

"Come on! Almost there!" As Atem was trying to catch the fish, he stepped on something slippery and he began to lose his balance, he gave out a yelp as he fell into the water.

Soraya came back to the hut and set the herbs on the table. She looks around and there was no sign of the Egyptian man anywhere.

"Where is he?" Soraya says "He should be here with the fish."

Soraya heads outside to the river to find him. She told him that he had to catch some fish for dinner and she had to get herbs to make the dish, and if he failed than neither of them will eat. When she got to the river she was surprised to find a full basket of fish, but the question was this: where is Atem?

She saw bubbles coming from the river and narrowed her eyes to get a better view, then something came out of the water. What came up was a wet flop of hair that was black and red with blonde in it, the figure was soak and wet and it wasn't long until the hair unnaturally started spiking up and it splashed onto Soraya, when she opened her eyes she blushed as she saw Atem without his shirt on, revealing his lean and tanned body being kissed by the sunset. The water was streaming his body as his wet blonde strands framed his face as they stuck to his cheeks, Atem had a triumphant smile on his face as he held the fish in his hand.

"I win."
