Chapter 1- How?

It was a hot day in Egypt. Nothing that the High Priest known as Seth wasn't used to by now. Every day the same thing happened. Idiots dumb enough to try to over through Pharaoh Atem were sentenced to death for treason along with many other thieves and criminals. It eventually got boring. Today something would be different, he could feel it.

Later the Pharaoh, Atem, came to his seven sages. He called Seth, Isis, and Shadah before him. "We have a problem." He told them. "What is it, my Pharaoh?" Asked Isis. "There is a man just outside this village said to have sex slaves captive, but this isn't your normal sex trader." "What do you mean?" Asked Shadah. "These 'slaves' are children." Atem said with a deep frown on his face. Seth was appalled. Children as sex slaves? That was disgusting. Seth grimaced. So he was right, today would be different.

Later the four were traveling by horse back and on their way to the base of operation. Once they found it they saw that it was in fact a child whore house. Seth and Isis were sickened. Shadah and Atem were holding back their anger. Outside there were many children doing chores and such with barely any clothes on.

"We're here." Said Atem.

They were told that there were a total of 30 kids here. After Seth and Shadah dealt with the owner of the house the four began to round up the children and hope to find them good homes. Outside they did a head count, only to find that they had only found 29 out of 30 children. Isis knelt down beside a girl with black hair and blonde streaks. Her eyes were jade green. She looked about 7 or 8 years old.

"Hello, my name is Isis. What is yours?"

"I don't have a name. None of us do."

Isis smiled. This was a start. Most children refused to speak.

"Alright, sweetie. We are missing one of the children. Do you know where they are?" She asked gently. The girl nodded. Isis turned to Atem.

"Who do you want to go with her, my Pharaoh?"

Atem thought for a second. He turned to his sages.

"Isis and I will go." He said. "You two stay here." With that he and Isis followed the young girl to find the missing child.

After they left Seth felt strange. Something was drawing him to the house. But what? Suddenly he heard, "Where are you, Seth? I need you!" No, it couldn't be… could it? Seth shook his head then turned to Shadah. "I am going in." Is all he said. Before Shadah could react Seth was gone.

Atem and Isis were shocked to find a hidden room. The little girl began to explain.

"This is the most expensive slave. He is the most beautiful. I rarely saw him but when I did, I couldn't help but agree. His hair is messy but in a way that works for him. His eyes are what catch people's attention. Their gray-blue color is enchanting." The girl said.

Isis and Atem nodded. Finally they found the final door. Atem opened it to find a boy wearing a shirt that barely came to his mid-thigh. His hair was a deep ebony color. The young boy did not seem to hear them. Atem went to put a hand on his shoulder, but the young boy shied away. Atem drew back in order to not startle the boy further. The boy began to try and shrink further into the corner he was in. He refused to show them his face.

Ever since his village was destroyed, he had been alone. He was told that his only living family, his brother, had died in the raid. Ever since he had been a sex slave. One of the rules was he wasn't to look at the customer unless asked. He was scared. Who were these people? The only thing he didn't do was cry. He promised his brother not to cry. He wanted them to leave. Every time he heard one of the other children cried out in pain he silently said, "Help me, brother."

Isis tried to use the Millennium Necklace to see his past and find out his name, but something was blocking it. How though? What kind of outside force was more powerful than her Millennium Necklace? She never heard of such a thing.

Atem tried to put his hand gently on the boy's shoulder again, but the boy pulled away. The Pharaoh sighed.

"Can you tell me your name?"

The boy didn't even acknowledge the older man.

Seth didn't know where he was going. Some unknown voice was taking him the same way as Isis and Pharaoh Atem, but didn't know that. Moments later he finds the door where the force had led him. Opening the door he found something he thought he would never see again. Could it be? Atem turned, confused. Before he or Isis could speak Seth whispered, "Mashovey." As if he didn't trust his eyes.

The little boy looked up.
