Fate01: Meeting
"It's an honor to have you in our small town, High Priest of Pharaoh." A brunet man that enter a mansion, escort by a few old people just nod boringly. One of the old man starts talking with the brunet about they-know-what. The High Priest just listen them, with non-concentration. After a few minutes, feel like a few hours, they show the brunet his rest room and leave him.
"DAMN, Atemu! Why did you send me in this boring town?! It's supposed to be your duty!" Seth murmured and sits at his bed.
\flashback\
"Seth. Could you help me with something?" Pharaoh asks his cousin while they in High Priest's library. Seth who is reading didn't avert his eyes from the book he read.
"I don't want to replace you in any meeting." The library felt in silence. "I guess I'm right"
"Ooo, Seth… Please… This is a last time I ask you for something like this!" The young king begged.
"No, Atemu. That's your duty to attend the meeting. I'm not the one who holds people. I'm just a priest who assists you in governance." Seth replied while sliding his book.
"Please, Seth. You see, actually, I …" Seth avert to Pharaoh's face that seems a bit dread.
"Don't say you promised Isis to go to somewhere." Again, the library felt in silence.
"Oh, Ra! What're you thinking schedule two meeting in the same time?!!! You're killing yourself!!!" Seth outburst while Atemu try to find words to confront his High Priest.
"No, Seth! I've told Isis that I have meeting at Hermopolis. But, Isis still forces me to go to Mempis. That's why, I need you to replace me in meeting at Hermopolis. I know you don't like to sit with old mans, but, please…" Atemu try to begging Seth. Seth signed hardly. Its truth that he don't like to be in any meeting and heard the member, mostly old mans babbling about they-know-what. It's boring.
"This better be the last boring meeting that I attend." Seth said while turn back to his book. Atemu cheered.
"Thank you, Seth. I owned you one."
"Yes, you are." Pharaoh walks to entrance door and stop.
"You know, Seth. Isis said something before she leaves."
"What? She told not to forget the souvenir?"
"No. She said 'Someone is waiting.'."
"Hmmm… Prediction. Screw it."
"Maybe. Anyway, what do you mean by souvenir? I never though Isis fond with something like that."
"Secret makes woman women." Seth replied simply. The young king just smiles and walks out from library.
/end flashback/
"'Someone is waiting'? Hope not someone who annoying me. Like them." Seth mumbled while get up to take a shower.
!xxxxx!
Atemu just arrived at Mempis with Mahado, his personal guard. They have been greeting by Mempis's leader.
"It's being bless from Ra that you could arrive here safely, Pharaoh. We welcome you with our heart and hoping you'll enjoy staying here." The leader bowed politely to Atemu.
"It's my pleasure to be here to meet my people who need me." Pharaoh replied it sincerely.
"Thank you for your concern, Pharaoh Atemu. While you here, I'll have my grandson to show you around." Mutou said while escort his guests to their room.
"Thanks." Mutou bowed and leave them to have a rest. Atemu turn to Mahado. "When will the meeting start?"
"After dawn."
"Hmmm…" Atemu glare outside the window. Suddenly, he grinned. "Hei, Mahado. Do you want to take a bath?" Atemu asked. Mahado who's still looking at him, blinked. And he smirked, like he knows what the young Pharaoh thinking.
"Go and rest your mind, Pharaoh. But, remember to stay alert. We don't know what'll happen when you careless." Mahado replied and take off his robe. He lies down on the bed, try to get a rest.
"Don't worry, Mahado. I'll behave myself." Atemu also take off his robe, showing his tanned bare chest. In his neck, hang the jewelries that define his status as a royal prince. He wears a gold tunic around his waist. His wrists were covered with gold bracelets. He step out from the room and walks to place that could give his mind a peace.
!xxxxx!
"In the end of our meeting…" The old man that looks like a leader summarizes their discussion. Seth just looks at the talker boringly. He yawned secretly. 'Oh, Ra! This meeting is so DAMN boring!' He signed in his mind. When everything is over, they dismissed. Seth walk to his room, and been greet by a young man.
"Greeting, High Priest." Young man with white hair that grows on his shoulder, tanned skin, wearing cream tunic around his waist and a long red cape on his body smirked. He's browsing things at High Priest currently room.
"Go get your own room, Tomb Robber." Seth passed Bakura without looking at him.
"Cool down, High Priest." Bakura sit in the end of bed. Seth takes off his robe and tossed it on the chair that located near him. He rest on the sofa besides his bed.
"What do you want? If you want the millennium rod, I won't give you." Seth said. He lends his head and massages his temples.
"Look like you have a headache. What a troublesome old mans." Bakura chuckled.
"If you know, don't forget to leave whatever you took." Bakura signed. He take out a gold glass studded with gems and put it back to where it original belongs.
"So, replacing that corrupted Pharaoh again, huh. What a luck." Bakura snicker.
"If you want to babbling, do it on someone else. It's enough for me to dealing with corrupted old mans in one day. I'm tired to dealing with corrupted people like you."
"Hmmm… Your mouth still doesn't know how to behave. Same like its owner."
"Whatever." High Priest stands and makes his way to the bathroom. The young thief takes back the glass and put it in his cape's pocket. Then, he continues browsing the room to take anything seen valuable as 'souvenir'.
"Do you want to walk at town? I can show you the way." Bakura asked the brunet while laborious his selected 'souvenir'. The water's sound can be heard from the bathroom.
"No need. I go alone if I want too. I don't want to be seen with such as person like you." Seth replied from the bathroom. Bakura just smirked. He tries to reach millennium rod near High Priest's robe. Then, suddenly been interrupted by a sound. "Don't you dare touch my thing. Or you'll be suffering for the rest of your life." Seth steps out from the bathroom with danger stare. His hair wet and he wearing plain yellow tunic. Bakura puts both of his hand in the air, away from the High Priest's property.
"Obsessive, I see." Bakura walk to the window. "Then, I should go now. Send my greeting to Pharaoh." Bakura jumped out from the window.
Seth walks to the window that Bakura used for escape. Then, he kicked something on the floor. A gold spoon with its stub been studded with a red gem. 'Thinking that Tomb Robber run with empty hand is such a waste of time.' Seth looks outside. He can see the town from his room. Everyone seems busy with their business. Children are running everywhere.
"This town seems alive." Seth murmured. 'And it's not a bad idea for walking.' Seth changes his tunic and wears his jewelries and bracelets. He grabs his robe and steps out of the room.
!xxxxx!
Atemu enter a room that covered with fog. It's hot bathroom. He looks around and amaze with wall's decoration that show the art of a sea. The room is big but not too big compared to his. There's no one there except him. He stripped his tunic and wrapped his waist using the towel that the servant gave him when he asked this place. He takes off the jewelries and bracelets, and his millennium item, leaving him naked, except for those that covered with towel. The tri-colored king touches the water with his left legs to feel the water temperature. When he satisfied with it, he steps inside the water and sits in the edge of the pool.
"Hmmm…This is good. Hope Mahado can join me." Atemu said while close his eyes, feeling the resurrection of his strength. He opens his eyes and play with the water.
"I wonder what Seth is doing, now… I hope he can enjoy himself, even with the babbling old mans." Atemu smirked. He stares at the water.
\flashback\
"What do you mean, Isis?" Pharaoh asked his High Priestess who can see the past and future of people he desire. Isis smile at Atemu, who confused with Isis's words.
"Don't worry, Pharaoh. The meeting is a step to know yourself. You met everyone, but only some could reach out to you. Don't afraid of them, because it's what your deep heart desire." Isis replied and leaves the young king more confusing.
/end flashback/
"Knowing myself? Isn't ourselves know it better?" Atemu splashes the water to his body.
!xxxxx!
Hermopolis town is busy with peoples. On the street, many sellers are selling their things. Seth walk pass them while his eyes look their items. Even everything that they sold is valuable, Seth didn't seem interest in them. In his chamber, he has many things that are priceless. It's because High Priest want something that only belong to him, a rare and precious items. His interest sometimes can be compare with Bakura.
Tap. Tap.
The High Priest walks until the end of the street market and find himself at an empty alley.
Tap. Tap.
!xxxxx!
Atemu sinking himself into the water. After awhile, he gets back to the surface. His hairs that stand up like a flash seems a little down and mess because of the water.
Tap! Tap!
"I think it's enough for today. I should prepare myself with the meeting." The young king bellowed with his hand on the air.
Tap! Tap!
!xxxxx!
Tap. Tap
Seth turns to get back to his way to the mansion.
Tap. Tap.
!xxxxx!
Tap! Tap!
Atemu stepped out from the spring and make his way to his clothes.
Tap! Tap!

In the same time, fates of uncertainty have been bind.
!xxxxx!
The High Priestess looked at the sky outside his window chamber.
"What's wrong, sister?" A teen with a sandy-blond hair asked, watching his sister's strange behavior. Isis looks down to his young brother who has an open book in his lap and smiled.
"Nothing, Marik." Isis said and looking at the sky again. "Uncertainty fates have been plaited."
