In a palace surrounded by sand a boy of pale skin gazed out into the surrounding town smiling sadly to himself. 'They're all here for the Pharaoh none wish to see the cursed Prince. The gods must hate me and favor my brother more.' the boy was to turn fifteen when the sun hit the horizon the same for his brother. They were twins but born from different mothers though the Pharaoh doesn't know only the boy currently dressing in simple clothes placing the small silver band with the Royal seal on it.
Considering the glass mirror the boy sighed he looked like one of the servants had it not, been for the silver band on his arm he would have been sold away long ago by the council for their great dislike of a pale skinned Prince in the Royal Family, a stain in an otherwise perfect blood line. "It's now or never, Yami, time to see Atem." Yami left his room turned down several halls and entered the ballroom through a hidden entrance behind the throne coming to his brother's side. "I see you could finally come to our party Yami." The bored figure said his head leaning into his closed hand out of boredom. "They are here to see you brother not me most people but our own and our allies don't even know I exists. Have the witches come yet brother?"
"thankfully not yet, do you mind waiting here until I return I need a break and to see if everything is ready for when we eat." Yami shook his head no as Atem left to see if the preparations were done and to get some fresh air. A few minutes after Atem left two women and a guard entered walking up to the Dias until Yami stopped them "my ladies you aren't allowed up here only the Pharaoh, his family and court are allowed up here." Yami told them straight into their eyes. The first showed a face of disgust and the second wasn't paying any attention to him. "Ushio remove this trash from our sight she will be punished accordingly for stopping the Queens to see Atem."
"of course, my Queens." the guard reached out and grabbed Yami tightly by the arm as the other female plucked his band from his other arm. "let go of me!" Yami shouted as he was pulled out of the room toward the dungeon trying to get free from Ushio's hold. His head snapped to the side and a stinging sensation was left on his cheek. "shut up wench you should know when to obey your handlers." the grip on Yami's arm tightened as they continued, once there Yami was pressed into a wall his tunic torn off giving a back as white as snow before the bite of leather hitting skin caused him to scream in pain and struggling to get away from it.
"you've been a bad slave, girl, and must be punished for disobeying the hand that feeds you." the sentence grew shorter as the punishment continued. He was then flipped to his front with insults and atrocities drilled into his head. His last piece of clothing was ripped off him when he was flipped once again as something hard penetrated him causing him to scream out his already horse throat. Yami's vision tunneled as did the sound when a door was thrown open and a blurred figure stood shouting something as warm liquids dripped down Yami's thighs "everything's going to be alright big brother's going to make it all better." that line was repeated softly in his ear his back feeling his brother take the next few hits before darkness took over his vision into unconsciousness.
should I leave it here?.
Earlier with Atem
After Atem left the throne room he let out a breath he was holding as he tried to walk off his boner with little success. Moving to the balcony he took out his gift for his little brother it was a simple silver necklace with his personal mark of a blooming rose in spring. After gazing at the stars, he went back inside something feeling off very off but once he saw Tèa and Vivian draped over his throne with no brother in sight he growled lowly "Lady Tèa and Vivian what are you doing on my throne none but my brother and I are aloud up here."
"we know Atem but your brother Seth has not bothered to stop us only a pale slave girl who is being punished for being up here with your soon to be queens." Atem paled a bit setting Tèa off with an uneasy feeling "describe this slave for me now." Atem said with conviction lacing his voice. "she was short tri colored hair pale skin crimson amethyst eyes wearing simple clothes and a silver band on her arm probably stolen from your brother Seth's room." Atem snatched the out stretched object paling more when he recognized it from earlier on his brother's arm before he left. "guards take these two to their rooms do not let them leave. Someone get me one of the tracking hounds in the meantime someone find my twin brother!" Atem ordered the guards while Vivian and Tèa were shaking with fear as a black fire licked at the Pharaoh's body responding to his anger.
A blue-eyed brunette came up seeing the situation immediately "Atem calmed down now think where would they take someone to be punished and held until they learn their lesson?" Seth asked worry laced his voice blaming himself for not keeping a closer eye on the crown Prince. The flames calmed to nothing as Atem then raced out of the room heading to the dungeon a place he forbids Yami from ever entering. Undoing his cloak, he ran down the steps only to stop dead in his tracks Ushio was crouched over a heavily whipped Yami chained so he stood against the stone wall blood dripped down Yami's body pooling underneath him. Ushio then grabbed the whip again along with another blind rage in his eyes "NO STOP!" before Atem could think he was in front of Yami whispering calming words taking the next few blows as his little brother went limp.
Boiling anger raked his very being as black fire surrounded them burning right through the metal chain holding Yami against the wall. A sudden cold breeze blew around them as a pure white dome of frost covered the two unconscious brothers as Ushio turned into frozen ash and bone. Seth entered the room finding only a pile of ashes and a frost globe protected by black flames, he walked right through the flames and frost taking a step back at seeing the conditions the twins were in. Yami laid underneath Atem nude frost covered his wounds stopping the bleeding while the elder looked completely worn out slightly thinner like he burned through all his strength. But what frightened him was the wounds on Yami disappearing and reappearing on Atem's body leaving no marks on Yami. "someone get me Isis quickly the Pharaoh is injured along with the Prince!" Seth shouted moving Atem on to his side and covering Yami's form with Atem's cape.
That was four years ago, the now nineteen-year-old prince was looking out his window once bright crimson amethyst eyes dull his body unhealthily thin as a twig. He never spoke since that day his mind slowly regressing into a forgetful and childish state fading from the once serious personality into an easily scared and frightened one. A soft knock on his door let him know someone was coming in turning his head slightly he saw an unknown servant girl bringing food and drink placing it on the table bowed then left not saying a word. Looking to the food a hungry growl came from his empty belly waving a hand a creature comprised of snow got the drink and brought it to him. Downing the drink in a few gulps Yami felt very dizzy and disorientated dropping the cup from his hands, collapsing sideways he hit his head hard on the sill he was trying to support himself on ending up on his side and slipping into a dreamless sleep.
Waking up in an unfamiliar room recognizing nothing as his own Yami sat confused on where he was looking for something familiar mostly his brother. A white rabbit hopped into his vision tilting its head before running out the open door with Yami following the rabbit chasing after it. Yami chased it around the palace running after the rabbit startling all the servants who knew the Prince was to weak to walk much less run. The rabbit slipped through the jarred doors to the throne room causing Yami to bit his lip that meant Father was holding court and didn't want him or Atem in side overhearing something they shouldn't. That is until Yami heard his brother yelling causing his heart to flutter and his face to resemble a pink rose cautiously Yami peeked inside seeing Atem sitting on the throne board out of his gourd and a little miffed that is until the snow rabbit hopped down from the top of the throne onto his brother's head Atem not feeling a thing as the rabbit made itself a nest. Holding a hand to his mouth to stop himself from laughing Yami couldn't contain it much long and neither could the other court members as they struggled to contain their laughter as well.
Seth decided to cut his cousin a break and pointed to his bewildered cousin's hair looking up his eyes meet with the snow rabbits before it jumped down and into pale arms "Yami? Is that you?" Atem called out causing the pale arms to freeze until a shy and thin twin brother came out from his hiding stop holding the rabbit like a stuffed toy in his arms. "Até where's Papa you were only to take the throne over for a few days until Papa got better?" Yami asked seeing the slightly bigger crown on his half-brother's forehead. Atem looked over his brother's form seeing the small gash on his brother's temple but it was quite deep. "Yami what's the last thing you remember ?"
"Papa collapsing after our morning ridding lessons he summoned me later to tell me about our mothers." Yami said looking every where but his brother's eyes that had went wide "mothers?" Atem said shocked from what he was hearing almost afraid for what will happen since law gave children the mother's title and status in society. "Papa fell in love with identical twin slave girls but could only give one the throne so the girls would swap places every so often. confused the heck out of Papa especially when both became pregnant."
