~~ CHAPTER ONE - Gold with Envy ~~

In the ancient valley of the kings, the city of Cairo, Egypt, stood intrepidly

against the blasting of sandstorms. It was said this city was free from sin, but

apparently that rumour was false...

~Cairo, 2600 B.C.~

"Mother! I don't want to go to scribe studies! I want to see the tombs again!"

whined Seijuu to his mom with a frustrated look.

"Seijuu, you know that when I am gone, you will have to be high scribe for the

Pharaoh. Why try to alter your destiny? In the end, it is final."

"I don't care, Mother!" Seijuu said harshly. "I could care less! If I don't

want to be a scribe, I won't."

His mother turned to him, glaring and slapping the child in the face.

"Do not say such things! If your father were here, he would have given you the

purification, and not just a simple smack!"

Seijuu just growled under his breath as he rubbed the now reddish mark on his

face where his mother had slapped him. He had only had the treatment once, and

if he remembered correctly, he was sore for about a month, now he had the scars

from the "purifying" ceremony in plain sight on his right arm. He didn't want a

matching one on his left, that was for sure.

"Now," his mother announced. "Let me take you to scribe studies."

Seijuu finally decided to follow his mom to the pharoah's temple, a rather

beautiful place next to the pharoah's home. It had palm trees surrounding pools

of water on the inside, in which the ibis birds would wallow in, and soft,

cushioned mats for the students to sit on. Seijuu sat on one of the mats. He was

early, so it was just him and a few other students, and the scribe. Usually all

they would talk about were the different gods, and the pros and cons of scribing

legends. It was actually quite boring for Seijuu.

Seijuu sprawled himself out on a mat, resisting the urge to take a nap. It was

just so...boring! Letting out a whine, the boy looked up at the rock ceiling

uniterestedly, but something caught his eye.

A shimmer of gold was fluttering just above him. It was a butterfly! He had

heard foreigners talk about them, and he knew that it would be impossible to

find one in the desert, so why was there one here? Seijuu glowered up at it. It

looked so free and careless. He was jealous of it.

Extending his arm, he carefully caught the butterfly, caging it within his

fingers, but making sure he didn't do any harm to it. He smirked down at the

insect that he envied so much.

"Not so proud now, huh?" Seijuu spat at the butterfly. "You think you have it

all." He began to enclose his fingers on the butterfly. "Then you're in a cage

and you can't do a thing."

"What the hell are you doing, Seijuu?" came a voice.

The boy turned around to see one of this classmates. He glowered at him

spitefully, growling with an animal-like tone under his breath.

"Go away." Seijuu ordered the other boy.

The boy had ingored him. Instead he forced open Seijuu's palm.

"What are you talking to? There's nothing there!" he boy taunted.

Seijuu raised a quizzical brow at his classmate.

"Of course there is!" he announced with a glare, but when he turned to his

palm. He found that his classmate was right. His hand was bare. "But-- There was

a butterfly!" he protested, causing the other boy to laugh.

"You're such a fool, Seijuu." he said between laughs. "'Butterfly', what a

lie!"

Seijuu shot out his arm, grabbing the boy by the neck.

"I was not lying." he stated emotionlessly, tightening his grasp on his

classmate's throat.

The boy started to gag while Seijuu basically choked him in the middle of the

entire temple.

"Well, d-dammit, Seijuu. I was-- I was just kidding!"

"Tell it to the gods when you see them." Seijuu spat, squeezing the boy's neck untill he heard that

fatal crack of bone, dropping the classmate to his feet.

Seijuu's antagonist let out his final gag, ensanguined froth spraying from his

mouth. With that, the boy stormed from the temple, leaving a shocked audience

behind him
