Hey all, I'm starting a new story. I just have writers block for the others. I've almost finished my next Dark Demon Meets One Of Light. This just randomly came up to me yesterday and I decided to write it. I've also decided that next time a write a story that I'll think of most of the story and not just a couple of chapters before I write it. I've actually thought about this one, believe it or not I HAVE A BRAIN, not many brain cells, but still there's something that pops in there now and then. I'M THICK AND DON'T I KNOW IT!!!! Anyway here's the chapter.
Chapter 1: The prophecy
A 19 year old tanned Pharaoh was sitting patiently on his throne waiting for his council to finish their speeches. His name was Yami and he had tri-coloured hair which was spiked with a crimson outline, a black fill and golden coloured bangs hanging around his face like a frame as well as lightening shaped spikes running up it. His sharp crimson eyes felt as though they pierced your very soul if you dared to look into them, but it was all just an act. He acted stern and tough so that he looked strong to his followers, when he could, or needed to be, he was gentle and loving. His eyes could change from its usual dark penetrating stare to a softer lighter look like sparkling rubies. He loved his kingdom, he loved his people everything he had done had been the best choice for his people, he had never put them in danger, the only bad choice he had ever made was his marriage. Tea. A young girl of the same age with azure eyes, silk brown hair which fell down to her shoulders. She was known as the most beautiful girl in all of Egypt, born in the West kingdom, she is the daughter of the Pharaoh Erica. She uses her looks to get what she wants. Yami was one of the many to fall under her charms. She didn't show her true colours until that Ra damned marriage parchment bore his everlasting signature. Tea had liked the West Kingdom the only problem was, it wasn't the richest. The Central Kingdom was the richest, the strongest and the most powerful, not to mention it withheld the most handsome named Pharaoh in Egypt, Yami. Yami knew full well that people thought he was the most handsome man in Egypt and, to be completely honest, he despised it. Tea, deciding that she wanted the money and Yami, had seduced him. He had been 14 at the time of the seduction, young, foolish, and easily manipulated at the time. Like most 14 year olds, he had one thing on his mind and I'm sure you know what it is. She manipulated Yami using her charms and beauty to real him in, it had worked. By the age of 16, Yami had asked to be wedded to her. His father had warned him but Yami had ignored the warnings. His father had been struck ill only two weeks after Yami's 16th birthday and, within a month died, the day after Yami's wedding. That's when Tea's colours really showed. Now that Yami was Pharaoh and the two were married she had complete access to Yami's fortune as Pharaoh. She was greedy, forceful, always had to be the centre if attention and most of all, deceitful. Yami knew that she was seducing other men but had yet to prove it. Marriages were binding. Until the day came that he caught Tea in the act he would just have to grit his teeth and bear with the selfish woman. Thanks to Tea's 'necessities', such as jewellery,(all of course encrusted with the most precious and expensive jewels), diamond encrusted bath taps, paintings of her with ruby encrusted frames and pure gold, everything you could think of which could be encrusted with some sort of precious jewel whether the jewel was 1inch big or 1mm it was encrusted with one. She also refused to use anyone other than the most expensive for any sort of use, such as painters, cooks, tailors etc… This was why this particular meeting was taking place. Tea's constant spending had caused massive corruption. Guards were not being paid, trade for gold was becoming harder, they were unable to buy swords, armour etc… Tailors and blacksmiths weren't being paid etc…. Yami sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"I suggest we raise the tax in the land my Pharaoh." One councillor suggested.
"We've already raised it 4 times this year." Yami replied. "Not to mention it's only May."
"We could lower the wages of our workers." Another suggested.
"We've done that 6 times this year." Yami answered. "If we cut it anymore people will start quitting."
"I don't see why you don't just force then to stay." Tea complained adorned in her usual golden attire and some of which that he was sure she didn't have 10 minutes before the meeting. "You are Pharaoh after all."
Yami rolled his eyes. Suddenly another council member came running in.
"My Pharaoh, I think I've found the solution." She said passing a piece of parchment to Yami. "It tells of a great stone cave which has been buried for centuries. It is supposed to hold some of the world's most precious and priceless jewels."
Tea, who had decided to ignore Yami after he had ignored her forcing comment instantly looked up. Precious and priceless were some of the very few words that could get her attention. Yami took the parchment from the female council member and read it, it said:
Deep in the bowels of the ever whispering sand,
Lies a cave of which no human has ever once laid a hand,
This cave of mysterious, this unique treasure trove,
Is filled with gold and beauty untold.
In one such a place lies also a boy,
The most beautiful of all of Egypt to this day,
Adorned in jewels priceless and grand,
But none so great as the boy trapped beneath the sand.
Such beauty and love is amazing and great,
But the beauty he holds can cause humans to hate,
Loved and lusted forever and more,
Can cause even the closet friendship to be tore.
Beauty so great that even the Gods,
Fought over the boy this son of Ra,
The Tenshi is pure magnificent to all,
That even the greatest God has been caused to fall.
But although his beauty rages the seas,
One such God hated the scene,
The God of beauty was jealous and cruel,
As a result the angel was fooled.
Told by the God to go to Earth,
Where he will be safe from the raging curse,
Purity and trust caused the angel to go,
Only to be hurt and forced down below.
The God placed a spell on the angel's hold,
To never leave his prison so the story is told,
Until a man courageous, bold and brave of heart
Comes and releases this dying art.
Held captive inside the large treasure trove,
The only guide of light for you will be the shimmering gold,
The room shines brighter the closer you get,
To the fallen angel and his everlasting net.
You may take what you want every golden dish,
The rare, the priceless a tomb raiders wish,
The only thing you must leave alone,
Is the one rare jewel keeping the room a standing home.
If greed fills your senses and you ignore the warning,
May luck be with you to see the next sunny morning,
The cave will fall all hope will be lost,
The only way out will be to give up the cost.
This may sound great, this may sound grand,
But getting to the angel's room is the task at hand,
Dodging traps, using your wit,
Is the only way you'll live without getting hit.
Making the journey is the courageous task,
Testing every part of you to see if you are what you say, not just a mask,
You complete the task, you get your reward,
An angel, gold, a fortune, and if you act right maybe from the Hikari more.
X marks the spot where you will find the pure one,
Go to the place when Ra has left, all has gone
Enter the cave, the only one that's lit,
To begin the journey which may become your everlasting pit.
(A/N: Damn it I cannot write prophecies sorry I know that was bad.)
There was complete silence in the room after the reading.
"I vote we go." Tea said.
Everyone could tell by the look in her eyes it was for the fortune and the jewels. She would order guards to go forward in case of a trap to save herself. Yami stared nervously at the parchment.
"It sounds rather dangerous, maybe there is another way." Another council man asked.
"I a sure you my Pharaoh, I have checked every prophecy we have and this is the only one that mentions gold for completion." The female woman replied.
"I don't really wan to risk my life for this." Yami replied.
"Then don't." Tea interrupted. "Send some guards they'll complete the task and bring the gold back."
"I don't wish to risk the lives of my people either." Yami snapped back, he then sighed. "But I see no other way."
"Okay then, good luck." Tea said turning back to inspect one of her jewel encrusted bracelets.
Yami's eyes narrowed.
"If you wish to even gaze upon the gold you shall come too," Yami snarled. "My Queen." He added sickeningly cringing at the words.
"Why?" Tea complained.
"Because I say so." Yami snapped back.
"My Pharaoh are you sure?" Another council member asked.
Yami sighed.
"I don't see any other way." Yami answered.
"Get the horses ready we will leave tomorrow morning." A council member shouted to a slave.
"No, we will leave tonight." Yami said. "The phrophecy said 'When Ra has left.' It must mean at night."
"Of course." The council member acknowledged. "Do as instructed now!"
The slaves ran off to ready for the trip.
"Come My Queen we must prepare." Yami said shuddering the words 'my queen.'
Tea sighed and walked in front of Yami in a huff, ignoring him. Yami rolled his eyes and left the Throne Room.
