The Beginning

The scorching sun of Egypt attacked my body. I had to shield my eyes from the bright light. Today the new pharaoh will be crowned. Amazing. Just what I needed. I was the pharaoh's cousin and I hated the life of the royals. I wanted adventure. Action and suspense. Not this. I wandered the long winding halls of the palace. Although it's great in size I memorized every passageway, secret or not.

"Isis. What is Ra's name are you doing? You should be getting ready for the ceremony," said the high priest Seto who was also known as my brother. Wouldn't mother be proud of him? He gained so much. One of the youngest guardians of the millennium items. I however, well let's say I'm a magician… under training. Master Mahad, who is my mentor, always tells me, you have great potential but you just have to work a little harder. I never do anything right.

"Yes, my beloved brother. And you should hurry and get ready to. I think I see a brown stain on your clothing. That's not good at all," I teased him and I quickly ran to my room.

What should I wear? Dressing up was always a hassle. I despised it more than the cockroaches who roamed the earth freely, for I have a phobia of them. I picked out a pure white dress that was loose from the top, tight at the waist and loosened at the bottom and reached all the way and covered my feet. The sleeves draped over my shoulders and reached all the way to my elbows. For the jewelry I opted for something simple, for I hated wearing too much and decided to not wear any makeup. I wore my shoes and quickly ran out because I was late.

"What were you doing all this time Isis," whispered Gamila, guardian of the millennium necklace. Oh what I would do to be just like her. She's a much respected women, beautiful and gets adventure. People go to her for advice and her orders are always commands. I mean her name means beautiful for Ra's sake. I, on the other hand, am nothing like her. As a matter of fact I am nothing like the rest of Egyptians. My hair is jet black and pin straight that reaches a little past my shoulders with a weird layered cut. My eyes are big and have a brilliant green color and my skin is fair. Aside from that I'm much too tiny and flimsy. I am so clumsy and can't be functional. Such an oddball I am.

"I was getting ready," I whispered back. She gave me her "yea right" glare.

"Isis why is it you never wear makeup. This is a sacred ceremony and you should dress and look accordingly. And where is your jewelry?" Gamila sighed.

"Hehe, I guess I forgot," I said nervously. We both entered the great hall where the ceremony was to be held. There was the pharaoh and the other five sacred guardians of the seven millennium items. Master Karim with the millennium scale, Master Mahad with the millennium ring, Master Aknadin with the millennium eye, Master Shada with the millennium key, my brother Seto with the millennium rod and the pharaoh with the millennium puzzle.

I took my place and moments later the ceremony began. To call this "sacred" ceremony boring was an understatement. I started fiddling with the ring on my finger when a guard burst in half way through the ceremony.

" We've caught the king of thieves your highness," yelled the guard. A sign of relief passed everyone's face except mine. King of thieves, oh interesting.

"Bring him in," ordered the pharaoh. The guards brought him in. He had really tanned skin and grayish bluish eyes and under his right eye laid a great scar. His hair was white and went a little past his neck. I was interested in meeting this king of thieves.

The guards pushed the man towards the pharaoh.

"I dismiss everyone except the guardians," order Pharaoh Atem. However, I didn't listen and went to stand between my mentor and brother.

"Isis you must leave, this is no place for you at the moment," Seto said.

"I can help with my power. Please let me stay. I always wanted to see thief with my own eyes," I pleaded.

"This is too dangerous for you Isis. Leave now," Master Mahad said to me.

"But master, please let me stay. You can consider this like some kind of good experience for me and I could also try out my powers. I've been practicing really, really hard," I prayed they'd agree. They looked at each other for a long moment and finally agreed to let me stay. YES!
