Author's Note:
Hey, guys. This is my first ever Yu-Gi-Oh story that happens in Ancient Egypt and the real world. I hope that you do like this story that CptTails and I are doing because we're doing a story collaboration. Hope you enjoy it!
Our story begins 5,000 years ago, on a cool crisp night in Ancient Egypt. The Nile River glimmered very bright when there was a full moon out and tonight, there was definitely a full moon out and it shone very brightly among the river that was beside the palace. The priests, slaves and the Pharaohs Atem and his Queen Pharaoh Atarya were getting ready for bed.
Atarya came out of their bedroom bathroom, wearing a white and pink Egyptian nightgown that was made of the finest linen in all of Egypt. Her hair was brown, short and bob cut. She looked really amazing. Around her neck was the millennium ball and on her head was a golden tiara that looked like it had some type of golden cobra on it.
Her body was thin but bloated. Atarya and Atem were having a baby and she was carrying their prince or princess of the throne. She looked like she was one or two months pregnant. Though, it didn't hurt when she was walking.
Atem soon came back from one of his chambers, he had removed all of his royal attire except for his crown and the Millenium Puzzle, which hung low over his bear chest.
He approached Atarya, tired but happy to see her.
"Hello, Pharaoh. You're looking very nice tonight." Atarya said, looking at Atem's nightwear, which just happens to be an Egyptian tunic made of the finest linen in all of Egypt.
"My Queen." Atem said. He then reached out and kissed her hand. "Thank you, though nothing can match your radiance tonight."
Atarya looked at herself and down at her belly.
"Thank you. Guess who's happy to see you." Atarya said as she placed her hand on her belly.
"The heir?" Atem said, embracing her and gently placing a hand on her belly.
Atarya began to giggle as she felt her belly moving.
"Yes." Atarya said, giggling and trying to catch her breath.
Atem kissed her cheek and gently rubbed her belly.
The moonlight began to glimmer inside their room.
The wind also began to blow.
Atem felt the cool breeze across his face as he looked lovingly into his wife's eyes.
Atarya turned to look at the blue and pink silk curtains that were blowing gently, along with the wind. Their room had an open balcony that overlooked the Nile River that was flowing right beside the palace.
Atem looked out on the river as well. He had always admired the view from their chambers. He then looked at Atayra and said "Atayra, dear?"
Atarya turned to look at him.
"Yes, Atem?" Atarya said, now looking into his purple eyes that glimmered in the moonlight.
"Shall we go for our walk?" Atem asked, looking back into her beautiful, deep brown eyes.
"Of course. Like we do every night to check on our upper class men and our lower class men but, our two temples are very important to us." Atarya said.
"Yes, indeed," Atem said, holding her hand.
Atarya began to lead Atem out of their room and into the hallway.
The hallway looked very Egyptian like. It had very important Egyptian hieroglyphs among the walls that represented the Pharaohs before them. Suchlike how the Egyptians before them worshipped cats over dogs and there was a very specific hieroglyph that caught Atarya's attention. It was a hieroglyph that looked like a Queen that was bloated.
Atem looked at it too, then at Atayra.
"It looks like me." Atarya said.
"I know." Atem said, reading the inscription. "For we have been blessed in the full bloom of our youth with a child destined for greatness."
Atarya looked at Atem and smiled.
Her brown eyes were glistening.
Atem kissed her cheek and held her hand.
The first thing that Atarya and Atem were going to be checking on were the priests. Each priest had their own room that had a different hieroglyph on it. Isis's room was the room on the left of Atarya and Atem's. Her door had the hieroglyph of an owl. She was a very wise person.
As they approached, Atem allowed Atayra to go first, just in case.
Atarya opened the door and found Isis sitting on the bed, looking down at her millennium necklace.
She looked up and saw Atarya and Atem.
"Evening." Atem said, friendly.
"Hello, Pharaoh and Atarya." Isis said.
"Is all well with you?" Atem asked.
"I wouldn't say well." Isis said.
Atarya looked at Atem with concern.
Atem looked back at Atarya, then at Isis. "What's concerning you two?" He asked.
"I've been having these very bad nightmares." Isis said.
"How bad?" Atem asked.
"Very bad to where I would wake up crying." Isis said.
"Is this about your recent predictions that you have been having?" Atarya asked.
She was more of a know it all.
"Yes. How did you...?" Isis said, quite surprised.
"Predictions?" Atem asked, slightly concerned.
"Honey, she has the millennium necklace. She can predict anything that's going to happen in the near future." Atarya said as she placed a hand on her husband's shoulder.
"I know." Atem said ,"but it's never gotten this bad before."
"I already know about your children." Isis said to Atem.
Atem began to look distressed. "Is the prediction concerning our child?" He asked.
"Fifty fifty, Pharaoh." Isis said.
Atarya looked at Atem.
"I think she might know what the gender of our children is going to be." Atarya said, whispering.
"I don't doubt it." Atem said, "but is our child in any foreseen danger?"
"You and your wife are going to be having more than one child." Isis said.
Atem looked surprised.
Atarya smiled.
"How sure are you?" Atem asked Isis.
"100% sure. Remember when I predicted that there was going to be a solar eclipse?" Isis said.
"Yes." Atem said, "Though I also heard tell that the Oracle at Delphi also predicted it."
Isis got angry.
"Sorry, 'false' Oracle at Delphi." Atem said.
"She's jealous." Atarya said.
Atem sighed. "Okay." He said to Isis "I know that your visions speak the truth."
Isis smiled.
"Thank you, Pharaoh." Isis said.
"You are very welcome." Atem said, "Though I have a feeling that it's not the twins giving you nightmares..."
"Nope." Isis said.
She then yawned.
"It's getting late." Isis said.
"Okay." Atem said "goodnight..."
He then held Atayra's hand.
Isis then went into her room.
Atem waved, bidding her goodnight, then looked back at Atayra and said "Twins." Quietly but excitedly.
Atarya looked down at her belly.
"Yes but, she didn't tell us what their genders were going to be." Atarya said, excited but disappointed.
"We'll ask her in the morning." Atem said, gently placing his hand on her belly.
Atarya sighed sadly.
"I want to know now." Atarya said.
"What do you want them to be?" Atem asked.
"Princesses." Atarya said.
She then felt her belly move.
Atem smiled. "Then princesses they shall be." He said.
