Pharaoh Atem was returning home from his battle with the evil Anubis. It had been a tough battle, but Anubis would never harm a living soul again. The Pharaoh was exsuasted and needed a good sleep to recover. As he was crossing the long, deserted desert, he spotted a figure in the distance. As he got closer he saw a woman laying unconsious on the sand. He got off his chestnut colored horse and check to see if she was breathing. "Good. She's still alive, but barely. I need to get her back to the palace." He skillfully hoisted himself and the woman onto his stallion. The Pharaoh opened his water sac and let some water trickle down her dry throat. "There, that ought to help you some.", he said to her. He brushed a strand of her long reddish-brown hair from her face. "Pretty young woman you are. I hope you make it through." He sped his horse up into a gallop. "Hurry, Windlord, we need to get this woman back to the palace as soon as we can."

(1 hour later)........

"The Pharaoh has returned!," a guard called. The Pharaoh yelled, "Please take this woman to the guest chamber immediately! She is in need of medical attention!" "Yes, Sir!" The guard took the female from the Pharaoh and carried her into the palace. "I need some help over here!", he called. Several maids and a nurse came rushing over. They took the woman into the guest chamber. The guard laid her down onto the white silky sheets then left to go back to his post. "I need some cool water to cool down her temperature quickly!," the nurse ordered. "We'll get them!," replied the maids. They left in a hurry and were back as fast as they had left. The nurse took the cool water and rag and rubbed cool water over the female's face.

Meanwhile, Atem was talking to Preist Isis. "Please keep an eye on that woman, Isis. Contact me when she awakes. I must find out who she is." Atem heard Preist Seto calling for him in the distance. "Yes, my Pharaoh. I will contact you the moment she awakens." "Thank you.", he replied, then rushed to see what Seto was demanding his presence for.

Author's Note: It's always hard for me to start a story, but I finally did it! I decided to save my Marik romance for later until I can get the hang of this. Please review, I'm so worried if this story is lame!
