Chapter One – Unrest and Terror

"Pharaoh, they're on the outside of the city. What do we do?"

"We should attack them, show them who is in charge!"

The shouts from the members of the sacred court about what they should do continued, but the Pharaoh zoned out lost in his own thoughts. He was unsure what he should do, the revolutionaries wanted him gone but they had not attacked any of the innocent so attacking them would be counterproductive to what they wanted to achieve. But then again, maybe by attacking them that would solve this dilemma without spilling any innocent blood. Atem closed his eyes, sighing inwardly. If Yugi had taught him anything then attacking them would not be the solution. These revolutionaries were still innocent as they have not killed or harmed anyone in his kingdom. Atem prayed that it would stay that way.

There was the faint sound of running footsteps getting louder and louder. Atem opened his eyes and sat up straighter then he currently was, in his throne. His eyes fixed on the entrance to the throne room. The members of the Pharaoh's sacred court copied their king and their gazes fixed on the entrance, as well. A guard of the palace came sprinting into the room, dropping to one knee in a sign of respect to his king. Atem waited with bated breath, his heart was pounding.

"My pharaoh, they have broken into the city! Some of the civilians are dead!"The guard panted his head down still showing his respect.

Atem got to his feet and hurried to the balcony which overlooked the city. He could see the revolutionaries making their way towards the palace. There was also smoke rising in the sky; some of the buildings were on fire. The Pharaoh wiped his face in his hands, now he was really stuck on what to do. Returning to the throne room, Atem racked his brains trying to think of some way in which he could fix this. But before he could return to his throne the guard spoke again.

"My king, I have not told you all of it yet."

Atem turned to look at the guard. The guard bowed his head once again, afraid that his king might be angry.

"I have heard that they want you dead."

Atem closed his eyes as he absorbed that information. Well, it was fair enough, he thought. How do you get rid of a king, kill him. Atem had half been expecting this. There were shouts of outrage from the members of the sacred court.

"How can these traitors want to kill our king after everything he has done for them?"

"Now we should attack, they should know better than to threaten to kill our king."

"The gods will not stand for this act of treason!"

Atem's advisor interrupted their shouts.

"Isis, use the Millennium Necklace to see the future."

A dark haired woman held her hand either side of her golden necklace and closed her eyes. Atem opened his and looked across at Isis. They all waited. But they never got any sort of answer as there were loud crashes and yells coming from the entrance to the throne room. Soon, two guards were thrown to the ground, both not conscious. They had finally broken into the palace. Atem looked over at a group of revolutionaries stood there. He didn't let the hint of fear which was coursing though his veins show on his face. A pharaoh never showed fear or at least his father never had.

"So, my king we have got though your so-called palace defences." A revolutionary said.

This one had dark hair and green eyes. Atem turned to face them properly, folding his arms.

"You know what happens now don't you? We are taking control of Egypt and you will die." Another said.

Atem examined this one; he had black hair and hazel eyes. He said nothing just looked at the men. Then the two men drew their swords and ran towards Atem that was when the chaos began. As a few palace guards ran forwards to protect their king. The Pharaoh turned and ran behind his throne. Atem pushed against the wall behind the throne and a sacred passage way revealed itself to him. Atem's father, the previous pharaoh, had told him to use this passage if this situation ever happened. Running down the corridor, having made sure the passage was shut off from the others; Atem pulled off his royal blue cape and instead grabbed a grey one which was at the end of the passage. The last thing he needed was to be spotted.

As Atem opened the door which lead out to the back of the palace he pulled the cape up so that it also covered his head. Checking that the coast was clear the Pharaoh found his way out of the palace and the city, unnoticed. Out of sight of the city, he broke into a run, running up the slight mountain which would give him a view of the whole city. He slowed to a walk as he reached the top. Looking back at his city, where he could just see fights still going on. But there was nothing he could do. But the Pharaoh would never run. But I had to, Atem thought; it would make things worse if I am killed. A single tear escaped from Atem's eye and he turned his back to the riot filled city. Once again he began to run.
