Chapter 2- Some truths

-Heba-

Heba had been taken to the healing room by the palaces healer Ishizu. She had run a few tests and didn't find anything wrong with him besides a few cuts. She assumed it was from when he collapsed onto the ground.

She simply cleaned the cuts on his arm and wrapped it in a bandage. All there was now was to wait until he woke up, which she had judged to be very soon. With all of this moving he had to be shaken making his consciousness start to stir.

As if he had heard her thoughts, Heba started to move a bit and slowly opened his eyes, a low groan escaping him. His eyes darted around the tan colored room, blinking a few times to clear the blurriness. The first thought that crossed his mind. This was not his room. Where was he? What happened?

In that second everything that happened came crashing down onto him at once and he bolted up on the bed, panting lightly as fear started to seep into him. A mistake as the sudden movement sent a pain through the arm he had landed on. He hissed in pain and his left arm wrapped around his middle, gripping his bandaged right arm. 'Bandage?' Heba questioned in is mind as he looked down to the wrapping.

Seeing him about ready to have a panic attack, Ishizu walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Heba jumped and turned to her wide eyed and fearfully. "Wh-what is g-going on?" He stuttered out as he gazed up at her. Heba, never scared easily, but after all that happened he figured he had a right to be afraid. He could be dead!

Sensing his fear, Ishizu slowly removed her hand and then sat in the chair next to the medical bed Heba was sitting on. "What is your name young one?" Her voice was clam and gentle as she spoke, hoping to relax the teen even just a little.

Heba took a deep breath and willed himself to relax a bit as he looked over to her and into her eyes. Ishizu didn't seem frightening. She almost seemed kind and caring. Taking another deep breath he smiled a bit, though it was more forced then anything. "Heba, Heba Moto."

She smiled to him. "Heba then. My name is Ishizu Ishtar. I am the healer priestess here, you are in the Medical wing. I ran a few tests and didn't see anything wrong besides your arm, which I cleaned the wounds and wrapped your arm. You were brought here by a wolf named Marik. Do you remember?"

Heba nodded his head as fear once again started to come back from the reminded of the wolf. However and another thought struck him and he forced his fear's aside for the moment. "Medical wing where?"

"Unfortunately I am not at the liberty to tell you that. I must go get someone else who has permission to tell you. If you promise to not leave I can go get him now and everything can be explained to you." Ishizu watched him closely as she waited for her answer. If he really did promise not to leave and was sincere about it, she would go and get Atem. However if he wasn't, she would know he was lying.

Heba thought this over for a moment. He really did want answers and even if he thought on leaving, he wouldn't know his way out. So he nodded his head in agreement to this. "I promise to stay right here."

Ishizu searched his eyes a moment, seeing only the truth, and then stood and headed to the door. "I shale be right back." She waited for Heba to nod before opening the door and closing it behind her.

Once the door shut she looked to the guard next to the door and sighed. "Make sure the boy stays put. I am sure he will, but I cant take any chances."

"Yes my priestess."

Turning and starting down the hall Ishizu headed to the throne room where she was sure Atem would still be.

Just like he had promised, Heba had not left the room. He had however, gotten up and walked over to the window he spotted from the bed. Heba pulled the curtains back and gazed out the window to see a gorgeous garden.

It was full of luxurious trees and different types of planets as well as a fountain. It was completely gorgeous in Heba's eyes. He tried to look past the garden only to see a wall blocking his view from everything else.

"Where am I?" He asked out loud but didn't receive any response, not that he was expecting one. 'I am vaguely reminded of the ancient Egyptian palace from all of this.'

He pushed those thoughts aside as they seemed impossible, more then impossible. The great Egyptian kingdom fell 5000 years ago.

Sighing the teen walked back to the bed and took a seat, patiently waiting for Ishizu to return. Another thought struck him at that moment. 'Ishizu Ishtar... where did I hear that name before?' He asked himself.

The name sounded vary familiar to Heba but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it.

0o0Ishizu0o0

Ishizu had reached the throne room a few moments later and the guards opened the door for her.

Yami and Atem stopped there conversation and looked up to her as she walked over to the base of the stairs.

She gave a bow to them before straightening herself up and smiling to them. "My Pharaoh, Prince, the boy has woken up and is stable. I learned his name is Heba. He only had a few cuts which I bandaged. I would have used magic but I didn't wish to cause more confusion when he woke up and noticed them gone."

Atem nodded to this and stood from the throne, Yami following his lead. "I understand you did well, thank you Ishizu."

He then started down from the throne, Yami right behind him, and the three of them started back to the healing chambers.

Not even bothering to knock, Atem opened the door and stepped inside, closing it again once everyone was inside. He then looked back to the boy who was gazing at them in slight fear and curiosity. Atem also noticed the look of courage hidden in those lilac eyes, it made him smile. "Hello little one-" Heba's eye twitched at the remark to his height. "-How are you feeling?"

"Lets see, I get attacked in the woods by a wolf who apparently seemed to understand everything I said to him. Wake up in a place I don't even know. Get questioned by people I don't know, with out getting a answer to my own. Then meet a man who seems to find it fun to give me a name regarding my shortness. Oh and to top it off, I am currently wondering if I am A; dead or B; insane! How the bloody Ra would you feel!?" Heba couldn't resist the snappish smart ass response he gave the man. He felt his temper rising and his patients for all of this snapping. In his opinion, the man deserved it.

Atem didn't seemed fazed in the least. He just stood there listening to everything the boy said knowing he needed to say it. He could sense that Heba was reaching his limit and if they didn't help him calm down he may snap and have a break down.

Atem couldn't blame him though, with everything that had happened to him, he had every right to. Especially since the poor teen thought he was going to die, or was already dead.

Once Heba was done, Atem walked over to him and sat on the bed next to him. He looked over to the teen and sighed when he saw Heba move away a bit and look at him with a guarded expression.

"I'm not going to hurt you and I did not mean to offend you by calling you what I did. My name is Atem Sennen I am the Pharaoh of Khemet and that-" He gestured over to Yami. "Is my twin brother and the Prince of Khemet."

Heba listened to the man relaxing a bit till he called himself a Pharaoh and said basically that he was in Khemet. If his memory on Egypt of what he learned in school, and from his grandfather who is a archeologist served him correctly, this was impossible. Heba glared at the man and tried to control his temper. "What kind of game are you playing!? Pharaoh!? I am not a idiot. There has not been a Pharaoh in Egypt in centuries. Not only that but Khemet fell forever ago!"

Atem had expected this and so was not shocked when Heba lashed out at him. Taking a deep breath he looked at Heba with as much sincerity as he could. "I do not lie. Pharaoh's vanishing from the world and Khemet falling is what YOUR history books and records speak. Mine speak differently. For you see young one. There are things that the human race are not aware of. Things that if they knew of them would make them over react. Humans are such fragile and broken things. Easily pushed over the edge."

Heba swallowed thickly. Two things stuck out the most when the man spoke. He had 1; called them 'humans' and 2; said that there are things he didn't know. The teen had a wave of fear once again hit him but he pushed it away for now and he glanced back to Atem, swallowing thickly. He was going to regret this wasn't he? "What... things?"

Atem forced a smile, hoping it would help the now terrified teen relax a little bit. "You see there are things that exist in this dimension that exist as only fairy tales in your dimension."

Heba's eyes widened beyond normal at the words Atem spoke. "D-Dimension? Where on earth am I!?" He squeaked out as he attempted to get ahold of himself.

Atem smiled more and almost seemed to smirk before he spoke again. "That's just it, your not on earth. Welcome to the Millennial Realm, Heba."

Heba placed a hand to his forehead as he tried to get a grip on all of this. Atem had just told him he wasn't on earth... or in the earth dimension technically. He was in a completely different world altogether. He looked back over to Atem and swallowed thickly. "Please, tell me this is a joke."

A sigh escaped the sun kissed Egyptian before he looked over to Yami and waved his hand. A silent exchange that spoke, 'show him'.

Yami glanced at his brother with uncertainly before closing his eyes and letting a white light engulf him.

It caused Heba to shield his eyes and look away. Once it disappeared, Heba looked to where Yami was only to jump up and back up till his back hit the wall. Where Yami once was, there was a wolf about the size of a bear again. It had jet black fur with crimson highlights and gold tips on his ears. His fur seemed to spike up a bit.

Atem had expected this and sighed before walking over to the frightened teen and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Its alright Heba, Yami wont hurt you."

Heba looked up to Atem in disbelief. "THAT-" He pointed to the wolf. "-IS YAMI!? HE WAS HUMAN A SECOND AGO!"

Yami shook his head and looked to Heba. "I was never human Heba, because you see, I am a werewolf. Everyone in Khemet is."

Heba had slowly turned his head back to Yami when he spoke and started to hyperventilate when he learned what he did. He was surrounded by werewolves. 'There not supposed to exist! They were stories! Weren't they?' As he tried to convince himself he couldn't help but know that wasn't true. The evidence was right in front of him. Yami, was right in front of him.

Heba looked to the wolf as it nudged his hand, a attempt to get Heba to pet him and show him that he meant no harm. Tentatively, Heba raised his hand and placed it on Yami's head, slowly petting him. He rubbed behind one of the wolves ears. Yami seemed to enjoy this as he leaned into Heba's touch.

"I told you he wouldn't hurt you."

Heba looked up to Atem and couldn't miss the look of amusement those crimson eyes held. It was then Heba noticed the similarity between the two of them. The only difference being Atem was taller, more masculine, his hair had more blond and the tips were crimson like his eyes, Heba's own being lilac. It startled him slightly but he brushed it aside for now and sighed. "S-so you are all... really... we-werewolves?" He couldn't seem to hide the fear in his voice no matter how much he tried.

Atem nodded his head and gestured for Heba to sit back down on the bed. The boy looked like he would collapse at any second.

The teen walked back over the the bed and sat back down, Atem joined him and Yami returned to his human form.

One thing about that struck Heba as odd and he tilted his head at the man. "How come when you changed back your cloths were still there?"

Yami couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the question before he smiled to the boy. "Being a werewolf for as long as our people have, you tend to learn a few tricks. We have magic fused into our cloths so that when we change, our cloths are not effected. It would probably cause a few problems if we kept ripping our cloths when we changed or turned back naked."

Heba nodded his head in understanding to this before he looked back over to Atem. "So... how long has Khemet been... like this...? As far as our history records go... Khemet was overthrown when pharaoh Aknamkanon was killed. Our records then say that many changes were made until Egypt became what it is today."

Atem considered what Heba had said, listening to every word and nodding at occasions. Once the boys was finished he sighed lightly and ran a hand through his tri-colored locks. "Where do your archeologist get there information from? I can assure you about more then half of that is incorrect. Starting with the fact that my father, is quite alive. He stepped down from the throne about-" Atem hummed in thought for a moment. "-2000 years ago and I took control. He had decided he ruled long enough and that I was more then ready."

Heba's eyes widened at this and he gave Atem a look of disbelief. "B-but..." He stopped not completely sure what to say. He had just been told that just about everything he learned in school on Egypt was untrue.

"And to answer your previous question little one, we have been this way since I was 18, 5000 years ago." Atem answered matter-of-factly.

Heba couldn't believe it. He continued to stare at Atem wide eyed as he took all of this in. He was unsure what to say but he really wanted to know something. What had happened to make everyone this way? What in there time could have gone so wrong, that they ended up like this?

As if sensing the unspoken question, Atem sighed again and stood up. He held his hand out to Heba and offered him a smile. "Come with me, and I will explain everything to you."

Heba blinked and looked up to Atem questionably. "Why? Why me?"

Atem smiled even more and gave a small chuckle. "You already know so much. I might as well fill you in on the rest. Besides-" He leaned down to so he was eye level with Heba and smirked. "-I can just see the curiosity in your eyes. You want to know so much."

Heba blushed darkly and couldn't deny anything as he gazed into those crimson eyes. Atem was right. He wanted to know. He wanted to know so much about these people.

Atem leaned back and once again offered his hand to Heba. The boy seemed to contemplate for a moment before sighing in defeat and placing his hand in Atem's.

Atem pulled the boy to his feet and then started out the door, closing it behind them and turning down the hall to head to the library.

Once the door closed behind them, Yami turned to Ishizu and sighed. "I wonder, if Heba knows that he can never leave after this." Yami had to admit the boy was growing on him. He has a air of innocents around him as well as strength. But, he knew to much. And after what he was going to learn, he was definitely going to know to much. Yami felt sorry of him, he was going to have to leave everything he knew behind.

Ishizu sighed herself and looked down at the ground. "I doubt it Prince Yami. He is probably expecting to stay the night and leave tomorrow. I feel sorry for him and when he learns he cant leave, I know he is not going to take it will. I wish I could help him..."

"You and me both Ishizu, but we can't risk the clans life. And the boy knows to much." Yami stated though he knew in his heart that this was not right.

"I know my prince. You must excuse me I should go find Mahado." Ishizu bowed before turning and leaving the room.

Yami watched her go before walking out himself and looking down the hall to where he knew Atem had taken Heba. "I seriously hope you know what you are doing Atem." With that Yami turned and started down a different hall.
