Thanks to Yue in the Stars for the review on the previous chap! I'm happy you like it so far and, hope there will be no confusion in the chap~
Atem walked out thinking of what to say and how to act since the first time he had seen the boy, with Mana had he made a frown, but it had been from getting those weird vibes from the boy, which had made Atem want to get away before they got any closer. He thought back on the moment he had seen the huge ka, who had been the only one who had ever hurt Ra in such amount of damage in one single attack. "Not even Seth can summon that powerful a ka… something's not right about him…" The crimson eyed prince had been walking in his own thoughts when he bumped into something or rather someone, when he heard a body fall to the floor and a voice he didn't really know started to curse as he looked down to see who it was and saw none other than Heba who was the one he had made fall on the floor. "Son of a jackal! that fucking hurt, you shitty camel ass!" Atem was frozen speechless when he heard the cursing since, almost no one would have the courage to curse at him since if his father had known, not even the black ka would be able to save him from the whipping he would have gotten.
Heba had sneaked around the palace after having parted ways with Mana and had been about to turn a corner as he bumped into someone and fell, making him curse as he rubbed his head before looking for who it was who had been the culprit, when he looked into a couple of crimson eyes and got back up on his legs as he raised an eye brow of the speechless prince. "Oh, didn't see that it was you." He was using a casual tone since talking to royals wasn't that uncommon for him, but this rewarded him with a raised eyebrow. "Aren't… Aren't you a bit reckless? I mean… you could get whipped, if my dad knew that you cursed in front of me!" Heba was a little surprised over that something as simple as cursing in front of the person who didn't seem that much older than himself, but didn't like the thought of getting whipped and made a shrug. "What's wrong with cursing? I mean it's just words." Heba smiled and had to hold himself back from laughing of the face the other made. He placed a hand on his hip as he looked at his double, "Don't tell be you've never cursed before!" Heba would have laughed, if he hadn't been so stunned in disbelieve, when he saw Atem, slightly blushing, turn his head away with a pout, but had a hard time not facepalming or slap Atem, when Heba heard him mumbling, that he had been taught that a prince shouldn't curse.
Atem could see the complete disbelieve in Heba's eyes, like the other couldn't grasp that he had been taught that cursing was something no prince would ever do, no matter what, so the reason for the rule had been, for not getting him tempted to do it. An awkward silence fell between the two boys, before Heba decided to break it. "So… where were you heading before you made me swear, like Ammit was trying to bite my soul's ass?" Atem didn't know why but on one side did he want to scold the other for the disrespect of the god, but on the other side did he want to laugh a bit when he imagined Ammit biting the butt, so he looked strict at the other while laughing inside a little. "That was really disrespectful towards the gods you know." The crimson eyed prince made a soft sigh, when he heard the Heba mumble something about Atem being right, and that he probably should go apologize to them. Atem was about to leave when he heard the other whisper for himself, "Maybe I should play some games with my ka, after apologizing…" This made Atem quickly spin around and look excited at Heba. "Wait, you like to play games?" Atem smiled as he looked at the surprised Heba who made a nod making him smile even more. "Yeah, I love playing games so, let's play some games, when I'm back from the temple!" Atem made a soft blush, as he was happy that his tan hid it, when he heard Heba softly giggle, before smiling as he looked at Atem. "Sure! I love playing games!" The amethyst eyed boy made a big smile, as he waived his hand before running off to, what Atem guessed was the nearest temple the commoners was allowed into, and decided, that it was a good thing he had listened to Mahad this time around.
Heba was on his way to the nearby temple when an angel like ka landed in front of him. Heba had no doubt whose ka it was, making him get a bad feeling when he saw how badly wounded it was. "Why are you here? Did Ryou send you?" Heba was beginning to fear the worst when the angel began to weep. "H-Hey don't cry, n-nothing is dangerously wrong back home… is there?" Heba didn't know the answer, since the angel made a gasp, right before it disappeared, making Heba now run towards the temple, now desperate to talk with the gods. His heart was racing in wariness, since he might have sneaked out of the palace to get away from his father and the soon-to-be-forced marriage, but he still loved his old man with all his heart. He ran as fast, as his legs would allow, dodging everything in his way and even hurried so much that he ignored a voice that he in the back of his head slightly registered as Seth, yelling something about Heba having to slow down, but didn't even one bit before he was standing in front of the temple, to catch his breath for a moment before rushing into the temple only slowing down to a hold to kneel down in front of the giant statues of Ra, Osiris and Isis sitting on their thrones in front of him.
Heba was always a bit nervous when he was about to speak to the gods, and took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard a female voice, a voice he had heard every time he had been in a temple with a statue. "It has been a while, prince of the light." Heba made a small sigh, not wanting to offend the goddess, "Isis, I do still not understand why you gods have given me such a name, when I'm not worth of it, my goddess…" The tri-colored was still looking down on the floor as he heard the voice of Ra who was making a chuckle. "You might not understand it now, but a time will come when you will see the reason for yourself." Heba had been wondering what they had meant by it since they had called him that for the first time which had been the first time the gods had appeared in front of him, though there was still something that was overshadowing his confusion when he heard Osiris speak, "Your heart seems to be troubled… does something bother you young one?" Heba knew that he was being rude when he looked up without permission from the gods, but looked pleading on Osiris. "Please, oh almighty gods and goddess, my friend's ka appeared in front of me while being wounded and crying. Please tell me that Lower Egypt is as I left it and my father isn't walking in your garden, oh mighty Osiris!" Heba looked down, not able to look at the divine beings, when he heard words that brought made the prince much more relieved. "Do not worry, your home is as safe as you left it, with your father still sitting, very much alive, on his throne." Heba could almost hear Osiris smile in the words, as he heard Isis make a little laugh, and smiled of her words. "Yes, and he has already visited our temple, asking for the same as you. He has been just as worried about you, as you are about him but worry not we have told him that you are as safe as you could be."
After leaving the temple with a much lighter heart, did the notice Seth who was glaring at Heba, making said prince a bit uncomfortable, but knew somewhere that he deserved if just a little that glare for not stopping, when Seth had asked him to. He made a quiet little laugh as he reached Seth, feeling much smaller under the glare as the taller looked down at him. "So… what kind of explaining do you have for running away even when I told you to stop?" Heba felt like hiding somewhere far, far away from Seth and the glare he was on the receiving end of. "Ah, well you see, the thing is…" The tri-colored had a hard time trying to come up with an excuse, but heard the voice of the one, he only now knew he had hoped so much to hear. "I finally found you Heba!" said prince smiled as the crimson eyed one came up to his side with a smile. "Ready to play some games?" The word 'games' made Heba forget about Seth and his glare for the moment, "Are you crazy? I was born ready!" The two ran away from Seth, who was just trying to register what just happened. "Did I just… get ignored?" He made a growl angered over what happened when he heard some poorly concealed giggling from behind the corner, making him even more pissed since he was almost sure that it was Mana. "Mahad is going to have to find a new apprentice when I'm done." Seth made a little smirk since he heard the giggling stop and running feets started in its place.
Me: Welp, last chap where we are in the past for the whole chap~ *too innocent looking smile*
Yugi: *hiding behind Atem* Why do I have the feeling of that, she's going to drag us into some chaotic chaos?
Me: Oh hush, I won't let it be THAT bad… At first at least~
Atem: *sighs as Yugi runs away and Eon laughs crazy* Eon doesn't own anything and hope she will see you in the next chap!
