Chapter 3 - Horus

I looked over at Master Ra and asked. "What did you want to talk about?" Master Ra sighed, "Talking about how we are going to deal with this honestly. I know you were the closest to the previous Pharaoh much more than I was. I need you to look after him for me while I am journeying to the town that was destroyed." I looked over and sighed. "Very well Master Ra." I looked around and asked. "What do you think about Sekhmet's condition?" Master Ra tapped his chin, "It's worsening that is for sure. I will ask Isis to look after her tonight." I nodded and looked around the room. "She's a bit unbalanced with her two natures." Master Ra looked at the Pharaoh and sighed, "He's still out cold… I wonder what is going on in his head." I nodded and looked down. "Dreaming maybe but we don't know unless someone is able to go into his mind and see what's going on." Master Ra snorted, "You can see into people's mind, why don't you?" Hours looked over and sighed, "I mean I could." Master Ra sighed, "Why don't you? I mean I doubt he would be mad." I nodded and replied. "Very well then. I'll see what's happening." I pulled out my Millennium key and said, "Millennium key, unlock the mind of this Pharaoh." My key flashed white and then I appeared at two doorways, on the left was the mind of the young Pharaoh and the right was a door of mystery. I chose the mind of the mysterious door and I walked inside. There were stairs and winding stairs, and even stairs that lead to nothing. I saw two beings up at one end and I made my way toward them. Once I got there the taller one turned toward me and said, "What brings you here?" I looked at the boy behind him and it was the Pharaoh. He was still sweating but he smiled, "Hey." I looked over confused and asked. "How are there two of you?" The taller one of the Pharaoh shrugged, "How did you get into here hmm?" I looked over and sighed. "I have the Millennium Key." The taller one placed his hand on his chin and nods, "Hmm… ok… interesting." He turns back to the Pharaoh and said, "You gave them Millennium items? That is kind of scary you know that right kid." The Pharaoh waved his hand and wiped his forehead, "Yeah, my dad did. I didn't." I looked over and looked over. "The name is Horus by the way. Also, we are currently down one guardian right now, Pharaoh." The Pharaoh put his hand on his lip, "Someone died? I'll arrange a coffin for them right away… I hope I didn't kill them." He stepped forward but the taller one moved him back. "Hold it Atem… you can't go anywhere yet, you're still recovering." The Pharaoh looked at him and said, "Well Spirit, I do have a kingdom to run you know." I looked over at the young Pharaoh and replied. "None of the guardians are dead but one is currently recovering. Sekhmet healed your internal wounds and all the energy lost at the price of most of her own strength." The Pharaoh hissed, "She shouldn't have my dad, warned me tapping into the spirit inside the crown takes you out if you aren't used to it." He glanced at the Spirit and said, "However he just appeared out of nowhere and took over before I could get ready." I sighed and looked over, "Young Pharaoh you should know the meaning behind Sekhmet. She has her duty of protecting every Pharaoh as Bastet. Sekhmet has the job of healing. She takes her job seriously and will risk her life to save the people important to her." The Pharaoh sighed, "I'm that important…" He turned his back to me and the Spirit turned to him and placed his arm on his shoulder and said, "Well you are the Pharaoh young Atem." The Pharaoh turned his head at him and said, "Horus would be better suited in being Pharaoh you know Spirit." I sighed and looked down. "We have all accepted being your servants. We don't aspire for riches, fame, or glory. We just want you to be safe." The Pharaoh looked at me and smiled, "Aww you're so kind!" I looked over and nodded. "I'm conveying the thoughts of every single one of us. You are our only Pharaoh and that right is only yours now." The Pharaoh laughed, "Sheesh! That puts a lot of pressure on me that is for sure." The Spirit sighed, "Atem…" The Pharaoh looked at him and smiled slightly, "Sorry." I looked over and nodded. "But we will always be here for you. Now everyone is waiting for you to wake up, our young Pharaoh." The Pharaoh slapped the Spirit and said, "I'm leaving whether you like it or not Spirit." The Spirit laughed, "Ok ok! Have fun!" Light flashed and we were back in the Pharaoh's room. He still had his eyes closed and I looked over. "It should be back to normal now." The Pharaoh murmured, "Yeah give me a second I got a headache." I looked at Master and then at the young Pharaoh. "He's awake!" Master Ra sighed, "Good. We have food in the dining hall waiting for you." Master Ra leaves and I looked over. "Is there anything else you want Young Pharaoh." The Pharaoh sighed, "Yeah, a few minutes, feels like my head feels like it's split in two." I opened my mouth to say something but he glares to the side and said, "Yes it's all your fault!" I looked around and sighed. "I'm going to go get Sekhmet and have her see if everything is okay. She should have recovered by now." The Pharaoh looked at me with bright eyes, "Oh ok, say thanks for me… er, actually I'll do it on my own. I can't order someone just to say thank you for me, that is just low." He got up and handed me a blanket, "Could you give this to her instead?" I nodded and looked own. "Very well, excuse me now young Pharaoh." I walked out of the room and headed to Sekhmet's chambers.

When I reached her room I knocked on the door and in a few seconds, a girl with feline-like eyes opened it. "What do you need?" I looked at her eyes and they were green. "I didn't think you would be back to being Sekhmet so soon." She purred and looked around her room. "I don't choose who I am most times but I'm generally Bastet." I nodded and handed her the blanket. "This is for you from the Pharaoh." She looked at me and then the blanket. "Ummm okay? How is he by the way?" I looked over and sighed. "He seems mostly fine but he is having splitting headaches so I came to ask you about what to do." Sekhmet nodded and looked around. "Mmkay then let's go." She places the blanket on the shoulder of a couch chair before she follows me back to the Pharaoh's room.

When we reached his room I knocked on the door patiently and waited. "It's Horus, your Highness." There were a few footsteps and then a golden-haired boy faced me after opening the door. "Hmm? Oh, it's you. Nice to see you again." I nodded and looked at Sekhmet. "I brought Sekhmet to do a checkup." He tips his head, "Who?" I sighed and replied. "The one I talked about before leaving." Sekhmet walked in and her feline-like eyes gazed around the room. "How are you doing my young Pharaoh?" The Pharaoh laughed, "Pharaoh, funny, ha. Do you hear this Atem? Apparently, we do look alike… no, we don't? Oh ok." He looks back at us and his golden eyes coldened, "Did you say Sekhmet?" I nodded and looked over. "Yes, Sekhmet… that is currently who she is and Bastet is resting." She nodded and looked over. "Though you all just generally call me by Sekhmet regardless of who it is." The Pharaoh sighed, "Cool, although it's kind of funny… Sekhmet was the name of my wife." Sekhmet looked over shocked and stepped back. "You can't be…" He frowns, "Can't be what? I mean I share a vessel with this kid." Sekhmet looked away and sighed. "I'm but I need a minute to step out." She quickly rushed out of the room and I sighed. "Well, that's just great." The Pharaoh tipped his head, "Hmm? Was it something I said?" He tipped his head like he was listening to something and then he looked back at me with deep thought, "Oh that… huh sorry." I looked over and sighed. "She's never been nervous around anyone when she is Sekhmet, that's strange." The Pharaoh's form flashed white and then he had his normal multicolored hair, he stumbled a bit but ran out the door, "Come back Miss Sekhmet!" I looked over confused and sighed. "Well, that's just perfect." I walked out of the room quietly and went back to my room.
