Lets continue with chapter 4.
Chapter 4 Training.
Akunadin POV.
I wake up at the crack of dawn, I stretch out I felt exhausted, than I remember my son Set.
So much has happened in such a short time, my son's return, and his new Millennium item, I smile the gods have returned my son too me, I am so pleased.
Even if I do not deserve him I am grateful that the Gods have given my light back to me, I will be a good father to him, but he needs to be trained.
I must get him trained so he can feel worthy to into the priest hood first, than I will be his father, I cant let him know, training first, father figure later.
I get dressed and summon a servant, "yes my prince?" she asks.
"I want an early breakfast, for my self and my apprentice Set, in my sitting room in about 40 minutes." I say,
"Of course my prince, and foods in particular?" She asks, this girl who's name is Issic, she has been my servant girl all her life, she would be about 19 now, I have taken care of her all her life, she is one of the most well looked after servants in the entire palace.
"No, I would like an variety of foods and drinks and if you can lots of knifes and forks, Issic." I say. She gives me a smile.
"Of course my lord, I trust you have enjoyed your sleep," she says. The girl I once took from the slave rooms has grow into a beautiful women, she is very obedient and can even read and write, a rare thing for a girl.
"I did Issic, run along, I do hope I did not wake you child?" I say. I hate waking the girl up for my bidding.
"You didn't master, I could not sleep anyway." She says, I look at her she smiles.
"Everything ok child?" I say.
"Yes I just had a bad dream Master, I will make your breakfast now, I hope you and your apprentice have a good day training." Issic says, I smile and she leaves.
I change my clothes and walk next door where Set's door is still locked, I take out the key and unlock it, and quietly enter, Ser was curled up, and he in truth looked quite cosy, as he was fast asleep. I sit on the side chair next to his bed, for a moment so I can look at my son I have not seen him seen him sleeping since he was a baby, but given that fact or not he has too get up now, you have too be cruel to be kind.
"Set, wake up." I say, at once my son rolls and I receive a moan in return, I give Set's sleeping body a small smile "get up," I order. I smile at my son.
"What time is it?" Set moans. He did not want to go to bed, now he does not want to get up. I look at my son, it is ironic he did not want to sleep, but now he has to get up and train hard…
I take this second to think of how old my son is now, I left him when he was 4, that was 10 years ago now he is he is 14, he can not be no older than 14.
It was 10 VERY long years.
"It is just past the crack of dawn time to get up, we are going to start your training." I say I hear another moan, "it is time to get up Set, don't make me beat you before your breakfast." I threaten. I would never hurt him; he just needs to think I will.
"OK," Set moans, I go to his cupboard and I take out a set of clothes for him. I place them next to his table,
"Get up and dressed you have 2 minutes," I say sternly
I leave his room, so the boy can dress without fear of me watching him, I go into my room and try and relax…. Now what do I do with the boy to prepare him too be Pharaoh?
Perhaps I should keep Atemu alive for a few more years, I have no choice in the matter, and Shimon would know I killed him straight away so Set could be Pharaoh. So I have no choice but too pretend too be deeply in love with Atemu, and not Set.
How ironic, I hate my nephew but I must pretend to love him, and I love my son but I must pretend that I do not, luckily I can like my beautiful son.
I would like him even more if he got up from his bed!
Just than Set walked through the door, he was dressed in a dark blue robe with a knife belt. But something was not there that should be.
"Where is your rod Set?" I ask.
"In their sir." Set says, he points to his room. Silly child. Silly tired child.
"You need to have your Rod with you at all time, I can not teach you to use it, when it is hidden in your room can I child?" I say, Set's noes flares up, he hated to be called a child.
"No Master," he says, that's right I am right.
"Than go get it, than we shall go for a run, then you can eat." I say, Set nods, "you do understand I am training you so you can be a priest and not lose control of the Rod, the Rod glowed yesterday because it knows you are its master, be if it stops glowing you may lose control of it, trust me when I say this child I need you too know that you are capable of controlling its power, because it is possible it will try to kill you, but I think with training you will be fine, so get the ROD," I say. Set nods, and leaves to mine, well his chamber, once again I see anger in his eyes because I am telling him what to do; I hate people telling me what to do as well my son.
But for the next few years, you have to do as you are told Set for your own good.
The boy returns and gives me the still glowing rod, but when he gave e the Rod it stopped glowing, I smile. "See child the Rod knows that you are its master, but you must work hard to earn its respect." I say. "Do you understand child?" I ask, the boy my son. Nods.
"Yes sir, I understand." Set says, I look at him I look at the child, his mother, my wife died the summer before he believes that his father died years before, I look into the child's sole and what I see shocks me, he think he is all alone, but he is not.
'Set you will never be alone as long as I am here.' I think I look at him I smile at him; in return he smiles at me.
"Come child, it is time to begin your training, but before we begin to run, what type of reading material can you manage." I ask.
"I can read a little bit my lord. Before my mother…" Set stopped. I try not too bite my lip, "before my mother died she read too me a lot, and made sure I got a good education." Set says, I smile, that sounds like Ketet, my lost wife my darling. The only one that made me feel loved.
"I am sorry about your mother I know about what it is too lose a parent, what about your father?" I ask, than I say, "Ahh died when you were a child," Set nods,
"Yes how did you know that sir?" Set says.
"My eye can go into peoples soles, I know what you are thinking, so don't try and lie to me, because I will catch you and I shall have to beat you for lying too me," I say, ok if he lies to me I might give him a small beating, nothing that bad of course, I am known to giving mercy to criminals, and I will not hurt my student. And I will never hurt my son.
"I understand my lord." Set says,
"Good let us start your training." I say.
I lead the boy into a huge courtyard I start to run and the boy tried his best to keep up, I give him the scenic route of the palace, but he just was not quite fast enough.
I was hard on him I must of run 2 miles, I feel the child panting beside me he relaxes a bit as we pass the palace I go inside the huge palace it was still very early, as soon as we enter Set collapses on the ground, he begins to cough uncontrollable.
Oh dear………
I get the boy a cup of water and it was gone in a second, he seemed better now, "Thank you my lord." Set says, I smile as I see Set has stopped his coiffing fit, I am pleased he has stopped…. The last thing I want is my son becoming sick on his first day of training. I lead the boy, who followed me away.
"You did well Set, come you deserve a warm meal." I say. I lead my son too the huge dining room, Issic has filled the tables with foods I take my seat and indicate him to take the seat beside me, "you can eat," I say he nods,
"Thank you sir," my son, my student says, I smile at him. And I begin to instruct him on what knife and fork to use, I look at Set as he eat with the proper spoon for his soup.
"Set, can I have a look at your Rod," I ask, he just stairs and gives it too me.
It stopped glowing again…. OK I get it you hate me and like Set.
"I think you will be a good priest." I say.
