Britt had fallen asleep after she was done with her Journal. Her dreams wondered to the future where she was surrounded by people she cared and loved. "You are the destined one." A voice said to her and she looked around "wha?" She said in her dream. A bright image came to her it was so bright she had to cover her eyes. When she removed her arm from her eyes she looked around seeing a massive battle. "Britt, we need your help." Four voices said to her. She looked around at where she heard the voices and she seen it was coming from Atem, her sister, a boy she didn't recognize and...Bakura?
Seeing Bakura alive and on their side awoke her from her sleep and when she was awake it took her a second to realize two things. One a male servant was in her room and two that it was morning. When she realized it was morning she got up and pushed past the male servant. "I can't wait until they can't come near me anymore." Britt thought walking out of her room.
When the sunrise rose and Atem felt it on his face he awoke from his sleep. Getting up and dressing in his royal clothing he walked outside and seen Britt. "ready for this?" He asked her putting his hand out to her. Britt put her hand in his "yes." She said as they both walked to the balcony. Britt was nervous as they were in sight of everyone. Her friends were in the group and looked up to see that Britt was with Atem.
Atem raised his hand to silence the people for his announcements. "thank you all for coming. I am here to announce that the bandits will no longer cause harm. The bandit leader has been delt with. Furthermore I am announcing my engagement with my love, Britt." He said then pulled her close to him. With all the attention on them she kept calm and smiled when she felt him kiss her cheek. All eyes were on them and almost everyone was shocked to hear and see this.
Many servant girls were devastated that their great Pharaoh was engaged to one of them. They all envied Britt for being the one the Pharaoh but they liked it better than it being the Syrian princess. As for male servants they were just staying still looking at Britt happy with the Pharaoh.
Looking down at the group Britt looked down at her friends who were looking up at her. They were shocked to hear this but noticed their friend was looking down at them. They smiled at her glad that she had found the one she loved and they had an idea that the Pharaoh may have been the boy she told them about all those years ago.
"If there are any questions please take them to the guards and I will answer them later. thank you for your time." Atem said and then walked in the Palace with Britt. "well I think that went well." He said to her and she smiled nodding. "Yes, it went better than I expected." She told him. As they were walking back to his chambers.
Once inside the room he grabbed his spare cloak after being starred at like a god. Then he put the sign back on his room door as they departed through the secret passage under his bed. When they came out of the abandoned house it was easy to see the market. Zoey and Nina were in the market trying to find a way for the bandits to survive without stealing.
Nina was looking but then she noticed Britt walk out of a building and so her and Zoey went over to them. Britt smiled at Nina and Zoey but since they were out in the open there wasn't much she could really do or say. Since Britt and Atem were heading to her family's house, Nina and Zoey followed.
Once inside Atem removed the hood of his cloak and used a cloth to wipe off the sweat. Nina and Zoey relaxed but Nina was happy to see her friend. Britt turned to her friend Nina with a smile "Nina, my dear friend. I do hope your father is feeling better." She said to her. Nina nodded "yes, he is feeling much better. Thanks to those home remedies you offered us before you left." Nina told her. Britt didn't mind helping out a friend but she knew it was because of her mother she knew what to do. It took Nina a second to realize that Atem was the Pharaoh of Egypt and she was about to say something when Britt covered her mouth. "Keep calm and just treat him as you're treating me. No one of high power." She told her friend. Nina looked at Britt confused but it was not every day you would hear this.
Atem was looking out the window knowing he'd need a new adviser that he could trust. Finding out his old adviser was the one who tried to assassinate him and assassinated his parents didn't make him happy. "had it not happened though. I may not of been close to Britt like this." He thought to himself. Finally he turned his attention to the three girls talking and was glad to see Britt was still happy. "Zoey, would you be my new adviser?" He asked her. Zoey looked at him in a way she was shocked but then she had protected Britt from the other bandits. "um well Pharaoh I have to take care of the bandits and find a way for them to survive without killing someone." She told him.
Atem gave it some thought "ugh that guards may try to kill me but we might be able to give them shelter. Simple work for a place to rest and some food." He told Zoey. Britt overheard this though she knew some of the guards would not like this. Zoey agreed to it and Atem was glad that it was figured out.
Turning his attention to Britt he knew that they had to come up with a date. "So when would you want to do the ceremony?" He asked her and Britt wasn't for sure. "um it doesn't matter to me when." She said which was true. Atem gave it some thought "how about two months from now?" He asked knowing many questions were going to be asked of him. Britt agreed to that finding it perfect.
Everything seemed to calm down and for once Britt and Atem felt like they could relax. Everything was ruined when they saw the guards. Both of them hid on the other sides of the window in worry that the guards were looking for them. Nana kept watch and noticed they were looking for something or someone. "have you found it yet?" A guard asked. "no, the boy still has it. We have to find it." another said. "what's so important about this mirror?" a third guard asked and the other two were shocked. Atem stiffened hearing about the mirror his grandmother had given him. "the mirror was a gift from the Pharaohs grandmother. It is said she could see her enemies in it." the first guard said. "we have to find him." the second guard said then they all left.
Once the guards were out of sight Britt went over to Atem and gave him a hug. He hugged her back glad that he had her to help him out. "If they don't find it. I'll go with Zoey to find it." Britt told him. Atem shook his head no "they will find it. I don't want to trouble you." He told her.
For the rest of the day they relaxed in her families house. Zoey had left to go talk to the bandits. Atem and Britt walked out of her parents house saying bye and Atem asked Aiden to come to the palace tomorrow. After that Atem whistled and a horse came into view. It stopped infront of them and Atem helped Britt on then got on infront of her. Holding on Britt waved bye to her family as they left.
Taking the backway into the palace once they were in the stables Atem and Britt got down. Seeing the guards were still looking for the intruder he started to brush down the horse. Britt walked over to her Stallion and pet it. Then out of the blue a boy turned around the corner and bumped into her. She looked down at him and Atem said hello to him unknowing who he was.
The boy looked between them and then at Britt "hey tell them you didn't see me and I'll give you something nice." He told her. Guards ran right past Atem smirked "not caring if I am here or not. True guards." He said. "who are you?" Britt asked the boy curious as to why he was running from the guards. The boy looked at her. "I have no name." he told her. Atem tilted his head in confusion. "how do you not have a name?" he asked. The boy slunk back into the straw. "none of your buisiness." he said to Atem.
"you don't need to be afraid. Are you a servant here?" Britt asked just wanting answers since most of the servants knew her but there were ones she didn't know too. He shook his head. "No just a visiter." he said to her then the boy looked up at her. "and who are you?" He asked her out of being curious. "my name is Britt. " She told him knowing it was fair to answer his questions since he answered a few of her questions. She knew his question was just asking for her name. "Oh the one who will marry him!" he said then pointed to the pharaoh. "the one who owns this." he added then took out a mirror. "some one wanted it very badly." he told her.
"the mirror."she thought as she saw it in his hand "hand it over. That doesn't belong to you." She told him now understanding why the guards were after him. She had a slight idea "give me the mirror and I keep quiet on ever seeing you here." She told him in making a fair deal hoping Atem would go with what she said since she was trying to get the mirror back for him. The boy held onto the mirror. "but the man said he really needed it." he said holding onto the mirror. "he said it will help me find my family." Atem looked over listening. "He is wrong. the mirror shows enemies. not your loved ones." he said. the boy looked over. "But then...who do I turn to...all my life I have been alone. he said he would help me!" Atem fell silent thinking. "I know some people who could help you. She'll be arriving tomorrow with a group who could help you find your loved ones." Britt said knowing it would give the bandits a chance to prove their selves when they would be arriving. Even Zoey would agree that having the bandits could prove their selves by helping out someone in need instead of stealing from them.
The boy looked at her but then shook his head. "but what about the man?" Atem ducked as a guard ran by again. "they certainly want to get you badly." he said. "like he said the mirror can only show enemies and so the man lied." She told him and knew it was only a matter of time before the guards would find him. So the boy had to make a decision before the guards realized where he was. "like he said the mirror can only show enemies and so the man lied." She told him and knew it was only a matter of time before the guards would find him. So the boy had to make a decision before the guards realized where he was.
What will happen to this strange boy now? Who is he?
