Saya was sitting at her desk, reading a book. It was in the middle of the night, but she wasn't even near tired. She looked up by hearing a strange noise and rolled her chair around.
"What is that?" She muttered with big eyes.
Her floor had suddenly become fluid and a man in white robes appeared. Saya jumped up and climbed upon her bed.
"Wh...who are you?" She squeaked.
"I am Shadi."
"Y...you're the one that saved everyone from Azul?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to speak to princess Arwen."
"Oh..., why?" Saya said while she climbed off her bed.
"This is something between the princess and me."
Saya hesitated, but the man somehow calmed her down. She therefore closed her eyes and let the Yami take over.
"My Princess." Shadi said while kneeling down.
"Stand up please, you don't have to do that for me."
Shadi smiled.
"Why are you here?"
"The Pharaoh is in great danger princess." "I'm afraid the only way to save him, is to break my word and let you regain the memories I've sworn to keep locked away."
"What are you talking about?" Arwen asked.
"I'm talking about the moment you retained the bracelet."
Arwen took a quick look at the golden object around her wrist.
"It is made by murder..."
"But it was your bravery that almost set free the 99 murdered souls my princess." "Now let me take you to that night."
Once again the room shattered. Arwen and Shadi travelled through darkness until a dark corridor formed around them.
"Hurry princess, they must not see you."
Arwen quickly followed the man in the white robes. They hid behind a pillar when a small group of men came by.
"...just has been completed." "There isn't a living soul left in Kul-Elna my lord."
"Very well, you have gathered all of it?" The voice of Aknaden asked.
"Yes my lord..."
There was a trembling in the man's voice.
"Let's proceed to the temple then."
"Shouldn't we wake your father princess, or your brother?" Shadi asked.
"No Shadi, first we need to find proof." "Let's follow them."
Shadi sighed and followed the fifteen year old girl to the stables. Aknaden and his followers were already gone, but the tracks from their horses were clear.
"My princess, it is my duty to keep you safe, you should stay."
Arwen was already on her horse. "The only way to keep me safe is to join me to that temple Shadi, or should I go alone?"
Shadi got on his own horse. "Of course not princess."
"Please call me Arwen Shadi, like you used too when we were young."
"We still are young princess, we only have gotten more responsibility's."
They rode out of the stables into the cold dessert night. It was a long ride, in which none spoke.
"Look there it is!" Arwen said as she pointed to a building rising from the sand.
They left their horses not too close and sneaked towards the entrance.
"I really do think we should alarm your family princess, or Mahad."
"Mahad would not have let me leave the palace, Shadi." "Now come on."
Shadi could not say a word as Arwen was already gone inside. He found her standing against the wall next to the passage to another room. A small group of people were standing in front of a large stone.
"They just poured the blood and bones into a bowl..." Arwen whispered. "You know what to do, right?"
Shadi nodded, although his mind told him not too. They watched how the gold that was found in Kul-Elna was melted and mixed with the bones and blood.
"We only have to get one of them, one of the items and the rest will be useless."
They watched as the yellow fluid was pour into symbols from the large stone.
"With these items, we shall save Egypt from all our enemy's." Aknaden said evilly.
He opened a large book and began to pronounce some sort of spell out of it. The fluid began to stir and in all of them, an eye formed. Shadi looked to his right and saw the determination of which Arwen looked towards the stone.
"You're not going back to the palace, are you princess?" "You never planned to take one of the items to your father..."
She smiled. "No Shadi, I intend to leave and take one of the items with me." "I will make sure no one can use the dark power of these items combined, for no one will know it were eighth."
Shadi closed his eyes and nodded. "And my part in this plan?"
"I would have hoped you would protect the other seven from getting in the wrong hands, as you did with me."
He opened his eyes and looked into his friend's. Her long black/violet hair tied into a knot with the last end hanging in her neck. She still wore the crown with the similar eye around her forehead.
"I will my princess."
"Excellent, now pack the items carefully, I wish to surprise my brother." The voice of Aknaden said.
"Now!"
Arwen sneaked into the room just as all the men were standing towards the stone. Shadi took a deep breath and stepped into the door.
"What is all this?"
"Servant, what are you doing here?" Aknaden asked surprised, but also mad.
In this moment, Arwen leaped forward and grabbed the bracelet that was closest to her. It felt warm, but didn't burn.
"Stopping you from this evil plan!" She yelled.
Now everyone turned to her.
"Princess Arwen..."
"Yes uncle, I cannot believe you would betray your own brother."
"Betray?" One of the soldiers asked. "This is the will of the Pharaoh my princess."
"She has gone mad, mad for power because of the jealousy for her father and brother, the future Pharaoh, cease her!" Aknaden screamed.
All the soldiers now came towards her, but she was prepared. She had secretly been studying the ancient spell book of her father and had found the only spell that would fit in her plan. Arwen closed her eyes and began chanting in the similar way her uncle did before.
"NO STOP HER!"
A green light covered her but also Shadi.
"What's happening my lord?" One of the soldiers asked.
Aknaden did not answer. His mind was working at top speed. This was a spell from the ancient book from his brother, but he did not know which one.
A tear fell from Arwens cheek as she looked one more time at her lifelong friend. He would regain the power to protect the other seven items as she would disappear along with the one item she was holding. One room filling flash of green light and she was gone, as was Shadi.
All the soldiers were looking around, confused.
"Now, what are you waiting for, pack the seven items and take them to the palace!" Aknaden ordered.
