This is how we'll stand when/when they burn our houses down/this is what will be, oh glory ~ Let the Flames Begin, Paramore
Everything burned, was burning and will burn.
These were facts, carved in stone with blood and bone. You must always be stronger, faster, smarter, if you wish to survive. Because given the chance, everyone (everyone!) would watch you burn. The thief was stronger and faster and smarter than even the great Pharaoh himself, and his plan was fool-proof. He would burn the entire world like they had done to his village. He would watch Egypt be reduced to nothing more than embers. And he would destroy the world before it ever got the chance to destroy him.
Yes, the thief could see it now, looking over the desert sands. He would become its master by becoming its destroyer. He.

They. They were raging. Hot lashes of fire to his skin. Angry at his resting, angry at his subtlety. The thief can't help but let out an unhinged laugh into the crisp desert air at that. They think he has forgotten what happened to them. How silly, how ridiculous. Even after all these years, they still have not come to understand that all he is (and all he ever will be) is them. Their hate, their thirst, their burning. Him! Him! Him!
They've calmed, comprehending that he can not move across the desert when they are in furies like this. They've settled, back to what the thief is use to, what he can handle. He could hear their voices (always.) even when they weren't raging. It had become something like a pulse to him.
(Get up,get going,avenge us,get up,get going,avenge us)
The thief closed his eyes (silhouettes of those sacrificed for greatness) and exhaled (the charred remnants of his village, his home.) And like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, he knew that soon he would emerge from the smoldering remains of Kul Elna victorious.
(Get up,get going,avenge us,get up,get going,avenge us)
And slowly the King of Thieves rose to carry on with his destiny.
A/N Wow. I can't believe, ten chapters. What a ride this is. Firstly I must thank everyone who has ever reviewed, reviews really do mean a lot. Secondly, it took ten chapters for me to write about Thief King Bakura? Hopefully, I'll be able to sneak more of him in.
