A month had passed since Helia and Flora talked to Mirta since then Roy had thrown a duelling tournament to over thrown Helia as the King of Games. That plan didn't work since Helia won the tournament and collected another Egyptian God card along with the rod from Mirta's brother Nex.
Flora had turned down her invitation and focused on cheering on Helia.
Now sitting in his room Helia laid out the Millennium items he had so far onto the bed. Flora entered the room wearing a blue mini skirt and a pink blouse.
"Sweetie, Saladin has left for his dig. He won't be back for a few weeks." She told him.
"Thanks, hope he enjoys it." He turned his attention to her. "This has been the first time he has done a dig since finding the puzzle last year."
Flora looked onto the bed and saw the item. "Four down, three more to go."
"Yep. Not sure how to go about getting the others." He sighed.
"Don't worry about it, sweetie. The bad guys usually find you." Flora walked over to him. Helia stood up to hug his beloved's waist. The brunette wrapped her arms around his neck.
"That's what I don't like. I am putting you in danger and if anything happens to you I would never forgive myself." He kissed her forehead.
"Helia, I knew what I was getting myself into when agreeing to help you." The brunette stated. "Besides my powers are improving with your help so you don't have to be so scared of me getting hurt."
"Flower, I love you too much to not be concerned about your safety." He replied.
"Okay." She answered. "I have some good news. When over the wedding list and almost everything is ready for the wedding. The only thing left to do is work out the guest list and seating chart for the reception."
"That shouldn't be too hard. Our closest friends, Saladin, Jason, Galatia, Mirta and Nex." Helia spoke.
"That's just fifteen people." Flora checked it off. "Thinking about inviting Roxy, the girl we met in Roy's duelling tournament. I still keep in touch with her."
"Sure and we can invite her boyfriend Manuel, he was in the tournament also as well as Throne and Jared."
"Your friends from Duellist Kingdom." Flora remembered them. Snapping her fingers a sheet of paper appeared and the names mentioned earlier were written down. "There is also Vanessa, Nova, Anne and Nebula from my dance group."
"From Art put down Nereus, Bishop, David and Eddie." Helia added.
The two continued till seventy people were on the list.
"Glad that's over with." Flora put away the list. "What you up to now?"
"How about a date? We can go watch a movie before having a dinner date."
"That sounds like a plan." Flora replied. "When we reach home I can wear your favourite outfit around the house since we are alone."
Helia liked the sound of that. "And I know what you would like."
"You will have to save your date for another time, my King." A female voice was heard.
The two looked around and saw a woman with long blonde hair, fair skin and black eyes. She had on a cream coloured robe with a golden key hanging around her neck.
"Who are you?" Helia questioned, holding Flora close to him.
"My name is Daphne, I am the keeper of the Millennium Items and I am here to give you the theses." She took out the Millennium Scale and Key. "All you need now is the Ring and your journey will be almost completed."
"You are also a Spirit. I sense you are not of this world." Helia added.
"You would be correct. I am a Spirit wondering the Earth for the past three thousand years awaiting for the return of the mighty King." Daphne explained. "Once you get the Ring I will accompany you and Queen Flora along with Mirta and Nex to the Tomb of Kings to not only destroy the Millennium Items but the evil one."
A golden eye appeared on Helia's forehead. "Someone with an item is trying to break into the shop."
Daphne gasped. "The ring has finally appeared."
"Whoever is the owner has an evil aura around him." Helia left the room and ran downstairs.
Flora was about to run after Helia when Daphne stopped her. "My Queen please stay here. Someone strong needs to protect the items. The powers I have are not as strong as the ones Helia gave to you."
'Helia.' The brunette thought.
The raven hair male ran down the stairs and into the Game Shop to see a man with lavender coloured hair, fair skin and somewhat muscular body. He had on a white shirt with blue jeans and the Millennium Ring around his neck.
In his hands were the three God cards that Helia had gotten from Mirta and Nex.
"Return those cards now!" Helia was on the defence. He sensed great evil coming from him.
"Yeah right you bastard King. I will kill you first then your bitch of a fiancée before taking those items." The intruder commented.
"You will be dead before laying eyes on Flora." Helia hissed.
The intruder laughed. "I have seen enough to know she is a freak in the sheets. Maybe instead of killing her I should take her as my whore."
"You were watching us make love?!"
"I have to keep my eyes on the competition." He laughed manically. A golden eye appeared on his forehead. He was ready to attack.
Helia put up his defences. 'How could I have not sensed this monster watching me and Flora? He could have attacked us at any time.'
The intruder attacked Helia with a beam of light. Helia quickly dodged it and attacked him with. He used his hands and set the unknown male on fire.
The male released the cards from his hands as the fire engulfed him. Daphne who had come downstairs to assist the former king saw the intruder and gulped. 'It can't be him.'
The intruder made the flames disappeared and attacked Helia once again. The duel continued till Daphne intervened and gave the raven hair male the underhand and destroyed the male.
The ring landed on the ground beside the three cards.
Helia took up the ring and cards before turning to Daphne. "You know the identity of the male that attack me, don't you?"
"Yes, I do your highness." She replied. "Can we please go upstairs so I can explain it to you and Queen Flora."
Helia agreed. Once the two headed upstairs and into the male's room, Helia placed the ring along with the others to make up the seven.
The former king took a seat on a computer chair with Flora in his lap. His arms were wrapped around her waist, wanting nothing more than to keep her safe.
Daphne stood in front of them and explained. "You see the man that attacked you is Tritannus. He lived in ancient Egypt when you ruled as King."
"What?!" Helia and Flora were surprised.
"You see Tritannus, the Flora of the past and I were friends back then. He had a thing for Flora but she never wanted to be in a relationship with him for her heart belong to another." Daphne explained. "Even though the two hadn't met face to face Flora had seen the King on more than one occasion and fell in love with him not for his looks but kind heart. When Tritannus found out that the King had stolen his beloved heart he became pissed and wanted to get rid of King Helia and take over the throne to win Flora's heart."
"So all of this is because some dude is jealous of my love for Helia." Flora commented.
"It's a part of it." Daphne told her. "Tritannus ran back to the village of his birth to find an army to attack the palace only to see it was destroyed by the royal family a few days earlier to create the Millennium Items. The pain of losing his village and Flora overwhelmed him and the evil that was left behind from the creation of these Millennium Items corrupted his heart and soul. He turned into a monster and for several weeks he roamed Egypt creating monsters of his own to attack the royal family."
"These items were made from something evil?" Helia asked.
"Yes, my King. Your father and uncle had used dark magic and the souls of the villagers to create the Millennium Items. No one knew of it till after you were trapped in the puzzle." The blonde hair woman answered. "Once Tritannus had gathered created enough monsters he attacked the capital, Cairo where the great battle took place. Tritannus's body was destroyed but since he was here in the present time the only explanation I can gather from it is that he put a piece of his Spirit into the ring."
"Do you know how he came about having the ring and how he got to spy on me and Flora in our most intimate moments?" Helia wanted answers.
"When I was chosen to be the Keeper of the Millennium Items the ring was not given to me so I have no idea. A member of your royal court gave me the items but told me that the ring had disappeared. As for how he managed to see you and Queen Flora doing it, he must have overheard your activates from a faraway distance so you could not sense his power." Daphne saw his consider and continued. "If it helps he couldn't attack you. The powers that are blessed onto the heir of Egypt are strong enough to withstand any attack but since your memory has not completely returned your maximum power has not been tapped in as yet."
"So since we have all seven items, what's the next move?" Flora asked.
"Ancient Egypt." Daphne answered.
Tritannus's spirit roamed the chambers within the Millennium Ring. He put a piece of his spirit into the ring just in case someone had overpowered him and destroyed his body.
Chuckling softly, he thought. 'I might have been bold to have attacked him so early. No matter just as long as he gets me to the past I will kill him, get revenge for my village and Flora will be mine.'
