Chapter 12
Seth lay in bed humming to himself. In a few days Mahado would have finished healing, and the pharaoh was back too, meaning he'd be back to having virtually no duties.
"Seth?" It sounded like a female voice, but it wasn't Isis. Where had he heard it before.
He sat up and looked at the woman "Oh… it's you. That… goddess girl (or something) what do you want?"
Sheetal sighed and held a light above her head, then sent it flying into Seth "OW! What was that?"
Sheetal shook her head and began to leave, then changed her mind and came back to him "As horrible a man as I see you to be, I don't have much choice" Seth blinked "The pharaoh is an unsuitable master for Akefia, and I'd rather not leave him in Aknoden's hands… for both of their sakes. That leaves you as the only remaining member of the royal family that can act as his master"
"Care to run that by me again?"
"Akefia no longer obeys orders from Atem. He will only listen to you" Sheetal said slowly "And Atem left him prisoner to the Ringori" (Made up name of tribe/civilization/thing) "As his new master it's your job to get him back!"
Seth cursed lightly and rolled over to go to bed.
OOOOO
Klel held the knife against Akefia's chest, ready to deal the final blow, but rather than drive it in, it slipped from his hand "I… I can't" Akefia scowled at him "Why… were you supposed to die back then?"
"It's really not your business" Akefia muttered, picking the knife up himself.
"Your master didn't abandon you" Klel muttered "I sent him away. It didn't occur to me that you'd be blamed for it, but I guess with your hands…"
"He probably saw it as a good opportunity to wash his hands of me" Akefia said softly after a minute, not quite willing to drive the knife in himself either, though he did want to die. "As long as I'm not causing him trouble I suppose he doesn't really care where I am"
"But aren't you at least useful to him?"
"I'm a problem. And as long as I'm not one, why should he care what happens to me. In fact I wouldn't be too surprised if he preferred it this way!"
Klel scowled "What's your name?"
"Akefia. Why?"
"How are you a problem?"
"I was a tomb robber" he laughed a little "Actually, I robber the tomb of the current pharaoh's father. Even dragged the mummy all the way to the palace"
"And you don't think you deserve this?"
"No. He's the one who deserved it! The royal family really isn't as great as it seems" He frown "And… now that I'm an angel I can't finish the task I was given. Even if the pharaoh would let me… I can't touch them now. That hurts worse than those bars do"
"Yeah well" Klel had know idea what 'them' was, but placed a hand on the bar "It doesn't-OW!" he ripped his hand back "WHAT? NO! That spell shouldn't affect me!"
"So I guess neither of us have that great of masters, huh?" Akefia said bitterly.
"N-no" Klel said "I'm useful to my master. He probably just forgot to set the spell so it wouldn't hold me in?"
"Useful?"
Klel sighed "I… this isn't my first master. The man who founded the Ringori was a great leader named Hatsum. At the time, I'd just come from the heavens and I picked him as my master. Angels are immortal. We don't die of old age, but the same can't be said for humans. Hatsum died, and I became the servant of his son, then his son, and now Tyren, my current master. Hatsum was a great man, who looked to better peoples lives and was very considerate of how he used me, always aware of the fact that I was a living creature too. Tyren sees me only as a tool"
"Did you know you have really small wings?" Akefia asked. Klel growled. If there was one thing he hated, it was when people asked questions and didn't listened to answers "I'm kind of jelous. Mine stand out way to much. And you're are darker too. I hate having white wings. Do you dye those?"
"No they're just always like this. They're hard to fly with. You shooting them didn't help!"
"I don't know why I did it. I guess I didn't want you taking out Atem before I… I…! Hey… if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours"
"If you're that itchy I'll-"
"No stupid" Akefia growled "It's an expression. You don't like this Tyren guy, do you?"
"No…"
"But you can't touch him"
"No" Klel muttered.
"And I hate my master, Atem, but I can't harm him either"
"So both our lives suck. Don't worry. Maybe his son or daughter won't be as bad"
"Anyone from the royal family is bad" Akefia said darkly "Look. I can't touch Atem, and you can't touch Tyren, but there's no law saying I can't whack Tyren, and you can't take out Atem"
"And if Tyren and Atem our gone, we're free to choose a master who we agree with!" Klel grinned
"Friends?" Akefia offered up a black hand.
"Friends" Klel took the hand and shook it.
Isaya: Okay. Before you guys all go off saying 'But Klel let Atem run away' the deal is that Klel only kills Atem if Akefia kills Tyren, and vice versa.
Akefia: So I'm gonna be free?
Isaya: Nnnnnnnnnno. Cuzz Sheetal made Seth you're knew master.
Seth: YES! Look out Kefa! It's payback time!
Isaya: That's such a cool name
Seth: looks up from beating the crap out of Kefa huh?
Isaya: Cuzz it look's like 'Seth' but you say it like 'Set'. Isn't that neat?
Seth:Whatever. Goes back to beating up Kefa
Yami: Aren't you gonna stop him? That's you're favorite character right there.
Isaya: Actually, I'm gonna go cuddle my new stuffed kitty. Cobble. He's so cute. I can't believe my parents let me get him. Between my other 20 some stuffed cats and the real one who sleeps on my heater There isn't any room for Cobble.
Yami: Scoots away
