Britt adjusted in her sleep as she was comfortable it wasn't long before she woke up. She sat up yawning a little and stretched. She got up with a smile knowing what today was going to be about.
Atem sat on the bed. "mourning love." he said moving her hair out of her face."
Britt smiled at him "morning Atem." She said to him and didn't mind that he moved pieces of hair out of her face. She had been restless half the night but had slept well after waking up in the middle of the night.
Atem smiled. "today's the big day ain't it?" he asked smirking.
Britt nodded smiling at him glad they would finally be married today. She couldn't wait to do the ceremony.
Atem smiled. "Will you let me see the dress you picked out or your waiting for the ceremony for me to see?" he asked smirking. he couldn't wait for the ceremony for he knew the people would applaud their marriage.
Britt smiled with a slight smirk of her own " you'll see at the ceremony." She told him wanting it to be a surprise. She was happy that they wouldn't have to wait to be married soon.
Nana was still asleep with the book about the two goddesses beside her.
Adam stretched as he got up. "a good sand bath is perfect in the mourning!" he said and he shook himself off and walked back inside. He opened the door and sat down in one of the chairs waiting for other people to rise.
Nana rose and yawned as she walked out of her room with the book in her hands. she had stayed up a little late last night.
Adam was playing a soothing melody on his flute as he saw her. He waved and continued as some ghostly figures started to dance in the middle of the living room.
Nana watched him and was surprised to see what she saw as he played.
Adam looked over and waved. He patted the seat next to him as he continued to play as the images became more clearer. It was of Ra and Kiminekoka (Kimi) dancing together.
Nana walked over and sat down as she watched the images.
Adam finished the song and the images faded away but they were both in their arms and kissing as they did. Adam smirked. "I guess it's Ra's power to tell the tale of the gods through song."
Nana nodded and yawned a little "Kiminekoka is the the true name of the Goddess Bast. The Goddess of the Nile's true name is Anai. I found it in this book." She told him knowing every bit of information they had would be great.
Adam nodded. "Anai and Kiminekoka man her sister has a long name." He said making a joke. He sat up and stretched yawning. "everything is set for the wedding. I'm so excited. my favorite part will be the banquet. all the food prepared by the best chefs."
Nana got up "yeah, but after today Britt will be a Queen. " Nana said knowing the changes for Britt.
Adam nodded. "Queen of Egypt is a big calling. She will more then likely have fun with it and help Atem through tough times if they occur. which-" he looked at the flute. "will more then likely occur."
Nana nodded agreeing "yep. I just don't know if they will have time to help him get an heir to his throne. Past all this bad I think Britt would make a great mom if she got the chance to be. " she told Adam.
Adam nodded. "Yes I think she would be a great mom." he looked at the sky. "well we better get all dressed up and stuff if we want to get there in time to see her before the ceremony."
Meanwhile, Atem stood up as Bakura passed. Bakura smiled at them. "good luck you guys." he said before heading downstairs. He looked for the Syrian princess as he entered the dining room.
Britt smiled as she was excited about today.
Britt kissed Atems cheek "I should go meet up with Zoey." She told him as she got up and left the room. She walked to where Zoey was and walked in. Zoey has her dress and had kept it safe so she handed it to Britt who took it and switched into it.
Atem nodded as he watched her go. "I might as well get into my royal attire as well." He said putting on the pharaohs wedding attire. As he put on his crown he looked outside to see a few of the people Zoey leaded putting up the chapel. He smiled and put on his crown and left the room.
Britt looked at the dress and smiled as she had it back on. She really did love it with the purple lace in the middle at her waistline and the dress kinda short but not too short. It had that feel of a bride to it at least to her. Zoey smiled watching her "it looks amazing." She told her and Britt nodded.
Layla was watching people set up the ceremony for people to watch. She also noticed that there was a table with a knife and a ceremonial cup being taken to prepare too.
Bakura entered the kitchen and watched the cup and knife being set up. "ha who knew they would choose the blood mixing wedding." he said coming up behind Layla.
Layla nodded "it's a first I've heard of such a wedding." She said to Bakura.
Bakura nodded. "Atem's dad was the first one who thought of it. some kind of bonding happens when they drink each others blood because then the blood runs through them making them joined body and soul." he said.
Layla listened to Bakura "maybe it's what they want because of how she was a servant before all this." She said
Bakura nodded. "Yes it is amazing. anyone can find love in the most unlikely of places." he said smiling.
"yes, it is Amazing." Layla said to Bakura and knew things were different now for er and Bakura. She liked the difference though.
Bakura smiled knowing his life soon will be different. Even though it will not be as he thinks it will be different. He took out his harp and looked at it as it glowed faintly. "hmm?"
"something wrong Bakura?" She asked him seeing he seemed a little distracted.
Bakura looked closely at his harp. "My harp seems to be glowing." He said just then a light shone from it and hit the wall making a name shine on the wall. "undertaker?" He asked as the name faded. "what does that mean?
" I don't know." Layla said noticing the name as well.
Bakura scratched his head. "Hmm we need to look it up later." He said as he turned back to the book reading up on obelisk. "I also heard that Atem will spare Adam and Britt will spar her sister later today after the ceremony." He said.
While Bakura and Layla were watching everything be set up Atem walked outside surveying the chapel. "It looks great guys!" he yelled up at them. The men waved and returned to work. Atem walked back inside snuck into the library. He hoped to sneak a glance at Britt before the ceremony.
Britt and Zoey walked out of Zoe's room near the library and they were talking. In honest Britt was glad that she didn't need to do any work but she still had the want to do things like she used to. They walked past the library heading to check out what was going on.
Atem looked out the library and saw her pass. He smiled seeing her dress briefly. He looked into the wedding book where she chose the wedding. He flipped through until he saw the wedding they had to so. He read through it to make sure he had everything correct.
Britt walked with Zoey and took a peek out to look at the ceremony area. She loved how it looked "so you're defiantly happy." Zoey said and Britt nodded as she was waiting for when their ceremony would start.
Atem walked back out and up to his room overlooking the area outside. He smiled looking down seeing Britt. He waved at her and Zoey.
Britt noticed Atem and waved at him after seeing him wave. Zoey waved back too.
Atem smiled and went back in and downstairs to the dining room. "is the feast being prepared?" he asked as his chefs smiled. "yes the most exquisite will be served to the public." a chef said. Atem smiled.
Nana nodded agreeing with him and she went to her room to change into something nice for the wedding but not too overly nice since she would spar with Britt. When she was done she walked out with a nice green outfit that she had saved for special occasions.
Adam put on his vest outfit he could fight in and put his flute in his back pocket. He walked outside and to the roof looking toward the palace. Adam fed his horse and looked back inside. "hey we gonna get going or what?" he asked smiling.
Nana walked out and got on her horse after feeding it. "yes, we're going. " she told him.
Adam smiled and hopped on his horse. "then lets get going!" he yelled out into the air as he horse took off running toward the palace.
"oh." Layla said since she had no idea about the sparring matches. It was different to hear all thus since she normally never heard about things like this. Britt relaxed and she saw her friends were helping with getting everything done. Nana got her horse in a run for the palace and had noticed her dad and brother had not been home. She figured they must of already left for the ceremony.
Bakura flipped through the book as he saw something linking to the name. "Hey found something." He said pointing to a picture of druids around a grave.
Atem sat down on his bed waiting for the ceremony to begin. He smiled but calmed his nervousness as he looked up at the ceiling.
Adam rode his horse hard through the market and went into the royal stables. He hopped off and petted his horse. "sorry boy I shouldn't have pushed you so hard." He said.
Layla walked over and took a look at it wondering what was this all meaning. Britt felt nervous with this being public, but she kept herself calm as she noticed her brother Aiden was there. Nana showed up behind Adam since she didn't go as fast as Adam.
Bakura looked at it and his face went ashen. "no way, he is the bringer of darkness? this ain't good." He said scratching his head. "Could he be rising soon?" he asked.
Adam smiled and hugged Zoey and hugged Britt. "you look beautiful Britt." He said smiling.
Nana got down from her horse and walked over. "Thank you Adam" Britt said to him and Zoey had hugged him back. Layla listened to him "oh that's bad." Layla said hearing about it and wondered if they should be worried.
Bakura looked at the door. "we need to warn Atem!" he said.
Adam smiled and looked up at the almost complete chapel. "It's coming along good." He said. He looked back at Nana and smirked. "was I too fast?" he asked.
"no. I just didn't go as fast as you." Nana said to him and she smiled at her sister. Britt was calm with her family was there.
Layla nodded knowing it would be urgent.
Adam smirked. "true I need to apologize to my horse later." He said.
Bakura ran upstairs and into Atem's room. "Atem the harp shined." Atem opened his eyes and looked at him. "It said undertaker." Bakura said. Atem tilted his head. "that's the name of the demon who will rise if given a chance." Atem nodded. "alright...we'll deal with it." He said placing a hand on Bakura's shoulder. "We will deal with it. all of us." Bakura nodded reassured.
Britt smiled at them "did you find anything else like true names of the Goddesses or something?" Britt asked since the ceremony hadn't started yet. Aiden walked out to the group and took a look at his sister. "a one of a kind dress. Only my sister would choose." He said happy for her about today. Zoey knew this was an important day for her friend.
Britt kept watch while with her family and friends noticing the ceremony would start soon. Layla walked out to the group as she noticed everyone seemed happy and she was too about her and Bakura.
Atem walked outside as the priest walked to the altar and prepared his part. "good morning father." He said bowing to the pries. The priest bowed as well. "may the gods be praised on this wonderful day pharaoh." he said. Atem smirked and nodded. Bakura fallowed then saw Britt and walked over. "nice dress." he said smiling. just then the bells began to ring. "looks like it's starting. see you soon." He said going into the finished chapel and taking his seat. Atem stood talking to the priest as he set down the knife and cup. he heard the bells and smiled. "it's time."
Britt heard the bells start and knew it was time though she had a smile. Her dad walked to her helping her to where she needed to be. After her dad took his seat and Britt was beside Atem. Being beside him didn't make her feel so nervous but more confident on this.
The priest began. "Dearly beloved we are gathered ere today to join these two in holy metromony in the names of the gods and goddesses. Atem do you take Britt to be your wife." Atem nodded. "I do." The priest turned to Britt. "And Britt do you take Atem to be your husband?" he asked.
"I do." She said and was happy that they were finally doing this. But more importantly she was just happy that she could be with Atem.
Adam stood in the back holding his flute in hand.
Nana was watching with a smile with her dad beside her.
Bakura sat down and watched smiling. He knew that this might happen to him someday.
Layla sat beside Bakura watching this was something important to do.
The priest nodded and picked the knife up. "then if you would please cut your hand lightly and drop your blood into the goblet." Atem took the knife and cut his hand. He winced and let the blood drip into the goblet. He wiped the blade clean as Adam face went ashen and he left standing outside. Bakura watched on intrigued.
Britt watched and when it was her turn she took the knife cutting herself lightly which made her flinch. She watched as the drops of blood went into the goblet and then she wiped the knife clean. She also wrapped where the cut was so she wouldn't get blood on anything. Zoey was surprised to see this but didn't judge them. Nana wondered why Britt hadn't mentioned this to them that this was going to happen.
The priest stirred the cup lightly as Atem wrapped his hand up. The priest handed the cup to Britt first. "If you would please drink from the cup." he asked. Bakura tilted his head at this then he walked outside to where Adam sat. "you alright?" he asked. Adam shook his head. "Can't stand the sight of blood...makes me queasy." he said. Bakura nodded. "Yeah I can understand."
Britt nodded taking the cup and drinking from it first. When she stopped she handed it back to the priest to hand to Atem. It was different to do something like this but she was glad they were doing this. Zoey and Nana kept watch though Nana had noticed Adam had left.
The priest handed the cup to Atem. He took it and drank the rest and handed it back. The priest set it down. "And now these two are bonded forever by the same blood.": he said. "You may kiss the bride." he said to Atem and stepped back. Atem stepped forward. He leaned in and kissed Britt passionately. Everyone stood up and clapped. Bakura looked in and smiled. "looks like a picture perfect moment."
Britt kissed him back glad that things were great now with what happened. Nana smiled at her sister seeing that everything seemed perfect for them. Zoey was glad that they had the wedding they wanted. Though Zoey caught a glimpse of something flash and it took her a second to notice the bracelet on Britts wrist.
Atem pulled back as people continued clapping. He smiled out at the crowed then back at his wife. The crowd walked out into the dining hall into the banquet. Bakura stayed sitting down with Adam as Adam's face got back to it's normal color again. Adam took out his flute and played a romantic tune as Bakura got up and joined the crowd.
Britt smiled hearing the clapping and to be there with her husband. Her plan for the sparring match,with Nana was to change out of her dress so she didn't ruin it. Nana went over to Adam hearing his tune and wondered if she was ok. Zoey went with the others since she figured it'd be best to make sure nothing went crazy.
Bakura stretched. "well since the spar will happen soon lets go change so we don't ruin our clothes?" He asked looking at Britt. Adam glanced at Nana and smiled into the flute. He stopped playing. "Hey you not getting any food?" He asked jokingly. Bakura looked for Layla in the dining hall.
Nana nodded "yeah but probably after the spar match with Britt." She told Adam knowing it would be probably for the best. Layla waved at Bakura as she saw him come into the room.
Britt nodded agreeing and led the way but since she had changed into her dress in Zoe's room. she had to go back to Zoe's room to get her other outfit back on. Once she got it back on she walked out of Zoe's room and had a hold of her wedding dress. She made a stop by their room knowing Atem would be there anyway and she put the dress in there so it wouldn't be ruined.
Atem changed into his sparing gear. it had the same shine as his royal clothes but less restricted his movement. He smiled looking at at Britt. "hey love I thought you would change in here with me." He said smiling. He picked up his sword and swung it across his back.
Britt smiled "sorry." She said noticing his sparing gear. She set the dress down and walked over to him. "so this is what you're wearing during the spar with Adam?" She asked him and kissed his cheek glad that they were married now.
Atem smiled. "yeah it's my general clothes. it shows I am willing to fight." He said wrapping an arm around her. "so your fighting Nana in those clothes?" he asked smirking.
Britt nodded "yep. I'm fighting Nana in this." She said knowing she was able to move how she wanted in this outfit she had on.
Adam nodded. "same here, but I think I may forfeit cause I'm not feeling so well." He said as he put his flute away.
Nana listened to him "don't you need the power activated?" She asked knowing it was maybe not good that he didn't feel well. Layla looked at all the food "hm I don't know." She said
Adam shook his head. "I'll fight him another day or something but not today. I feel sick from seeing..." He looked down not mentioning it. "just can't do it today Nana."
Bakura walked over. "he Layla." He said then looked at the food. "you gonna eat now or later?" he asked.
Layla looked at all the food "hm I don't know." She said
Bakura smirked. "how about later where we can enjoy each others company without people staring at us?" he asked.
"ok. sounds great." Layla said to him
Bakura smiled. "come on i think Nana and Britt will spar soon." he said holding a hand out.
Atem nodded smiling. "you look great.". He looked up sensing something. "Well it looks like Adam won't be fighting today. it seems the blood ritual got him all queasy." He smiled. "good I really did not want to fight him." He said scratching his head. Adam leaned against the wall sitting. "But I will be there if anything happens between you and Britt. count on that." he said smirking.
Britt stretched a little "well you'll be there to see my fight with my sister. It's been like three maybe four years since I last sparred with her so I guess I'll see how much I've improved since the last time I went up against her." She said to him with a smile.
Atem nodded. "well lets get down there. the arena seems to be finished and filling up." He said looking out the window. The crowd had finished their food and was filling in for the afternoon entertainment.
Nana listened "yeah that's understandable. Though this also tests to see how much my sister has improved in her skills." Nana said to Adam
Adam stood up and twirled his flute lazily. "well I guess since the crowd is heading to the arena we might as well too eh?" he asked.
Britt nodded "ok let's go." She said with a smile and headed out but let him show her the way to the arena. Nana nodded and started heading over to the Arena knowing Britt would show up there too.
Atem walled with Britt to the arena. The crowd yelled out in cheer as he entered with Britt. "Thank you for coming. now for your afternoon entertainment." He bowed. "My wife Britt will have a rematch spar with her sister. Yes every precaution is taken to make sure nothing goes wrong." He said smiling.
Adam walked into the arena but stayed on the side holding his flute. Bakura walked in and stood by him as extra security.
Britt smiled seeing the crowd and knew things were much different when being a Queen. Nana walked forward and so did Britt but both sisters made sure they had their amulets on knowing how this was going to work. When the fight started Nana made a kick toward Britt who dodged easily and she knocked her sister down. Nana got up from that and her amulet started to react a little but as the fight progressed all it took was one wrong hit and when Britt went to hit Nana it was all that was needed to activate Nana's power. Nana's amulet glowed and her eyes went cat like since her amulet was the amulet of Bast. She hit Britt backwards and it sent her back some only to make her amulet react and the glow that would normally come from being in the Nile surrounded Britt. The fight took a turn from Britt and Nana going against each other to Kiminekoka and Anai going up against each other.
Adam jumped in the middle in front of Nana his flute shining bright. "STOP!" he yelled out in his own voice and Ra's. Atem did the same with his sword drawn and in front of Britt. "the fight is a draw." he said in obelisk's voice and his own. Bakura stayed on the sidelines his harp barely reacting at all. Suddenly an image of obelisk filled the area above Atem. he had a look of desperation and concern. Ra appeared over Adam and had the same look.
Britt stopped and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath to calm down. Anai showed up beside her using the amulet to be there as the glow around Britt stopped. Nana stopped but she didn't understand everything and the new power was new to her. Kiminekoka appeared by her as well using the amulet around Nana since it was no longer a fight.
Atem put his hands on Britt's shoulders. "Are you alright?" and the image of obelisk did the same to Anai. some people gasped. Adam walked up to Nana. "hey you okay?" he asked and Ra did the same. "your not injured anywhere right?"
Britt opened her eyes to look at him and she nodded. "yeah, I'm fine." She said but she felt a little weak from Anai's power. Anai did the same thing to obelisk. Nana nodded seeing Adam seemed worried and Kiminekoka did the same.
Atem breathed a sigh of relief. "thank the gods I was scared." he said. Obelisk did the same. Adam nodded. "good to hear" He said nodding. Ra did the same. Bakura smiled as the crowd watched on in anticipation. hey Atem you and Britt kiss that will convince Egypt that obelisk and Anai are together he thought to Atem and Britt using his item. hey Adam and Nana, you two if you want can kiss right now. it will show that Ra and Kimi are together as well and people will believe in the gods again. but only if you want to. he thought to Nana and Adam. Adam blushed bright and Ra did the same. Atems looked down lightly thinking it over. He leaned in and kissed Britt lightly.
Britt kissed him back knowing it was a way to help get Anai and Obelisk back together. Since that was on their list of things to do. Nana was a little speechless on it and Kiminekoka was the same as they watched Adam and Ra.
Atem kissed her passionately as obelisk did the same to Anai. Some people stared. other people gasped. but most of them cheered for the happy ending. they started to cheer Ra on too, but Adam had a face of pure red wandering what to do. Bakura shook his head. Nana you might want to help him if you want your first kiss from him. he thought to her with a slight smirk.
Britt closed her eyes letting the sounds of the people drown out as she kissed him back. Anai did the same as her but Nana was a little hesitant. She knew she had a slight advantage here so she figured this would help the gods and Goddess's so she leaned in and kissed Adam.
Atem pulled back and smiled touching his forehead to hers. Adam kissed back and the crowed roared into a cheer Bakura smiled. the crowd left and Adam looked at Nana with a bewildered face but a slight smile on his face. Atem smiled. "come on Britt I think our job for the gods is done." he said.
Britt opened her eyes and looked at him smiling when she felt how close he was. "yes, I think so too." She told him. "what's wrong Adam?" She asked him as she noticed his expression.
Atem smiled alright then." he wrapped an arm around her. "lets go then my wife." he aid smirking. Adam caught himself. "Oh uh...nothing just...never kissed a girl before." he said. Bakura smiled and turned to leave but then he fell to one knee holding his stomach. His harp did not glow instead it gave off an aery aura.
Britt nodded but then she felt something strange near by them. Nana smiled "I know." She said but then her amulet glowed and she looked around wondering what was going on. Something seemed to not feel right and she couldn't understand why.
Atem felt a presence as well as his sword glowed with a purple hue. Adam looked at his flute as it glowed brightly. Adam turned to Bakura who stood up His harp had turned into a scythe and he held it. Atem turned around drawing his sword. "no..." Adam said looking at him. Bakura turned around. He had yellow eyes and a maniac look on his face. "I have returned!" he yelled out in a demonic voice.
Britt turned to face Bakura and she touched her amulet to get Anai's help. The amulet glowed and her entire outfit turned the color of the Nile with Anai's sword by her side. Her eyes opened as they were the same color as her outfit. Nana looked at Adam "we have to do this to save him." She told him knowing they needed help. She used her amulet to use Kiminekoka power and her own eyes changed.
Adam nodded even though he hated it so much. "if on of us gets imprisoned..." He shook his head not thinking. Bakura sliced his scythe into the air cutting a portal open. "Your souls are now mine!" Atem growled. "Not anytime soon!" he yelled as the hue engulfed him and he charged. Bakura jumped and dodged his swing easily. Adam played his flute and the sword of Ra appeared in his hand.
Nana gave thought to it and looked at Adam "what if it's not one. what if it's missing a piece saying something about all of us. Since whoever would be trapped would have to find their group again." Nana said before Kiminekoka took fully over and had her weapon show up. Britt took out Anai's sword and ran to help out with the fight. Knowing they had to fight now.
Adam thought about what she said and nodded. "I will find out." He said as he charged Bakura. He dodged Nana and Britt easily but came face to face with Adam he froze returning to himself for a moment. "P...Push me in..." he said. Adam froze but Bakura knocked him back. "Fool!" he said. Atem raised his blade but Bakura blocked it.
Britt and Nana went in for a combine attack to try and stop Bakura. They thought using both powers at the same time may get the best attack. Britt made sure that Atem didn't get hurt while they did the combine attack. Nana knew that Adam was having problems with this since Bakura was who they were fighting.
Bakura jumped back and Atems sword hit the ground. Adam stepped in front of Bakura and kicked him making him crumple for a moment. Bakura got back up and backed away seeing Adam as Ra. He back was toward the portal and Adam looked at him with pleading eyes. "I can't do it." he said. Bakura raised his scythe but Atem blocked the attack again.
Britt and Anai were lost for words on this fight. Concentrating they were using another tactic but had to stay still for it to work. Making there be an opening for an attack on her but for the power it was what had to be done. Nana kept going back in for an attack since Britt was just standing there.
Bakura Smiled evilly as he kicked Atem back and blocked Nana's attacks. Adam backed up. "I can't do it...I don't want to..." He said looking down. Atem got back up as he attacked Bakura as well but gets blasted back by the aura surrounding Bakura.
Britt opened her eyes and they glowed "water" she said in a mix of Anai and her voice as some of the water from the Nile came and hit Bakura. The force behind it was strong and then she had a hold of her sword again and ran toward Bakura to make an attack. Having the element water around helped her power. Nana tried hard but found this complicated to do. She didn't know if she could help Adam with helping all this.
Bakura stumbled back from the force of the water but held his ground. he saw the opening at Britt and raised his scythe again knocking Atem back. Adam saw this and ran forward. "NO!" he yelled crashing into Bakura. Bakura got knocked back and fell partly in the portal. "NO" the demon voice yelled. hey guys...looks like I will have to find the way out...take care of my body I'm taking this demon with me. suddenly a spirit form of Bakura and the demon appeared above Bakura's body. The body slumped forward and the two spirits fought and struggled as they headed towards the portal. "FATHER!" Adam cried. Bakura smiled as he held the demon spirit. sorry...bye he said before disappearing into the portal. It closed and Adam knelt over Bakura's body. "no..no no no..."
Britt put the sword down and breathed a little heavy as everything changed back to normal. As soon as the sword was gone she closed her eyes and started to fall forward. Nana ran over and caught her seeing that Britt needed more practice.
Atem kneeled by Britt holding his head as obelisk left. "ugh my head..." He said shaking it off. He fell back and sat down looking at Bakura's body. "him of all people...he sacrificed himself instead of risk the rest of us..." he said looking down. he looked at Britt and Nana next to him. he sat up to one knee and helped Britt. "are you alright?" he asked. Adam hadn't moved he wiped his eyes. "he's gone..."
Britt opened her eyes some and nodded to him seeing that he was alright it took her a minute before her,eyes fully came open "that was more than I normally would use her power." she said to Atem knowing,the water attack was a new one.
