Chapter 2: Past Memories

After school, Ami slipped into the library where she found a rather interesting program in her compact computer; an electronic diary that detailed Celestial Mercury's exploits in Ancient Egypt.

Dear Diary,

I have been fluctuating between Princess Mercury and Celestial Mercury today. I fear something dark is coming. I've sought out Apollo's guidance two days ago. He tells me to 'beware of the Dark Shadow'.

Queen Selenity had summoned me before her just three hours ago. It seems that she too had felt the animus darkness, Zouc Necrophyes.

I was to head down to Egypt and destroy the shapeless entity. I accepted the mission silently, even though I knew I would not be able to rid Necrophyes by my power alone.

Queen Selenity's word was law and I have no choice but to obey, even if it would cost me my life.

However, I rejoiced at seeing my childhood playmate, Atemu once again. No doubt he had ascended the throne to become Pharaoh.

P.S: Send a message to Atemu to inform him of my arrival.

P. : Wonder if he still remembers me.

Dear Diary,

I was teleported to the Egyptian palace in Thebes at daybreak. Down on Earth, it was late morning. I immediately found myself in the middle of the royal gardens. The palace must have expanded since the last time I was here.

I quickly untangled myself from the flowery maze and found myself. Quite unfortunately lost. A palace guard, by the name of Ishtar Mailk, found me and led me to the royal court, where Atemu was holding his court session.

Atemu was kind enough to lead me to the women's quarters and situated me in the guest chambers.

I must admit Atemu know what I require.

My rest chambers had a table, a bed with a high pillow and trunks of linen clothes.

On the table were cosmetic boxes and jars, jewel cases and various hair ornaments.

Laid beside the bed were pots of sweet-smelling ointments, toilet vases and perfume jars.

A long table was laid out in the middle of the room with eating utensils and a crystal bowl of fruit.

Two windows were erected on the wall, one was on the all facing me and the other near the bed. Both had curtains drawn on both sides. A harp-like lyre sat alone beside a third table which ad a pen case, ink and rolls of papyrus.

After I redressed myself into more suitable clothing, Atemu took me on a guided tour around the largely revamped palace. We made small talk, mostly about Atemu's engagement with the Prince of Lower Egypt. I had to smile. Even when we were young, Atemu's sexual inclination was no secret. I had long suspected he leaned to the 'other side'. so to speak. But then again, Uranus and Neptune are 'more than just friends', so same-sex relationships are no big surprise to me.

What really surprised me was Yuugi, the Prince of Lower Egypt. I was awestruck by how alike he was to Atemu. Apart from the difference in height and hairstyle, the tow of them could very well pass off as twins.

I feel happy for Atemu, having found his soulmate, even though it was a male. I could see the positive influences on Atemu whenever he was with Yuugi. Atemu seemed a lot less tense and genuinely happy with Yuugi around.

20th Day Second Month of Inundation Atemu 2nd Year aka 77h Day WinterThrone Selene 36th Year

Dear Diary,

Atemu had escorted me to the Temple of Keepers in the late hours of the afternoon. There I was introduced to the two head priests.

Shandi was the overall head priest of the Temple and a guardian to the Seven Millennium Items. He also bears the Millennium Key.

Ishizu was the head priestess and was Shandi's second-in-command. She was also another Millennium Items guardian and she bears the Millennium Tauk.

So, imagine my surprise when I was bestowed one of the four remaining Millennium Items; the Millennium Scales.

The moment I touched the Scales, I felt something stir within. That 'something', I later learnt was the Abyss Beast.

A soft "Ami?" interrupted Ami's reading and the girl quickly closed her computer shut.

"Hai, Yugi?" she replied, turning to face her short cousin.

"It's time to go." he reminded her.

Ami nodded and the cousin pair headed out.
