Prince's Humility. And to help me intro the new chaps are my old comrade
from Slave's Pride, YAMI AND BAKURA!!!!
Bakura: hey...
Yami: HI!!!
Hotaru: now I know what you're thinking. "Hotaru, why didn't they come earlier?" Well the answer is simple. I couldn't bribe them enough till now.
Bakura: I'm worth every dollar but Yami on the other hand...
Yami: HEY!!! I'm the important one; you're just unimportant and stupid!!!
Hotaru: now boys-
Bakura: stupid?!! You asshole!!! *tackles Yami and starts beating him*
Yami: *kicks Bakura off and snarls* bring it on!!
Hotaru: no people, let's be smart and bring it off.
Bakura: oh so now the whiny punk is gonna talk to us!
Hotaru: *grabs Bakura and puts him in a head lock* watch it ya bastard! Or I'll be kickin your ass outta here!
Yami: *falls over laughing*
Bakura: *growls* get off me!!!
Hotaru: *let's go* Yeesh...such a baby...
Yami: well Hotaru doesn't own anything except some of the characters, none from the show though, DUH!
Bakura: *punches her* HA!
Hotaru: *rubs her jaw and dives on him, beating him relentlessly* HA YOUR FREAKING SELF YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yami was wide awake and alert now.
"What? What did you just say?!!" He demanded.
"They know where Seth is, Sire. And it seems they were witnesses to "the battle" that occurred a while ago." The more the soldier spoke the more Yami needed to talk to them.
"Bring them to me immediately!" Yami Ordered, his crimson eyes flashing in what could only be a second's fear. The soldier bowed and left, returning moments later with two people beside him. One was a man and the other a woman. Yami recognized them immediately. They were the same two that Safiya had used to attack him years earlier.
"I see that the people haven't learned yet..." the woman muttered. Yami growled.
"Leave us!" The soldier did as he was told and Yami sat back in his throne. "So you two are still alive, ay? Well that's to be expected but not for much longer." The man spat on the ground and snarled.
"You don't scare us, Pharaoh. You may have killed Safiya but her spirit lives on in Seth!" he growled.
"Anubis you are WRONG! From the moment that boy came into my possession I have beaten the Safiya out of him!" Yami snapped.
"You can beat away memories...but not heart or blood. No matter how much you beat him, as long as he's alive Safiya lives on in him!" the woman yelled. Yami growled and jumped to his feet.
"ENOUGH! You two think you know it all...I'd like you to meet the one link you never counted on. HORUS!!" Yami bellowed. The teen walked into the throne room, the air of a prince practically pouring off of him.
"Yes father?"
"FATHER?!!" Anubis exclaimed.
"Yes, father. Horus is my son." Yami replied with a smirk. Horus looked at the three of them. But the moment his eyes met with the eyes of the woman both were hurled to the ground.
"Nailah!"
"Horus!" Both men went to their fallen family and tried to shake them awake. "What did that bitch do to my son?!" Anubis ran a hand through Nailah's hair.
"They are ensnared in a vision. We have no choice but to wait for it to subside." Anubis said softly, pulling Nailah protectively into his arms and glaring at Yami. Yami was snarling with impatience.
*~*~*~*
Athena sat in front of the fire, staring into it and letting her thoughts flow freely. She and Horus had been together for only a few months but she loved him deeply. His brother, Seth, caused him such anger though and she didn't like that. To please Horus, she would kill Seth. But it hadn't been as simple as that. She had wanted to kill Seth, but couldn't. If she did then Egypt was doomed. Even she, Horus's Lover, had to admit he was an exact replica of his father. She had hoped that Horus's mother would've influenced him some but he'd never talk about her, never. No one truly knew who Yami had used to conceive Horus. Rumors had it that Horus's mother was in fact Isis herself, and Horus encouraged this rumor. But Athena had her doubts. Judging by Horus's age there were two possibilities. Yanagi or Safiya. At the time Yami didn't have a queen due to a plague that claimed his last one. As Athena sat there pondering this Seth walked out of the tent and tapped her on the shoulder. She hissed angrily and jumped to her feet.
"What the hell?! Don't do that!!" She growled as she saw it was him.
"Sorry but you looked so serious...I wanted to know what you were thinking about." He replied softly.
"None of your damned business so if you don't mind I still have guard duty to attend to."
"What are you guarding anyway? The only thing out this far is a bunch of sand. And us but I mean my father wouldn't be looking this far out would he?" Seth asked. She sighed.
"I've seen him sweep across the Nile like a plague in search of just one high priest...for the crown prince he would do anything. But he may not have to..." she trailed off as she felt his gaze sharpen.
"What do you mean? What do you mean he may not have to?!" Seth demanded. Athena sighed softly.
"My sister and brother were captured...they will tell Yami where you are and where to find me." She answered finally.
"Nailah and Anubis would never!!" Athena stared at him. He knew who they were....what they were. Didn't he?
"You know them?" She asked. He nodded and her eyes grew even more cold and clouded. "Demons are useless to humanity...get used to being betrayed when you live with them. So TS for the rest of us. You might as well just leave and save Yami the trouble. I'll be gone before the sun rises." She stood and began to gather a few things.
"You're just going to leave the others?! They need you!!" Seth snapped. She glared at him.
"Ssh!! You'll wake them." She hissed, and then in a helpless whisper "I have no choice. If I stay than I'd be putting them all in danger, I will not do that. Zephyra can help them...and I'm sure that the other two will be fine..."
"Three" Seth corrected. She turned her head and looked down.
"No...two. Nariath is dying. The plague, the one that took your queen a few years ago, will claim him soon. I wish that I could help him. But oh well." She shrugged and moved into the tent, picking up the small boy and cradling him gently. True he was a teen but the disease had left him smaller than he should've been. He groaned and opened one eye.
"Athena? Morning already...?" he asked groggily.
"No, darling. I just wanted to tell you I love you and that you're gonna get better, with or without me. Okay?"
"Okay but...where you going?" he asked.
"Somewhere far away, but I can't tell you. I want you to repeat the one thing I always told you." She said softly.
"I will not trust anyone who doth not share my bloodline, and even my blood kin is to be kept in sight. Only one thing can hurt me and that is myself." He replied almost half awake.
"Shit..." Seth muttered.
"Mmm good boy, sleep well. But...one more thing?"
"Live free, die proud." Nari murmured as he fell back asleep.
"Goodnight my little Falcon..." she whispered, kissing him on the forehead.
