The night was full of stars. Seth gazed silently up toward the sky, bidding it his last night on life. He could not sleep. Tomorrow would be his last battle on Earth. He had time to rest, but went against it. Seth wanted to remember all the beautiful things in his life.

He walked around the palace. Golden roof covered the queen's bedroom. He knew a secret passage to get to her, but he didn't want to see her tonight.

'If I see her again, then I would never be able to fight and die tomorrow!' he told himself.

He loved her so much, and it pained him to see her struggling to balance her life while he's around.

'If I'm out of the picture, then she'll be able to move on!'

Seth sighed, sitting himself on a cold, cemented fountain in the middle of the courtyard.

"Seth…" a voice whispered. Alarmed, Seth raised himself up and began to take out his deck. He would use the Blue Eyes White Dragon power to defend himself against the unknown enemy. He looked around the darkness but saw nothing.

"Seth…" the voice crept closer.

"Who's there?" he asked. Seth felt someone crept behind him. He spun around. The shadow moved closer into the light. Seth immediately recognized the figure.

"Seth…" Isis spoke softly, " Must you be on guard against me every time?" she smiled slightly at him.

The last person that he wanted to see tonight was her. However, fate had never gives him what he wanted anyway.

"I'm sorry my queen," he bowed his head to her.

"Why are you behaving like this?" Isis was amazed.

"I don't know what you mean by that," he replied coldly.

"Why are you so being so cold around me? Do you want to punish me?" her eyes lifted up to face his.

"No…" he turned away.

"Seth… tell me what's wrong? Is it something that I said?"

"No…"

"Then what is it?" her eyes began to fill with tears, " tell me why you're so cold with me?"

"I have to,"

"Why?"

"For your sakes…. Your happiness"

"How can I be happy when you ignored me like that?" she walked by him, putting her delicate hand on his shoulder.

Seth gazed into her eyes again. This time, he felt lost.

"Isis, don't do this to me. I cannot bear to see you before my death."

Isis took a deep breath," Your death? You mean that you're planning to leave me forever?"

Seth sighed," Look, I don't want to hurt you. It's better if I die and you be living happily with Yugi than to have you struggling between both of us. I have to go. The pharaoh can't die!"

More tears fell down from her eyes. Isis collapsed on the ground. Seth leaned down and pulled her close to him to comfort her.

"I can't…."she said between tears, " I don't want you to die! I love you! Let the world die! Let Egypt die! I don't care! I don't want to lose you! You're the only reason that I lived! If you die! I'll die!"

Seth pulled her closer," I know….I know that you loved me. I loved you too. However, I cannot live in this lie forever! When I see Yugi, I saw how much he loves you! I cannot betray him any more! I cannot betray my best friend anymore!" He explained.

Isis stared at him. Those words were like thousand of knives lunging at her heart.

"Seth…."

Seth looked at her. He loved her too much to let her go. He couldn't resist her. Without thinking, he leaned over and kissed his queen. She did not resist his kiss…

-----------------------------

The golden lights shone on his face. Seth got up from her bed. He dressed himself quickly and left the room quietly. He didn't want to wake her up. Silently, he walked upon the cold marble stone toward his room. He has much to do to prepare for the battle. He has to be as best as he could be when he faces Death.

Unknown to him, someone had saw him coming out of the queen's room. The mysterious figure smirked slightly.
