The desert heat scorched the Earth. Seth wiped the sweats from his face and looked sharply ahead. The battle was on top of his mind. Riding gallantly on his horse, Seth watched the enemy approaching from afar. His army stood behind him, waiting for his command. At the first sound of his voice, they would follow him into battle.
He held his sword up high. Tapping on his horse, his face grew serious.
"Charge!" he yelled like a thundering god. His horse galloped furiously ahead, attacking into the heart of the enemy's army.
His hands were swift like a lion attacking its prey. One by one, his enemy fell down before him. Blood covered his clothes. One man, obviously the general from the other side, came beside him. The man gave him the challenging look. Smirking, Seth followed him out of the crowd.
There they fought. The man was fast, but not fast enough for Seth. Dodging one attack from another, Seth drove the sword into the man's heart. Blood spilled onto his face. Wiping the liquid off his eyes, he resumed into battle.
The battle lasted for a long time. Seth army was winning. His ingenious tactics gave the Egyptian army over the enemy. Seth was smiling proudly as he killed more soldiers. His chance of coming back to his lady was getting bigger by minutes. However, just as he was about to cut the throat of another guy, an unknown force knocked him conscious. His eyes shut down as the world became black around him…….

Isis walked gracefully as she went to see her husband. She wanted to get some news about Seth's battle. Suddenly, she stopped as she saw someone familiar.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Oh, I'm just visiting to see how you are," the person replied with a smirk.
Isis felt danger around that smirk. However, she pressed that feeling aside.
"How are you doing lately my queen?" the figure asked.
"I'm fine," she smiled at Y. Bakura (AN: I don't know the Egyptian name for Yami Bakura so he's just gonna be Y. Bakura in this fic)
"I'm sure you are," Y. Bakura smiled again. Isis was startle.
"What do you want?" she asked immediately. Isis knew that Y. Bakura was up to something. He was one of Yugi's officials, but he had always struck her as someone not trust worthy. Yugi had always been very trusty toward his officials, and therefore did not see anything suspicious about him.
"What are you talking about? I just wanted to visit you, to see how you're doing. What made you think that I wanted something?" Y. Bakura replied innocently.
"Because you never visit me to see how I was doing," Isis answered sternly.
"Alright," Y. Bakura stopped smiling, " You got me. You're right, I wanted something. And you, my queen, is going to get it for me!"
"What made you think that I'm going to cooperate with you?" Isis was annoyed and afraid. She did not like where this conversation was going. Y. Bakura would never asked her for help, unless he has something on her.
"Well…because I happen to have some information on you….and the high priest,"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you, and the priest, and last week. Tell me queen, where were you and Seth at the last night before his battle?"
Her worst fear had come true. Isis didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Alright, what do you want?" She hated the idea of being black mailed. However, she had no choice but to comply until she could find another plan to get out of the mess.
"Good!" Y. Bakura exclaimed, " You're very smart woman! Alright, this is my plan,"
Isis gasped in horror at the sound of Y. Bakura suggestion. She never thought that one day she would be pressed into doing it. However, she had no choice.
"That's all," Y. Bakura finished the plan," I'll give you a week to get it for me. If I don't see it by the end of this week, kiss your boyfriend and your life good bye, okay?"
Y. Bakura laughed as he left the queen frozen there. Isis collapsed down on the floor as he was out of sign. She tried to hold back her tears. She didn't want to betray Yugi, but she didn't want Seth to face the death sentence either. If her affair was out, she was sure that both her and him would die. She didn't mind about her death, but she would never allow Seth to die because of her.
Isis touched her stomach and whispered quietly," My son, he'll return soon. Until then, you have to stay healthy and strong for him…for me…for both of us…"
Isis got up from the cold marble floor. She knew what must be done now. Walking gracefully, she headed toward Yugi's room.
