Summary of previous chapters: Isis was Yugi's wife who fell in love with Seth(Seto), the high priest, and was pregnant with his baby. Seth was captured by Malik during a battle while Y. Bakura blackmailed Isis to get him Yugi's millenium item.

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

Isis stepped into Yugi's chamber. Yugi was surrounded by royal officials and were discussing news about Seth's battle. Yugi looked up to see his wife walking in. He dismissed all the people around him and went to his wife, giving her a hug.

"Oh, I miss you so much," Yugi exclaimed, taking her hand and led her to a table.

"My king, what is it you want of me? Why did you request for me during this hour?" she asked while sitting down next to him.

"Oh my precious wife, must you be so impersonal toward me?" Yugi smiled," I'm your husband after all. Can't I request my wife's presence anytime I wanted to?" he embraced her again.

"I realized that I haven't been a good husband to you lately, and I wanted to make up for all those times that I neglected you," Yugi said, stroking Isis's hair.

"But I thought that you are busy with Egypt affairs, especially during this war hour…"

"You don't have to worry," Yugi assured," I'm waiting for news from Seth. I'm sure that he's successful during this battle. But, right now, I want to spend some time with you."

Yugi got up and called out a servant. A young girl came in with something on her hand. Yugi took the box from the servants' hands and opened it. Isis gasped.

"It can't be!"

"Of course it is," Yugi took the gift out of the box and gave it to his wife," I wanted you to have this."

Isis took the gift reluctantly. After looking at it for a minute, she gave it back to her husband.

" I can't accept this. This millenium tauk is too powerful. I don't deserve it," Isis handed back the tauk to Yugi.

"What are you talking about?" Yugi laughed," No one is more deserving to have this tauk more than you do! Take it!" Yugi shoved the tauk back to Isis. Isis held it in her hand and sighed.

"Yugi," she began," I have something to tell you…"

However, before she could even finish her sentence, a young slave boy ran in.

"What's the meaning of this?" Yugi asked the boy," Can't you see that I'm busy?"

"My lord," the boy took a deep breath," major problem…"

It was obvious that this boy was tired. His breath was short. He was sweating all over the body.

"What is it? What can be so important that you'll dare to interrupt me?"

"My lord. It's about the battle. Our high priest, Seth, he was captured!"

Isis felt her heart broken into pieces. Panic covered her body.

"What are you talking about?" Isis asked in panic, " explain!"

Yugi took notice of his wife sudden frightful stage and commented, " Look like you're more impatient than I am" he tried to smile at her but she ignored it.

"Sir, during our battle, our commander was knocked out. We didn't know where he was, but it was rumored that he was captured by our enemy."

"What? How can it be? Seth's the best!" Yugi was enraged.

"Worse sir, after our commander fell, our army also fell. The enemy is advancing to Egypt right now. They'd already taken all of our out post and is advancing into the palace…"

Yugi began to call in all of the officials again. Isis sat by as the leaders discuss on what to do. Her mind was at Seth. Isis didn't seem to notice anything around her until Yugi spoke up.

"We have to evacuate the palace!" Yugi began," they're too near and we don't have any soldier to defend the palace. I suggest that we all leave this place and meet again in my private house up north."

All of the people bowed down to the pharaoh as they left the room. Yugi then turned his attention again to his wife.

"Look like we have to leave too, my wife," Yugi saw that his wife was not paying attention.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

Isis snapped out of her trance and looked at Yugi.

"I'm okay…but Seth…" she tried to not to cry in front of Yugi but can't.

"I know…" Yugi hugged her," I missed him too. He's my best friend, our best friend. But I'm sure that he'll return soon. However, now, we have to leave this palace if we want to see him again…"

Isis followed her husband out side the room and into the stable where the servants gave them a pair of horses. Everyone already left the palace. Yugi went with the royal. Isis at first followed him from behind. However, after she got out of Yugi's attention, she took off.

"Isis!" Yugi called after her. He tried to run after her but was stopped by his servant.

"Sir, I'm sure that the queen will be fine. I think that she left something at the palace and had to get back. But we must care about your welfare."

Yugi ignored their advice but he couldn't overpower the officials. After a while, he sighed as he watched her ran away from him.

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

Isis held her breath as she rode her horse against the wind.

" I have to save Seth!" she told herself, " Even if he's death, I'll still have to see him."

She felt bad about running away from Yugi so abruptly. However, she was sure that Yugi wouldn't run after her because he was too busy with the royal, discussing plans as they went into hiding.

"I'm sorry Yugi. I didn't want to hurt you. I tried to tell you but I was stopped. "

After a while, Isis checked on her location. If she wanted to see Seth, she had to travel up north. Isis knew the danger of walking into enemy's territory, but she didn't care. She knew how to defend herself. She can disguise as a commoner and sneak into the army. Although she knew that the plan was suicidal, Isis had no choice but to go along with it.

Taking a rest, she could see the army from far away. Isis got off from her horse and decided to take a rest. Suddenly, she noticed that she held something in her hand. She gasped as she saw what it was.

The millenium tauk.

"The gift from Yugi. One of the most powerful items in Egypt, with the power to see the future."

She decided to use its power.

"Oh well. I might was well see what's in store for me."

She closed her eyes as the power radiate around her. Isis opened her eyes again.

She was walking in a desert. She couldn't see anything but blood. Suddenly, she saw a shadow. It was Seth. She tried to run to him but no matter how hard she tried, Seth was slipping further and further away from her.

"Seth..." she ran

He turned around and faded into darkness.

"Do I know you?" he asked before disappearing completely.

Isis gasped as she opened her eyes again to reality.

"What's going on? Why did Seth acted like he doesn't know me?" she wondered about the future in her mind.

She knew that she's going into darkness.

"Whatever's going to happen next, I'll still have to face it."

Getting back on her horse, Isis galloped toward the unknown danger..

AN: next chp. Seto will face with decisions as Malik propose to him a deal.
