Seto found his way to the new slaves room. By the time he had gotten there, Yugi had already been taken by Yami. Seto filled with anger and whirled around.

"High Priest?"

Seto turned to the other slave, startled. "Yes? What?"

"What bothers you?"

Seto rolled his eyes at the slave. "Why do you speak like that? You'd think you thought you were royalty."

"I was a merchant's son," he answered. "But...my father sold Yugi and I."

Seto's eye lit up, interested. "You were a merchant? That means you can read, am I correct?"

"Very little. But I am good at calculations."

Seto studied the boy. He was close to his height, but much thinner. His longer dark blond hair covered most of his face and his deep brown eyes refused to look at him, showing proper respect. "Come," he said, motioning for Katsuya to follow him.

He led him to his bed chambers. Walking over to a shelf, he picked up several scrolls, bringing them to a table. "Sit," he said, motioning him to a chair. Opening a script, he placed it in front of Katsuya. "Read this, I want to see how much you know."

Katsuya began to read unsteadily and unsurely. Seto stood, looking out the window, correcting him where he was wrong. Seto smiled approvingly at Katsuya and walked behind him, watching him. He placed his hands on his shoulders. "Very good," he whispered, leaning into Katsuya's ear. "Keep reading."

"I-I walk on for legs in the morning, two midday, and three at dusk. What am I?"

"Answer that," Seto asked, amused at what he would say.

Katsuya was quiet for several minutes, mentally debating several answers. Final he spoke unsurely, "R-Ra..."

Seto blinked, surprised. "Excuse me?"

"Ra. In the morning he is...is born and walks on all fours. During the highest hour of the sun, he walks on two legs, having become a man. At dusk, he begins to grow old and is with cripple so walks with aid of a staff." He looked up briefly at Seto.

Seto couldn't think of anything to answer with. Finally he grabbed Katsuya and led him to Yami's room. He knocked impatiently at Yami's door. "Yami, answer!"

Yami finally opened the door a crack and peeked out. "This better be important."

"He has solved the Sphinx's riddle."

Yami opened the door even more, eyes wide. "You will train him," he said simply. "You will train him as a priest."

Katsuya blinked, unsure of what was going on. "I...what?"

Yami placed a hand on Katsuya's shoulder. "Never repeat what you said. Knowledge like that can lead to great power and terrible destruction. You will be trained to become a priest like Seto, by Seto."

"I'm no longer a slave?"

Yami shook his head. "No, you are not. I will need you from time to time to translate for Yugi, though. You have a lot of work to do." He looked at Seto. "Train him well."

Seto bowed his head and murmured, "Yes, pharaoh."

~~~ Note: Okay, I know the answer is man, but while learning Egyptian mythology in World History, the teacher asked that question and I answered with "Their god Ra," who was believed to be born each morning, dying at night. Of course I was laughed at, but when I think about, something tells me that this is more close to what they meant. Anyway, it works with the plot of the story, so bear with me. ~~~
