Chapter V - Dark Sun Rising
The moment Exodia woke up he felt something touching his body, he shot up to look what was touching him but there was nothing around. He shook his head softly and stared at what lay next to him, for a second it scared him, untill he remembered he was the one that committed the crime.
Sighing he rose from the ground and thought for a moment, there was no possible way he could tell the priests he was the one that killed the Pharaoh. 'He tripped. fell.. I tried to save him.perfect', he thought as he ran up preparing to do some serious dramatizing acting. Once he reached the priests residence he fratically knocked the doors untill the highpriest opened it.
"Sir! Sir!", he started trying to develop some tears, "It's The pharaoh, my father I think he's dead!!". The priests reaction was just as it hoped to be, he immediately summoned his fellow priests and ran down the way Exodia showed them. Once the prince pointed at the dead body, silence fell over the men. The wound was an odd one indeed.
"He must've been murdered.", the highpriest spoke as he sat down next to the body of Ameniuy. Another inspected the wound aswell while Exodia tried to keep his cool and his act. "The pharaoh was murdered, his throat is slit! Who is responsible for this?!", the highpriest suddenly shouted to the 5 remaining men in the room, not even looking at the prince.
The boy walked forward and hid his face behind his shaking hands, "I don't know who did it, I only remember seeing a shadow.", he said faking the whimepring he did. The highpriest sighed and shook his head, "Looking at his body only makes it worse, Prince Exodia, please return to your room, there you'll be readied to speak to the people. You're the heir to the throne.".
------
Once Exodia stood in his room he watched as some priests ran into the city gathering all the people. Sighing he stared at his hands, widening his eyes at the fact he had blood on his hands from his father, and admiring his luck that the priests didn't see it. 'I'll become a pharaoh tonight. I'll be able to do whatever I want to do. I'll show him that I can rule a country, I'll show everyone in Luxor. even Yami's Luxor that Exodia is not one to toy around with! I'll SHOW THEM!", he shouted suddenly as he bold his fists and threw his head back while tears ran down his face.
It took a few hours for someone to walk into Exodia's room after the burial of Ameniuy, the prince chose not to be at the burial, acting like it was to much for him. Once a servant walked into the room and brought him the ceremonial clothing he looked away from the city. He had kept his eyes on his side of Luxor ever since. "Your clothing your highness.", the servant spoke softly as he put them down on the bed, "Sir with all do respect, I know what you did. I know it was you who killed Ameniuy.", the young boy spoke, he was even younger then Exodia, and the son of the servant's family that worked for the royal family.
The green eyes of the young price immediately widened and focussed at the boy, "How dare you accuse me of that! I would never!", he said as he walked towards the boy. The boy backed immediately, "I know. that you wanted to keep the cards. I know it all.", He stammered as he felt his life at stake when Exodia stood infront of him. "What's your name anyway.", the prince asked as he narrowed his eyes and grabbed the boy's collar. ".Z-Zuka sir.", he said as he reached for the arms of the older boy to try and get him off. "So Zuka, what do you believe to reach with knowing I killed my father? And do you have proof? Who do you think believe you anyway, you're a servant, an unimportant excistence. Besides, if I were you, I wouldn't speak a word, because tonight, when I'm the pharaoh I have the power to kick you and your lousy family OUT! And make sure your lives will be ruined forever!", Exodia said threatening as he threw him down and turned around.
"So this is our little secret, got that?", he added to it as he unfolded the beatifull robe and readied his attributes. Zuka nodded hastly and ran out of the room. Exodia shook his head lightly and undressed himself slowly, putting on the heavy robe and all the golden jewelry he could carry. "A big day for Luxor, the first pharaoh to have ever summoned a dragon.", he whispered as he stared at his 3 remaining Blue- Eyes White dragon cards.
------
The ceremony was in full glory, hundreds of people watched as the highpriest placed the holy crown of Ra on Exodia's black hair, crowing him to a Pharaoh. "Born in the light of Ra, for the people of West Luxor. His light will defeat Osiris that took his father's life. Rise young pharaoh, take your rightfull place on the throne of light and speak to your people.", the priest spoke as he helped the only 16 year old new pharaoh on the high pure gold throne and held his hands up to him.
Exodia was slightly surprised as he had seen a different crowning with yami. Eventhough he had hoped for his best friend's presence he didn't mind the praising at all. "People of West Luxor, hear me! I Exodia of Ameniuy have rosen onto the holy throne of light and will guide you all to a better life. I will make all the dreams of better hopes come true, I promise you all!", he said as he rose the scepters to the people. Cheering filled the palace and outside streets, the festivities had begun. The Dark Sun had Rosen above the lands of West Luxor.
Yami yawned and stared at the piece of papyrus in front of him, the studies he had followed had always bored him, but he knew he had to. Fukayna walked into the room slowly to greet her son, "Yami, there are great festivities in West Luxor, didn't you receive an invitation?", she asked softly. The pharaoh looked at his mother and shrugged, "I haven't received any messages of Exodia lately, nor Ameniuy.", he returned to her.
Fukayna shook her head, "I think something is wrong Yami, I've felt dark precences since yesterday, dark spirits realm above the palace of West Luxor.". Yami took a last look at the parchment on his desk and sighed, "You're not the only one mother, more then that. Do you remember the artifacts I was working on? They've been reacting to something. Even Heishin is scared of something.", Yami spoke softly as he shook his head and rose from the desk.
"Darkness spreads over the lands of Luxor, and I feel it's coming from someone I deeply care about.", he spoke softly as he heard his mother walk towards him softly. 'I'm afraid it's you Exodia. I have a strange feeling that something is about to happen soon. A Dark Sun Rose from the horizon, may Ra be mercifull on you. my friend.', he thought as he leaned out of the window and sighed. -------
