Chapter 3 Ancient Egypt
((FYI: Joey is the descendant of Apuy so they look alike. Also I must warn you that this may be a sad chapter, a character...er....well, maybe I shouldn't give it away. One more thing, I have no idea how I'm going to end this fic (it's already at least 9 chapters, hand written) If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks. Also if you don't know who Seti is supposed to be then you're hopeless. Tristan's past self doesn't show up in this fic...well not just yet...maybe. One more thing, in this chapter Yami is 17. Back then, some pharaohs married young. Sorry this chapter's so short, the next one is longer, I promise)) Chapter 3 Ancient Egypt "I kept warning you, Seti!!" I bellowed, my voice echoed off the empty room.
"Yes, my Pharaoh, I am awareof that!" He replied. "But I know of a way to use them for games." I glared at him as he continued. "I can use them to take control of Egypt and the pharaohship will belong to me."
"Belong to you?" I repeated. "I thought that you were in league with Marik." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I have tired of being your brother's puppet." he replied with a shrug. "What do you mean by a 'game'?" I asked.
"Just that, my Pharaoh. A game there they duel and the loser is sent to the Shadow Realms."
"It sounds dangerous; however, I will learn how to play this 'game'. I must learn it to save Egypt from you and Merik."
At that moment the door opened with a bang, and a small boy came running in. "Ab!" he called as he ran to me. I scooped him up in my arms. I saw Ryou standing not far from the door, soaking wet.
"Hello, mes!" I said. "Did you have fun with Ryou?"
"Yes, I did." he started laughing. "Ryou fell in the river!" He looked so much like Tahnah, who died in childbirth.
I glanced back to Ryou, who chuckled. "Only because you pushed me off the boat, Prince Manetho!" he called.
"Pharaoh?" Seti thrust a scroll into my hand. "Here are the rules." he said and he turned and left.
"What happened?" Manetho asked. He was very observant for a 4 year old.
"Nothing important." I said, glancing at Ryou who understood and winced. I left the room with Manetho.
"Ab? Do I have to go to bed?" he asked.
"Yes you do."
"But, I'm not tired." he said as his eyes drooped and yawned. "Oh, Ab..." he said as he put his head on my shoulder. "Did....you know ...that...*yawn*....Ryou is...." He had fallen asleep.
The next morning Manetho was missing. Around noon, I met up with Apuy, Marik and Seti . "Anything?" I asked, hopefully.
"Nothing, Yami, we've searched everywhere." Apuy said, shaking his head.
"Where's Ryou?" I asked noticing that he wasn't there.
"I don't know. I haven't seen him all day." Marik spoke up.
"Alright, keep looking." I sighed. "Where could he be?" I said quietly.
I headed up to Ryou's room. "Ryou?" I called as I tapped on his door. There was no response. I opened the door and walked in. "Ryou?" In the corner of the room was a pile of bloody cloths. Curiosity got the better of me. I walked over and knelt beside the rags and reached out to touch them. There was something hard and round underneath. I moved the rags aside and nearly got sick. There was Manetho, dead. He had been murdered.
"By Ra!" I whispered. I picked up my son's body and carried him to the Temple of Anubis and set him on the table. I turned and went to find Apuy to have him arrest Ryou. Ab=Father Mes=Son The temple of Anubis (if I'm not mistaken) is where mummification took place.
