The Night Before
Part V: Rivalry
A Mummies Alive! Fanfic
Arahk paced the confines of Scarab's chambers, a scowl set on his face. The next day was when Scarab was to make his move against Amenutept, starting with removing Rapses. And he, along with Scarab's magic-created troops, would take care of Rapses Guardians. The leader of which was his brother Ja-kal. Finally, vengeance would be his.
"Will you quit pacing?"
Arahk turned to the golden snake that was curled in the corner of the room. "Tomorrow is the fianl showdown." He stated.
"If you believe that, you're a bigger fool than I took you for." Heca commented. "Tomorrow is just the beginning. There's still Amenutept to be dealt with. Conquering a kingdom takes time."
"That is Scarab's concern. My victory comes tomorrow." Arahk replied.
Heca rolled her eyes. "Sibling rivalry."
"Don't scoff at me." He glowered at her.
Heca uncurled herself, giving him a scathing glance. "I realy don't see why Scarab included you in his plans to begin with. Though I suppose annoying help is better than no help at all." She slithered over to Scarab's bookshelf, giving up on her attempt to relax.
Arahk clenched his hands. "And what tomb did he dig you up from?"
"His old tutor's." Heca stated matter-of-factly. "I'm rather grateful, actually. It had gotten rather dull."
"His tutor?"
"In magic." Heca pulled down a book and began flipping through it. "Everyone has to start somewhere. Even Scarab."
He paused, curiousity getting the better of him. "And di you know him as a pupil?"
"I've known many people as pupils. I knew Scarab's tutor when he was a pupil." She confessed. "But his line ended with him, so I was placed in his tomb. Scarab retrieved me a couple months later to add me to his collection."
"So...why didn't this old master of yours give you to Scarab?"
Heca sighed, closing the book. Arahk looked to be an aggravating companion tonight. She hoped Scarab returned soon. "They didn't get along."
"Scarab and his tutor?"
"Yes. That's who we were discussing last time I checked."
"So, why didn't he give you to another pupil?"
"I suppose he never figured out who to pass me to. His favorite pupil becamea teacher himself."
He frowned, glancing over at Heca. "Who was this favorite pupil?"
Heca tilted her head, giving the effect that she was shrugging. "A student that trained with Scarab."
"A rival?" Arahk's eyes flashed in interest. "What happened to him?"
"He's alive and still teaching."
"Scarab never killed him?"
Heca resisted the urge to roll her eyes again. He sounded disappointed. "not yet."
"Was he as powerful as Scarab?"
"No...very few are as powerful as Scarab. But perhaps if he'd spent more time training and less time teaching he could have been close."
"But he never killed him." He pressed for an answer.
Heca paused, glancing back. She could sense that somewhere in the palace a magic battle was happening. "He will" She predicted. Arahk turned away, and began pacing again. Heca put up her book, and returned to her corner. She'd never undertand the human obsession with rivalries, no matter how long she'd spent with them. It seemed a waste of time and energy.
"The dawn cannot come soon enough." Arahk stated into the silence.
Heca silently agreed with him.

So I realized that I hadn't given Heca a piece a little while after I finished the other four parts and I felt really bad about it.
Salmon's Id: So bad that you didn't write her piece for almost a year.
*Eep* Well, for a long time I didn't know who to pair her with or what to have them talk about. Then I thought of Arahk, and got inspired. Yah, Me!
Salmon's Id: You might want to correct the grammar mistakes in the other four parts while you're at it.
*Arrgh!* It was only two parts with spelling mistakes! So, this is the last piece of the fic. Hope everyone likes it. I have a new Mummies Alive fic in the works. Hopefully I'll get it done soon!
Salmon's Id: Next year?
*hangs head* Ouch...
