Chapter 3
Gen-chan
The sun slowly rose over the fertile lands of Lower Egypt waking all those who worked in the fields. With sleepy yawns and sluggish movements the peasants went to work with their hand-made tools doing their best to store up enough foods for the winter. Soon the Nile would flood once again and not only must they provide vast amounts of food for their Pharaoh but they must feed themselves as well. The sounds of sleepy men and their hard labor were lost upon the winds of the early morning.
Farther up the river bank the palace of the Pharaoh stood strong and proud. Its alabaster walls and columns shone brightly in the early morning light as the shadows were once again forced into submission before Ra's radiance. Inside the palace the slaves of the royal family were busy cleaning the long hallways and floors, never missing a single spot. From the kitchen the mouthwatering smells of breakfast wafted throughout the corridors swiftly making their ways into the bedchambers of the Pharaoh himself.
Slowly with a sleep filled moan the single occupant of the bed in the middle of the pharaohs chambers shifted. (A/N: Hmmm wonder who that is ^.^) A spiky head of multicolored hair rose out of the silk (again) covers only to loose his will once the sunlight hit his face. Muttering to himself about the need for curtains the teenaged Pharaoh rolled over onto his side to get away from the blinding light…
Only to meet blinding purple eyes.
"Yahhhh!"
"eep!"
With a thump both boys were thrown back and away from each other landing not so gracefully on the floor. With a small groan of annoyance, the Pharaoh stood up with the help of his bed and placed a hand on his behind with a sigh.
"Yuugi, how many times have I told you not to sneak in here when in sleeping?" The taller of the two asked.
Yuugi quickly scrambled off of the floor and hopped onto his brother's bed with more than enough energy for the two of them. Bouncing slightly enjoying the sunrise outside the (curtain-less) windows to his right the small boy said nothing in return, only smiled apologetically.
With a sigh Yami quickly began to get dressed in his usual morning robes. The cool silk felt like water over his warm skin and gave him the feeling of being wrapped in the waters of the Nile right outside his window.
"Alright Yuugi, what is it you wished to tell me?"
Yuugi blinked slightly amazed at his brothers 'mind reading powers' as he liked to call them. With a soft cough Yuugi produced a slip of paper from underneath his robes.
"This came in last night for you Big Brother. I offered to bring it to you this morning. I don't know what it is." He confessed.
"Who is it from?" Yami asked uninterested from over his shoulder as he dug through his ornate jewelry box looking for something.
"Ummm, the High Priest Seth of the Upper lands…I think."
With a start Yami quickly forgot his previous engagement and hurried over to his bedside snatching the letter out of his little brother's hands. Turning it over a few times he studied the fact that the seal seemed to be done twice. Either the High Priest was careless in forming it or someone else had already laid eyes upon this before him. With an impatient shrug he quickly tore open the seal and swiftly scanned the contents, his face immediately forming a frown.
"What is it Big Brother? What does it say?" Yuugi asked while trying to get a good look of the words written on the papyrus.
"It would seem I have been invited to celebrate the crowning of the Pharaoh of the Upper Lands. Interesting."
"Interesting? Why is that?"
"It is just that the Upper and Lower lands have not been allied in a long time, I do not see the reason why Pharaoh Bakura would invite me to this."
Yuugi blinked in confusion not quite understanding the problem. "Your still going to go though, right? I mean it would be really rude to say no right?"
"Yes, yes of course I shall be going. Yuugi, will you please go inform the council of this? They shall know what to do."
"Sure. Can I come?"
"No Little Brother. Not this time I am sorry." With that Yami turned away, his eyes still on the parchment before him.
With a pout Yuugi quickly scampered out of the room to perform his given task.
