For 2 months Seto and Merrick met well into the night sifting through piles of information with nothing to show for it. On a cold evening in December Merrick sat in a tavern after dark drinking away his sorrows.

' My rod foretold me finding away to bring down my sister and the pharaoh. What is wrong?' he kept thinking over and over.

That same night a crew from a Spanish fleet had harbored in Egypt's port. The crew of men was tired and decided to get a few beers. They entered and spread out. One of the soldiers happened to be sitting next to Merrick. He apparently was a young sailor who could not hold his liquor, and love to blab to impress people (especially women) once he was drunk.

Merrick was irritated at the guy's arrogance until the sailor had about 6 alcoholic drinks, "SO anyways… ladies, the Spanish fleet has caught everyone who has ever been on its wanted list. Well except for one. A young girl got away from us a little over a year and a half ago. We hung her father though. Old man owed Spain millions of dollars. He was once a world traveler, he was from Egypt ya know. Then his business went down." The sailor said with a chuckle as he turned his thumbs to the ground to emphasize the word "down".

"Say, what's your name kid?" Merrick asked.

"I'm Enrique," the sailor replied.

"Hey Enrique, I'm Merrick. Let me buy you a drink

Abnore' went on one of her usual evening stroll with Yami along side of her walking in content of just being near one another. The country had begun to adore her as they did the pharaoh. The people loved how she always stood up with Yami. They loved how much she cared for and loved children. She was the perfect match for the pharaoh.

The couple was on their way home they stopped on a bridge overlooking a quiet river. Abnore' had been debating over how to tell her husband what she was about to say.

"I want part of both of us into this necklace so that if one of us were to die before the other, part of us will still be here. And by the ancient scriptures, if the artifact with part of your spirit in it, your reincarnation self will be destined to find it. I want my future self to have the first gift you ever gave me, my necklace." Abnore' said.

They held on to the necklace and said together, "Porgue nevda da cinque hobo." and the light shone as part of each was transferred into the necklace.

The morning, at sunrise, Seto followed behind Merrick to the Harbor. Merrick was at Seto's house, before even Seto had wakened.

"What is this about? I'm losing patience for you. You said you knew how to break Yami and Abnore' up. It has been 2 months and we haven't found a thing." Seto complained.

"Until last night when you refused to come with me to have a drink. Follow me." The Spanish Fleet ship had just come into view, and Seto's eyes widen with surprise.

"What is this?" Seto asked worriedly.

Before he could answer a the captain of the ship spotted the two, "Merrick, a little late don't you think?" The captain complained.

" I had to pick up my associate." Merrick apologized.

"Lets head to my cabin then." The captain led the men to a large room at the top of the ship. After getting properly acquainted they got down to business.

The story of the young girl who got away from the government was told again.

"What was the girl's name?" Merrick asked.

"Abnore' Ashido, here's a sketch of her." Enrique handed the sketch over to Seto.

Seto's eyes widen with disbelieve. How could this be the same girl?

"The Spanish government is offering a pretty penny for the capture of the girl." Enrique added.

"I think we can help each other out. We know this woman very well. She is not only my sister, but she is the Pharaoh Yami's beloved wife." Merrick stated.
