"Water..." the girl whispered, though she appears to be quite unconscious. Well, fine. She looks
like she is dying. I'll fetch her some water then. At least I won't regret anything about saving a
dying person. So Nala transformed into a white winged dragon. It does not have any scales on
it, but instead its skin is soft and rubbery, like a dolphin's. With this form, Nala was able to fly
back to the palace twice the speed as Ombis's form. Nala swiftly flew back to the palace and
took a chalice from her chamber. She filled the chalice with water and then she quickly flew to
the white haired girl again. When she arrived there, still in the form of the dragon she has
transform, the white hair girl was still asleep. Nala transformed into Ombis once she has put
down the chalice besides the sleeping girl. Using her paws, Nala awakened the white haired girl
and pointed the chalice with her paw. "What, who is there?" No replies were given. She looked
up and says Nala in the form of the white doglike creature, Ombis. Nala turned her head and
yelped. That girl's eyes were blue and she indeed looks very tired. "Huh? Water? Thank you so
much." Well, at least she is very polite. Maybe I should talk to her. "Thank you for the water,
but I am afraid that I cannot drink it. Though I really appreciate it that you took it from your
master." Said the weak girl. Just drink it already! It's not like I put poison in it or anything. What
is with this girl? I don't have all day waiting for you to drink the water. I still need that chalice!
Nala had lost her patience. So she transformed into her human form in front of the white haired
girl; though her human form is quite different from any other day tonight. The blue eyes white
haired girl looked very surprised and she took a step back. "Just drink the water. I haven't
poisoned it or anything. I just don't want you to die in the desert. It's not humane to do that. But
Greek or Roman you are, your color is not welcomed in that country across the border. I
suggest you go back before you get into any trouble." Said Nala harshly. "Thank you for the
water," said the white haired girl. She took a few gulps of water from the chalice. "Thank you.
You are very kind. May I ask your name?" she asked. "You don't need to know for you and I
are not in the same nation. Just remember that I am an Egyptian." Replied Nala. "But you said
the white skinned were not welcomed in Egypt, but why are you living there?" "It is none of your
business. Looks can be deceiving. Go back to where you came from." Nala turned to go. "I am
forever grateful for all you've done for me." "Hmp, don't thank me. Thank the gods of Egypt
who let me discover you. Oh yes, by the way, I put a spell on the chalice. It will return to me in
a week or so, until then, you can drink the water from in here. I cast a spell on it so the water
wouldn't go out." And she transformed into Ombis again and took off. Hmm, that girl may look
weak, but I since a great energy living inside her. Then again, I have already given my due of
hospitality, so I don't have to care anything else about that girl.
A month later..."Princess, the ceremony is going to start. Please come down quickly!" called one of Nala's
maids. "Okay, I'm coming." The festival of Ra has always been held annually and Nala is not
going to miss any of it. She missed it last year due to her unstable transformation, but thank
goodness that she is normal now. The festival is to be held outside the Temple of Ra with the
Pharaoh starting the ceremony. A few soldiers from the palace to the ceremony ground on a
chair carried her. The streets were crowded with people and Nala's soldiers barely squeezed
through the crowd in order to be on the ceremonial stage on time. "My people," said Nala's
brother. "The time has come again. This is the great festival of Ra. Egypt shall not work for
seven days and seven night to honor the creator of world. So, let the festival of Ra begin!"
Hearing that, the people cheered to the pharaoh and started to parade in the busy streets. Kids
were playing games together. Women from different huts gathered together to cook large meals
for several houses at once. The men gathered to drank alcohol and talk about rumors they have
heard. The Pharaoh, of course, went back to the palace, and was entertained by the musicians
and dancers. Great feast was hosted in the palace and all seven priests, Princess Nala, and
Shimon was invited to it. "To Ra, the father of creation." Said Nala as she proposes a toast. "To
Ra." Said everyone as they drank the alcohol mixture that resembles modern beer. Everyone in
the palace was very cheerful as he or she listened to the musicians and watched the dancers
dance in the evening. Then, out of nowhere, a dart was blown out and Mahaado reacted quickly
to block of the dart. He blocked the poison dart with his cape and ordered soldiers to bring the
person who shot it forward. It was a man who was ill mannered and foul mouthed. The soldiers
made him kneel down to the pharaoh and then man reluctantly did. "Who do you think you are,
you commoner!? You dare to try injuring the pharaoh?" Questioned Priest Seto. "Just how dim
do you think we are? And how many heads do you think you have? Who paid you to do this?
Tell us, and we may spare your life." Asked Nala. Her face glowed as red spots appeared on
her cheeks. Her cheeks were rather burning. "Heh, I'm the one behind all this. Believe it or not.
It's up to you." Said the man who attempted to injure the pharaoh. "Priest Shada, can you see
into this man's mind to see if he is indeed all evil and planned to injure the pharaoh?" asked
Priest Akunadin. "I will do my best." Priest Shada raised his golden key and pointed straight at
the prisoner. The key glowed and showed Shada a ferocious looking monster with eight legs.
"Hah, this person indeed has planed to hurt the pharaoh by using the poison dart. I could see in
his mind that his ka is evil." "Then what are we waiting for. Clear his heart of the dark ka that
resides within!" commanded Akunadin. Akunadin's golden eye glowed and it forced the ka of
the prisoner to come out. Indeed, the monster was ugly to look at. "All right then, rod, do your
thing!" commanded Priest Seto. The golden rod glowed as it forced the evil ka into the stone
tablet. It took several moments before the dark ka is finally absorbed into the tablet. "Now that
is over with, send this man to the prison, where he belongs." Ordered Priest Seto. "But Priest
Seto, do you not think that this is not necessary anymore?" Asked Priestess Isis. "Why is that?"
"For one thing, since the evil ka within that person's heart is now gone, this man should be free
of the shadows that clouded his thoughts." "But still, we need to put his under close watch
incase another evil ka turns him evil again." Said Akunadin. "Priestess Isis, Priest Akunadin does
have a point. I think we should not release this man until we are sure that the darkness in his
heart is gone." Said Mahaado. "Beg your pardon, my pharaoh, but what do you think we should
do with this man?" asked Nala. She was just used to referring her brother as the pharaoh. Nala
had always referred to Atem by "brother", but now he is the pharaoh, she had to refer him as the
"pharaoh" in the public. "I suppose we should keep him under close watch. But once we know
that this man is clear of darkness, we can release him immediately." Said Pharaoh Atem. "Take
him away." Ordered Mahaado.
A few moments later...
"Hah, I sense a great evil coming to the palace, my pharaoh." Said Priestess Isis as her goldennecklace glowed, showing her the vision of the future. "Pharaoh! Th-the ki-ing of Bandits, Bak-
ura is here!" shouted a soldier as he ran into the palace. He then collapsed on the floor. "King of
Bandits!? But I thought Bakura was exiled from the land of Egypt forever!" said Nala, she
looked rather shocked. "Hehehe, someone says my name?" said a man with white hair and
tanned skin. His eyes were purple and he wore a red cape and jewelries tangled all around his
body. His body was rather muscular. His abs were quite strong, as if he has been working out.
"Bakura. What are you doing here!?" demanded Priest Seto. "Hehehe, I come here to seek
revenge, prince! But I should call the pharaoh now, right?" chuckled Bakura. "I thought you
know better. Are you coming here to commit suicide, Bakura? Because you are no match for
the priests." Said Priest Akunadin. "Leave now Bakura, and we may spare you." Said Nala.
"Aww, the little princess. Well, well. I do have something to show you." Bakura whistled and his
white horse rushed in, carrying a coffin. "Hah! That is the coffin of my father!" Cried Nala.
"How dare you Bakura!" she barked, outraged to see that Bakura had taken his father's body
out of his resting place. "Bakura! You've gone too far this time!" shouted Atem. "It is time to
show you what we the priests are made of." Said Priest Seto. All of the priests put of a golden
manacle like duel disk. On the golden manacle, three wings were spread out. It was the ancient
duel disk. Both Nala and Atem put on their duel disk, but Shimon had forbidden them to do
anything. "But-but that's my father! You can't expect me to watch Bakura step on my father!"
cried Nala. "I know Princess Nala, but the priests can take care of this. And that is the same
with you Pharaoh. I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to fight." Shimon spoke. "I summon
Thunder Dragon. Bakura, heh, I doubt you'll stand a chance against the blow of this dragon."
Said Priest Seto proudly. "Oh, really? I also have a duel disk." Bakura put it on and summoned
a giant creature. It has a man's head with two horns on each side of its head ad has a body of a
serpent. Its whole body is sliver colored. That creature is Diabound, the god of darkness. "It is
Diabound!" said the shocked Shada. "That doesn't make any difference. I summon Magician of
Illusion." Said Mahaado. A monster that resembles the modern Dark Magician appeared." "And
I shall summon Spiriyota." Said Priestess Isis. A woman with blue hair and pink body appeared
on the field. A pair of wings was attached to her shoulder. "Summon Battle Ox!" cried Karim,
another Priest who rarely talks. "ATTACK!" commanded all priests who summoned their ka.
But Diabound slashed and destroyed all of the priests' ka's. The priests had fallen back after
suffering from the huge damage caused by the destruction of their ka's. "Hehehe, your weak
ka's are no match for my Diabound's." Taunted Bakura. He then put his foot on the former
Pharaoh's casket. "BAKURA, you have crossed over the lines this time. I shall teach you a
lesson today." Said Nala. "Princess! Don't!" cried Shimon. But it was too late. Nala has already
transformed into her favorite ka, the white doglike creature called Ombis. Even after she has
transformed the golden duel disk is still on her left arm, which is now her knee. Nala, taking the
form of Ombis ran swiftly towards Diabound and has managed to tackle it hard. "Heh, not bad
little princess." Bakura taunted again. "Diabound, show her your power!" he commanded.
"Hooooooh-"screamed Nala in pain in the form of Ombis. She hit on the wall and was in her
human form again. But Nala is a stubborn girl, so she hurriedly changed back to Ombis again
and activates its special ability. In the form of Ombis, Nala's eyes slowly turned from the pure
blue color that it once had into a bright, fierce red color. By doing that, Nala was able to create
ice to hold Diabound in its place. Finally, she made an ice sculpture of it. But Diabound was too
strong. It breaks free from the ice that holds it in its place and slammed Nala right into the wall
again. Nala screeched with pain as she transformed back into human, unconscious. Priest Seto
and Pharaoh Atem rushed to her side to check and see if she was okay. "Nala, can you hear
me?" asked Priest Seto as he shook her body. But she wouldn't' reply. "Nala! Wake up!" said
Atem as he gently shook her again. Nala slowly opened her weak eyes. She moved her lips but
nothing came out. Then, weakly, she said "I'm fine" and passed out again. Pharaoh Atem stood
up, enraged with anger. At this moment, he was having a vision when he faced his father's
casket. Pharaoh Atem heard his father telling him to believe in the justice of the gods and telling
him to trust in himself and his power. "Bakura, take your dirty foot off my father." "Oh yeah,
what if I don't?" "You will regret it. For now, I shall summon OBELISK, THE GIANT
SOLDIER OF EARTH! COME OUT MY MIGHTY BEAST!" commanded Atem. "Hah!
What is that!?" the priests cried out in awe as they see a giant blue god appearing in the palace.
"Now you shall feel the wrath of Obelisk. Go Obelisk! GOD HAND CRUSHER!"
commanded the pharaoh. The fierce god used its hands to hit Diabound right in the face.
Diabound flew back twenty feet, landing on its bottom. Then it disappeared from Bakura's duel
disk. "Heh, well well, looks like we will have to finish the business next time, Pharaoh!" said
Bakura. "Until then, keep the precious golden items near you, because I WILL claim them all.
Hahahaha!" laughed Bakura, though his laughter sounds rather like a madman's. He whistled for
his horse and then jumped on it and rode away. "After him!" cried Akunadin. "Yes sir!" replied
the soldiers as they rushed to catch Bakura. But Bakura was fast on his horse and soon he got
out of the palace.
Later, during the night, when Atem got the news that Bakura had outsmarted the soldiers.
Back at the palace, Pharaoh Atem stood on the balcony, glancing at the sky. Bakura had set
homes on fire as he went. But, his soldiers were able to put a stop on the fire that Bakura had
set. He sighed and asked himself why did Bakura have a deep hatred towards him? He did
nothing to him. "Brother, is something troubling you?" asked a gentle yet sweet voice. "Nala!
You should be in bed resting! You took a direct hit by Bakura's Diabound." Said Atem. "Well,
do not worry brother, I am, as you can see, all right now. I did not suffer that much damage,
because after all, I am a morpher, and morphers recover quickly." Smiled Nala. She looked
rather tired after the fight with Bakura; her face is still very pale. "Beg your pardon, my
pharaoh." Said a man. It was the Priest Mahaado. He was the greatest spellcaster known
throughout Egypt. Not another magician matched the magic that Mahaado had mastered.
"Mahaado? What is it?" asked Atem. "I must ask for your permission. I want to use myself as a
bait to lure Bakura into the sacred temple." Answered Mahaado. "But Mahaado, Bakura is very
dangerous, only a god can stand to his Diabound!" said Nala. "I am well aware of the
consenquences, but I must fulfill my promise to the former Pharaoh. I promised him that I would
always protect the pharaoh." "But..." argued Nala. "Pharaoh, please grant my wish. It is my
duty to protect you and I must defeat Bakura." "Mahaado, I understand your good intensions,
but Diabound is still too strong. I cannot let you risk your life." Replied Pharaoh Atem. "Do not
worry Pharaoh, I will defeat Bakura once I release the magic I have sealed within the golden
ring. Remember, I have sealed away all of my magic within this evil ring. Once I unleash all the
magic sealed within the ring to their full extend, Bakura will be no match for me." "Alright then,
you may have your wish granted. But promise me that you will be careful." "I promise,
Pharaoh." Replied Mahaado. "Heeeyah!" said one girl as she jumped down to hug Pharaoh
Atem. She has a pair of purple eyes and dark brown hair. Her skin is also tanned, just like every
other Egyptian. The girl wore a yellow band around her head, and the white cloth was hanging
from the band. She is only about 3 years younger than both Atem and Nala, but she is very
hyper most of the time. "Hello Mana." Said Pharaoh Atem. "Hiya!" smiled Mana as she gave
Atem another big hug. "Mana, what are you doing here?" asked Mahaado as he lifted her away
from Atem and put her down on the ground. "You know you should be studying the magic
spells rather than playing around in the palace." Said Mahaado. "Teacher Mahaado. I did study
a new spell today. See, I cast it on the soldiers!" said Mana happily. "What!? Mana! You are
not supposed to test your spells on the soldiers! Do a reverse spell quickly!" commanded
Mahaado. "Sure, no problem. I got the spell book right here." Said Nala. She summoned her
spell book out of nowhere. "Now, for the freezing removal spell, er-where is it!? Oh no, come
on, come on, where is it!?" Mana was getting furious trying to find the removal spell from her
book. "I will do it." Winked Princess Nala. She said a few words and the spell was lifted from
the soldiers. "Whew, thank you soooo much Princess!" Mana thanked Nala. "Well, you haven't
given me a hug yet. I suppose you could thank me by at least not making me feeling left out?"
kidded Nala. "Sorry! Of course I wouldn't leave you out princess-chan, and here is one big hug
for you Princess Nala!" said Mana happily as she gave Nala one big hug. The hug almost
suffocated the princess though. "Mana, I can't breathe!" "Sorry! I didn't mean to strangle you."
Apologized Mana. "Well, anyways, I see that Mana and I have no business here, so we will go
to my chamber and talk. Good night Pharaoh, good night Mahaado." Waved Nala as she and
Mana left the balcony. "Good night my pharaoh, I have your permission already. I shall meet
you in the morning." Said Mahaado. "Mahaado wait!" called Pharaoh Atem. "Yes my
pharaoh?" "There is something I must ask you. Why does Bakura hate me so much." "I..."
"Please Mahaado, tell me the truth." "It is too horrible to speak out." Said Mahaado as he
kneeled down on one knee before the pharaoh. "Mahaado, I need to know. And I can handle
it." Said Atem. "I do not have the answer, but I have a theory. It has to do with the golden items
you and we the priests wear. They were made with sacrifices, and Bakura might have seen how
horrible it is. So he might think that the items are made of pure evil." Paused Mahaado. Pharaoh
Atem pause, he did not say anything for a moment. "Mahaado, I know that is not all of it. What
were the sacrifices?" "It...it was the lives of ninety nine villagers..." "But my father would never
do that!" argued back Atem. " It is true that he did not know that until the items were already
created...Your father, the former pharaoh was also devastated when he found out how the items
were created...He could not forgave himself...But he didn't know how the items were supposed
to be created and he need to protect the kingdom..." said Mahaado quietly. "Mahaado...You
may go now...I shall see you in the morning." Replied Atem. His face was rather pale after
hearing the fact that ninety-nine lives were sacrificed to create the golden items. It is really worth
it? Atem asked himself. Is it really worth it to have people die over some magical items? Wasn't
it any other way to protect the country? He asked himself again. Sigh, I suppose my father did
what is best for his country...He glanced upon the stars, father...Is it really worth it?
Tada... The second chappie. Write me a review... Hope you enjoyed the story and the pic!
