Flower of the Nile- Rena was a tomboy in the beginning, but now she's becoming to dependant on Atem… don't worry, she'll do a little bit of fighting in the sequel
Kirara- That was the point of the chapter; to reveal stuff about the past and hand out clues to the future. And I think I need just one more chapter to wrap up the story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four years have passed since Rena became a Sacred Servant. Nothing much has changed except for the fact that she was well respected throughout the palace. Her job remained the same; she continued her services to the prince. Rena also finally mastered white magic and black magic, and at the same time she developed a fine technique in swordplay. Once in a while, the priests would test her mastery of summoning in a duel.
Atemu's physical appearance changed dramatically; his voice became deeper, his eyes were more serious, and most of his features were more angular. He was a very serious person, but as serious as he could get, he still had the same feelings he always had for Rena and his friends. He mastered swordplay and summoning just as Rena did. Deep in his heart, Atem felt that his time was drawing near, and soon he will be wedded to Rena. His deepest desires were coming true, but desire sometimes comes with a price. As the days flew by, as he grew stronger, his father grew weaker. Now, Akunumkanon's days were numbered, his rule was coming to an end.
Rena was in the courtyard with the prince, watching him practice swordplay; Mana and Mahado were nearby practicing magic. Atemu was fighting against Seto, who is now a fully- fledged priest of the temple. It seemed like an even match to Rena, both were exhausted, but neither gave in.
"Seto! I've got to hand it to you, you've gotten better!" said Atemu in a cool, deep voice.
"You've gotten better too prince." Replied Seto, "But now it all ends!!"
Atemu laughed and said, "Hah! Indeed it ends now!"
They both lunged at each other, both preparing to hit the other. Atemu and Seto delivered the blows to each other, but both collapsed before anyone could deliver it. It was a stalemate. Atemu and Seto were lying on the ground panting from exhaustion. Rena sighed and ran to both of them. She cast a healing spell on them.
"You know…" said Rena, "The two of you been at it ever since sunrise…"
"Well, think of it as training!" said Seto, "I'm trying to toughen up the prince before he becomes pharaoh!"
"Heh…" said Atemu, "Well… that was quite the exercise… Seto, what do you say to a duel?"
"Atem…" said Rena, "You are in no condition to duel…"
Mana and Mahado entered the courtyard, finding two young, exhausted guys lying in the middle. Mana ran to Rena and glomped her, then she glomped Atem and Seto. Mahado sighed as Mana ran wild on her break. Mahado looked at the two exhausted young men and smiled. [Mana is the queen of glomping friends.]
"Well, what do we have here?" asked Mahado, "A prince and a priest exhausted from an epic battle?"
"Who won? Who won?" asked Mana.
Rena laughed as the both of them kept lying on the ground, staring at the sky. They were both full of sweat, and their faces were as red as the burning sun. Rena stood by Atemu's side, wiping the sweat off his face with a wet cloth. Mana cheerfully wiped the sweat off of Seto's face; she was whistling a tune while she did it. After, the two young warriors recovered from the long battle, they all went their separate ways, Seto went back to the temple, Mana and Mahado continued training, and Atem and Rena spent quality time together. The two soon to be wedded were walking around in the palace, arm in arm. At the end of the day, Atemu wanted to show Rena something. He brought her to the balcony, which oversees the entire city.
"Rena…" said Atemu as he pulled a long piece of rope, "Get on my back."
"Are…are you sure??" asked Rena.
"I want to show you something…" said Atem, "Come on… get on my back."
Atemu knelt down so that Rena could climb on his back. Rena did so, she was worried that she may be a little too heavy for him, but Atem seemed to not worry about his fiancée's weight. To Atem, Rena was pretty light for a seventeen-year-old girl, after she got on his back; he tied the rope around his waist so that Rena will remain attached to him. After he secured the rope, he climbed on top the stone railings, and began to scale the walls. Rena held onto him tightly; she has a thing for heights.
"Atem… are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Rena, "I mean climbing up the palace walls with me tied onto your back…"
"Don't worry…" said Atem confidently, "I know the stone walls of my palace…don't you worry a bit Rena…"
He continued to scale the wall, putting his foot on any foothold he could find, and finding the easiest way to get to the roof. The sky suddenly turned a crimson rose color. Atem looked towards the sky and hurried up towards the roof. When they finally reached the roof, Atemu released Rena from the roof, and he finally got to show Rena what he wanted her to see, a red sun setting into the Nile. It was unlike the other sunsets they have seen for the past few years. This sun was a very deep crimson, like the crimson color within Atemu's eyes. Atemu took a few breaths because of the climb and carrying Rena on his back. Then he placed his arms around Rena's body, he started kissing her neck and her face. Rena was enticed by his touch, so she started kissing him violently. They were kissing on the Egyptian sunset, like the guilty lovers they were.
"Atem…." Said Rena. She sighed deeply as he continued to kiss her around the neck. She felt a strange, tingling feeling going through her body, first in began in her spine, and then spread throughout her body. It was as if Atemu's kisses were pure ecstasy. As for Atem, he could taste the flesh and warmth of Rena's body. Her head now lay on his chest, relaxed and peaceful.
"It will be soon Rena…" promised Atem as he held her head onto his body, "I promise you….it will be soon…"
After the sun had set and all became shrouded in twilight, Rena cast a levitation spell so that she and her prince could reach the ground safely. Atemu escorted her to the Servant's Sanctuary, where they said good night to each other and ended the day. As Atemu walked back up to his chamber, he found a exhausted Mahado running around the palace with a message for him from the pharaoh.
"Prince!!" called out Mahado, "You must come with me quick!!"
Atem walked towards Mahado and placed his hand on Mahado's forehead to check his temperature, "Mahado, what is it?"
"Pharaoh wants to see you." Replied Mahado. He took deep breaths to calm himself down, "Pharaoh Akunumkanon, he says he doesn't have much time left…"
Atemu gasped and didn't realize how much time his had left. "Mahado, please take me to him."
Mahado nodded and escorted Atemu to the Pharaoh's chamber. They were both running, knowing how little time they had.
