Secrets in Thebes- A Time Away From Time

Khalid-Bakura Muse: CHNY does not own any form of Yugioh.

YoukoYamato- Don't worry! They are just in the Sennen Items...

Atemu felt himself float in an endless sky, thinking nothing, and not realizing he wasn't breathing. A familiar presence floated besides him, much like Mahado. Then he hit something hard, and landed in the midst of a labyrinth. He glanced around, and realized he was in his soul room. He had only visited the place once, when Shada had weighed his soul. But it was different now. And someone was standing next to him. He didn't recognize the man next to him, but he seemed familiar. He struggled to sit up, and the man turned to regard him curiously. Atemu gasped as he recognized his teacher, Mahado.

"Mahado! Why are you here? Where are we-"

The man smiled and shook his head.

"I may have been your Mahado once, but now I am the Black Magician. And I shall protect you from yourself, future Pharaoh," the man intoned. Atemu shrugged, not caring in this expansive tomb. He was just glad he had company.

Khalid hit a stone floor. He immediately leapt up, expecting a fight. But no, no one was there. He did not recognize where he was, but he knew he did not want to be here. He was supposed to be doing something...

Something...

Oh yes! He had been fighting Atemu and his friends. Now he was in this lonesome place. It was adorned with weapons, and hieroglyphs littered the walls. He felt that he had been here before, but he couldn't remember.

Memories...

And he fainted.

Khiseki awoke with a jolt in his own body. His father was standing over him. He couldn't figure out what awoke him, but he was awake all the same. He struggled to sit up, and his father hastened to help him. Then Khiseki realized something was different about his father. There was less... power about him.

Then Khiseki croaked, "Father, the Puzzle. What has happened to the puzzle?"

"It shattered. Shattered," his father, the Pharaoh said, his eyes crinkling up in sadness, or was it joy? Khiseki shrugged, glancing at the others as they woke up as well. But he noticed four people missing. Atemu, Khalid-Bakura, Mana, and Mahado were all missing.

"Father, is brother already awake? I didn't see him leave the Shadow Realm though, if that was where we were."

"No, son. I don't think he will return ever. His and the other's bodies burst into black flames and they left no trace, except, of course, the Ring."

"Atemu and Bakura paid for the trouble they caused with their lives. And something more. Atemu lost his memories. Or he will. Or something. This does not make sense! Why Atemu, or let me rephrase that, why not one of us?" Makyra said, as if puzzling something out inside herself.

"The youngling has figured it out, Pharaoh. Have you not?" Isis said, "You have paid for making the cursed Items, with your son's life and the remains of Kuru Eruna. The soul, as the boy puts it."

"Ah..."

"Khalid is gone? No! It is not so! Oh Ra, no!" Burkyna said hysterically.

"I am sorry, girl-child. Khalid-Bakura is gone. Forever," Seto said.

Soon the children were transferred to the infirmary. They had no real wounds, but they were all so shaken, they were put into a drug induced sleep.

The Pharaoh had the Sennen Puzzle put in a box, to be put away with the other Sennen Items. Since the key Item was broken, the others had less strength, so they were going to bury the lot of them.

Akunadin, the Sennen Eye holder was wary. After all, his was implanted with in his skull. But they decided that it would be placed in the tomb after he died.

And so the temple of the Sennen Items was sealed. But not forever, because nothing lasts forever, especially in the times when the Pharaohs were dug up and taken apart...

CHNY: There you go. Oh yeah! I'm holding a poll to see who thinks the name should be changed. Because I've done Egypt in History now, so I realized that when ever this story took place, Alexandria didn't exist. So here is the poll.

Change name to Secrets in Thebes 1

Change name to Secrets in Memphis 0

Keep name Secrets in Alexandria 1

I guess this poll is kinda worthless... Oh well..

Bai!
