Chap 14

It was a starless night in Ancient Egypt, where many normal life had been lived. It was a quiet city, and nothing more. A noble lord watched over the citizens, keeping the peace, yet, all wasn't as peaceful as it seemed.

"My lord, your acquaintance is here." A lesser man stepped in front of the ancient thrown, bowing to his lord.

Nodding his head, the lord sat back in his throne, a gentle smile across his gallant face. "Ahhh, Koroshiya. Good to see you, my friend."

"Greetings, my pharaoh." The boy bowed to him, but the pharaoh snickered.

"I told you, Koroshiya, call me Yami. There is no need to act proper around me. You're my most trusted friend."

Or, so you think, Yami...Koroshiya only smiled. "You are most gracious, my lord."

"Nonsense!" Yami rose, the golden earrings gently dangling from his ears. He wore the most diligent of clothes. Sleeveless, white shirt, made from the finest of fibers with a flowing lavender cape behind him. Cuffs of pure gold wrapped around both slender wrists and upper arms. Around his neck, an item, but not just any ordinary item. A Millennium Item, known as the Millennium Puzzle. He cherished the puzzle, that he did. It never left the ruler's neck. As far as the people knew, the Millennium had 'chosen' their lord, and that's the way things were. Nothing more then that.

Koroshiya saw this in an extremely different light, a dark light. His master, Kirai, had filled his head with misguided thoughts of hatred and malice. Whispers of betrayal had entered Koro's ears and traveled into his brain, now tainted with Kirai's words.

"The pharaoh must be stopped..." Like gentle evening winds, Kirai's words made Koro's eyes glisten with new found hope.

"Yes, master, he must be stopped." Maniacal laughter filled the cluttered brain of Koro as he returned to the present.

"Koroshiya?" Yami put his stern hand on Koro's shoulder, and he only grinned.

"Yes, my lord?"

"What are you armed with a dagger this evening?" The perplexed pharaoh looked to Koro's belt, in which he had a sheath. Koroshiya had never carried around a dagger. Why would he now? Yami could only ponder what possible reason Koro could have for possessing a weapon of that caliber in a city so small and harmless.

"Oh, this? Tis nothing, my lord." Drawing the dagger quickly, Koroshiya struck the pharaoh in his valiant heart, murdering him in cold blood in the palace. "Tis only the weapon of your demise."

Many a guard rushed to the bleeding pharaoh's side, aiding him the best that could, but to no avail. The pharaoh died that night, the dagger soaked in the royal blood.

"Why, Koroshiya?" Sobbing subjects of the pharaoh shrieked as Koro walked to long dirt road to where his fate would be decided, a stone tablet. Etched deep in its structure, lay a law.

"Thy Pharaoh, who hast given us thy strength and power, thou shalt not have his blood spread on thy innocent roadways of Egypt. Thou who does spill the gallant blood of thy ruler shalt be killed at once."

Koro's head was slammed against the stone tablet, a smirk on his face. A stone, weighing near ten pounds was set beside him, soon to be picked up by a guard who arms were as thick as the stone pillars which supported the palace where the pharaoh had once resided.

"Any last words, traitor?" The stern faced guard raised the boulder like rock high above his head.

"Nothing more then, I will be back....." The rock came down in front of Koro's hazel eyes and with a thunderous blow, it was all over.

He woke up with a bolt of energy, sweat dripping down the sides of his face. He looked at the clock, whose blinking, red numbers read 2:14AM.

"What the hell did I eat today? Geez..." He rubbed his head, noticing an odd discoloring on his fingers. Red, like the flashing clock numbers.

"What the.....?" He brought his hand to his nose, smelling the odd stain. "Blood?"
"Tis nothing!" A voice in his head hissed, "Sleep now."

"Yeah, I guess it is nothin'." Resting his head back on the pillow, he dozed off.

"What a fool, is that Joey Wheeler. So clueless to who is inside of his feeble mind as he sleeps...Koroshiya will get his revenge. I will kill the pharaoh once again!"
