Chapter one
The new arrangement.
Enjoy…….. **^_^**
"I can't believe this big-headed Pharaoh made me come out here in the middle of a freaking sand storm, he's gonna get a slap when I see him!!!" Kwennoir grumbled low in her throat, she adjusted her hood, to make sure that she could still see. The tiny granolas whipped at her body, like tiny speaks of glass. Her hand reached her face as she felt her skin begin to dry out. She groaned and thought of her home.
'Right now, I'd be in my favourite tavern. Drinking sweet wine and sitting by a fire. The sand storms brought a great amount of chilliness to my city. It's no bloody better out here!" She sniffed to hold back the tears, she stared down at her sandy steed.
"At least I've got you, aye Rouge." She patted her stunning horse and continued to ride toward Egypt.
The night came swiftly, however she could not stop to rest, the Pharaoh had ordered her to arrive early the following morning, however she didn't have a lot more ground to cover. By this time the sand storm has stopped and she removed her hood, to reveal her long, luscious, silky brown hair. Her green eye's reflected in the bright moon light, they glinted with the visions of a thousand, horrible deaths. Most of them, caused by her own hand.
She smirked at the image of Egypt that laid just beyond the, not too remote distance. She sighed and turned to face the opposite direction, the direction of her home town. She sighed again, at the thought of her unprotected city, without her - she feared for the peoples safety.
She reached down to her pouch and brought out a canasta of water, unscrewing it, she took a sip. Pulling at the rains, Rouge halted and she jumped off. Moving round , toward her horses front she held up her canasta and Rouge took a large swig of his master's water.
He made a few slight grunting noises and shook his head. Kwennoir giggled and brought their heads together.
"You're my only love Rouge." He seemed to understand her statement and nudged her head. She laughed again and climb back on her saddle with ease.
"Come one baby, not far to go, heya!!" Rouge took his command and he sped ahead, leaving a large trial of clouded dust.
Rouges strides soon turned into limbs as the morning sun rose. She slowly made her way through the quiet city, it was far too early for anyone to be out. She was practically asleep as Rouge seemed to move slower. Kwennoir suddenly noticed this and halted him again. She slipped off her seat and rubbed her bare legs, adjusting her, long skirt, which had a slit at each side of her tanned legs. She lifted off her large sack and flung it over her shoulder and then removed her pole from the straps and slipped it into her sack, it only managed to stick out slightly.
She patted her beloved horse and held onto the rains and they walked together. She yawned and pulled out the official letter from the Pharaoh.
'I officially request your presence at the palace, two sunrises and two moons from this point on. Do not be late.' Below was a sketched map of the city, she followed it precisely - however it wasn't the best of sketches.
Eventually, after a few minuets of trying to follow the map, she threw it away and trusted her instinct. Taking a few deep breaths, she decided to turn left, past a rather large temple - which looked to be a shrine of some sort.
Surely enough, she came to the palace, her breath stopped sharply in her throat. She looked upon the architecture with an awe, saw had never seen anything like it. It was built with a white marble stone, it towered over the dingy streets, over the poorest of corners - almost like it mocked the lower class.
A smile finally spread across her face.
"Finally, Rouge, we're here. I hope they let me keep you in the palace, they should have a stable somewhere." She began to proceed toward the steps, however she met with two guards on her descent.
"Name?" She flinched at such rudeness.
"Don't you know that's no way to talk to a lady." She placed her hands on her revealing hips, coaxing her head to one side. Giving him a seductive wink. He blushed and moved back, although the other guard wasn't so easily fooled.
"He asked you a question."
She sighed and answered truthfully, "Kwennoir." Rolling her eye's, the guards approached her and before they could reach her, she managed to regain enough strength to punch one of the brutes in his stomach. The other however, charged toward her and grabbed her from behind. Wrapping one arm around her waist and moving the other hand, through the slit in her long, brown skirt and run his hand toward her entrance. She gasped as he groaned huskily.
"Get off of me you moron." She wiggled out of his grip and flung him over her shoulder. He landed roughly on the cool tiles. Kwennoir turned to assault the other once more and he had the same longing, hungry look in his eye's. Until a voice came from behind them.
"Stop this fighting, there will not be fisticuffs in my streets!!" Kwennoir stared up at a tall, slender male. He stood lean and glared at the guards with a fearful gaze.
He wore the finest, white silk and gold jewellery, it glinted in the heavenly light of the early sun. He began to stride down the steps. Kwennoir flattened the creases in her clothing and bowled as he approached her. Even though he did order her to travel through the worst weather, he did save her from being raped. The least she could have done was to pay her rescepts and thank him.
"I thank you greatfully Pharaoh." She lowered herself further as she sensed his presence near her.
To her surprise, he bent down to meet her gaze, he held out a clean hand and she placed her tired and sweaty one in his.
"Please, just call me Yami." She smiled warmly, he didn't seem so bad. He lead her up the stairs, when he turned back to face the guards.
"You! Take this nobel steed to the stables, give him some fresh food and water." He ordered sternly and lead them toward the entrance again.
As they entered, Kwennoir saw it's intior beauty. The gabbs used for windows, allowed heavenly streams of light to enter the palace halls.
"I wlecome you to my palace, please. I wish to conduct business right away and be over with it, then I can show you to your chamber." He spikey haired Pharaoh slightly pleaded to her. Something had seemed to be troubling him. She nodded and continued to let him lead the way.
They walked down many, long, marbles halls and passed many statunes of the Gods, some were even of different monster type forms. Forms that she could not reconise, howver something deep within her mind told her she had seen them before.
The pharaoh never slipped her hand from his as he grabbed a torch and lead them down a dark shaft of stairs.
Kwennoir began to breathe slight sharper, the one thing she feared was the dark. She didn't mind the glint of moonlight at night, it was the one thing to illumined her way through the cool nights. But to be in a dark, in surrounds that were unfamiliar, scared her to her inner most core.
She clung to the Yami's arm, he peered down at her and asked if she were okay.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. I just don't like the dark." Yami nodded and laced his finger's with her's.
"Please, do not fear, I will protect you. However I am surprised, I thought by your reputation, the dark wouldn't be a challenge for you." Kwennoir's gaze met to the floor. Yami suddenly realised that he had upset her.
He stooped her, and turned to face her, head on. The glow from the firey torch highlighted his stunning features.
"I am sorry. I did not mean to cause you pain. Everyone's afraid of something, I myself are afraid of a few things and it is one of my fears that has brought you to my palace." They proceeded again and she felt the stairs end and they began to walk on tiles again. Yami squeezed her hand a whispered in her ear.
"Do not fear for long. For I will light the room." She nodded, his soothing voice calmed her nerves and soon she felt his grip leave her's.
Moments later, another torch was lit and the another and then another. Soon everytourch was lit in the entire chamber. She stared up, the celine seemed to go one forever. This room was nothing like the others, the ground was the same tone as the walls and there were no stone marvels to look upon.
Yami soon returned to her side and grabbed her hand again, he moved them together, toward the opposing wall. It held a dazzling, gold sarcophagus. In certain holes, were various gold items. They sparkled with the fusion of light paint and the lights that lit this wonderful sight.
Kwennoir couldn't help but think how much they'd be worth if she managed to sell them. However Yami interrupted her thoughts.
"These, are the Millennium items. They pocess great and mysterious powers. Powers that none here know of and when I was given these by my Father, he made me promised to always protect their power. Also, to only give these items to some of my most trusted alleys. As you can see, there are two spaces. One of which held the Millennium Rod, I gave that to my loyal friend, Seth - the sorcerer and the other space, held the Millennium Necklace, I gave that, also to a dear friend, Isis." He paused for a moment, to make sure Kwennoir could take all of this in.
"Now, lately, there have been attempted robberies. These thieves have all tried to break into this room and each time, they have gotten a little closer to taking one of these items. I fear that the next time they attempt to steal an item, they will succeed. That's why I've summoned you here. I ask that you will guard these items through the night." He pleaded with her, his eye's told a saddening tale of fear and disappear.
Kwennoir could relate to his sorrow, though she realised that she didn't have a choice in the matter. She frowned and stared at the items again, confused with the feelings of sympathy and regret. To guard the items was one thing, she felt it were her duty to help out her Pharaoh, however she still felt sad to leave her town.
"Yami; Pharaoh. You see, I really relate to how you feel, but my town, I've protected it for years. From terrifying monsters that go invading our homes and killing innocent people, it's where I built a reputation, for defending my home. I feel that if I stay here, it will happen again. I would really like to help, I would, but..."
"But nothing. I will send my most trusted scourers to protect your home. If you will stay here and guard my treasure." He raised his eyebrow's and waited her response. She grinned and flung her arms around his neck, embracing their bodies together. At first, he wasn't sure how to respond but soon wrapped his arms around her waist.
She leaned back and swiftly kissed his cheek, suddenly she flinched back and hastily fell to her knee and bowled in apology.
"Please forgive me Pharaoh, I did not realise what my actions were." She was prepared to be dragged off by him, to be executed or tortured. However Yami just blushed and assured her it was okay.
"That's alright, I realise that your home is very important to you." She lifted her head and a smile returned to her tanned face.
"Well, shall I show you to your room?" She jumped up and took his offered hand.
