Chapter 8Yugi watched the morning rise from the balcony. Yami was past the worse. But was still very weak. Though it was safe now to leave him to his slumber. He watched as red played with gold and blue, the gold vying for dominance of the sky as Ra rose. A cry reached his ears, and he looked up to see a hawk grace the sky. It's wings hinted with gold in the morning light. Yugi turned and bowed before the statue of Horus.
"Great god, you are warning me aren't you. It will be soon. If it is. Will you please watch over Yami for me?" Yugi in truth would not know what would happen to Yami. For the Vision could not show him past his own death. But he knew the future would be brighter for it. He bowed once more and decided to go and make the broth again for Yami. He turned as the Dark magician entered.
"Good morning Dark Magician."
"Good morn to you also little one" the dark magician smiled, ruffling the young one's hair.
"I am going to make something for Yami. Will you watch him for me?"
"Of-course"
Yugi left the room to travel to the Kitchens. The dark Magician watched him go then turned to the form of his master in the bed. He walked over when he saw him stir.
"D…dark magician?" he asked above a whisper. His voice seemed to have left him."
"My pharaoh. It is so good to see you awake."
"I had a strange dream. Father was trying to pull me to a cold place. But then…a sweet voice sang to me. I felt safe. Warm. It was like the voice of an angel"The dark magician smiled.
"The voice you heard was of Yugi's. In your worst night, you were thrashing. Nothing would calm you. You cried out. Yugi began to sing to you. His song still resides in my heart. I had never heard it before."
"T…that was Yugi?" Yami asked in awe.
"Yes, now drink. You must the thirsty." The dark magician placed the cup of water to the pharaoh's lips. He drank. Easing his soar throat. The young king looked around for the boy, but finding no sign began to panic. The dark magician seeing this smiled.
"Do not fear Yami. He has just gone to make you that broth you like so much." The Pharaoh lay back down again. Sighing in relief.
Yugi walked down the bright halls towards the kitchen. When he heard muffled angry voices from a side room. He looked in to see all the advisers conversing. He could see many followers behind them also.
"The pharaoh is weak. We should take the Millennium Puzzle now and kill him" Padafar commanded. There were several nods in agreement. Yugi thought to tell someone, but Padafar had great power, Yami was in no state to fight him. He quickly made the broth, and ran back to the Pharaoh's chambers. He fed the broth to the now awake king. Yami smiled his thanks, as his eyes closed once more in peaceful slumber. Yugi sat Watching Yami sleep. The dark magician having left, saying he would get rid of the plates. The young boy looked out at the land. His plan forming in his mind. When the dark magician returned he asked something of him.
"Dark magician. Could you get me some yew wood, and gold leaf?"
"Yes of-course young one. But why?"
"It's a surprise"
The shadow mage left then returned with the asked for items. Yugi sat on the floor taking out a dagger he began to carve. As the day past, and night gained its hold. Yugi still continued. When light peaked through the next morning. Yugi was holding an exact replica of the millennium puzzle. In truth it was wood covered in gold leaf. But unless you chopped it in half, you would never know the difference. He placed a rope in the loop he had carved. The placed the object round his neck. When the dark magician saw it he gasped.
"Yugi, you should not be wearing that!"
"Don't worry. It's not real. It's made of wood."
"Oh…. I see."
"I wanted to make it. To show mine and Yami's bond is all"The dark magician was about to answer when loads words interrupted him.
"THE PHARAOH IS WEAK. DEATH TO THE PHARAOH!" the two looked out the window to see a small army heading towards the palace. Headed by all of Yami's old advisers. And at the fore front…Padafar.
"Damn him. Yami is too weak to summon aid from the shadow realm. And I think too many guards have sided with them. Too set in their ways.
"THE SLAVE HAS CORRUPTED OUR PHARAOH" Yugi suddenly realised the choice. He turned to the dark magician.
"My friend. I will see what they want. I have to go. Before you try to stop me. It is the choice laid before me. Look after Yami for me. You and I both know he is too weak. He will be killed."
"But."
"Take care dark magician" Yugi went over to the pharaoh, and kissed his forehead." Take care…one who I would have loved to call brother" with that Yugi ran from the room. Down the long golden hallways and into the courtyard. Their Padafar saw him. The old advisers eyes nearly leaving their sockets when he saw what was round the boy's neck.
"THERE HE IS. HE HAS THE PUZZLE. GET HIM." Yugi ran, he ran for all he was worth. Hearing the advisers mount. He came across Asernath in the field, grazing. He whistled to the horse as Yami had done. The great beast galloped up as if sensing the need. The boy climbed upon his back. And whispered in the stallion's ears.
"Help me boy. Run, run like the sand of fate" The stallion sprang to life like a coiled spring. He jumped the fence as if it was never there. He raced out of the city…. to the valley of kings.
Yami awoke to the sound. He shakily ran to the balcony. The dark magician protesting.
"What is going on?"
"It is Padafar. He has raised a small army. He is after your puzzle." Yami's hand wandered to his neck, finding no puzzle there he gasped.#
"THERE HE IS. HE HAS THE PUZZLE. GET HIM." Yami looked down to see Padafar pointing to Yugi. He saw the puzzle around the boy's neck "no"
"It is not the real one my lord. Yugi…" the dark magician's eyes grew in size. " He knew…he knew this was to happen"
"What are you talking about?"
"The little one made a fake puzzle. I thought it was because he wanted to be more like you. But now I see that was far from the truth. He was protecting you. He knew"
"Yes. He knew" came a voice from the doorway. There Ishizu stood, a tear falling down her face. "Time is ever flowing…to its fate."
"Rouse what guard we have left. We are going after Yugi," the pharaoh commanded.
Asernath Ran like no other. The wind stinging Yugi's eyes. But he saw they had reached the Valley of the Kings. The young boy looked up when a hawk screamed. It flew before the horse and rider. Yugi knew what he had to do. Looking behind he could see Padafar following. And in the distance. A cloud of dust spotted with red and gold. Which could only be the Pharaoh. He didn't have much time.
"Follow Horus Asernath" The great stallion snorted and plunged on. The Hawk flew inside one of the tombs. Down the steps Asernath followed, until they came to a great chamber. Adorned with the form of Anubis, holding the sacred scales. The scales that judged your fate. He dismounted Asernath and held the great muzzle gratefully.
"Thank you Asernath. If it wasn't for you. I never would have met Yami. But now you have to go" the great beast seemed reluctant. But then relinquished and trotted away. Back to it's master.
Yugi stood alone. On the great seal. He looked when the hawk landed on his shoulder, nuzzling against him in comfort. He looked up at the sound of rushing footsteps.
"There you are boy. Give me the puzzle"
"Why do you want it?"
"So I can rule Egypt."
"Take it then. But it will do you no good" Yugi smiled.
"What" Yugi threw the puzzle. And Padafar caught it, expecting it to be heavier. His eyes widened in shock. He smashed the puzzle against the wall. To revile…splintered wood.
"Yami should be here soon, wonder how he will deal with you?"
"DAMN YOU" Padafar lunged forward, hands at Yugi's throat. Pushing him against the wall.
"Yami is too weak to fight me"
"Not for long though" Yugi thought in his mind. Yugi watched as Padafar called the puppet master………then his world…turned black.
Yami urged his horse on; he looked to see Asernath galloping back to the palace and his heart dropped.
"Yugi" there before him was Padafar's pitiful army. Now the fight would begin…….
