I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters and plots.

However the following characters (their powers and such) used in this fan fiction ARE mine:

Lady Aurora Phoenix

Lady Natara Fear

Lady Sapphira Star

Blaze

Chaos

Havoc

Now I know this will be different from typical stories thus the reason it is in the fantasy genre but I wanted to give Atem a family and have a way to keep an eye on him even while he was nothing but a spirit in the Millennium Puzzle... This way I could do just that. This is my first fan fic so forgive me if it is not to your liking.

"Bad News for High Priest Set"

"Lady Aurora," his voice made her stop just before she reached the door to her room.

"Yes, High Priest Set." She refused to look at him. She knew he was upset with her. She also knew there was nothing she could do. She was not going to get in the way of Atem and his people.

"You must not let Isis get to you. She is like everyone's older sister here. Overprotective and a little overbearing. She means no harm though."

"I see." She turned to face him. "You are very close to the Pharaoh. Family?" Set nodded.

"Yes, we are cousins," he answered. He was slightly confused as to how she knew that.

"You want to see him happy. But at the cost of his people?"

"No, not at that high a price. But I do not feel being with you will do that. I feel you are expecting to not be accepted and are using it as an excuse to leave." Her eyes widened in shock. She had never really thought about it that way.

Have I really been trying to get out? After everything that happened last night? "So what are you suggesting I do, Priest Set?"

"Give everyone here a chance. Even Isis. We need your help here."

"My help will not prevent what will come."

"What did you say?" Lady Phoenix gasped and bit down on her lower lip when she realized she said her thought aloud. Now she had to explain herself. But could she really tell the Pharaoh's cousin about the demise of Atem? "Tell me, what do you mean?"

"I am sorry. I should not have said anything."

"It is a little late for that now. What do you know will happen?" He reached forward and grabbed her arms to make her look at him. His calm face was fierce. "Tell me what you know!"

"Let go of me, now!" She ordered through clenched teeth.

"Not until you tell me what you know." Not one to cry out, she raised her eyebrow at him. Challenging him.

"You really do not want to know. I promise you that. You do not want to know," she hissed back.

"Do not make me hurt you," he warned.

"Fine, but do not say I did not warn you. Your cousin has a destiny that he does not know. His end is certain. He will become trapped within the puzzle he wears. You will be the only one who survives. You will be Pharaoh, but the loss you suffer will be great." Set shoved her back away from him. She slammed against the wall and hissed in pain as she glared at him. "You had to know," she said simply with an, I-told-you-so, tone. "It was not my choice to tell you this. I had no intention of telling anyone. I do not know when this will happen. But it will. With or without me here. I cannot protect him from his destiny."

"No!" Set exclaimed. "It cannot be!"

"It is," she said, her voice dark with anger. She braced herself in case he came at her again.

"How do you know this?" Lady Phoenix eyed him cautiously before answering.

"My Powers came with a price," she finally answered. "I receive visions of the past and the future. Anyone I come in contact with, I see a little into their life."

"Isis has visions. But she has not foretold this."

"At breakfast, I was told about the Powers within the Millennium items. The Necklace that Isis wears. It allows visions to come to her. But, she cannot see the future of the holders of the other Millennium items. It is the one drawback to her item. I have no such limitations. And before you say anything, I cannot tell this to the Pharaoh. He must never know."

"All right, then. Fine. That explains your comment. But your skills can still be of use to us here. Then there is Atem. You cannot tell me you do not care about him." The intensity in his ice blue eyes startled her. So much so, she had to look away. He was right. She did care. She did not want to leave. But she did not want to hurt him or be hurt either. Set saw the look in her eyes. "It is because of your vision you wish to leave." Her eyes closed tightly, trying to hold back tears. It was true even if she had only just realized it herself.

"I lost my husband before crashing here. If I fall again, the pain will be twice as difficult to deal with," she said softly.

"So you will spend the rest of your time on this Earth avoiding the feelings of the heart? You will continue to push everyone away?"

"If I can, I will."

"You know you cannot do this. You promised to be good to him." His words knifed through her heart. He was right, again. She sighed and leaned up against the wall bracing her foot up against it as well.

"You are right. My word is my bond. I did say I would be good to him. So what is it exactly do you propose I do?" Set blinked in surprise. He had not expected her to give in so easily. What was that she said? My word is my bond. His own cousin had used those words before. They were more alike than even he had thought.

"Stay, Lady Aurora. Take your place beside him. Come with us today. You could use more than just one gown anyway." He added with a smirk. Her face softened. She nodded in agreement.

"I suppose I could do with at least one more so I can change from time to time." She stood and faced him again. "So I stay. I will honor my word. You just keep a hold of Isis. And whatever you do, do not tell Atem what I told you just now."

"Deal. Now, come back with me. They are preparing the carriage for our trip to the marketplace." She nodded and followed him.
