So just what happens during this private chat? Guess you will have to read and see for yourself...


Be Careful Pharaoh

Atem chanced a look back in her direction as they walked. Her eyes were cast down; and unusual look for her. He had gotten used to her moving with her head held high. Her strength and noble blood evident with every step. He frowned in thought.

Not a word was spoken as they approached a large door at the end of the hall. Atem pushed open the door and held out his hand to her. He felt her fingertips lightly brush his palm and he led her inside. He watched her as she glanced around. Her eyes widened slightly.

"Your people treat you well," she commented as she took in the grandeur around her. His cheeks reddened slightly.

"It is alright, I guess," he replied with a shrug. "I do not need all of this." He paused and sighed. "I actually liked the simpler room I kept when my father was alive and I was merely a prince."

"You prefer plainer things then?" she asked. Atem nodded.

"I care nothing about money, and riches. Only about my people and their safety. Unfortunately, Pharaohs before me thought slightly differently than I and so it is naturally assumed that everything a Pharaoh owns must be rich in gold and such."

"I see." Lady Phoenix looked down again as she made her way to his balcony. She looked down over the garden and saw her friends resting while they waited for her.

"What is it, Aurora?"

"You tell me, Atem," she countered, turning to face him. "You brought me to your room to speak with me. So please, my friends are waiting." Atem sighed yet again.

"I have been worried about you since your blackout. My priests told me their version, but I am uncertain about their words. I need to know. Did Isis and Akunadin hurt you?" He noticed she cringed before answering.

"They meant no harm, Atem. Of that I am certain," she began, once again choosing her words carefully. "Isis merely wished to verify my story for your protection. Akunadin has that ability. They had no idea the danger that could have come from it."

"What did happen, anyway? Your friends said it sounded like a vision. Can your visions really be that harmful to you?" He watched her as she closed her eyes and attempted to hold back a grimace. Something was definitely wrong. Finally, she sighed.

"Some visions are worse than others. And yes, it was one of those visions that caused the blackout." Atem took a breath to speak again, but hearing him, she hurried on. "I know very little about the meaning. All I can tell you is to be careful."

"But, why, Aurora?"

"One of your own people will betray you, Atem. I did not see his face. And I do not know when this will happen." Shielding her thoughts from him, she added to herself, At least it is half truth.

"I see." Atem frowned. "You are certain you do not know when?" She shook her head.

"Or who. The face was clouded in darkness. I am afraid this vision will not help much at all," she lied.

"On the contrary, it warns me to watch what is said and done far more closer than I normally would," he assured her, his eyes sparking with anger at the thought of a traitor among his trusted court.. Lady Phoenix turned away and gazed back down in the garden. She saw Havoc looking up at them.

Aurora, we must get going. And soon if we plan to catch Lord Theron's hit man, Havoc's mental voice called up to her. His tone was dark and impatient.

I am on my way Havoc, she responded, her mental voice sounded tired. She turned back to Atem. "I really must be going. The sooner I go, the sooner I can get rid of the threat and get back here to better protect you." With that said, she started past him and headed for the door. Almost instantly she felt his hand on her wrist. Her heart froze at the sound she heard in his voice with his next words.

"Is that the only reason you are staying? To protect me?"


Ok so he is just a little miffed... Here is the woman he claimed to love... She never said it in return and now she ismaking it sound as ifshe is only staying to protect him? Doesn't seem right I know... How will she respond to his question? The next chapter will be up soon...
