unshed-tears247- Please do not worry about not being able to review... Life has a tendency to keep us busy ...smiles... I do appreciate the time you have taken to read it this far and am glad you seem to be ok with it... and to answer your question, Yes, I was thinking of doing just that... As well as bringing the Ka that was found in Lady Phoenix into play as well. It is taking me a bit but I am finally over that small hurdle and am ready to proceed. It won't be much longer I promise.
DDCfreak- glad you are enjoying it so much. As you are hoping for... the next chapter, lol! Enjoy!
Pharaoh's Secret Revealed
"That was... That was amazing, your highness," Mahado marveled. "I never taught you that. Where did you learn such magic?"
"That is just it, Mahado," Atem replied in an oddly calm voice. "I did not learn it. It just... It just happened."
"What do you mean it just happened? How could something like that just... happen?" Mana asked, her eyes wide with shock.
"Because it is a part of him." The three turned toward the gate opening to the garden and saw a very tired looking, but battle ready, Lady Phoenix standing there.
"Lady Aurora," Atem breathed. "You came back."
"I promised you I would return. I am sorry I could not have come back sooner. Are you all alright? You are not under attack?" Lady Phoenix looked around to see if there was someone near by who should not be.
"We are fine, my lady. We were merely practicing our skills," Mahado responded. "But please, explain what you meant by that fire being a part of him." She looked down for a moment, but Atem spoke before she even opened her mouth.
"It is because of the mark." It was not a question. He was finally beginning to understand why he had felt so much stronger since she had arrived.
"You mean that scar on your shoulder?" Mana asked.
"Yes, Mana," Lady Phoenix answered. "By helping me, he was given stronger powers. Powers only a few can possess. When a member of my team was killed, he sought the Pharaoh out. I still do not understand exactly why. He was then taken to the vision of our final battle and it was there Blaze gave his Powers to your Pharaoh." She looked back over at Atem. "And it seems he has finally tapped into them. How did it feel, Pharaoh?" He gazed at her for a moment.
"Natural.Like I have been using it for all my life." She nodded.
"Now just think what that Power could be like combined with the power you already hold in your Millennium item," she commented with a soft smile.
"You mean he can combine them?" Mahado looked hard at the puzzle and then back at her.
"Yes, he can. With practice. And he would then be a very tough opponent to face. I would not exactly wish it."
"That is saying something for a woman who went face to face with one of the most feared Ka beasts around." Mahado commented with a shake of his head. She chucked lightly.
"Ah, but he gets stronger. Even I will not be able to face him on my own one day."
"Then we must take him out before he gets that strong," Atem said fiercely. She shook her head.
"It will not be that simple, I am afraid. This war... It is only just beginning. Your descendants will be fighting this same war again in the future."
"How can that be, Lady Aurora?" Mana asked. Lady Phoenix lightly touched the young magician on her head and gave a sad smile.
"In time, that will be revealed. But it has not been made clear as of yet." Mana stamped her foot in frustration. A cough caught their attention at the gate. Turning, Lady Phoenix's friends were seen wearing confused looks on their faces.
"What happened?" Lady Star asked.
"The Pharaoh merely tapped into his new Powers during his practice this morning," Lady Phoenix replied. Chaos raised an eyebrow but grinned. Lady Fear smiled warmly and Lady Star nodded at Atem with a sparkle in her eye. Even Havoc seemed to have a look of grim respect for the young Pharaoh. Lady Phoenix saw that and took it for a sign that he might just accept Atem yet. At least she hoped. With the secret they were hiding due to be told, she really hoped she would have the support of all her friends. They all talked amongst themselves for a while as questions about Atem's new Powers were answered. Lady Phoenix promised to go over the abilities he could add to his own powers at a later time. They were all headed back inside the palace when Akunadin and Set met them just inside the doors. Lady Star gasped softly and Lady Phoenix raised an eyebrow. Lady Star looked at her friend and shielded her thoughts from everyone but Lady Phoenix.
Who is that? She asked. Lady Phoenix smiled lightly.
He is High Priest Set. The Pharaoh's cousin. He is also one of the strongest of the priests. His Millennium Rod makes him a fair opponent. Lady Phoenix explained.
Why have I not noticed him before?
We have not been around much since you awoke. He is attempting to find ways to make their forces stronger against the Thief King. She caught the look in Lady Star's eyes, and sighed. I am afraid you will have to wait your turn, my friend.
Why is that? Lady Star continued to cast small glances up at the tall priest, captivated by his ice blue eyes.
Because another woman has his heart right now, Lady Phoenix answered. She noticed her friend suddenly look down at the floor. Casting a quick glance up at the priest herself, she saw that he had noticed as well. She shielded her next thought from even Lady Star. Humm... This could have an interesting twist to Priest Set's future.
Ok, so I added a new twist... Don't worry, Kisara still plays her part... (smiles) But even Priest Set must move on after she has passed... Till next time...
