Tales of a thief king
Notes:
All of these stories... at least most of them are created entirely by me. Maadrath, Beneset, Houresus, Nephertys, Hequeth, Sebnekt, Sashi, Karia, Isrosis, and Little lotus are charactors made by me. These stories virtually will never end until I tire of writing them. The POV is usually Nahkti. Occasionally it is Ryoo or Maadrath. Nahkti in this story isn't quite as vicious as in the manga. This shows him more as a hotheaded boy, as well as a very human man. He's not a super villain anymore than what his sinful nature really wants him to be.
I put Ryoo in this story since he's my fave character. He's only somewhere around 11 and 13 here. Not as old as in the show. If you look carefully, you can sort of see which stories are in order, though. Nahkti gets more and more mature as he gets older. Less crazy. Because of this, the first few stories Nahkti acts like an idiot but I'm not really that bad of a writer.
These stories aren't necessarily in order. The first three are in sequence, though. They're almost like a prologue. The ones after are the actual long stories.
Oh, yeah, and Nahkti is Yami Bakura's rumored Egyptian name.
These stories aren't particularly well written because they're just short stories I make up quickly, but they're fun.
Nahkti and the thieves are constantly running back and forth from Kuru Eruna and Memphis for some reason. It gets a little tiring but I try not to make to stories too repetitive.
Notes about Egypt:
Ancient Egyptians marry pretty young. That's why Atemu is 16 in this story but he's married.
Tomb robbing is bad because if you take the stuff in the tombs, it makes the ba's of the people who have the stuff in their tomb poor in the next world. If you destroy the mummy it's even worse! That means you would kill that person's ba and that's a horrible thing.
Ancient Egyptians 'marry' foreign princesses and stuff to seal treaties. It is a common occurrence.
Egyptian royalty tend to marry their close relatives to 'keep the royal blood pure' (okay, this has nothing to do with this story. It's just a weird fact)
Notes about names:
Nahkti sounds like Nahkti, the Egyptian word for strong
After much research, I have come to believe that the Pharaoh's true name, Atemu (Go to for info) comes from the name of the Egyptian god of the rising sun. His name can be spelled Atem, Atmu, and Tem. He is represented by a lotus flower or a man with a lion head and mummy body.
