Chapter 11 – K.P.O.V..
'Is this a dream? This place, it has to be. This is the pharaoh's throne room. And that's Yami, and I'm actually Kit this time.'
"Kit, is there something wrong with you? You have been out of sorts all day long" I didn't know hwy, but something was pulling at me. I looked dot the doorway. "If there is anything on your mind. Speak it now." I looked, with my eyes downcast, at Yami.
"Nothing comes to mind milord. But I have a feeling we will be joined very shortly with another presence to-day. Someone I believe you know and like very little." I gave a deep bow and looked back at the door. And right on cue, the palace guards came in, hauling a tomb robber along with tem.
"Milord. We have apprehended a thief trying to steal from your newly deceased father's tomb."
Tomb robbing is a serious crime." the pharaoh stood up. I knelt down, as did the guards who forced the tomb robber into a bow. The tomb robber had a shock of white hair and dark chocolate eyes. He was no Egyptian. He was a foreigner. Like me. "Do you have anything to speak for your actions?" the tomb robber spit at his feet.
"You little ingrate!" one of the guards holding him down hit him upside the head.
"Pharaoh, all I have to say is this: in the shadows we shall duel. Under no known rule. And for the price to be paid. Is the pretty redhead maid." He was talking about me.
'Price to be paid? What did that mean? Do I also have history with this piece of filth?'
"Tomb robber! No duel shall be fought here. And under no circumstance would I allow this young lady to be the price."
"I'm afraid you have no choice pharaoh."
'What's happening to me?' I clutched my throat, but still, no sound would come out. I cast a pleading look towards Yami. 'Help me' the tomb robber just started laughing.
"I see your deliciously beautiful rose has withered, and is about to die. Now pharaoh, you have no choice but to duel me." The words, and the bone chilling laugh sounded many times more evil tha any of Shadi's predictions. And those were scary.
"You will let her go, and then I shall duel you. But under no other circumstances. Is that agreeable to you tomb robber?"
"Very much so pharaoh, but from out of my grasp I will not completely let her go."
'I'm losing control of the body, that means something is about to happen.'
"You made your first mistake by releasing my voice tomb robber."
'This feeling, it's like a never-ending warmth. I can feel the power radiating from her voice. Am I capable of doing this?'
"By the god almighty Ra, may you fall to-day; and by power of Osiris, never may you see his orbs ray!" her voice was thunderous, and even to those who were not priests it could be felt. And the tomb robber seemed to disappear.
'So this was how his soul was trapped inside the ring.' I felt a tug at the back of my stomach. 'Not again.' My soul was dragged back into the present.
