Kairma found herself in the throne room, surrounded by the other guardians, including Seto, who was glaring at her. Atemu sat down in the throne, Kairma's face filled with fear. Mahad, Aknudin, Isis, and the other guardians all looked at her as she stared at them in fear.
"There is no need to fear, Kairma," Atemu reassured her gently. "These people are a part of my sacred court, which is what I want you to belong." Seto looked bewildered at the Pharaoh's remark.
"My king, why do you want this weak girl in your sacred court?" he protested, striding up towards the throne.
"Wait, Seto," Isis whispered, holding up her hand to stop him from speaking out. "My Necklace has showed me her future, and I saw that she will be a part of the court, and will help defeat this evil that surrounds Egypt." Seto growled, and walked away from the throne.
"This girl does not even have a Millennium Item, my Pharaoh," he whispered, glaring at Kairma.
"Do not worry, Seto," Atemu said, slowly standing up from the throne, walking over to Kairma. "She does now." Suddenly, with a bright flash of light, a long, sleek sword with the Millennium Eye on the handle lay in his hands, glistening in the torchlight. "This is the Millennium Sword, a very powerful sword, but when it's in the wrong hands, it would cause the destruction of the entire kingdom. Just make sure that you don't lose it, Kairma." He then handed the sword to the girl, who smiled broadly, admiring its smooth blade.
"By the power of the Millennium Items, I now beseech thee, Kairma, as one of my faithful Guardians!" Cheers erupted from the other guardians, all except Seto, that is. He walked off, smirking, towards a cloaked figure that stood in the shadows, watching the glorious event.
"Now then," he whispered to the figure. "When I give the signal, you go ahead and strike with your Shadow Creatures. Then, once the Pharaoh is weakened, you go ahead and kill him, but not just yet. Take off his so called 'guardians' away, one by one. Understand?" The figure nodded, grinning evilly. "Good. Now, wait here until I give the signal." Seto then walked off towards the Pharaoh, grinning.
"My king, shall we have a Shadow Game celebrating our newest member?" Seto asked Atemu, smiling wickedly. Atemu nodded, and Seto rose up his hands, as though to summon a Shadow Creature. Instead, the cloaked figure finally made his appearance to the Pharaoh. The figure threw off his cloak to reveal a man with blue-green eyes and brown hair.
"Meet my friend, Stafon," Seto laughed, waving his hand in introduction. "I brought him here to challenge each one of you to a Shadow Game, that is, if you are all up to the challenge." The guardians walked up to Stafon, but Kairma stayed behind with Atemu.
"You, girl!" Stafon yelled to Kairma, motioning her to come forward. "I would like to see your Shadow Game skills after your fellow guardians. How about it? Do you accept my challenge?"
"I guess so," Kairma whispered, courage slowly filling up her heart.
"Good," Seto said, wringing his hands with glee. Soon, Atemu, he thought. Your kingdom will be mine, once you and your guardians are dead. He laughed devilishly as each guardian began to fight Stafon.
What will happen to Atemu's guardians, and Kairma? Find out in chapter 3, Kairma's First Game.
