Hello, great authors and reviewers all! The seventh chapter of Blood in the Sands of Time is now underway! Mana is now under Seto's control by the Millennium Rod. How will the other guardians and the pharaoh react to her false confession? Read onward and find out!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.
Kairma didn't know of anything that would happen in the palace, since she was sent to help the villagers repair the town from Bakura's destruction. Mana strode into the village, her eyes appearing as though she were in a trance, for she was being controlled by Seto, via the Millennium Rod. Seto and Stafon followed her, for it was part of their plan to frame Kairma again. Seto snuck into her room, and made the same red fluid run down the Millennium Sword, which was leaning against the wall. Grinning, he stayed behind to control Mana, and remain hidden from sight.
"Mana, what is this about?" Atemu asked, looking down at his childhood friend. "Where is Isis?"
"Atemu," Mana whispered, though it was Seto speaking through her. "I am afraid that Kairma has struck again. This time, she has killed Isis." Karim gasped in horror, clutching the Millennium Scale. Shada looked frightened as he held onto the Millennium Key, nearly breaking it. Aknudin stared down at Mana hard, seeming to look through her with his Millennium Eye. Seto, far off in Kairma's room, grinned evilly as Stafon, hidded with Millennium Ring, quickly placed the blood stained sword beside Mana.
"I found this beside Isis's body," Mana continued. "It seems that we have have a murderer in Egypt. I propose that we kill her when she returns!"
"Mana, how can you suggest such a cruel and unjust proposition like that?" Atemu asked, bewilldered at Mana's suggestion.
"I cannot say, as of now, my pharaoh," the controlled girl finished. "All I know is that Kairma must be put to death. You may have some time to think of my proposal. Good day." Mana bowed, and staggered out of the palace, wondering what had happened to her. Seto and Stafon grinned and laughed as they watched Kairma slowly return to the palace.
Sorry that this chapter was so short. Forgive me! Anyway, what will happen to Kairma when she returns? Will she be sentenced to death, or continue to be a guardian? Find out in chapter 8, An Unexpected Guest.
Review please!
