Ancient Egyptian Magic
Completed
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, it wouldn't be as fun reading and writing fanfiction.
Notes:
I searched the Internet for an Ancient Egyptian God of Healing, and found many.
Yami is the spirit of The Millennium Puzzle, and doesn't have his own body.
This is my first piece of fanfiction! Please tell me what you really think about it.
This happens after Yugi and the gang defeat Dartz.
Italics is thinking
Please read and review!
Chapter 2
In the cockpit, Seto was directing. "Hover over the largest pyramid," he said, and as they did he scanned the line where the sky and earth met. "Fly there," he said, pointing to a pyramid on the horizon. As they flew the pyramid seemed hardly to grow.
They landed at the entrance and Seto instructed the pilots to open the ramp and to wait for them. Seto walked back into the cabin and over to Yami. He gently moved his hands under Yami's back and lifted him.
"Where are you going with Yami?" Joey asked. Seto didn't reply as he stepped to the edge of the ramp. Everyone stood up and moved to either side of him. They watched as he walked down the ramp. As his feet touched the desert sand, a sandstorm started in what had been a clear sky. Seto's coat whipped out behind him. To the others still standing in the helicopter, the sand didn't touch him.
As Seto stepped closer to the pyramid, Joey shouted out. Seto stopped and half turned, watching as Joey ran down the ramp, followed by the others. They found as they reached the sand that they couldn't see where to go, and they couldn't see Seto.
"I can see him," Mokuba said. As he started walking forwards, the others fell in line behind him, and soon they could all see where to go.
Seto turned once again towards the pyramid.
As Mokuba prepared to step behind his brother the sandstorm obscured his vision. Soon the sandstorm cleared a bit, and he saw that his brother was now further ahead.
When Seto reached the entrance, a small panel besides the door glowed, and Yami's Millennium Puzzle glowed in reply. The sandstorm ceased and the door opened. The others ran to Seto's side, amazed that the sandstorm had suddenly disappeared. Seto turned to face them.
"When we enter, you must all stay at least one metre behind me," he said, ignoring their volley of questions. He stepped inside, wooden torches in the brackets on either side of the passage coming to life.
The sight of this caused the others to stop talking. They all stepped inside, watching as the torches they passed go out, leaving the passage behind them as dark as if they'd never entered.
This also surprised Seto, though he didn't show it. He kept looking over his shoulder, making sure the others stayed well behind him. As he reached a T-junction, he once again looked over his shoulder. They were still keeping their distance, spooked and convinced there was magic in the pyramid.
He looked down at the Millennium Puzzle hanging on a chain around Yami's neck. The eye was glowing, the tip pointing left. He turned left and kept walking. As he did so, he heard the others walking quickly to catch up.
Seto kept following the directions the Millennium Puzzle gave, the others following without a question. After many twists and turns, Seto saw a door ahead. The door opened as he walked closer. He stepped inside and walked to the stone in the centre.
He told the others to stay where they were, then moved around the stone and started climbing the stairs. He laid Yami at the top in the centre, facing the wall, which was decorated around the outside with carvings of hieroglyphics. In the middle was a carving of the Ancient Egyptian God Nekhbet, protector of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. She was shown as a vulture, hovering with her wings over a picture of a Pharaoh, who looked strangely familiar.
Seto descended the stairs and stood in front of the stone, which was carved with hieroglyphics, probably a prayer to Nekhbet, Seto thought.
He once again looked at the others, and then looked back towards Yami. Nothing happened for a few moments, then Seto saw Yami's soul rise up, dressed as a Pharaoh. It walked to the front and kneeled in front of the wall. Seto saw the hieroglyphics on the stone light up as he heard in his mind Yami's soul recite the prayer. When the prayer was finished, Yami stopped and the hieroglyphics glow faded as Yami's soul returned to its body. Yellow light then surrounded Yami, the light beams banding together over Yami's stomach. When the light disappeared, Seto walked up the stairs and picked Yami up.
As he walked past the others, he almost stopped when Téa asked a question.
"Was something supposed to happen?"
Why hadn't any of the others seen or heard anything? Then he remembered Yami telling him that the others had to stay one metre behind him. It was particularly important in the centre.
That must have been why they didn't notice anything, Seto thought as he walked, following the Millennium Puzzles directions. And why Yami told me to stand behind the stone.
As they reached the entrance door, another panel beside it glowed, Yami's Millennium Puzzle glowing again in reply. As Seto stepped onto the sand, the sandstorm started again. They made their way to the helicopter, and as Seto walked up the ramp the sandstorm stopped, leaving a clear blue sky like before. Seto laid Yami on the side seat and went to tell the pilots to take off when the others came in.
They sat in a row on the other seat and watched as Seto came back in and sat on the floor.
"Why did we go in that pyramid when nothing was going to happen?" Joey asked.
Should I say that I don't know, that Yami asked me, that I can't tell? Confusion filled Seto. He didn't know what to say, he didn't want to say the wrong thing, and he didn't want Joey to pester Yami about why they went.
"I can't tell," he said, his eyes fixed on the closed ramp, his thoughts jumbled.
"Sure you can buddy, we're your friends," Joey said.
Seto turned and glared at him. "I've already said that I can't tell, so stop asking!"
"Okay, okay," Joey said, holding up his hands. "You made your point."
Seto turned back to the ramp.
"Do you know why that sandstorm suddenly appeared and disappeared as you stepped on or off the sand?" asked Tristan.
Seto thought it over. He had been carrying Yami each time, yet he didn't know why it had happened. He would have to ask.
"I don't know," he said.
"You were talking with Yami before we got to Egypt, so you should know," Joey replied.
Seto stood up and walked over to Joey, who hastily put up his hands again. "I said I didn't know all right, so stop asking!" He whipped around and walked to stand next to the other seat, his back to them. He looked down at Yami. There was no clenching of the fists or moans of pain. Seto was glad that his friend was well now. He smiled. He owed Yami a lot.
One of the pilots came into the cabin then. "A couple more minutes until we land Mr Kaiba," he said. Seto nodded his thanks. It would be a relief to be able to escape from Wheeler and his endless questions.
So, what did you think? Please review, I want to know what you truly think.
