This one shot fic was inspired by a fanart that I saw once and automatically saved it. If you want to see it to, go to my profile, and click on homepage. It will be the first thing you see. It only has three colors, blue, white, and red. Hope you like this.

Ascension of a God
Yugi, who had come to help Atemu in the fight for his memories, had failed. The assassin's arrow had been well aimed. It had struck Atemu at his heart. The puzzle shattered, covered in blood.
Time seemed to slow down for Yugi. Even though he was right next to him when it happened, it felt as if eternity had passed before he got to Atemu. Yugi caught Atemu from behind and fell with him. Before anything else, Yugi pulled out the arrow. Maybe, just maybe, Atemu would live.
"Aibou…goodbye." Atemu's last words echoed through Yugi's ears. The shot had been fatal. Atemu's head fell against Yugi's chest, his body went limp.
Once again, time seemed to stop, and silence reigned. The movement around Yugi and Atemu's body faded. The sand lost its warmth. Cold was Atemu's body, cradled in Yugi's arms. Tears fell from Yugi's eyes as he looked up to the heavens.
Why…? How..? This…this can't be how it ends. It just can't. Oh Ra…Ra…
Yugi buried his face in Atemu's hair, the sobs racking his body. The sand regained its warmth, sound returned. Yet, Yugi remained oblivious. His mou hitori no boku, his partner, his friend, was gone. But, it is always darkest before the dawn.
A fine, white glow surrounded the two, growing stronger each minute past. Something likened to an angel appeared in front of Yugi, with compassion its entire being was filled.
"Rise, reincarnation of Atemu. Celebrate, Atemu is divine."
Yugi looked up, his amethyst eyes red-rimmed from tears.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Me? I am Najwa(1), messenger for the gods. Atemu, his body sleeps. Bless him. He has proven himself worthy. He is divine."
Yugi's eyes widened. He wasn't sure what was going on, but it was great.
"I repeat," Najwa spoke again. "Rise, reincarnation of Atemu. Rise, and watch." Najwa raised her arms.
"Oh great gods of Egypt, hear my plea. Atemu waits patiently. He is ready. Ra, ruler, come to oversee. Osirus, overlord, let him return. Anubis, judge, give him wisdom. Isis, mage, please teach him. Thoth, wizard, ordain him. You five I call. Bring this wayward god home."
They descended from the sky, too bright for Yugi to keep watching. But he didn't need to.
Ra, he took a form similar to the sun dragon that represented him. The same with Osirus. Isis looked similar to the Mystical Elf. Anubis was a jackal. Thoth took the form of the Dark Sage. A golden light surrounded and engulfed Atemu as the gods landed. He rose as the gods chanted, his wounds healed themselves. Soon, Atemu awoke, but he was different. He didn't have a sense of mortality anymore. He was a god.
"Pharaoh…" Yugi was breathtaken.
"Yugi, aibou, I have to go." Atemu said, backing up.
"What? But…your memories!"
"I have them. And this way…things are easier." Atemu sighed.
Ra nodded, and Osirus, Isis, Anubis, Thoth, and Ra rose to go back to their kingdom.
Najwa beckoned, "Atemu, come."
Atemu started to follow, his feet lifted off the ground.
"Atemu, will I ever see you again?" Yugi asked.
"Whenever you play a game, I will be there."
did ya like it? Did ya hate it? Tell me!
(1) Najwa- confidante in arabic. Not an actual goddess in Egyptian mythology. I just thought it was a cool name.
