Yuugi feels ...

Yukiko decides ...

In Kemet (Egypt) ...

Chapter 9 - Experiences

Sighing, the young man remembers the sensation he felt and tries to recreate it inside out.

When he opens his eyes he realizes that he was back in the outside world and when he looks to the side, he sees something that resembled a container and that had a kind of broth, with him noticing that his seemed to have more content than the others and that it had been left inside the cage species.

So, he almost jumps from where he was, if he could do that, since the cage was not very big when he heard a thick voice next to him.

"Of course you will receive the best food. I want you healthy and well so that you can sell it at a good price. You are exotic and I will get excellent value." He speaks as if reading his thoughts while bringing his callused fingers to Yuugi's chin, forcing him to look at the man who smiles with satisfaction when watching him closely. "Eyes as unique as the ivory color of your skin and tricolored hair. Those eyes are like two amethysts. In fact, you are a beautiful exotic specimen. Surely you will generate a frenzy of buyers or buyers who are eager to have someone so odd with you.

Then, laughing with pleasure at the thought of the profit he would make from selling it, he released the young man's chin and before he turned away he turned his head sideways. "Only for those odd eyes will you win a second meal."

The young man massages his chin while trying to get rid of the disgusting sensation of oily hands on his skin. Yuugi had noticed as he watched the movement on the spot, that that disgusting man was their leader.

The smell of food reaches his nostrils again and his stomach starts to rebel with him deciding to eat the broth.

When he takes the object to put in his mouth and sip its contents, he hears the voice in a wishful tone of Yukiko in his mind, realizing that they could hear each other's thoughts with both of them starting to talk mentally. "I wanted to eat..."

"I think it's impossible." He responds with a drop on his forehead.

"I will find a way to get out of your mind to be spared that." She speaks after sighing sadly.

"Sorry" He mumbles feeling guilty.

"What do you have to excuse?" The young man could not see her features but believed that he could see her with an arched brow.

"If I had followed the others you would not be in this situation" He speaks sadly.

"I was fatally shot and had a lot of severe injuries and I was probably going to die. By using this magical technique I have guaranteed your life and mine. "

Yuugi reflects on the words she heard. He had not assimilated until that moment how serious her injuries were when he realized that she would have died as a result of them if she had not used the magic technique that she used to save their lives.

"I did not know that".

"Now you know. I'm going to look for a place so I can't see you eating. "

He feels that her presence leaves his mind while he continues to feel bad because his friend wanted to eat something.

Inside it, Yukiko huffed, supporting her snout on one of her paws, staying like that for a few minutes until she decides to use that time she had to probe what she was able to do because she feared for her friend.

Therefore, she decided that whenever Yuugi was absent from talking, she would ardently research ways to protect him while she longed to find a way to free him.

After all, she was safe inside him but he was not and considering that they would be sold as slaves, the dragon is desperate because she imagined the suffering that awaited them and that made her yearn to save him.

After eating, Yuugi rests his back on the cage while he is saddened by his fate and that of others as he looks at their defeated countenance and without any hope, with the children sticking to their mothers at the same time that many tried to touch their parents who were tied away from there with Yuugi discovering that they walked on foot so that the slavers could do their own sorting.

The young man looks to the side and decides to stretch his hands towards a flower and prays to the Goddess of the forest to later concentrate his Kiei and when he realizes that he still cannot use his powers, he sighs despondently while praying for them to recover them the next day.

Two days later, they passed through an area of dense and closed forest.

Yuugi always tried to talk to Yukiko while showing his fear for his fate and who was even more intense for not being able to use his powers yet while he found it very strange that he felt weak because he should have regained his power the next day of your capture.

The young man did not know that his friend had discovered a way to take his body temporarily while displeasing his groin, making her stoically ignore that part because she was a girl.

Whenever his friend went to talk to her and lay against her body, the albino made him sleep soundly so that he could take control of his body while testing the use of his Kiei, training while he slept.

During the training, she realized that without prayer she would be able to manipulate what she wanted while being aware that her intense training meant that Yuugi was unable to use Kiei because of the weakness that made him use Yukiko consecutively.

The dragon had decided to hide what she was doing because she didn't want to scare him.

After all, he believed that his friend would be terrified to learn that the dragon could subdue him without him realizing it while taking control of his body, although it was a practice that she detested because in addition to being morally wrong, there was a difference in bodies with she being a girl and he a boy, forcing her to stoically and ardently ignore his groin.

Yukiko also discovered that she was unable to assume the human form within him because she was forced to remain in the form of a dragon to her dismay.

A few days later, she realized that she could use part of her powers through Yuugi with her managing to strengthen his Kiei and in fact, the young man did not understand why he was better than the other days while feeling an increase in his powers while planning a way to free everyone without killing anyone, including his captors because he was unable to take a life.

The reason for regaining his power was because Yukiko no longer trained his Kiei because he focused on training the control of his powers through his friend's body when performing tests, always trying to have a safety margin and doing so that his captors didn't realize what he was doing.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in Kemet, more precisely on the outskirts of the palace of that empire, Prince Atemu, now seventeen years old, was with his white falcon, which was a female named Kytzia, which he dominated and trained. The act of taming the animal symbolized the transition from childhood to adult life and as it was a hawk, this also represented the prince's divinity with the additional of the hawk being a target, making it distinct from the others.

After all, the sun god Ra had the head of a falcon and Per'a'ah (Pharaoh) was considered the son of the sun god.

Usually, males were tamed. The choice of the female was because she was white, standing out from the other hawks along with the fact that she commanded all others and as he would be the future Per'a'ah, a distinct hawk would be worthy of him.

While he saw the beautiful animal flying close to him, he found himself thinking about his recurring dreams involving a boy with spiky colored heads like him, with the difference of the golden fringes being all lowered, not having some spikes like his bangs. The amethyst eyes were large and expressive. The amethyst was a precious jewel in his empire and symbol of the Pharaohs, making his eyes precious as he remembered the young man's ivory skin.

The prince was fully aware that he felt attached to him and in a disconcerting way, making him anxious to sleep, aiming to have the dream, again.

Then, after calling for his female falcon that flew in the sky, he lands obediently and elegantly on his arm while the guards were further away and watching for any approach.

Atemu hands a piece of fresh meat to the bird that tastes the food and then strokes it gently using the back of one of his fingers.

After sighing, he turns his head to his right side when he hears footsteps, identifying the owner of the steps as being the tjaty (Vizir) Shimon, his future Royal Counselor when he assumed the throne.

After all, his father was very ill with the royal healers, failing to cure the king until they understood the reason for his illness.

The prince believed that the reason his father fell ill and that no healer could find the cause was due to his parent's request made years ago, to the Gods and their ancestors to spare Atemu from the sin that Akhenamkhanen committed, humbly crying out and desperately so that divine fury could be discharged against him in the name of his unforgivable sin.

Atemu firmly believed that the Gods and their ancestors were punishing their parent as he had begged years ago, so that his unforgivable sin did not reach his son and that this justified the inability of the royal healers to treat him while Mahaado he had said at the time that he could not tell Pharaoh's reason why he made him promise never to tell while he reigned.

With that sentence, the prince knew that when he became the sovereign of that empire, he could have the answers that he had been looking forward to for years, because he fervently wished to discover the reason for the Gods and their ancestors to punish their parent and the reason they would have gone to that one when I was younger.

When Per'a'ah was crowned after the end of the khaj-nisut, the coronation ceremony that lasted for a whole year and which involved various ceremonies, rites and parties, his childhood friend would have to tell him this secret in addition to answering all his questions.

Shimon bows slightly, announcing his presence while the crown prince held the target falcon on his arm and whose claws rested on some of the several pure gold bracelets on his arms while he was fully aware that he needed to train in the use of the mask. Pharaoh when he was in public and in the palace because he was to act as a God among men, exercising his dominion with an authoritarian and equally divine hand to maintain order.

As he was in an isolated place and away from the public, the Iry-pat (príncipe herdeiro) intended to relax by being himself and not the future Pharaoh.

So Atemu asks with evident concern on his face. "Is it my father, Shimon? Has he gotten worse?"

"No. His honorable parent is stable but still very weak."

The Iry-pat (Crown Prince) realized that when his father's illness was announced and that the royal healers could not find the cause for them to treat him, tjaty Shimon showed no surprise while showing only pain in his eyes and a profound sadness at the state of the monarch who was his relative. The concern on his face was also evident when he saw the state of Akhenamkhanen.

Therefore, he believed that his father's friend and cousin, Shimon, knew what happened and that made him suspect that he knew about his parent's request to the Gods and ancestors, as well as the guilt and intense grief that affected Per 'a'ah with Atemu believing that his father had told him about the visit they made years ago.

In fact, Shimon knew the truth about the Sennen Aitemu and their method of creation because he was present when Mahaado revealed what he discovered after investigating the darkness in his Sennen Ringu with him being saddened by his cousin.

After all, he was aware that Akhenaden never told his brother what the ritual was like to create the items, causing Per'a'ah to authorize a heinous act without knowing the consequences of his authorization, becoming yet another victim, besides the inhabitants of Kul Elna, although Shimon knew that he would never see himself as a victim, but as the one responsible for the abominable massacre that followed his orders and reign.

Upon learning of the younger brother's lies towards his older brother, or rather, the omission of essential parts of the ritual of creating items called sacred treasures by the court, the tjaty confronted Akhenaden who justified the omission of the truth and certain parts of the ritual to ensure that his brother authorized the creation of the items so that Kemet could be saved.

After all, for Akhenaden, only the power of powerful magic items like the Sennen Aitemu, could save the empire from being overwhelmed by the hekau khasut (Hyksos) and what he did in the name of maintaining and securing the empire as well as all kemetics, as well as having added that he had lied to his brother because he knew that he would never authorize such an abominable act while promising that he would teach future generations about the justice and laws of Ma'at, as well as accepting the judgment of their sins in the afterlife death.

Despite such justifications and promises, Shimon was still angry at what Akhenaden did because he knew how Akhenamkhanen would react when he discovered the truth, blaming himself until the end of his days while guilt would devour him alive, causing his visit to the temple next to Atemu was no surprise to him, but expected.

Then, Shimon comes out of his past memories when he hears Iry-pat's voice.

"Did he make any requests that I can make to make him happy?" Yuugi asks in a confirmation tone because he was suspicious of a desire that his parent had when commenting with him, a few days ago.
