XIII. Treasures
At the Pharaoh's Chamber, Aknamkanon just revealed Ra-seru's identity and it turns out that it was Yugi. He was really pleased and at the same time a bit angry for revealing his disguise that early. They only stared intenly at each other.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Yugi asked staring at the ex-pharaoh.
"I'm really sorry I didn't mean to be rude but your aura ... it soothes me and very comfortable indeed" Aknamkanon replied with a smile.
"Please don't tell the pharaoh about this. I have my reasons but I can't tell right now" Yugi said sadly.
"Don't worry, I'll keep your secret unless you ask me one quetion" Aknamkanon said.
"What is it, then your highness?" Yugi asked.
"Why do you concealed yourself from my son when he told me about you?" Aknamkanon asked.
"... For now, my answer is 'What can be seen but cannot be seen' " Yugi said, looking up
" I see well you can go now and not to worry I won't tell" the ex-pharaoh grinned and Yugi smiles putting back the cowl of his robe and left the chamber.
"Darkness Game, no it couldn't be!" Aknamkanon thought.
Outside the room, Yugi or should I say Ra-seru breathed a sigh of relief that he can trust Atemu's father. He wonders if he can find out who or what could he has to do with this. As he wonders on his mind, he was bumped to someone.
"Sorry I didn't see you" Mahaado said cluching his head.
"Sorry I didn't see you" Ra-seru said
"Well it's okay anyway have you seen my apprentice? She's skipping her lessons again!" Mahaado whined but unfortunately Ra-seru didn't see her.
"MANA WHERE ARE YOU? COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" he shouted and Ra-seru can't help himself but to laugh.
"Does she do this most of the time?" Ra-seru asked.
"Unfortunately, yes. Would you mind help me to finding her?" Mahaado asked.
"Sure!" Ra-seru said.
Both of them searched the whole palace but unfortunately they haven't made any progress. Ra-seru wonders how Mana managed to do her magic work even though she tends to skip her sessions with her master. He recalls the first time he met her at the Pharaoh's memory and helping him and his friends then an idea struck him.
"If I were her where should I go where my master can't find me?" Ra-seru asked musing to himself
"Uh? What are you talking about?" Mahaado asked in confusion.
"Think of it this way: If Mana wants to get away from her master what do you think she would mostly go?" Ra-seru stated.
"Of course now I get it, it's a place where you usually go and I think I know where she is" Mahaado said grinning.
"We'll see if you're correct then" Ra-seru said and off they went.
At the throne room, Mana was having a little chat with Atemu when Mahaado and Ra-seru came in.
"Uh-oh!" Mana said a sweatdrop came on her face.
"Come now my apprentice time for your lesson" Mahaado said angrily.
"But...------" Mana stuttered.
"No buts" Mahaado said sternly and Mana was forced to go then he apologized for disturbing the pharaoh and left.
"That was weird" Ra-seru stated and the pharaoh agrees.
Because of today's events, Ra-seru was finally tired and decided to go to sleep. He kept moving back and forth as he slept then suddenly he felt a wincing pain. Darkness began to cover Domino already and so is Egypt, many people are dying as Ra-seru felt it then suddenly he screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH Darkness... pain...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ra-seru shouted as he suddenly woke up.
"What a nightmare! I have to find out the source soon" he added and went back to sleep. Little did he know that the ex-pharaoh was watching.
