Intro: realising their feeling for each other the grieving pair are in a fluster on what to do as they do not wish to betray the memory of their spouses
Suddenly as if in a trance Murajah lifts her head and turns to face her cousin in law, their eyes locked, and before ether of them knew what was happening, Seto lent down and kissed his Queen.
Murajah's eyes widen then fluttered closed a split second later Seto eyes snapped open and pulled away from his queen, he stood up and backed away, he looked everywhere except at Murajah.
"I'm sorry Majesty I do not know what has come over me forgive me," he said.
Before glancing at the guards hopping beyond hope that they did not see, and he was not going to be put in the dungeons for being inappropriate with his Queen.
Murajah still in shock at what the High Priest just did but wearing a faint blush didn't say anything.
"I um…. I've got to…. Get…. Back… To… The palace… Excuse me" and with that Seto made a hasty retreat.
Murajah watched him go before turning back to face the Nile and placed her head in her hands.
"What, what is happening, just now I felt something a fluttering in my stomach a warm safe feeling" she whispered to herself.
It is the same feeling that I got from Atem when he used to kiss me" she though.
Then something clicked.
No, it can't be I can't be in love with the high Priest, can I?' She asked her self
Feeling out of sorts, Murajah rose to her feet, she needed comfort and knew where to get it, so she turned back and walked over to the guards.
"Is they're anything you wish from us majesty?" asked Jafari.
Murajah took a deep breath.
"Yes, please accompany me to…the Valley of the Kings."
Murajah heart constricted in sorrow as she said the last words, the guards were shocked and surprised but did not show it, instead they bowed and walked with their Queen back to the horses. Where they helped her mount Blaze once on the horses they galloped across the desert to the valley.
***The Valley of the Kings/ Atem's tomb****
They slowed the horses down to a walk as they rode through the valley heading for the Pharaoh's Tomb, when they arrive at the tomb they dismounted.
"Eyes open and stay alert, I shall return soon" said Murajah.
"Yes, my queen" they replied.
Murajah turned and walked through the entrance and disappeared out of site, her hand brushed along the wall and the caving, as she made her way through the tomb her heart was full of pain, yet she felt peaceful. As Murajah continued her way through the tomb she felt the caving of something under her palm, which felt different from the others.
Murajah stopped and tuned her head and to her sudden surprise she was face to face with the calving of her husband. Tears suddenly began building in her eyes, as she looked at the face of her husband, she stepped closer and ran her hand over the caving of his face.
"Oh, my love" She whispered as a tear slipped from her eyes.
With a heavy heart she turned away and continued down her path, as she went deeper into the tomb it suddenly began getting darker, the queen knew that it was the work of the shadow magic protecting the tomb it was also the power her husband controlled.
Murajah laughed and spun around.
While the shadows swirled around, and pressed up against her body, for when she felt the shadow magic near her, she felt she could feel Atem with her and protecting her as the shadows' magic protected the tomb. At last Murajah emerged from the shadows and saw she had at last made it to Atem's burial chamber.
She steps up to the stone door that led into the burial chamber.
OK Murajah you can do this, remember you ARE the Queen of Egypt, you are protected by the gods and the shadows while you're here' she told herself.
She then knelt in front of the door.
The carving on the door was of Ra the sun god; Murajah lifted her head and looked into the eyes of Ra.
"Oh, great and mighty god of the sun, it is I Murajah Queen of Egypt I ask for entrances into the burial chamber of the Pharaoh," said Murajah.
The eyes of Ra glowed.
Suddenly the area began shaking, startled Murajah stood up and backed away only to see the door slide up permitting her entrance, Murajah sighed before stepping through the door and into the chamber. She stood at the entrance and looked across the room, on the other side of the room, laid the Sarcophagus, and inside it was the mummified body of her dearly beloved husband.
Murajah took a deep breath, before picking up the ends of her dress and walking down the steps, she walked along the isle, and up the steps.
She stood in front of the Sarcophagus then she gracefully knelt, in front of it and lay her arms on top before putting her face into her arms and crying her heart out.
"I have betrayed you my love," she said through her sobs.
****Kingdom of Heliopolis*****
Meanwhile back at the palace, in the high priest's bedchamber, Seto lay on his back staring up at the ceiling, tears of sadness and anger ran down his face, sadness for missing Kisara, and anger for kissing his Queen his COUSIN'S Wife. After a while, he got up off the bed and walked out of the room, where he made his way to the stables and mounted his brown horse champion.
Once in the saddle Seto galloped out of the stables through the courtyard catching a glimpse of the dragon as he rode out of the gates.
He raced through the kingdom and out into the vast desert. Seto galloped across the stands of Egypt trying out riding the pain and shaming in his heart.
You are an irrational empathetic fool how could you cross such a line' said his subconscious,
**** AFTER LIFE***
Atem and Kisara were watching everything that was going on thanks to the power of Ra, they were able to see what was happening and what they saw broke their hearts, and in the end Kisara had to walk away. Atem followed her, catching up to her he placed what he hoped was a comforting hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him.
"My lady I know this hurts and that you are in pain, I'm hurting to but there is nothing we can do but watch over them" said Atem.
But inside his soul was crying.
Kisara looked at her Pharaoh/ cousin in law.
She sighed.
"I know you are right my Pharaoh it's just hard to say goodbye."
Atem nodded.
"I understand my lady."
Together they turned back and walked back to the viewing pool to watch over their loved ones once more.
***Earth/ Valley of the Kings Atem's burial chamber***
After crying for hours on her husband's Sarcophagus, Murajah lifted her head and whipped her tear stand face; she looked at the face of the Sarcophagus and gave a sad smile.
"I better get going my love everyone will be worried I love you," she said before standing up.
She took one last look at the Sarcophagus and turns to make her way back the way she came. Once out of the chamber she turned on her heels and bowed her head to Ra the eyes flashed, and the area once again shook as this time the door closed sealing her husband up again once more.
Murajah made her way back through the tomb, as she walked out of the tomb she could see the guards and walked over to them.
"I wish to head back now" she told them as she mounted Blaze.
They formed around her and made their way out of the valley.
Meanwhile Somewhere in the desert, Seto had stopped Champion and looked out across his surrounding, he tilts his head back and screams out to the high haven's as tears poured down his face he sat there in the wide-open desert for a few minutes to calm his mind and breath.
Feeling the tears, he furiously whipped them away, then took a deep breath and let it out slowly, before pulling on Champion's rains and turning him around to head back to the kingdom.
Somewhere else in the desert Murajah continued her long journey back to the kingdom, after many long hours they finally saw the kingdom come into view.
FINALLY thought Murajah.
****Kingdom of Heliopolis****
Murajah and the guards rode though the kingdom towards the palace they entered the palace gate and made their way through to the stables, when they entered they all dismounted and made their way into the palace.
"Please inform the kitchen staff to bring me lunch," said Murajah '
"Yes" majesty said Min
Murajah walked the corridors towards the dining hall only to pass Siamun.
"Afternoon Siamun" said Murajah.
"Afternoon Majesty I hope you had a good morning on your ride" said Siamun.
"I did thank you are there any Meetings this afternoon?" asked Murajah.
"There are you have a meeting at 2" replied Siamun.
Murajah nodded.
"Oh Siamun" she calls, as he was about to walk off.
"Yes, my queen?" asked Siamun.
"Has the high Priest returned yet," she asked.
"The high Priest, Majesty I thought he accompanied you this morning?" asked Siamun.
He did but he said he needed to return to the palace"
"No Majesty he has not," replied Siamun.
Murajah nodded and continued her way.
Murajah entered the dining hall.
"Good afternoon Majesty" said the servant's as they went about their business in the dining hall.
Murajah smiled and nodded, a servant walks over, bows and pulled out her chair.
"Thank you" said Murajah as she took her seat and felt the chair being pushed in.
10 minute later a Kitchen hand walked in carrying a tray.
"Your lunch my lady" he said.
Setting the tray on the table and placing her meal in front of her before taking the tray bowing and leaving the dining hall.
Murajah ate her lunch in silence once finished she stood and left calling on her guards.
"Issa Jafari Kamuzu Min."
The guides heard the call and made their way up the corridor.
"Yes majesty" they said spotting their queen just outside the doors of the dining hall.
"I'll be going for a walk please accompany me"
They nodded and followed their queen through the palace.
They stepped out into the courtyard, as they passed the garden, The Queen saw the High Priest kneeling in front of the Kisara's headstone.
Murajah smiled sadly at the High Priest.
I'm glad you returned safely, she thought.
Before walking on, Murajah and her guards walked through the palace gates and out into the kingdom.
As she walked through the kingdom and saw many of the younger kids playing happily. While older kids had solemn looks on their faces as they played, many kids spotted their Queen stopped what they were doing and bowed.
Murajah saw their sunken looks and gave them sad smiles.
They miss their pharaoh as much as I do she thought.
Just then a little girl came running though and tripped then fell, Murajah walked over and knelt.
"Are you hurt child?" asked Murajah.
The little girl looked up at the sound of the kind and gentle voice, but her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the face of the Queen looking down at her, Murajah knelt and held out her hand. The little girl looked at it then shyly took the Queen's hand Murajah stood up and helped the little girl to her feet.
The little girl's mother walked over to them.
"Katina what happened?" asked the woman.
"I fell mummy, but the Queen help me up," said Katina.
That's when Katina's mother saw the Queen.
"Majesty" said the woman as she bowed to her.
The Queen smiled.
"Thank you for helping my child your majesty" said the woman.
Murajah smiled at the woman then looked at the little girl.
"Have fun child but remember to slow down when you go running that way you won't fall," said Murajah.
"I will and thank you" said Katina as she waved to Murajah, who waved back.
Before she continued her walk that's when she came across some kids ranging from 10 to 13 years of age.
Murajah walked over to them.
"What is wrong children?" she asked them.
Their heads shot up and were about to stand when Murajah held up her hand and shook her head but was smiling. They nodded and sat back down,
"Nothing's wrong Majesty" said a 10-year-old boy.
"Yes, we just get sad this time of year, said another boy.
"We miss the high lady and Pharaoh a lot they were such kind people," said a young 11-year-old girl.
"Even thou we were all very young, younger then we are now when they passed we have heard stories of their kindness from our parents" said a 13-year-old girl.
"Yes, and we remember you were happier back then" said a 10-year-old boy who noticed the pain on the queen's face.
Murajah smiled.
"I guess I was, but I also know the pharaoh and high Lady would not want us to be sad forever would they," asked Murajah.
The kids shook their heads.
Issa walked up to his queen.
"Sorry to interrupt majesty but the meeting starts in 20 minutes."
Murajah nodded.
"Well I must leave you but remember what I told you."
The kids nodded then bowed or curtsied, Murajah smiled turn and walked back to her guards.
They made their way back towards the palace
After walking through the gates and into the courtyard they continued into the palace.
"Where is the meeting taken place?" asked Murajah.
"Throne room Majesty" said Jafari
"Thank you Jafari you all may take your leave, however depending on how long the meeting goes I may go visit my husband's tomb again so please accompany me" said Murajah.
They bowed and left, with that Murajah made her way to the throne room
When the doors opened, Seto and Siamun along with the royal counsel turned their head at the sound of the doors opening, they immediately bowed as they saw their Queen walk into the room. After the doors closed behind her, Murajah walked the isle and up the steps to the platform, where the throne sat. She made her way over to the throne and sat down, she spotted Seto and smiled before turning to the rest of the council members,
"Meeting's now in session" said Murajah.
After 2 hours the meeting was over, afterwards Murajah got up and descended the platform steps.
"If anybody shall need me I am going to visit my husband I'll be back mostly after dark, so please have the kitchen staff ready my dinner once I return"
With that she then exited the room.
