The Ceremony held place in the dull candle lit temple.. all dressed in black morning the memory of their beloved late Queen, nothing but depression and anger filled the Young Prince's heart as he watched The people come and go, some payed their respects, others cried their hearts out wishing, others prayed.. no one knows how he feels inside..

The People of Egypt came from all its lands on this exact day to thank the Queen for her sacrifice and pray for her lost soul.. they all shared the same Gratitude.. but one!

Atem watches his father say a small prayer, light a candle, and speaks softly to his Officials.. then greets his high ranked guests just like any other day.. as if she wasn't his wife.. as if he doesn't care anymore, not a single tear he shed or maybe he doesn't remember her at all.. back to following formalities.. only making Atem even more angry of his father's ignorance of his feelings and deep wound still open inside his heart..

he only grind his teeth and clutches his hand in anger unable to do anything about it.. he stare directly into the statue of his mother's face that he barely remembers wondering if this is how she actually looked like.. anger building up fast inside of him as people spread and walk past him as if he was a shadow.. sending their meaningless condolences..

But he manage to keep a straight face and keep it all in.. he knows he must..

-After the ceremony..

Etmu Enters the Light Goddess's temple amazed by the clean white floors of the over decorated building, the temple is held together with two huge Figures of her Majesty one in her royal light gowns, one hand on her heart and the other is stretched out to those in need, the other is in her Kyoshi armor, Fierce sharp eyes.. her Fan open in her right arm..

Its always been Etmu dream to visit Her godmother/mentor tomb and temple to pay her respects and learn as much as she could..

She lays her eyes on another much smaller figure of her in the middle of the temple where visitors are allowed to sit and pray..

Atem stands infront of that figure.. neither praying nor looking at it.. He stands there with so much to say but not a word comes out..

She sits her knees next to him joining hands to start praying.. He wipes a stray tear off his face as soon as he is aware of her presence..

"You Kyoshies Worship her.. don't you? How pathetic!!"

He never looks her yanking his head the other way trying so hard not to cry..

"She doesn't deserve worshipping.. by you or anyone for that matter.. She gave up.. she let go.. she is WEAK !! WORTHLESS!!.. doesn't deserve this temple!! Or ANYTHING the people offer her!!!!"

He flips out.. his angry voice echos in the Empty temple..

"Your majesty.. Stop Now!"

Etmu answers calmly, her hands still joined in place not moving a muscle, her eyes closed.. only to angry the Young man further.. unleashing his fury..

"SHE LEFT!! SHE IS A COWARD.. RAN AWAY LIKE THE LOW LIFE SHE IS!! SHE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT ANYONE..THOSE WHO NEED HER!!..." he sobs loudly finally ridding his body of this tension..

"And father.. he acts like nothing happened.. like its no one fault!!.. such lies, such secrets.. I can't take this anymore!! I can not keep pretending like everything is perfect and I am dying inside!!"

Etmu's warning come to place as she opens her fan aiming it at the neck of the now hardly weeping young man exposing his weakness and dispare..

"She didn't care.. she didn't think of me..what would happen to me.. my wedding is in weeks.. and she is no where to be found.. I have no where to turn to.. her and her stupid Kyoshies and worthless powers.. that is all she cared about, she chose them over me.. she wasn't strong enough she never was!! She couldn't save her own self from obvious death.. she let go as soon as she could..!"

Years of harsh, cruel training and very high expectations expected of him he fears he can't achieve, lack of care, lack of a mother's love and care.. watching another mother leave his side.. feelings kept in and locked away deep in his heart now unleash.. you don't watch a man weep his heart out everyday.. this is his limit

On his knees.. Years of Mixed feeling miss understood, knowing nothing, kept in the dark come to his heart breaking it into thousand pieces..

All prevail to a young girl worshiping her mentor.. slowly falling for him.. she can only imagine what he went through.. His inexperienced father's parenting skills.. his uncle's anger.. all in there..

She draws her fan closer to his neck making him raise his head..

"Just today I know exactly why she is dead.. she died before she sees her own son whom she brought to this world in her own body, the next Pharaoh of all mighty Egypt.. on his knees crying like a helpless child cursing his mother for leaving him..

You don't know what its like to be a woman in this society!

You don't know what it means for a mother to leave her only child behind!

You don't know the type of pain she felt!! And you will never know, because you were ignorant enough to think she choose to leave you willingly.. and it wasn't her only choice!!!"

Her own tears of petty and anger start streaming down her face..

"I should kill you Now, erasing your disgrace and dishonor! Cease your worthless existence!!

No!! I should have killed you before your mouth uttered a word of this nonsense!!"

She stares at his teary, tired eyes with fiery ones, full of fury, disbelief and disgust..

He is unable to hide his weakness any more, he cannot stay strong and held together forever.. she knew he had to release this out.. but he also had to be reminded of who he is!! Why he was here! What he should be doing! There is no place or time for doubting himself!

"On... your.. feet!!!" She grins her words out watching him stand slowly to his feet with his head down in shame

"This is the first and last time I will witness this.. and No one shall ever do!! Do you understand?!.."

She grabs him be his clothes making him only nod in shame still eyes fixed to the ground.. shaking from his previous sobs..

She throwing him off walking out of the temple as fast as she could..

Atem gets on his Horse right out side of the temple shortly after Etmu left.. and rides off in anger, embarrassment and despair into the city outskirts in the middle of darkness.. his eyes still teary making it hard for him to see clearly but continues running anyways.. the horse suddenly stops infront of some runes refusing to take any step closer no mater how Atem ordered it..

He suddenly feels time stop.. his whole body goes numb and acts on its own.. his heart beat is so slow.. he can feel his eyes shut as it gets harder and harder to breath.. he can hear his own slow breath, very tired, sleepy unaware of his surroundings.. This sound.. it keeps calling to him.. and he is compelled to follow it.. unwillingly his body walks towards the runes, walking inside what seems to be previously a Village..

He looks around to see signs of fire was set here many years ago.. buildings destroyed.. skulls and bones everywhere..

Did Anubis release some sort of a death curse here?.. cold chills run down his body making him go weaker.. he can't help but feel the presence of many souls but yet no one in sight.. his knees can barely hold him up, he soon falls after a fight with his own conscious..

A strange figure stands infront of him looking down at him.. too weak to open his eyes and look at it or try to figure out what or who this stranger is..

"To your Origins you shall return.. You all do!"

The figure holds Atem face in his hands looking into his half closed eyes as his body begins to completely give up..

- "Your majesty!!!" The Prince's Officials Who went after his fury ride, when he was late after the ceremony, call to him from out side the village getting ready to break in, however a Protective Dark magic shield was formed the moment Atem got in blocking Entry and Exit.. The Stranger looks over to The Officials who spot him holding the prince's limp body..

"Mahad!! Get us in, NOW!!" Seth orders the magician who was already at work breaking the shield... as the others bang the shield from every direction trying to find a weak spot..

"This is the strongest Dark Magic shield I have ever encountered.. This is not a normal magic doing!! I will need some more time.." Mahad speaks in his controlled self, focused at the task in hand self..

"That Magician is an obstacle.. but Nothing I can't Handle... We will meet again Prince, all in due time.." the Figure speaks one more time in evil giggles knowing the prince can't hear him before disappearing into the shadows right before the shield is broken and the Officials run towards their now unconscious Friend..

"He is unconscious..We need to get him to The palace for Medical attention !!" Shady yells at Seth who stands searching for the mysterious figure that caused all of this..

"Now Seth!!" Shady yells again now on his horse with Atem behind him..

Medics run around with equipments, Officials stand helpless waiting to report to The Pharaoh who arrives in great concern..

"Your majesty, We found him at some city runes unconscious with only his horse.." Seth explains calmly to the Pharaoh

"His temperature is very high!! Get cold water now!" One of the medics orders another in hurry

"Runes you said?? In which direction?" The Pharaoh asks unable to hide his worry

"I think it was to the North west of the palace your majesty.." Seth continues but puzzled by his question.. how could this be his first concern..

"Gentlemen.. out of these chamber now!"

Aknaden walks in to see the terrified look on his brother's face..

"To the north west he said Aknaden.. Could he have known anything?" He looks his brother's eyes holding both of his shoulders..

"Don't jump to conclusion with out proof brother.. your son Is feverish and hallucinating.. This day was never easy on him since he was 4.. it won't change in his 20s.."

He tried to hide the obvious from his brother hoping he would believe..

"He will be fine your majesty, we will be able report his state further when he wakes up.. for now he resets.." one of the medics assure them both just in time.. making them both sigh in relief..

"I will inform the officials.. don't fear brother he is a strong young man"

Aknaden pats his brother shoulder walking out, Akmankanen takes a chair placing it next to the bed where his son lies asleep his body sweaty and grinning in his sleep.. Akmankanen rests a hand on his son's forehead as a tear falls down his face..

"What have I done?"

- In Atem's Dream

Fire.. everywhere, surrounds everyone and everything.. bodies set on fire all around.. falling buildings land on people crushing their skulls.. the sound of swards and spears fights can be heard from the distance.. but covered by the voices of shouting women and crying children..

Blood is shed all over the sand and walls forming running rivers all headed in the same direction..

Atem stands a shadow in the middle of all of this watching in horror, unseen, unheard!

"What is this? Why are you doing this?!" He yells for no one to hear him..

Men in uniforms run towards villages slaughtering each and everyone of them splashing blood all over Atem's face and hands! Making him gasp and cringe to the feeling of the warm liquid on his body..

"Palace guards?! Why on earth would bring them here!!"

He watch the guards kill all the men, women and children and steal whatever very little they had.. slaughtering the whole village..

Suddenly they all stop in place with out a single breath heard through all the village, stone cold eyes and emotionless faces, they are controlled by something.. rather.. someone and it's quite strong, disturbing.. they start falling back in perfect order after the deed like the puppets they are..

Atem watches in absolute disbelief, a massacre, a mass murder.. someone wants him to see this..

The figure appears again not paying a single piece of attention to him.. but his eyes fixates on a small table in a dirty bar about to burn down.. a small boy with a bloody wounded face mixed with tears all over his face shakes violently and awaits the voices out side to silent down.. he runs from under the table im absolute fear into an underground cave.. the figure's eyes only follow him sadly..

However Atem does, be runs after the boy hoping not knowing what to expect, but the kid hides again behind a tall column in that cave of what seems to be a temple..

They watch 6 men chanting prayers on some tablet in the middle of the temple and pouring liquid gold mixed with the previous blood river into the tablet..

A very strong gold light beam emit from the tablet as the men finish their last loud chant, Making Atem clutch his eyes shut shielding them from the light.. only to jump up awake..
