Ok, see here we are at teh grrreeat palace of egypt O: what will happen now? Well, I'll just cease from stalling and let you just read the story xD

They got to the Grand Entrance of the palace, to be greeted by the Pharaoh himself, and his wife. Surprisingly enough and to Mina's enlightment, their son wasn't there.

Once they got off their camels, the wife came and greeted them, "Oh, how nice it is to see you after such a long time. It seems so long since we last saw you three."

"Ah, well its nice to see you too." Mina's mother smiled. "And may I ask where is Atem?"

"Well, he is probably wandering off somewhere." The pharaoh spoke.

"Some future pharaoh," Mina muttered.

As if no one heard her, the continued their little conversation."Ok now, lets get all your belongings to the chamber each of you'll be staying in." the pharaoh's wife said.

A few slaves came and took everything from the camels, and awaited to be commanded of where to put them.

"Put the belongings of Mina next to bedroom that belongs to Atem,"Mina choked, "and continuing on down with the rooms and things starting with Nanami", she ordered and the slaves left.

I have to sleep next to his room,...damn it all...again.

They all went to see their chambers and such, minus the Pharaoh, because he had "Pharaoh-ly duties". Just as the queen decided to create "small talk".

"So how old is Mina?"

"She is 17, your highness" her mother said.

"There is no need for formalities," she chuckled " no one is around, and Mina is a year younger than Atem, what are the chances of that. Oh I see wedding flower pedals!"

Yeah, right. When the Nile dries up.

"If no one mind, I will depart will be going to my..uh chambers." Mina stuttered. "I am quite exhausted from my trip"

"Oh dear, you three must be famished" the queen said.

"Not exactly famished, I just need to rest for a while" as she walked off.

"Mina, wait" her mother called out to her. "Take this bracelet, it is really a bother"

"Er..alright" and she took it and tucked it in her belt, that surrounds her dress.

"Take it to your room, and keep it in a safe place."

"Sure thing."

She got to her destination, and saw to the other door, Ay...that's his room. And she entered her's. It seemed ... comforting. There was a covered canopy bed with red cloths, and there were pillars that had paint on swirling around the it. And the vases were so beautiful, with all its-

-Clink-

What was that?

She turned around to see that there was a girl in mid-air aiming for her. Mina quickly moved out of the way, as the brown haired girl hit the floor with a thud.

"Who in Ra's name are you?" Mina asked curiously.

"Hi! I am Mana!" she said energetically as she got up, "Ow, and who are you?"

"My name is.. Mina" she said with a weird expression on her face. "Um, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I thought this was Atem's room" Mana said while straightening out her the bottom of her dress. "I really apologize for that."

"Do not worry about it," she smiled.

"Oh, since Atem is apparently not here,"Mana smiled. "or anywhere near, want to go for walk around the palace? You must be one of the guests staying here"

"Er, sure why not? I have nothing else to do"

They both walked out to the palace gardens, it was far larger than the one back at home. There were flowers even Mina hadn't seen.

"So what where you doing in my room anyway?" Mina asked.

"As I said, I thought it was Atem's room, and I was trying to play a trick on him" she said energetically, as always.

"Like what scare him to-" She was cut off.

"Oh me, oh my. What have we here?" Mina turned around, only to see, no the prince, but the preist of the palace.

"Oh, hi. Nice to see you again." Mina said with much sarcasm.

"Haha, charmed." Seth said. "I heard you are staying here for quite a while."

"Unfortunately...yes."

"Hey Seth! Have you seen Atem?" Mana asked eagerly.

"Yes, he is coming, right now," he pointed at the figure walking from inside the palace.

Well, the rumors where true, she is here, he thought.
