As we left off, Seth was pacing up and down his room. Stressing, being a pharaoh, in love and responsible of many lives, wasn't exactly a walk in the park. He knew how he felt, he just didn't know how to express his emotions. Seth was 100% sure that he had to tell her, otherwise depression was going to devour him in the end.

"How can I tell her…" Seth thought aloud.

"Tell who what?" A young girl said making her way into the pharaohs chambers.

'Mana' Seth thought, annoyance taking over his emotions. It's not like he hated the girl or anything, no, she was his childhood crush. After a while Seth realised that she had a crush on Atem, he hated to admit it, but he couldn't really compete with that, he was future pharaoh for Ra's sake!

"What is it Mana? Why are you in my room." Seth asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I was bored, and I think you need a little more companionship as of late…Actually, as of ever." Mana said with that playful smile of hers.

"I'm perfectly content on my own, Mana, absolutely ecstatic." Seth breathed out sarcastically.

"Really, you seem depressed, distracted even. You can talk to me about it… pharaoh." She said the last sentence with a chuckle.

She went over to his bed and plopped herself down on it and patted the space next to her , signalling for him to come and sit by her.

Strangely enough Seth actually hesitated, he'd been feeling 'bottled up' and it was getting to him. Sometimes he'd even resort to talking to his horse, Akil, Seth did care for the horse since it was his favourite. Akil meant intelligent, which was true. He had escaped many battles unscathed.

Seth had two options, he could accept Mana's offer and get humiliated, but could get some good advice off of her since she seemed to be quite good with relationships and advice. Or he could decline the offer and not get a chance like this again and be just as mindless and confused as before.

'Well I guess it's worth a shot, even if a long one.' Seth thought to himself.

"Fine Mana , if it will really make you happy." Seth said with a sigh.

Pleasantly surprised by his acceptance, Mana moved further up the grand bed to allow the superior male more room.

"It makes me very happy, for a person like you to open up to me." She smiled a sweet smile, like a five year old giving her mother flowers.

Seth went over to her and sat to her right.

"Ok, Seth, what's wrong. Why are you so distant, and I mean, more than usual."

'You got yourself into this, have to take responsibility for my actions' Seth thought as sweat was quickly accumulating on his hands, Seth was never good at telling personal information. Let alone his love life!

"Well, you know the girl that I brought to the palace before all went to hell? The one that saved my life, Kisara." Seth asked the young priestess with a rock hard expression.

"Ok, first of all, be a little more open with your emotions. We're never going to get anywhere like this. Second of all, yes I do know her, she's my new best friend!" Mana squealed excitedly.

"Really, since when?" Seth asked, giving her a quizzical look, obeying her order to be a 'little' more open.

"Well, after Atem and Mahado died… I was quite lonely. She seemed to be lonely too, so I went to talk to her. She may be older than me but we actually get along really well." Mana's eyes shone at the thought of her new best friend.

"So, you get on fine with her?"

"absolutely, she's extremely timid at first, but very impulsive too. She loves to sing and her hair is just amazing. She lets me put it into all kinds of crazy styles. Strange, thing is that nothing makes her look bad."

"How well does she sing." Said Seth, getting absorbed in the conversation. Thinking Mana could actually be of help to him, not that he didn't think that before.

"Very well, the first time I heard her I was in the room next door to hers and I was eavesdropping to hear what the sound was. It sounded too good to be human, so I went to check if my ears were deceiving me. It turned out Kisara was singing a song that she was just making up as she went along! In my opinion, that's a near impossible task."

"So, what does Kisara have to do with your problem." She thought for a second, then an expression of fear and despair crossed her features."Your not going to make her leave are you, Please, Seth I beg of you don-"

"NO!" Seth said, rejecting the thought of Kisara leaving completely.

He calmed down a little and continued to say: "Ok, I'll tell you what's wrong now. But you have to swear to Ra and on your very life that you won't tell anyone." Seth said in a firm whisper.

" I promise." Mana said solemnly, regardless of what this secret was she was going to hold onto it.

Believing her Seth went on to the most important topic of this discussion: Seth's 'problem'.

The pharaoh exhaled, slouching slightly, trying to relax his anxiety.

"Here goes nothing, I may have. . . Feeling for someone."

"so, what does this have to do with Kisara." Before Seth could answer, a look of realisation and shock glued to her face. She stared at him blankly, then startled him with a hyper squeal. "Oh my, you're In love with Kisara! You've got to tell he!" She said grinning ear to ear.

"Mana, don't you understand, I don't know what to do or how to do it." Seth said, Shame dripping from his voice.

Mana became thoughtful "well, I'm here to help you. I'll do anything in my power to help you." She smiled sympathetically at her friend's confusion.

"Thank you, Mana." He said, one of his rare smiles flitted across his face.

"You're welcome." She returned, glad to be of assistance.

"We should get started, you know." Mana said, after a minute's blissful silence.

"Get started on what?" Seth asked, looking at the girl, confused.

"On getting you your girl."

"But, Mana, she's not mine. . . At least not yet." He said as if it were an oath.

"Exactly, and that's what we're going to fix." Mana said, getting up and taking his hand pulling him up with her.

She was walking so fast that Seth's headdress nearly fell off of it's place and onto the floor.

"Wait, where are we going." Seth asked.

"To the courtyard, that's where Kisara is."

"But I'm not ready, I don't know what to say!" Seth panicked.

"Don't worry. I'll give you the run down on everything once we're outside of the building."

(Do you think Seth is ready to admit his feelings to Kisara, find out in the next chapter which should hopefully be up tomorrow!)
