Mystery Girl with the Pharaoh Chapter 4
As the morning began, you started to think about the events of the night before. You kept your eyes closed to relax even more. Then you fell asleep and had a nightmare of when you first met Ganondorf. It was when he aimed at Atem. You bolted for the way except you fell off the bed. You opened your eyes to find that you were on your stomach."Ow, that hurt," you said trying to control your voice. You felt an overwelming saddness in Atem's mind. He must have heard you because the saddness tried to get up but your back hurted so when hecame in you were stuggling to get up.
"Zelda, what happened," was all he could ask. You tried to get up but again and you fell back down. Atem put his hands on your stomach to keep you from falling but you still went on the ground."Atem, my back hurts. I can't get up," was all you could get out. He lifted the top of you gown so only your back was showing. "Zelda," he said horrorfied,"your back is all brused. How did this happen?" "When Ganondorf grabbed me by the neck. I summoned theWinged dragon of Ra and when it Ganon, he threw me into a wall." he puts your shirt down and you try to get up again. When your body was high enough, he places his hand on your stomach and your arm over his neck. He pulls you up and you put most of your weight on your left hand started to glow. The pain started to fade and you were able to hold your own weight.
"What's going on? What's happening," was all he could say. He touched your back by mistake and he flinched. It didn't hurt. He takes another look at your back and the bruse was gone and your hand stopped glowing. You stood on your own just as confused. That saddness that was in Atem's mind came back. He went and sat on the bed. "What's wrong," you asked. He said, "This morning, my father... didn't awaken. He is gone." He put his face in his hands and started to cry. You walked over to him and sat by his side. You put your arm around his sholders and he leans into he moves again he said, "Egypt needs a king and I am my father's only heir. I must assume the throne." "I will stand by your side for as long as you want me to." "Thank you. The festival of the kings is tomarrow night and they are taking my father to the valley of the kings where his tomb lies."
You gave him a hug and stayed by his side. When the sarcophgous was put in beyond the traps, they came out. Atem did not like this but he knew he had no power at this moment, later that night six people came in and said, "Prince, we are sorry for your , the guardians of the Pharaoh, will protect and serve you. Zelda, we must test your sword skills to protect yourself and if we can't protect him, you could." "What? We protect each other that is how," you didn't finish before another guardian interuped. "The leader of that village you two were in told us about the prince's fever. He also told us about how you protected him when the leader confronted the man that was shairing his house with you. Even he felt threatened but when he seen who you were protecting he understood."
The next morning came around and you were still thinking about what the guardians said. You woke up before Atem and got yourself a light blue skirt that went to the top of your knees. You also got a light blue shirt to go with it. As you werewalking out the door, you felt bad about leaving him like you were about to so you laid beside him. He seemed to have a nightmare because he was moaning. Those moans turned to him saying "No!" You got worried and grabbed him by his sholders and started to say his name along with shaking him.
"Atem wake up. Please wake up," you said over and over again. Finaly he woke up. He started to sit up but your hands kept him down. His breathing heavy but started to slow down once he relized it was a dream. "Are you ok," you asked with a hint of relief in your voice. "Yes. Just a bad dream." "Do you want to talk about it?" "No. I will be fine, just need to relax a bit." You started to moan, talk then shout. The only thing you said was no over and over again." You noticed that he was sweaty so you went to the bathroom and grabbed a cloth.
You tossed it at Atem and he knew what it was for. All he could say was, "Am i really that bad?" You nodded with a smile. He used the cloth and a guard came in. "Pharaoh, are you ok," asked the guard. "Yes. Sorry to alarm everyone. Just a bad dream." the guard left and a man wearing a ring with spikes around his neck came in. "Pharaoh, is everything well?" "Yes, Mahad everything is fine. I don't think the two of you have been properly introduced. Mahad this is Zelda and Zelda this is Mahad one of our most stongest magicains." You look at the mysterious ring and wonder what it is.
"It is called the Millennium Ring," said Mahad."Oh,what can it do," you asked. "I am not sure how to explain it. I guess I could sense criminal activity." You let Atem get dressed and once he got done two royal guardians came in and one of them said, "Zelda, what is the hold up?" "Opps, sorry I forgot about that. Just as I was leaving the new Pharaoh need my help," you reply and it was true because that was the time he started the nightmare.
"Well better late then never. Shall we begin? Pharaoh you are welcome to watch," said the other. He nodded and you felt the curiosity and fear in his mind. Curiosity to see how well you hold your own and fear if you get hurt in the process. Once in the training yard you saw Atem sit up on an upper level in a throne like chair. Atem yells out, "Seto be careful, she may still be weak from the battle two days ago!" "Yes Pharaoh," was all that Seto said. A guard came and gave Seto a sword and tried to give you one but you refused. You turned into your warrior form and the fight began.
Once your sword was removed from its sheath you took the shield and handed it to a guard. Seto charged you and you put your sword in front of you the other sword to block the attack. The fight went on for ten minutes before you got Seto on his knees with your sword at the back of his neck. When you removed it he got up and said, "Very good Zelda. You must have been a swordswoman sometime in your past. You did extreamly well. You may rest."
You into the room and changed back to normal. Instead of wobbling like you did the last time you were stronger this time. Atem came running up to you saying, "That was amazing though I was nearly jumping out of my seat when he almost had you down." You were breathing hard the day was long and hot. "Hey Atem, is there a foution I could soak my hair in," you asked wanting to cool off from the training session. "Yes follow me," he replied. You followed him and there was a small foution with water flowing into it. Not wanting to get your clothes wet you put only your head and held the rest back. Once your head was wet you took the cloth that Atem gave you to dry it enough to where it won't drip. Atem thought, Why don't you change into a wolf and shake it off? You satrted to laugh but all that fur would make you even hotter. So you replied, No because that would make me even hotter. Plus I wouldin't be able to do this. You got the tip ofyour hair wet and hit him across the face but not hard enough to hurt him."Hey, thats not fair," shouted Atem, "but that feels good." The both of you started to laugh, then Mahad walked in and said, "What is so funny?" Once Atem told him what you did, he didn't seem pleased with your little joke.
"Zelda," he started, "you can't treat him like a normal preson..." "Don't worry about it Mahad," interupting Atem, "I allow it. It feels good to be treated like a normal person. At least from one person. She ment no ill will by it." Something popped into your mind. No one realy knew about the the wolf that Atem rode and the royal guardians need to be informed about it so they wouldn't attack you. Atem heard it from your mind and nodded in agreement. "Mahad, Zelda and I have something to show you," said Atem. The both of him follow you into an empty room and you went to the the center of the room and faced Mahad. "Remember the wolf that Atem was riding during that battle," you asked Mahad. "Yes, I was worried about it then it disappeared." "Well it did not disappear like you thought. Atem explain for a while." After you said that you transformed into a wolf and during the process scaring Mahad. "When we disappeared," started Atem, "She awoke in a sack because they knocked her out to get me to stop fighting. It worked, long enough for them to to put me in a sack and gag me. When she came to we had a mental link. Then I sensed her pain and heard a ripping sound. Thats when I fell on the ground and she turned into a wolf. The people did not know what to make of her so she took the the chance to grab me and ran for it.
"She stopped in a shady spot and turned back noticing there was no harm to her clothes. She opened the sack and untied me. We waited for nightfall and I was getting then she was. She found out I was running a fever so she transformed into a wolf yet again to get me to the nearest village." As Atem was telling the story, he sat near you and you laid your head in his lap, he was playing with your fur to keep your hands busy. When Mahad was able to speak again, he said, "So that is how everything happened. What happened at the village?" Mahad seemed interested in the story. Atem frowned, "By the time she got to the village, I was unconsious for two days afterwords only to wake up in her arms." You transformed back under his arm and you said, "I never left his side. I was protecting him from everyone else besides the man that was helping him. The others who go too close to him I scared them off." You leaned into him and he puts his chin on your head. It was obvious he felt the sameabout you as you did for him. You close your eyes for a while. Mahad said, "That explains the village leader's fear of you Zelda." you heard a stange sound that no one seems to notice. You jerked up and went to a corner by the door way and hid there.
A man that was not part of the servents of the previous Pharaoh, even Mahad tensed up. He put Atem behind him and you silently transformed into a wolf. "Pharaoh, hiding behind your servents already? How sad," said the man. You were getting mad, the man is upset because Atem was being protected. You calmed yourself and prepaired to spring. Mahad gave you a signal that only you could see. You jumped and the man turned around just in time for you to go for the neck. The man went to the ground and you were biting his neck only to scare him. "Zelda, he is down. Let go, we have him from here," saidMahad and once he said this the guardians came in. Once two had the man by the arms you let go and the rest except Mahad tackled you. You went down without a fight not wanting to hurt them.
"Wait," shouted Atem, "let her go!" "Why, she is a danger to you! And you want us to let her go?" "Trust me." They let you go and you went to Atem's side. The guardians tensed up and to show you mean no harm, you put your snout in Atem's hand. He looked at you and thought, What are you doing? You replied back, Showing I mean you no harm. Just pet me. So he does and did not look nervous but why should he be.
"Fellow guardians, don't be alarmed by the wolf. She is is how she got she got him to the village leader. Please let her show you,"said Mahad. You transformed back into a human and you had to have help Atem help you up. "Our appologies young Zelda. We misunderstood." "No, worries. I would have made the same mistake." "Are you ok," asked Atem."Yeah, I'll be fine. That hurted a little more than it should have."
After the explaination, they said the festival was going to start. When Atem went from the balconey across the throne to the throne and it was when he sat in the throne the festival began. You went up to the throne and bowed to pay respect to a new ruler. He nods and you walk to his side. As Atem was watching the festival you were standing a little behind the throne and one of the guardians, a woman, shouted, "Mahad, quick!" As soon as you look to the side, a man shoots something at Atem! Mahad uses his cape to stop the item and Seto ordered the guards to capture the man.
Atem sensed your fear and came over and gave you a hug. You put your face in your hands and you hands in his chest. "Are you ok, Zelda,"was his first quistion. You take your face out of your hands but kept your hands on his chest. "Yes," you replied, "But that scared me. I thought he was going to hurt you when I was so close to you." "Zelda, I am fine, Isis seen it coming. That is what they use the Millennium Items for. The protection of the Pharaoh." One of the guardians came in and seen Atem hugging you. "Pharaoh, are you well," he asked."Yes, Aknadin. We are fine. She is just shaken up." "Ok," said Aknadin, "Come out when you are ready." "Are you ready," asked Atem. "Yeah," you replied, "Just not used to feel defenceless." He hugs you even tighter and the hug seems to calm you. He let go and the both of you went back to the throne. "Bring this rat before the Pharaoh," shouted Seto. Isis said, "Trying to kill the king of Egypt is an unforgivable crime."
Seto said to the other guardians, "I have an idea. Lets show the Pharaoh our full power. Do you agree master Aknadin, master Shimon?" They both nodded. So when they were using the Millennium Items to bring the monster out of this man's heart they seal it in a stone tablet.
As the party stated to continue Isis said that darkness was approching. A couple minutes Mahad's ring started to activate. Just then a guard was sent in but he fell before he could get the message out. A man came in and Atem tensed along with every one in the thought, Atem, who is this and why does everyone tense up when he came in? His only reply was, That's Bakura, he is a well known thief around the kingdom.
When he came closer you were able to sense the evil that he has done. You started to lose your balence. Atem seemed to notice so he got up and held you up. "What's wrong," asked Atem. "Yes, I could sense the evil in that man's heart, I just need to get used to it." He nods and Bakura started to speak. "Pharaoh, I think you know what I came here to obtain." Atem tensed even more then you knew what he ment. "Unfortunatly we won't give to them. They don't belong to you anyway." "What makes you belive they belong to you? They belong in the village of Kal-Elna, underneath the sands of that village there is a stone called the Millennium Stone. Where all seven Millennium Items fit snuggly insidein each part destined for it." "You will not get them." "Well it looks I will have to take them by force. Diabound, come forth!"
A large monster came out of this man's heart that seemed to be part man, part snake. With that all the guardians summoned their monsters for a defencive line. You were about to fight when Mahad seen you. "Zelda, not yet when we are unable to fight then jump in," said Mahad. You nodded once and you knew exactly why he was having you do this. You were the strongest fighter so in case they could not beat him,you could. So their fight began and within 20 minutes they were up against the wall from the last attack of Bakura's Diabound. You could not stand to see much more of it and transformed into your warrior form.
Atem grabbed your arm and said, "Wait, if my guardians are not strong enough then you could get as hurt just as badly. I will not stand..." "I will be fine. They are getting hurt and you are in danger. That is all I need to know." He let go and up against Bakura. "So the new Pharaoh is sending a single woman to protect him." You smiled thinking that he will underestimate you that will give you the advantage. One of the guardians gave you a DiaDhank saying it would summon a monster.
The snake part of him came at you and you jumped higher than the beast's head. Once over the beast's head you did a summersalt but along the way, you sliced the creature's attack only left a scrach on his head. "What's this," was all you could ask. Then Bakura shouted, "Diabound, healical shockwave!" Once he said this, an invisable wave hit your stomach and forced you into the wall near the the attack was powerful you got right away and went back to the got and arrow of light and shot it in the arrow had little effect but the light had major effect. "How can one woman have so much power," said Bakura, "Diabound, poision fang strike!" You used that protection spell that you used on Atem on yourself. The strike hit your shield and had no effect on you.
As the attack ended so did the spell. One more shockwave and you went up against the wall yet again. Though you had no strength left it seemed to come back to you. So you got back up and said, "Legendary gods of Egypt, please hear my call. Help me protect the Pharaoh!" A golden light hit you but it didnot hurt. In one of the spaces appeared a monster and that's when you shouted, "I summon Obelisk the Tormentor!" Bakura sounded as shocked as everyone in the when this monster started to shape.
"This can't be happening," Bakura shouted. You shouted, "Obelisk, fist of fury!" It hit Bakura's Diabound in the stomach, sending it into a wall. It went back to Bakura and Obelisk went back to you. "This isn't over Pharaoh," said Bakura and he ran out of the palace. "Stop," shouted Atem. He ran to the balconey and when you got there Bakura was gone. "Zelda, you did great," said Atem. Aknadin said, "Zelda, you fought bravely. Even for one day's training. And to summon a high level monster when you were low on energy." "I'm not sure how that happened but I was extreamly low on energy then I was filled of it." Just then you lose your balance and fall. You could not keep your eyes open but you were aware of every thing around you.
"Is she ok," some one shouted that question, you could tell it was Atem. "She is fine. She is just exhausted. She single handedly defeated Bakura," said Mahad. Zelda, thought Atem, Is there anything else that is hurt? You replied, No not that I know of. I am just exhausted. Is everyone safe now? He replied, Yes, they are fine. Get some rest, you deserve it. After that you slow fell asleep hoping to get some energy out of it. The last thing you remember is someone picking you up but not being put down.
