Game of Shadows
Horus had finally made it into the palace that the kid pharaoh was living in. His goal, was to assassinate him successfully while making it look like he died of natural causes. But such things required time and patience. Things that Horus was excellent at having when it came to killing his victims. He would be spending the next few months studying the boy as close as he could get to him. Learn everything he could about him. His actions, his daily schedule, everything. Horus would need to know all of this before he could finally devise a way to kill the kid Pharaoh.
He climbed down from the roof and landed on one of the many slabs of granite that was above the hallway where the pharaoh was talking to his sister about the meeting that he had just gotten out of.
Carter, the young Pharaoh in question, glared as Sadie went on and on about how stupid Carter had been in the meeting, and how now no one would take him seriously now that they thought they could kill him easily. All the young king had said was that he didn't have a guard looking after him, but Sadie thought that had been stupid. Not only that but now she was demanding where people could hear that he pick a guard for himself.
"JUST STOP!" Cater snapped suddenly.
Horus blinked a few times as he heard the young king yelling at his sister.
"Carter what were you thinking. Even if you don't actually choose guards if you do so in front of people they will at least think that you are guarded twenty four seven. Why did you do that?!" She yelled, and Horus smirked.
The girl did have a point, if the guild he belonged to believed that the king was guarded heavily they would have been a bit more cautious. So why did the boy think that he didn't need to be guarded? Was he confident that he could handle an assassination attempt? He laid down listening to them with a small smile on his lips.
"Sadie I am a magician! I have magic and I'm good at it! If I'm guarded people will know of my powers and want to kill me all the more!" Carter yelled, and sat down on a marble bench right outside the council room. He looked tired and worn, much too old for a 16 year old boy.
Horus looked at the boy with wide eyes. This was something that he had not expected. He didn't think that the boy possessed magic. This was something he would have to account for when it came down to fighting him. He would have to know exactly what magic he possessed. There was plenty of different ways to test the boy out. But if he had magic then it wasn't that far fetched that his sister did as well. Horus would have to take care of her as well, perhaps have her moved to Memphis for some reason. He would think about that while he slept tonight after finishing his observations of the king for tonight.
Sadie came beside Carter on the bench and put her arm around her brother completely unaware of the man watching from the shadows.
"Carter, I know dad is gone but you need to step up and realize that you need to start acting like a king." Sadie said, and then got up and went to the double doors across the room.
Carter looked after his sister with sadness in his eyes, she didn't believe in hm. Carter then pushed his face into his hands and cried softly into his hands. He was all alone.
Horus looked at the king with a bit of pity, the poor boy was all alone and no one believed in him. Was it that easy? Could it be that simple that all Hours would have to do was push him off the edge of a building? He could easily stage the body to look like he jumped. No it was to early to make an attempt on his life. People would get suspicious if he just suddenly jumped out of a window. He'd have to wait a bit longer.
Patients Horus... Patients.
Perhaps there was a simpler solution to getting closer to the young king Horus thought to himself. He smiled quickly before he slipped back onto the roof and went to where the princess chambers were right after he changed his clothes.
Sadie walked into her bedroom after her fight with Carter and kicked the nearest piece of furniture across the room. She had never felt like a worse sister! How could she have said that to Carter and then just walked away. Honestly what was wrong with her! Although her brother just didn't understand, she was all alone now too. He wasn't the only one who was sad. Sadie ran a hand over her head and looked down at the grave dog she had named Anubis, and then hugged him after falling to her knees.
"What am I going to do?" She asked the dog.
There was a quick rapt at Sadie's door as Horus waited outside with the handmaid. He was wearing a guard's uniform and kilt along with assorted jewelry that one would wear.
"Your grace, a guest to see you..." The handmaid said slowly through the door.
Sadie jumped up and came out after smoothing out her white dress and whipping her eyes so that there was no trace of her moment of weakness. If Carter could not be strong then she would need to be. So Sadie went out the door and nodded at the servant.
"What is it? I was in the middle of serving your king." Sadie snapped, and then stopped short at the sight of the tall man in front of her.
Her cheeks burned as Sadie took in the man's warm skin and long braid, he wore a kilt of white and sandals that looked like they were made of gold. Around his neck was beautiful jewels and on his hip was a beautiful sword.
"I have come to help you my princess. I hear that the pharaoh does not have a guard, and I was hoping that you would allow me to fill in the position. I wish to protect the lord pharaoh with my life..." He said, strong and confidently.
Sadie blinked a few times before coming back to her little world where she was a royal and this beautiful man was looking for a job. It would have been nice if she had thought that before opening her her mouth.
"The job is yours." She said without thinking.
Horus blinked a few times at how easy it was to fool this little girl of 15. It couldn't be that simple, were they that desperate to have someone guard the pharaoh.
"When, when do I start my princess?" He asked.
Horus honestly did not think that it would be this easy. There must be a trap. But where? When, now?
Sadie shook her head and flushed brightly at her childish actions. She tucked a piece of golden hair behind her ear and gave her handmaid an apologetic look.
"Forgive me, I was caught off guard by your formidable stacher. I can not promise you the job without many tests to prove your worth, and your loyalty to your Pharaoh." Sadie said, nodding to herself.
Horus smiled at her his teeth perfectly white. His right eye brown and the other an ice blue.
"Of course my princess. I'll do whatever you ask of me. I'll do it and anything else to prove my loyalty." He assured her.
"My brother needs only the best, an extension of himself, and a man blessed by the gods. Betray him and I will kill you myself, and don't think for a moment that I couldn't do it." She hissed at him, but then smirked. "Tomorrow we will start looking for a guard, be at the throne room at dawn and I'll see what your worth is."
