Chapter 24

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

It was early one morning four days after their change they were met by the naga leader. Atemu glared at him with extreme hatred, causing the naga to just chuckle.

"Well I see you aren't broken yet. Don't worry you will happen soon enough."

"When I get out of these chains you are so dead." Akefia growled.

"By the time you get out of these chains you'll be so weak and broken that you won't have the will to kill me." All three growled in anger. "Oh I'll send someone up to feed you soon, don't you worry."

The leader left their cell and Atemu turned to the other two and nodded his head smirking. They counted down two minutes in their heads and then Atemu turned to Akefia and formed two black/purple balls and aimed them for the chains around his wrists. It exploded on impact and the chains around his wrists fell apart. Akefia got up, rather shakily since it was the first time actually standing up using his tail. Akefia for two balls and freed Atemu before turning to Mariku and freeing him.

They quickly practiced moving around before they followed Atemu out into the tunnels. They found their eyes adjusted really well and they could see quite clearly. Atemu saw what seemed to be the one that was going to feed them coming down the corridor. Akefia and Mariku acted quickly and covered her mouth and restrained her. She shook in fear as she stared at Atemu. She knew who these people were before the leaders of her people did what they did to them.

"Do you know the way to the surface?" She nodded behind the hand that kept her quiet. "Good. You will take us there if you want to live." She nodded again, not wanting to die. "You lead us astray, you die. Scream, you die. Understand?" She nodded again.

Akefia removed his hand from her mouth and she took in a shaky breath. Akefia turned her around and she started moving when he pushed her. After about 20min trip and constant ducking back to avoid detection they reached the entrance. All it was, was two statues, one on each side of the entrance. They looked like naga's and had staffs in their hands.

"May I go?" The female naga asked.

"Yes. You held up your end." Atemu said.

Akefia pushed her back towards the tunnels before following after Atemu and Mariku as they headed into the dessert.

It took them a day to reach the nearest village which was on the outskirts of Egypt and there was no one there. all they could find was the dead bodies of the old inhabitants. They found some shovels and started digging. As their Pharaoh, Atemu felt responsible for their deaths because they couldn't get the word out to evacuate to the kingdom quick enough or that this was one of the towns that was destroyed by the naga's before they realised what was happening. They worked into the night burying the dead and placing thins as headstones so the individuals could be found. After 5hours of digging they completed the task of burying the thirty villagers.

"Should we rest Atemu?" Akefia asked.

"I don't know. By now they know we escaped and they could very well send someone after us."

"I say we keep moving. We've been here for at least 5hours so they could have gained on us if they come in this direction." Mariku said.

"Alright we'll move on to the kingdom and let's move fast. We can rest when we are home."

They nodded in agreement and headed out towards the palace.

They travelled for five days resting at night for a few hours and pushing on during the day and as fast as they could possibly go. They noticed that they had a lot more endurance and strength now and could push themselves way past what they used to be able to do as humans.

But now they had reached the kingdom. There were tents set up around the kingdom signalling all the villagers who came to seek refuge by the palace. They moved their way through the tents, they could hear the people whispering to each other. As they got to the kingdom and to the palace there was a crowd of people behind them. The whispering was now to full on talking.

"Is that the pharaoh?"

"It can't be, the pharaoh is human not naga."

"But the two with him are his bodyguards."

It sounded a lot like that and along different lines as well. As they reached the palace walls they were met with heavy resistance.

"Stop you naga's are not welcome here."

"By who's orders?" Atemu challenged, because he never left such instructions."

"By Pharaoh Seth's orders."

Atemu saw red, he had been missing for less than 15days and suddenly he was replaced without so much as a search. Akefia and Mariku were shocked at how quickly a change of ruling could happen even if Atemu was dead.

"Let Me Pass." Atemu hissed.

"We are not allowed. You are no longer Pharaoh and you are now the enemy. I cannot and will not allow you to pass."

Atemu hissed and bowed his head and caught akefia's and Mariku's attention before all three leapt forward. Atemu took out his old head of security guard and then the two behind him. Akefia and Mariku took out another two each and then started into the palace. As Akefia and Mariku had trained almost every guard in the palace they had no trouble taking them down.

As they entered the palace they were met with little resistance. Any servants and slaves that saw them were stunned to see their old pharaoh. Atemu approached one of them causing her to shake in fear.

"Where is my cousin?"

"In the throne room."

Atemu left with Akefia and Mariku and headed towards the throne room. Once there they took out the two guards. Atemu was sure Seth and everyone could hear what was happening. Atemu approached the door and pushed them both open and entered with Akefia and Mariku on either side of him.

"Seth!"
