Yu-Gi-Oh! 5
It's the next day and I am cleaning up the living room when the door opens and see head my stepfather carrying more fabric bolts than usual "damnit Ebio help me" he grumbles as I run up to him and grab half of the fabric bolts, however he gives all of it to me. I look at him and ask, "Are these for new dressed for the balls?" I say to him "of course" he answers rudely towards me like I am stupid. Someone immediately knocks on the door "Ebio get the door" orders Anit in a horrible temper. I walk up to the door and open to see a messenger from the palace. "Good evening I am to inform everyone that the balls will have extra security and invitations will be needed in order to enter," pronounces the messenger as he bows and leaves. I close the door "Ebio what did you do with those invitations?" proded my stepfather as he looks at me. I immediately head to the cabinet that is adjacent to the shelves on the left wall of the house and open the drawer to reveal the invitations.
The twins look at me "Ebio are the dresses ready yet?" they question me in their usual demanding voice. I bow my head "I have not I'm going to start them right now" I answer back "well get a move on. We have to look spectacular or else that wench will get the eyes of Pharaoh Atemu and Priest Seth" they both speak out "yes" is all I could reply back and head off to sew their dresses.
It is the next evening and I completed the first set of dresses for the twins. After I do some minor touches I head to their bedroom door and knock "that better be you Ebio with our dresses" Anit states angrily as she opens the door and clicks her tongue "about time" she grumbles as she heads towards her sister "hurry up" Hatshepsut orders as I quickly help them get ready for the evening. They start to compare themselves to each other as usual; with out a shred of gratitude they sit down at their vanity tables and wait for me to add their make-up. I put on their make-up, do their hair and put on their shoes and head downstairs once I'm finished. I then head downstairs to head to the desk and hand them their invitations "there is another ball tomorrow evening, so start making new dresses" the twins mandate as they grab their cloaks. I nod my head and sigh as they leave the house leaving me alone, "I wish I can go to the ball," I say to myself as I lie down on a sofa and fell asleep.
I wake up to feel someone brushing my bangs out of my face. I look up to see the same old woman from the market place and smiles gently at me. I look at her with a confused face "don't be frightened young one, I'm here to help you like Bastet" she cheerfully speaks as a bright golden light engulfs her body to reveal a woman with extremely long raven black hair and beautiful golden eyes. She has a large crown that looks like horns and a large circular stone embedded in the center, placed on her head. She is also wearing a two-piece white outfit, the top is strapless and the skirt drapes all the way to the floor. There are large white wings coming out from her back, I kneel down as low as possible "Goddess Isis, please forgive my behavior" I stammer. She laughs, which sound like bells "my child don't kneel, I knew your mother when she was a young woman" she smiles as she helps me up. "All the Gods and Goddess loved your mother, everyone of us except for Bastet and myself have repaid her kindness" Isis enunciates as she smiles.
She looks at me "we have to get you ready for the ball" she says giggling. I give her a socked look "Lady Isis I have to make my step-sisters dresses…." I reply to her when she covers my mouth with a finger. "Now silence young one," she says as she waves her hand emitting golden dust surrounding me. I look at my outfit that turns from rags to a gorgeous lilac strapless dress with silver embroidery, silver belt, shoes, my hair up with accessories and make-up. I twirl and smile "hurry hurry, before the ball finishes" she urges and uses her magic to transport the both of us outside. I look in front of me to see a large silver carriage being pulled by two large white horses. The driver gets down from the drivers seat and opens the door for me; he then helps me inside and closes the door. Isis walks up to the window and smiles at me, she then cups my cheek and smiles once more "Don't worry about anything just have fun" she speaks as she orders the carriage to head to the palace.
The carriage finally makes it to the entrance of the palace and stops. The driver gets off from his seat and jumps onto the ground, grabs a small stepladder and places it in front of the door. The driver opens the door and extends his hand helping me off the carriage, he then hands me a rolled up parchment tied with a bow and closed with the Pharaohs seal. "Please miss take care, and the goddess has instructed me to tell you to return before morning" he says "morning, why?" I reply, "That is when her spell will wear off" he replies back. I start giggling, "alright I will return back home before morning" I tell him and head into the palace with the parchment in hand.
I enter the palace looking around in amazement, the round pillars where large and tall, each one is decorated all around with colorful lotus petals. As I walked around a feeling of familiarity washes over me and shrug it off to find guards looking cross. One of the guards walks in front of me blocking my way. "My lady no one can enter with out an invitation," the guard reassures that he follows his orders. I show him the parchment; I hand it over and studies it ordering the other guards to open the doors. I enter to see an extensively large room with many columns similar to the ones I saw outside. On my left are the tables filled with food, to my right is an open hallway showing a large open garden. I peer in front of me to examine a small staircase showing Pharaoh Atemu sitting on his throne with hi six Priests beside him.
At one moment everyone stops talking and stares at me like the last time. This type of staring makes me feel uncomfortable and looked down a little embarrassed and sigh, as I look down I see the shadow of Pharaoh Atemu. I examine him smiling at me, which made me smile back, he then orders the musicians to start the music and we both begin to dance. The other men grab their female partners and start dancing on the dance floor as well. My stepsisters are staring at me with jealous eyes.
It's the next day and it is late afternoon I have worked really hard all day so that I can finish all my chores to help the twins later this evening. I'm so exhausted I sit down for a few minutes until I hear the twins screaming for me to help them to get ready. I proceed to their room as fast as I can, while walking a swirl of dizziness hits me. However I have to press on because I may end up in trouble. I start getting the girls ready for this evenings ball "girls are you ready?" demand my stepfather "were ready" they reply back and rush to the living room. I follow still feeling a little out of it "Ebio don't forget the dresses for tomorrow evening," request Anit as they all head out. A sigh of relief escapes my mouth and plop onto the sofa finally getting some peace and quite, I still feel slightly unwell but ignore it.
I finally lie down and take a short nap when a hand softly brushes my hair gently. I start having a dream about my mother when I was as a child. I have just fallen over and hurt my knee she looks down at me smiling wearing a long lilac silk dress, and wearing a fiery red phoenix tiara in her hair. A tall stout man in regal clothing is standing next to her towering her height. He has a kind smile and is kneeling down towards me holding out his arms I run towards him crying. A boy around the age of nine is holding a doll playing with it trying to make me smile.
I wake up to see Isis kneeling down looking worriedly towards me. I get up and rub my eyes "they made you work to hard today didn't they?" she asks making me put on a brave face and smile. "Goddess Isis, I'm fine" I reply back. She sighs "alright lets get you ready" she expresses and snaps her fingers creating a bright golden glow around me. Revealing a gorgeous long strapless lilac dress that drapes and accentuates my curves. On the back of the dress is a long sheer silver fabric train that is connected at the top hem of the dress. Isis smirks as she reveals shoes that match the train and does the final touches to my hair and makeup.
She grins at her work "if you are still unwell during the ball return before you get worse" she whispers worriedly. I smile "I'm feeling slightly better after that small nap" I reply trying not to worry her. She sighs and adds some colored jewels to my hair and hugs me "your just like her, always putting on a strong face" she mumbles under her breath and lets me go. The both of us leave the house to see a small but gorgeous horse carriage. I smile as she clasps a silver cloak around my neck "now were done" she says as the driver helps me into the small carriage "this time I give you permission to stay longer" she proclaimed as the horse pulling the carriage starts moving towards the palace. The front of the palace was empty when the carriage stops, the driver gets off and helps me out of the carriage, "I will be waiting for you in case your unwell" states the driver as he turns into a beautiful dove and perches on a statue.
I inhale and slowly make my way inside. A feeling of nostalgia overwhelms me as I look around the palace again and sigh in amazement. Even though I am feeling unwell I put on a strong face as a servant walks up to me and asks for my cloak. The servant bows leaving with the cloak in hand as I walk towards the throne room, with butterflies in my stomach. I sigh and stroll towards the entrance, as I walk eyes are already watching and some of them are not pleased to see me again. I look down to see a familiar shadow and look up to see Pharaoh Atemu extending his hand towards me smiling widely. I accept his hand and walk towards the dance floor and start dancing, a sense of familiarity about Pharaoh Atemu crosses my mind "where have I seen him before?" I say in my head as I smile at him. "I'm glade you came back, I was worried" he queries looks at my face and becomes worried "are you not well?" he asks me.
I put on a brave face for him and smile "I'm fine Atemu-sama" I answer as he drags me to grab something to eat "please eat" he says as he hands me a piece of melon. I put the piece of fruit in my mouth and feel a sweetness and honey flavor from the fruit playing in my mouth as I swallow it. I smile "it was really delicious," I mutter, as he looks at me with a smile, however behind those eyes is an immeasurable sadness as he stares at me. His hand extends to me and touches my face, "you feel slightly warm" he cries worriedly "please don't concern yourself with me" I reply back to him putting on another brave face. He then hands me another piece of fruit and I try to grab it when a strong dizziness spell overwhelms my body making the room spin rapidly making me pass out almost falling onto the floor.
