Yu-Gi-Oh! 6
I pass out in the throne room. The guests look at the event that is transpiring with concern and interest as Pharaoh Atemu picks me up bridal style. All the Priests run up to him as he holds me protectively in his arms, Atemu covers his hand on my forehead to feel a burning sensation. "Pharaoh Atemu, is the young maiden alright?" asks Priest Shada as he holds Sennen Ankh in his hand. The Sennen item in his hand starts glowing brightly and begins to burn his hand. He winces in pain as he drops it onto the floor making a clanking sound; he's holding his hand to see a burnt mark on his palm. "What in Ra's name was that?" asks all the priests as Priest Shada looks at me "this girl has a very strong Ka living within her" he says loudly as he winces in pain from his hand.
My breath quickens as my skin turns a pale color "Seth, take her to my chambers, and call the physician, Ill follow you after I have the guest return to their homes, and guest chambers" he suggests as Atemu hands me over to Priest Seth. Seth bows and quickly runs to Atemu's chamber. Seth is running down the corridor to see a maid coming towards him and realize that its Airi "Airi call for the royal physician, bring a clean cloth and water to Pharaoh Atemu's chamber" says Seth as he holds me closer. Even though I'm burning up I feel a sense of familiarity from his touch and voice.
*** Meanwhile Atemu's POV***
I am in the throne room politely requesting the guest to return to their chambers and their homes. Two young girls walk up to me "Pharaoh Atemu why can't we continue the party?" they interrogate with dissatisfied faces "My apologies, but I need to make sure that that young maiden is alright" I tell the girls and made sure that the other guests leave safely. As I do I overhear what the two girls are talking about "Who ever that girl is, is going to pay" murmur the two young girls looking for blood "Anit, Hatshepsut we need to return home" bellows a mans voice "but father" they say "now!" he cries out dissatisfied with the two girls behavior. A young boy walks up to him and stands by his side. The girls sigh "well I guess we can take our anger out on Ebio, by making our outfits like last night, I hope that girl is not being lazy back at the house" they retort and leave the throne room. When they said that name I turn around to see them leave "that cant be" I whisper myself when Mahad steps towards me "Pharaoh is everything alright?" he questioned me. "Yes everything is fine," I hesitantly return the answer thinking about what those two girls were speaking about. I make my way to my chambers to check up on the young girl.
The girl is lying on a large bed; the draped sheets that are hanging over the bed are tied to the four posts of the bed. The bed sheets are covering her body and a wet towel is lying on her forehead. "Mommy?" she whispers weakly as she opens her eyes and immediately falls back asleep. "How is she, Seth" I ask Seth in a worried tone "Pharaoh Atemu, her fever hasn't decreased at all," he responds in a similar concern taking off the towel from her forehead into a bowl and back on again. I stroll to the edge of the bed and sit down brushing a hand against her cheek. "She looks just like her," I murmur, looking down at her "you mean her?" he blurts as Seth peeks at the girl. I make out a man's voice, I turn around to see father "father you should not be up" I speak and run up to him "Atemu I'm fine" he replies. I hear coughing coming from the bed behind me, father then walks up to the bed to stare at the young girl lying there. His face is filled with shock and happiness "father is everything all right?" I inquire with confusion.
He turns to smile back at me at that same moment the other priests enter the room. "How is she?" asks Isis as she looks down at the young girl, as she looks down the physician walks into the room "please excuse me" says an elderly woman interrupting us as she walks up to the bed. The woman sees the girl "is this young maiden my patient?" she says as she starts examining the young maiden. The physician smiles "can everyone please leave the room so that I can examine her?" she demanded as she kicks us all out. We were unexpectedly kicked out. "What's wrong with her?" responds Seth as he sees the previous Pharao sitting on a bench behind us with a worried face.
The older woman opens the door "you may enter now" she instructed as we all enter the room, she then starts crying. "My Pharaoh, Akhenamkhanen-sama, this young maiden has the same birthmark as the previous Queen Nebit" (FYI-Nebit means: mistress; the Golden One). She confirms, as she looks down at the girl "wait a minute you mean Princess Ebio that young maiden is the princess, you have to be lying" doubts an elderly man as he walks into the room. "Akhnadin please calm down, we will find out soon if she is Ebio," I calmly respond to him trying to calm him down. As we argue a light shins from the girls body.
All of us shut our eyes and open them to see the palace courtyard. "What's going on here?" asks Seth as he looks around, we then hear two people talking. We walk to were the talking was coming from to see a small version of myself practicing my sword skills "Atemu please be careful" warns a beautiful woman with long golden blond hair and light violet eyes. She is sitting on a chair with two large knitting needles in her lap, while a large white color baby basket with white fabric sticking out the sides is standing right next to her. Inside the basket a baby starts laughing and cooing happily.
I stare at this in disbelief "Mother?" the child ponders with pouty face. I see a spitting image of her "Queen Nebit!" screaches the priests as they gawk at the event happening. "Nebit, my love" croaked father as he starts crying. We hear two people practicing sword fighting and myself in awe to see my childhood in front of me.
Childhood Images:
I'm practicing my sword to see mother looking into the crib, smiling and playing with the baby that's lying inside. The younger me walks up to mother happily trying to peek at the baby inside, mother grins as she grabs the child and lifts him up to see the baby. The child smiles "Mommy after practice can I play with Ebio?" asks my younger self "well see" is all the she says as the instructor walks up to both of them "Prince Atemu please return to your training" says the instructor as father walks up to all of us. He has a gentle smile "how is my son, daughter and beautiful wife?" he asks kissing mother "were all fine" she replies.
Suddenly a white light surrounds us and then diminishes. We open our eyes to see the palace once again but this time it's in the main hallway, a little girl around the age of two with beautiful golden hair and bright happy violet eyes is walking down the hallway with a slightly older version of me, from when I was around eight years old. "Atty, lets wet mama and papa up and pway" she says as she drags the younger me down the hallway. I stare at the event that is going on "I remember this, Ebio wanted to play with mom and dad really badly since they were so busy" I say as they walk right through me and towards a large pair of doors. The younger me open up the large doors and quickly heads into the room to follow his younger sister. The little girl tries to jump onto the bed but it proves worthless "Atty hewp" she says as the childhood me pushes her onto the bed and then I follow her. "MAMA, PAPA! WAKEY WAKEY!" she screeches happily as she jumps on top of father's stomach "Ebio please stop" the child me instructs as he tries to grab her.
However she slithers out of my grasps and puffs up her cheeks as she begins over again until father sits up. "Fine I can't win against your stubbornness," he says as he moves the pillow to make it look like he is siting comfortably. At this time mother wakes up from the noise "Ebio, Atemu what are you guys doing?" she asks as Ebio wobbles to her "mama up yeah!" she says happily… At that moment another bright light emerges, returning us back where we were.
The girls body starts dimming and disappears, father starts crying "My baby she's back home" he bawls kissing her forehead. My hand trembles "Where has she been the entire time?" I sobbed asking myself with tears flowing down my face.
~Back to Ebio's POV
The sound of birds and the rays of Ra illuminate the room I wake up quickly and jolt out of bed thinking that I was back in my room in the attic. Once getting up my legs fell weak and fall towards the ground, except I feel strong hands holding me. I look to see Pharaoh Atemu lifting me up bridal style "Atemu-sama, what are you doing?" I nervously ask him blushing. He smirks back "isn't it a job for the sick to lay down and rest" he convinced me as he lays me back on the bed covering soft silk sheets over me. His protective hand covers my forehead "thank the gods that your fever has gone down, I've been praying all night" he says as his hands move from my forehead to rest at the top of my head. With his free hand he wraps it around my waist and holds me close to him, his grip tightens making me lose my breath. "Atemu-sama?" I ponder in confusion "why cant you remember me?" he muttered sadly.
I stare at his face to realize that it was the same face from the dreams that I had not that long ago. I still can't remember, he then gets an idea "stay here" he states and leaves the room. I'm in the room by myself until I hear quicken footsteps until the door violently bursts open loudly. I quickly move the curtains out of the way to see several of the priests standing in front of me quietly smiling. "Good morning" beamed Priest Shada as he bows respectfully "Good morning" added the other Priests as they bow as well. I look at them confused "good morning" is all that I could reply. As I finish saying good morning Atemu-sama walks into the room holding what seems to be a medium size trunk. "What's inside?" I ask him curiously as he walks up to me and put down the trunk on the bed "some old toys" he says as he opens it and rummages through the trunk to reveal an old doll.
I look at it curiously remember something important from my past "you got that for me when I got sick as a child" I chirped happily and grab the doll. I start crying happily as Atemu wraps his arms around my shoulders holding me close again "don't leave us again" Atemu says as he starts crying himself. The other priests smile and start crying as well "Princess Ebio welcome home" they sobbed "I don't really remember everything about being a princess" I reply as Atemu lets me go. "Don't worry about that Isis and all the other Priests will help you out," Atemu happily states.
Atemu wipes tears "we are going to have a new celebration tomorrow evening, Seth inform all the messengers to send word to everyone that there will be a ball tomorrow to honor Princess Ebio's return" he proclaims as Seth bows "its your will Pharaoh" he responds leaving the room. At that moment three elderly men enter the room, one was extremely short, a white bear, dark violet eyes "it is good that you returned to us Princess Ebio, I'm Shimon" he says bowing. "I'm the senior Priest Akhnadin," chatted the second elderly man, however his eyes show not delight but something else. The third man was as tall as Akhnadin, his face was familiar as he stares at mine "Ebio, my little honey pot" father cried out holding me close to him I then remember something else from my past "dad you're the only one that called me honey pot" I blubber under my breath as I start crying. "Papa" I cried once more "get some rest today, I will have the maids prepare a room for you near Atemu's" he expressed in delight.
The elder Shimon looks at me "Ebio-sama, where is Queen Nebit?" he addressed. I look away "mother died a long time ago" I sadly told them; the entire room fell silent at this piece of new information. I clap my hands together "I will like to take a nice hot bath" I blurt out trying to change the subject about mother. Everyone stares at me as brother calls for the maids to help me, father looks at me with his kind face "when you are ready you can tell me about everything" he cheered and exits the room. I sigh as the priests bow "as Akhenamkhanen-sama stated when you are ready please tell us anything" reassures Priest Mahad who wearing the Sennen Ring around his chest. I put on a fake smile for everyone, Atemu glares at me in concern "well lets end this discussion and let you rest" interrupts Atemu as he notifies the others to exit the room. "Please rest well Princess" they all state in unison leaving the room with me, brother and the maids.
I get up and look around the room "woman please help her" he orders the maids as they bow "My lady please follow us" says the same girl that I meet at the market place, however it seems that she hasn't recognized me. I smile "thank you" I shyly return the reply as they help me to the bath. Twenty minutes have passed and I'm finished with my bath, the maids have given me a long powder blue strapless long dress that accentuated my figure, and my hair is braided. I head back to Atemu's room to see him smiling "that suits you better" he says and kisses my forehead. I smile at him "lets get breakfast" he happily states and grabs my hand with his and we head out of his room.
