Chapter 1~ Pharaoh of Egypt
~*~*~*~
The shorter-than-average pharaoh paced back and forth in front of his throne. "Pharaoh, the caravan will be leaving in three days and returning a week from today." A councilman said. "Yes, I know. I'll be ready to go by then." The Pharaoh said. "Yami, must you go like this? I fear that you will be discovered and killed while you are on your journey!" his advisor said, walking up. Yami stopped pacing and sat in his throne. "Seto," he said strongly, "Traveling as a peasant in a caravan is safer then traveling through the desert with guards and royal clothing. I'll be just fine, and I'll have three of the Magi with me. They, too, shall look like peasants."
Seto bowed. "Yes, Pharaoh. Now I see that you are safer this way." Yami nodded. "Mm." A short, trembling man cleared his throat and stepped up. "Your order of business is to meet with the General of the Roman army and have him sign the treaty of alliance." He said shakily. Yami nodded and inwardly rolled his eyes at that man's ignorance. What kind of pharaoh wouldn't remember about his own treaty? "Where is the treaty?" the man shakily handed a rolled up piece of parchment to Seto, who gave it to Yami.
Yami unrolled it and skimmed it over. He rolled it back up and handed it back to Seto. "Are today's affairs done?" he asked. "Yes, Pharaoh. You may retire. We will continue tomorrow." Seto said. Yami stood and walked out of the room and down the many halls to his guarded room. He pushed the giant doors open and walked into the room, the guards closing it behind him. Yami sighed and stripped himself of his jewelry and robes, climbing into the silk sheets of his king size bed. He lay, staring at the canopy above, before he fell asleep.
~*~*~*~
Yami shot up in his bed breathing hard, a thin line of cold sweat covering his skin. "A nightmare?" he asked himself, eyes wide. "A premonition," a female voice said. He turned toward his doors and saw a tall woman. She walked over to his bed, her long black hair flowing behind her and a part of it over her shoulder, mixing with her off-white Egyptian robe. She sat down in front of him and continued, "of a young beauty that shall enter your life very soon. You will feel for him what you have never felt for anyone before." She said. Yami stared at her. "How did you know of that?" he asked.
She bowed her head respectfully to him, then looked back into his eyes. "I am your sorceress, Pharaoh; therefore I am linked to you. I see what premonitions you see." She said. "Tell me, what does this young beauty look like?" she asked. "If you saw it, don't you know?" She smiled. "No, Pharaoh. I may know of your premonition, but it is not as clear to me as it is to you."
Yami closed his eyes for a moment, then looked back up to her. "All I saw were his eyes. Big and beautiful, shining with innocence and purity. They were rare, much like yours and my own." A smile formed on her lips. "What color are they?"
"A beautiful shade of purple." Yami answered. She nodded. "Yes. Few Egyptians have rare eye colors. However, that is how you know who you are destined to be with." Yami stared into her golden orbs. "I don't understand. How can you tell?" he asked. "Dearest Yami, strange eye colors combined with dreams of pleasure or death signal that you are destined to be with that person." She explained.
"I am glad that you are my sorceress, you are special and unlike anyone else." A small blush covered her cheeks at that. "Thank you, Pharaoh." Light entered the room and reflected in her eyes, making them a light gold, as the sun rose. "Saren, can I always come to you when I have problems? You are better then my advisor Seto." Saren nodded. "Always. My Pharaoh, please do not misjudge Seto. He is but learning to be an advisor. Like you, he is young and still inexperienced. He worries about you because it is his job."
"It is no one's job to worry about me." Yami said. Saren shook her head. "No, Yami. Everyone who cares about you worries for your safety. If you were ever missing, or injured, we would all be in a panic." She stood and laid new robes in front of him. "Now, Pharaoh, it is time for you to dress and tend to the daily affairs." Yami sighed. "A break would really be nice." He muttered to himself. Saren giggled. "Pharaohs always deserve a break once in a while. Maybe you will get yours soon." She said. Yami shrugged. "Maybe."
He pulled the robes on and walked over to a mirror. Saren placed her hands on his shoulders and made him sit on the small chair. She briefly combed through his hair, then placed the brush back on the table in front of him. "I can do this myself, Saren." She smiled and shook her head, the small charms on her headband clinking gently. "I'm going to do it today, Yami." She said. She buckled all of the necklaces and bracelets and placed the headband on him, the Senen eye resting on the middle of his forehead.
She smiled at him in the mirror. "You are very beautiful today. Everyday." She said. Yami chuckled lightly. "You are just as beautiful, Saren. The only other person as beautiful as I."
"So far." She added. Yami looked at her confused. "Did you forget about your young beauty already?" she asked. "No. His eyes will distract me all day if I don't forget, though." He said. They walked out of his room and down the halls. "Well, then I guess you'll not be concentrating at all today." She said with a smile. Yami glared at her as they walked into the throne room. They walked up to the throne and he sat down, Saren standing beside him.
The guards looked confused by her presence. She smiled slightly. "My presence is necessary." She said simply, her voice echoing through the room. "Don't just stand around. What are today's affairs?" Yami asked.
~*~*~*~
Finally the day arrived. Yami dressed in peasants clothes and was accompanied out of the palace by his disguised Magi and the others in the caravan. They climbed upon their camels and guided wagons out of the city and started on their way through the desert. ~*~*~*~
After a week of negotiations, the caravan headed back. Yami had decided to allow one of the peasants ride his camel because he felt like walking instead, two Magi sticking close to him. He looked over his shoulder, becoming annoyed with them. Suddenly, arrow went flying into the caravan. Yami whirled around as he heard a scream. The young woman riding his camel fell to the desert sand. Yami ran over to her and felt for a pulse. He saw the arrow embedded in her side and broke it, gently rolling her over. "I'm. . .sorry. . . Pharaoh." She said quietly as she died.
Yami placed her down and stood up. "Sir! You must stay low!" one of the Magi said. Yami looked at the man. Suddenly the man's eyes widened and he fell over on Yami. Yami caught him and lowered him down, staring at the arrow embedded in his back.
Yami got up and began to run to another of his Magi, but fell backwards onto the sand. "Ah!" he cried out. He grasped the arrow that was embedded in his chest, close to his heart. He breathed hard then fell limp, passing out from the pain.
