Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Songbird ❯ Death of a Priest ( Chapter 12 )

"Priest Seto is dying there isn't much time left."

Priestess Ishizu, Priestess Mana, and Priest Shadah and all the servants were standing in tears watching their comrade slowly perish but the Pharaoh was more hurt then any of them. He realized what Kimora was talking about now.

"Oh my friend why has fate come so early to take you away?"

"Maybe I deserve this. I was plotting against you all along my Pharaoh until I met this young lady who showed me different and taught me something I pushed away my whole life. She taught me how to love and I must say that it is a wonderful feeling. I hid her from you my friend because I wanted to use her Ka to go against you. I apologize and now I will pay for my selfishness."

"It is alright Seto my friend. Even though you had these motives you still stuck by me when push came to shove and I admire you for that. Never once did you try to take advantage of me while I was down. Thank you for saving my life. Your courageousness will never be forgotten."

"Thank you my friend..."

"Before I forget...Kimora says she is terribly sorry."

"Ah Kimora I will truly miss her. Such a sweet Songbird. I am not angry she is forgiven. I have done my share to deserve this. I went along with Zork the whole time believing what he said and now it's got the best of me."

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop her..."

"It's alright my Pharaoh. Don't be sad rejoice you will reign a supreme King and I will be in the Heavens looking down upon you all smiling."

"You always knew how to keep calm in a serious situation."

"Well knowing what the situation is I have nothing else but to keep calm until I am dead."

"Our people are planning to construct a Temple in your honor."

"It is not necessary I am only a Priest. Temple's are for Kings and Queens and their heirs."

"Well since I am King I will do it differently. You were more of a friend to me then anyone else and for that I thank you again and only a true friend of mine will die with the best of us."

"Oh you spiky headed fool..."

The Pharaoh laughs.

"What a friend...."

Kimora walks in and stares at Priest Seto and starts to sing.

"Wherever death may take you

Someone will be right there

All the ones that you adored

Will be standing near

Greeting you with open arms

You should feel much blessed

Now shut your eyes my weary Priest

Your time is drawing near

Let them come and take your soul

Your destiny stops here

And if you ever feel alone look down upon this land

There you will find all the ones you left

Beyond the golden sand

A naked angelic Kisara enters the room and reaches out her hand to Priest Seto he then looks up with a smile and gladly takes her hand and his spirit is lifted out of his body as everyone holds onto one another crying even more as they drift away above the sky.

"Goodbye friend..."

The Pharaoh looked around the room and saw that Kimora disappeared again. He left the room in search for her but not along after he heard a sweet hum filling the area and followed it into Kimora's room where she was looking out the window with her hair over her left shoulder humming to herself while twisting it up.

"That was beautiful..."

"It's the least I can do for ending his life."

"Well at least he was happy when he left."

"True, but I still feel bad about what I did."

"Seto said he forgives you and that he will miss you."

"I heard the whole conversation."

The Pharaoh sat down next to Kimora and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing the right side of her neck.

"You know that girl he was talking about?"

"What about it?"

"Her name was Kisara. She was such a sweet ivory angel."

"How do you know about her?"

"When the Head Mistress and I dueled I was taken to the medical center. When I woke up I was trying to find my way out and ran into Kisara who was also receiving medical attention. We chatted for a while and she seemed like a really sweet girl. She reminded me of myself. That's why I admired her so much."

"See you do have a friend."

"Yeah..."

"I'm glad you told me. If Priest Seto had told me about her I would have let her stay."

"But she is the one with the Blue Eyes White Dragon the Ka he wanted to use to defeat you with that's why he didn't tell you."

"Oh....well why didn't you tell me?"

"Because Priest Seto and me made a promise and I knew that he wouldn't go through with it because he cares for you too much to do that. Zork was the one who wanted to do this and I'll bet if your father knew who he really was he would have killed him years ago."

"True...I had no idea he was like this. I guess I should evaluate my Priests more before I put my trust into them."

"What will you do now?"

"Get this Kingdom back on its feet. I've already discussed with everyone and we agreed to say that Priest Seto died because of Zork. If your name gets out then we will never hear the end of it."

"Good..."

Even though everything was starting to go back to normal the spirits of Kuruelna were angry and wanted to kill. They came rushing out of the ruin city and headed towards Meretseger to finish what Zork started...
