Chapter 11

�� Now that
five had been assigned� what left two? Gluttony�. And Wrath.
�� Akunadin
may have made a decent Wrath, but he was now dead and Bakura possessed the Eye.
�� There were
the Scales and the Ankh left...
�� But was it
wise to change Shadah and Karim? Perhaps not, perhaps yes, but the choices was
upon them soon, and in any case, they would just have to wait and see�
�� Personally,
Mahaado thought Karim might be unfit for this position, but� they were testing
in secret.
�� Well,
whoever did not fall prey to the red water would live� and become more�

�� Well, it
was to be expected.� Yami said dryly as a strange �plague� struck the palace
not days later. Shadah was perfectly well, if a bit dazed.
�� His eyes
took on their odd bluish hue after he became Wrath� why Wrath? Perhaps it was
his dedication to the throne, but without Set around he was really the most
warlike of all. He would go to war for Egypt.
�� The others
wouldn�t quite do that. Subterfuge and assassinations� but yes, different
strengths, different specialties made an excellent court.
�� All in all,
Pharaoh�s court had to be somewhat balanced after all, to endure into the
future. Mere power was never enough. One also needed strategy and luck.
�� Luck�
�� Would
Gluttony bring them luck, then?

�� Who has
luck?�
�� Mahaado
gave Yami a strange look. �Luck?�
�� Yes, luck,
Mahaado. It�s not just skill and strategy that we need to rule our kingdom.
Luck wouldn�t hurt.�
�� No, I
suppose it wouldn�t�.� The mage purred as the Pharaoh took him in his arms.
�But now I wonder��
�� You can
wonder later.� Yami whispered, drawing Mahaado down into another kiss. The
priest laughed inwardly. To think that it was so simple�.
�� So
convenient that our desires coincide, is it not, Pharaoh�?
�� Oh, make no
mistake of my intentions. I shall be loyal to you for eternity. It is simply so
much more fun this way�

�� Djou was
nervous. After all, he was but a mere guard in the palace, and when things like
assassinations and dark magic happened on a near daily basis, it made the mere
mortals feel uncomfortable and rather incompetent. Cannon fodder, really�
�� He hadn�t
done anything wrong, had he?
�� Why did the
Pharaoh want to summon him for an audience then?

�� Djou was no
fool. He knew that the Prince, er, Pharaoh now, was not wise to cross, but he
didn�t think he�d made any large blunders�
�� So why was
he being summoned to the throne room?
�� Or maybe it
was� maybe they had found out about the small Ka he harbored inside his heart.
But he was no criminal, truly he wasn�t!
�� It wasn�t
an evil spirit�
��
�� He watched
as the doors to the throne room slid open. No, what was he thinking? It wasn�t
the throne room. It was the middle of the night and he was� gulp, being
summoned to the Pharaoh�s private chambers. Djou began to sweat nervously. It
couldn�t be� could it? He had heard a rumor that the Pharaoh preferred men �
um, well, not a rumor ever since he had taken High Priest Mahaado as his
consort, but�
�� Surely the
Pharaoh didn�t want him to�?
�� He wiped
moist palms on his kilt as he stepped inside. There, he saw several familiar
faces. High Priest Shadah, High Priestess Aishizu, High Priestess Mana, High
Priest Mahaado, the Pharaoh himself�
�� What was
going on? Why was he� they weren�t going to assassinate him, were they?
�� Djou took
deep breaths not to panic, sank to his needs, and muttered the proper
greetings.

�� Rise.�
Yami said, watching Djou intently. <So he is the one? >
�� Aishizu
gave a brief inclination of her head, barely perceptible. < He is the one my
necklace had led us to. >
�� < Well,
far be it form us to question the powers of the Sennen Tauk. > Mahaado
rejoined. Shadah nodded. The Tauk had never led them wrong� always showed the
future clearly�
�� Aishizu had
no reason to betray them.
�� She looked
at Shadah a bit nervously, and he found himself smiling back. Karim had fallen,
so perhaps� she might have feelings for him?
�� They were
still human in one way � they could still feel.

�� Yami
nodded. �Mahaado, shall we?� The High Priest rose from his seat and held out
his hand. There was something glowing in it, like rubies�
�� Before Djou
quite knew what was happening he had gotten out of his respectful crouching bow
and grabbed whatever it was. Then, he�d started eating it. By the time his
brain caught up with him, he had already consumed everything�
�� Yami
smirked. �Well, that was easy enough to determine, wasn�t it?�
�� Shadah
nodded as they continued to scrutinize him.
�� Djou�s
stomach rumbled, a strange thing�� of
course, he was perpetually hungry, but now of all times...!
�� Djou
colored and immediately began apologizing, only to find that no one seemed
interested in reprimanding him.
�� What on
earth�?

�� < It is
completed. >
�� < This
will be interesting�. I suppose he should have the Scales then? >
�� < No.
> Yami said. < Shadah� >
�� < Yes?
>
�� < You
have always been more at home with the Scales than with the Ankh, have you not?
>
�� < My
Pharaoh is ever observant and wise. >
�� < Then
you shall have the Sennen Scales, and Djou shall hold the Ankh in his
possession. >
�� Djou looked
up as he was helped to his feet. �H-High Priestess Mana?�
�� The girl,
more girl than woman, smiled at him, but it wasn�t a cheerful smile. �Welcome,
Djou, new Priest of the Sennen Ankh.�
�� Huh? What?
Wait! Doesn�t Shadah have the Ankh?�
�� He watched
as the turbaned priest removed the Ankh from its cord, taking up the Scales
instead. Talk about odd�
�� Well,
whatever. He didn�t know why the Pharaoh was suddenly making him a High Priest,
but he was Pharaoh�
�� I look
forwards to seeing your Red-Eyes in battle� Djou.�
�� Huh? How
had the Pharaoh known about the Red-Eyes Black dragon he carried? High
Priestess Aishizu smiled fondly at him and tapped her Tauk with one hand.
�� Oh�
�� Well, since
High Priest Karim was dead, they were finding someone with a strong Ka to
become the new High Priest? That made sense�
�� But he had
no learning�� but as he picked up the
Ankh and felt it nestle against his chest, there was a strange sensation of�
belonging�
�� Interesting.
