“Mana, I always feared the day that this would happen. The time has come for you to leave the safety of the palace walls and live in the city. Mahado has already found you somewhere close by, so you won’t have far to walk.” Atem said as they walked together around the garden, sitting next to their tree. Mana was now sixteen and had reached the age when she could live outside.
“It’s strange how we always end up here isn’t it? This is where we first met, do you remember?” Mana asked as she climbed into the tree and sat looking down at Atem, who smiled up at her,
“Yes, Prince Atem, no, Prince Atem, three bags full, Prince Atem. Yes, I remember, how could I forget? And then of course you tired to drown me.” he joked as he sat on the wall by the pond.
“I did not!” Mana objected as Atem flicked some cold water up at her.
“Mana!” Mahado called as he walked across the garden. Mana felt her heart skip a beat and looked down to see Mahado looking up at her. “Come on, it’s time to go.” He said as she hopped down to his side.
“Bye Atem, see you soon!” she called as she walked away, “Will I still be allowed here?” she asked as they walked to the gates, which were guarded by four guards, who parted to let them by,
“Of course, you still require training, and after that you will be working for the good of Egypt, which will most likely require your presence in the palace.” He replied as they entered the city. Mana walked along in silence down the familiar streets, in fact the streets were the same ones she had walked through as a child, before the fire that had killed her parents.
“Here we are.” Mahado announced as he stopped outside a house that Mana recognised,
“This is my house, you fixed it?” she asked as tears welled in her eyes,
“Yes, I knew that you would need somewhere to live, so I had it restored for you…do you like it?” he asked, feeling her take his hand gently.
“It’s beautiful” she replied,

Mana stood in her house. It was exactly as she remembered it, the small wooden cupboards, the single bed, the small cooking fire and the single window as well as the same wooden staircase leading to the roof. She turned as Mahado entered the house behind her,
“Thank you so much for this Mahado…I thought it was still just a burned out shell, but you have revived it.” She said gratefully as she ran a hand across the rough mud brick wall. “It’s so familiar, but so different.” She added as Mahado put a large sack on the bed.
“These are your belongings. You should un-pack and get settled before you return to the palace for your lesson.” He said kindly. Mana turned and put her arms around his neck, “Mana! Be cautious! People may see.” He warned, though he still put his arms round her waist.
“But, Mahado, we have been like this for almost a year now! We never get any time alone…for us.” She replied quietly, glancing briefly at the open door, but no one was paying them any attention. Mahado backed her against the wall and kissed her,
“One day we will find the time, but you know that it is forbidden for a master and his students to be involved. Just be patient, one day we will be together, I promise you.” He replied as he ran a hand down her cheek gently. Mana closed her eyes and leaned into his touch briefly,
“You should return to the palace…the Pharaoh will be wondering where you are.” She sighed as she walked to the bed. Mahado also sighed and followed her to the bed, where she was pulling clothes out of the sack. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her,
“I’ll see you in the dungeon for your lesson.” He purred in her ear before kissing her cheek and leaving. Mana looked over her shoulder and saw the tail of his long cloak disappear round the door.

On a rooftop across from Mana’s house a young man crouched and watched. He saw Mahado leave the house and walk away, and inside he could see Mana un-packing. The white haired youth smiled maliciously and laughed,
“I see Mahado, she is your secret love…this could be useful…the millennium ring will be mine!” he vowed as he watched Mana standing on the doorstep. Bakura looked down at her with his chocolate brown eyes and saw her shiver despite the heat. She looked around before catching a glimpse of him on the roof. She smiled and waved, probably thinking that he was just another man of the city. Bakura raised a hand and waved back. Such a naïve young girl, oh, Mahado! What a fool you are, leading me right to her! I will make you pay for all those years of imprisonment you forced upon me! He thought as the young girl, who was only a year younger than him, went back into her house.

“Mana. You impressed me in your lesson today. You are my most promising student.” Mahado complimented as they sat beneath the tree together, close, but not too close. Mana looked up in surprise,
“You have more students?” she asked in shock, at which Mahado laughed kindly,
“Of course! Twenty five more, though you are my only private student, and the only woman.” He added, “I will take you to the large training grounds soon. It’s time you began using larger spells.” He continued as he looked up at the clear blue sky. Mana gently shifted closer to him, looking around to make sure no one was watching. “Mana, you’ll get us in trouble.” He scolded lightly as she took his hand,
“I don’t care! I’m sick of sticking to the laws!” she replied in frustration,
“Mana, you know the laws are there for a reason.” He argued,
“But it’s not fair! I love you! Why is that so wrong? I just…I just wish that the Gods would give us a sign to tell us that it was alright, that they approve even if the laws of this land say otherwise.” She prayed. Mahado sighed and nodded in agreement as he leaned on the tree. “What was that?” Mana wondered aloud,
“What was what?” Mahado asked as she touched her leg. Mana looked up to answer when Mahado felt a drop of water. “I-it’s raining!” he said in amazement as he got to his feet and stepped out from beneath the tree into the strong rain that had suddenly began to pour.
“This doesn’t make any sense, the sky was blue just a moment ago. Where did all these clouds come from? The rains aren’t due for another three months!” Mana added as she stepped into the downpour with Mahado, who laughed and wrapped his arms around her,
“It is the Gods Mana! They heard your prayer! The Egyptian Gods approve of us!” he laughed as he lifted Mana into his arms and swung her round. Mana laughed and kissed him, neither now caring who saw them.

“Prince Atem, I regret to inform you that Pharaoh Akunumkanon is gravely ill…it is likely that he will pass away before the year is out.” Priest Seto announced as he knelt before Atem. Seto wore a long blue cloak, a white toga and a blue priest hat with the millennium rod at his belt.
“I know…my father wishes for me to take the millennium puzzle and rule now, but I am not ready…” Atem replied as he turned and looked out into the garden, where he saw Mana and Mahado sitting beneath the tree. He heard Seto get to his feet and stand beside him, looking down at the pair beneath the tree.
“I don’t like that…they are too close as a master and student.” Seto said as he watched Mana slide closer to Mahado.
“What? Why?” Atem asked in confusion,
“It is forbidden for a master and student to become involved. It makes things difficult. In these situations the student will be favoured above others in their class.” Seto explained,
“But Mana is his private student, she isn’t in a class.” Atem argued,
“That makes it worse. It means that Mahado will not teach his classes as effectively because he will spend more time with that one student.” Seto replied. “I heard a story once, about such a teacher and student. Many years ago a teacher loved his student and the love was returned. They hid their love, for it was against their laws and in their society the punishment for all lawbreakers was the same. Their souls would be sealed away, much as our own laws dictate in some cases, but the lovers decided that their relationship was worth the risk, so strong were their feelings…” he began,
“What happened to them?” Atem asked as he turned to Seto, who leaned on the wall with his head hung and his eyes closed sadly,
“They made a mistake. One day they were spotted and brought to justice. The teacher was powerful, a magician, and his powers were so strong that he could have escaped, but he refused to leave his love and fought. Many fell, not dead, just asleep, but his student’s soul was sealed away. Once she was gone, the great magician’s will was broken. He allowed himself to be sealed so that he could be with his love.” He continued, “It was said that one day they would be reunited, I don’t know if they ever met again, but their stone tablets were destroyed so that their souls would wander restlessly. The last thing that was seen when the tablets were destroyed were two figures. One was a man, no, not a man, the shadow of a man. He was wearing purple robes. The other was a young woman wearing blue and pink and both held staffs. As the tablets crumbled they stood together, holding hands, but as they faded a tear fell down the woman’s cheek. She knew that they would soon be parted…perhaps forever…a sad story, but whether it is true or not I cannot say.” He finished as he looked down at Mahado, who was smiling at Mana as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
“And you think that Mahado and Mana are like those two from the story?” Atem asked thoughtfully as he looked down at his two long-term friends, who were looking about in confusion, “What? It’s raining! How can this be? The rains are not due for months yet!” Atem said in shock as rain began to pour heavily from the sky. Atem got over his shock and watched as Mahado and Mana began laughing, both of them standing in the rain holding each other close.
“Yes. I do think that they are like the pair from the story,” Seto replied as Mahado leaned down and kissed Mana,
“Seto…let us not destroy their happiness as others have done in the past.” Atem said,
“But Prince Atem! It goes against our laws!” Seto objected,
“I know, but some laws can be…over looked…if I am to be Pharaoh one day, surely I must make these decisions…decisions that will affect the lives and happiness of our people…I know Mahado. He is a dedicated man, he will not neglect his students and Mana would not allow it…if we turn them in we will lose both the most powerful magician in Egypt and the second most powerful. This would be a great loss to us…do you agree?” Atem asked thoughtfully as he looked down at Mahado and Mana, who had no idea that they had been seen.
“With all due respect, Prince Atem, when you are Pharaoh are you going to ask for the approval of every order you give? Make a decision and I will obey.” Seto replied. Atem sighed and looked down at the pair. This is the first order I will ever give…is it the right one? Or am I blinded because they are my friends? He thought,
“Very well…for now we will leave them, but if there is any sign of trouble in the magician ranks we will turn them in.” He decided,
“Very good Prince Atem. This way you cannot be wrong, you will serve your country well.” Seto replied approvingly. Atem gave him a grateful smile and they took one last look at the young lovers before going inside the palace.

“What is it Mana?” Mahado asked as he entered the dungeon to see a very frustrated Mana waving her staff at a chair. At the sound of Mahado’s voice she jerked round, almost sending the chair flying at him as she waved her staff,
“I can’t get the hang of this levitation spell! I’ve studied the book over and over it won’t work!” she complained as she waved the staff. Mahado ducked as the staff flew at his head and gently caught her arm,
“Alright! I understand, you’re frustrated; just stop trying to skewer me with that staff! You’ll get it eventually, just be patient and practice.” He advised as Mana sighed and lowered her arm. “Oh! I almost forgot! How’s the search for Bakura going?” Mana asked. She had never seen him, but she had heard that a well-known tomb thief had escaped the guards and had been seen in the area.
“No luck yet. Seto has gathered the best men in his ranks and gone to look for him with Shadda…I am concerned Mana…if Bakura should return then he will come after me. I am the one who ordered his imprisonment after catching him defiling the grave of an ancient Pharaoh…I do not fear for myself, but I can’t bare the thought of something happening to you.” He said worriedly as he took her in his arms. Mana leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes,
“I’ll be fine, but you take care of yourself, the concern goes both ways. If anything happened to you I don’t know what I’d do. You’ve always been there for me…I don’t want to be alone again!” she cried.
“I’ll be fine…don’t worry.” He replied as he wiped a tear that had fallen down her cheek. “Come on, we’ll go to the training ground to meet the other students.” He said as he released her and walked to the door. Mana followed him out of the palace where there were two white horses waiting for them.
Mana climbed onto her horse and waited for Mahado, who was talking quietly with Isis, who had come with a message. Mahado nodded gravely as he climbed onto his horse,
“The tomb thief is somewhere in the town…I don’t like this, he’s too close.” Mahado said quietly as they rode through the town to the walls that surrounded the city. Mahado signalled to the guards and the gates were opened.
“You mustn’t worry Master Mahado. I’m sure that Seto and Shadda will find him soon.” Mana insisted as she overtook Mahado, who watched her doubtfully, “Come on! I’ll race you there!” Mana shouted as she encouraged her horse into a gallop, kicking up a cloud of sand,
“Mana! That isn’t fair! You were in front!” Mahado shouted as he spurred is horse on until he was only a few feet behind Mana. “There’s the training ground!” Mahado shouted as they approached a long wooden fence where there were already a lot of horses tied up. Mana climbed down and secured the reins of her horse. “Students! Practice of the Flaming Strike will now commence!” Mahado shouted. Mana watched as the large group of young men pick up their swords and faced each other in pairs, all but one timid looking young man, who didn’t have a partner. He must be the twenty-fifth student, Mana thought as she looked at him,
“Student H’dar. This is Mana, my private student. She will pair with you.” Mahado announced as he approached the youth, who looked doubtful, “Don’t doubt your skill. Be confident, remember your teachings and you will do well.” Mahado assured as Mana stood in front of him.
“Master Mahado, what do I do?” Mana asked as she clutched her staff.
“This is a close combat attack, usually done with swords, however I believe you will do well enough with your staff. For this spell you must conjure fire and use your strength to send it at your opponent…watch those two, Tahiti and Ka’Mala.” Mahado instructed. Mana turned and watched two young men, who circled each other with normal steel swords, both sizing each other up. Tahiti, a young dark haired boy, swung his sword, which ignited and sent a long fierce flame at the other dark haired boy, who swung his sword as he dodged, sending another flame back to block the other, giving him time to evade.
“I’ll try…”Mana said as she gripped the middle of her staff. H’dar held his sword ready and waited for Mana, “Oh, I’m ready.” She said apologetically as she held her staff out in front of her. H’dar looked awkwardly at Mahado, who nodded confidently. H’dar looked back at Mana, looking for an opening, but Mana had left herself completely vulnerable to attack, she wasn’t in a defensive position at all. H’dar gripped his sword and swung, a long flame reaching for Mana, who began rapidly spinning her staff, which caught the flame, igniting the staff. Mana kept spinning the staff before turning to the side and forcing her arm so that it was aimed for H’dar, who gasped and jumped aside as the flame was sent back at him with twice the strength since Mana’s flame had joined with his original attack. “Was that alright Master Mahado?” she asked,
“Yes Mana, that was very good, and H’dar, you have excellent reflex action, but remember when you are faced with a staff the rules of combat change. A staff can be defensive from many positions; do not underestimate your foe. You looked at Mana and saw many gaps in her defence because she held her staff in front of her, seemingly leaving herself open, but as you saw, the staff has a different defence. I would advise you to get in close to attack. Staffs are made for distance attacks, their advantage is lost if you get in close.” Mahado instructed, receiving appreciative nods from the rest of the class, who had stopped to watch Mana’s defensive attack.
“Yes Master Mahado, I am sorry.” H’dar apologised,
“Nonsense, as your first staff opponent it was a valiant try, but I want you to study her movements closely this time.” Mahado replied as he stepped back. The rest of the class remained in a circle and watched as H’dar crouched, his eyes set in a concentrating glare. Mana fixed him with a stare and met him in a crouch. Mahado watched with interest as Mana leaped out of her crouch and charged, swinging her staff sending a flame at H’dar, who dodged and swung his sword as he leapt past her. Mana spun her staff, barely blocking the flame, but when she was about to send it back she felt something catch on her staff, disrupting her, “Very good H’dar! You got in close and stopped her defensive counter, very impressive. The rest of you remember this moment! You will all be faced with staffs and spears in the future! You must be prepared!” Mahado shouted to the rest of the students, who nodded in agreement, “I want you all to practice before the next lesson, and all of you be careful! Bakura has been seen in the city! Travel in groups if you can!” he warned.
“Wow! That was great!” Mana said enthusiastically as she skipped alongside Mahado as they went to their horses. Mahado nodded as he climbed onto his horse,
“You were better than expected, a natural fighter.” He complimented. Mana laughed as she turned her horse towards the town and set off at a trot,
“That’s me!” she laughed.
“Mahado!” Karmim shouted. He was another priest, keeper of the millennium scales. His dark hair reached his chin and he wore two gold armbands. He stopped his horse as he reached Mahado’s side, “Bakura’s men have attacked the eastern wall!” he shouted.
“Mana! Go straight home! H’dar! Go with her!” Mahado ordered. H’dar, who had just mounted a dark brown horse, nodded and fell in step beside Mana while Mahado and Karmim rode off at a gallop. Be careful love, Mana thought as she watched Mahado getting further away.
“I’m sure Master Mahado will get rid of them.” H’dar assured her. H’dar was the youngest student of the boys, he was Mana’s age, sixteen, with short brown hair a lot like priest Seto. “You were amazing, I’ve never seen anyone with your skill, except Master Mahado of course.” He added,
“You haven’t been in a battle yet have you?” she asked. He shook his head, “I didn’t think so. I’m nowhere near as good as the real warriors.” She said.
“Of course not! We’re all still students! But one day you’re going to lead us, I know it!” he replied. Mana fell silent as they passed through the gates of the town and left their horses at the palace.
“I’ll walk you home. Master Mahado would never forgive me if I didn’t.” H’dar insisted as he took her arm and walked with her towards her small house.
“Thank you…it was quite a walk, why don’t you come in for a while?” she offered as she walked inside, the darkness quickly growing. She heard someone step inside and felt herself slammed against the wall, “H’dar! What are you?” she asked, but when she looked at his eyes she knew that it wasn’t him, his eyes were blank. He’s being controlled! She realised as she screamed and tried to break free.
“Get off!” a voice shouted. Mana saw H’dar thrown across the room where he lay unconscious. “Are you alright?” a slightly rough voice asked. Mana looked up and saw the young man from the roof. He was quite handsome up close, his snow-white hair enhanced his well-muscled brown skin, and the only imperfection was a scar on the right of his face,
“Oh, thank you, thank you so much!” Mana said gratefully as she looked at H’dar. “Will he be alright?” she asked,
“He’ll be fine when he wakes up, but you really should get rid of him if he’s beating you.” The man advised, making Mana blush,
“He’s not my partner, just a boy from my class who walked me home. My Master had to leave at the end of our class to defend the eastern wall from Bakura’s men.” She explained. The young man nodded in understanding and leaned against the wall.
“I see…you shouldn’t be so trusting in future.” The man advised,
“Wait! Who are you? At least tell me that, so that I know who it was that saved me…” Mana insisted,
“My name is Arukab, a simple peasant who just happened to be passing by, no thanks is needed.” He insisted as he walked out of the door,
“Well, if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to ask!” Mana called as he walked away. What a trusting young fool! My revenge on Mahado will be so much easier now that I have gained her trust! Bakura thought as he walked away.

“Mana? Are you awake?” Mahado’s voice asked gently. Mana leapt off her bed and threw the door open, restraining herself from throwing herself into his arms. Mahado entered the small house and Mana closed the door, “What happened here?” he asked as he caught sight of a very frightened H’dar, who was tied up and gagged in the corner of the room.
“He just suddenly went strange, I think someone had him under mind control! His eyes went blank and he attacked me!” she explained as Mahado knelt down beside him and pulled the gag off,
“I understand the rope, but was it really necessary to gag him too?” Mahado asked as he untied H’dar.
“Mana, I am so sorry, I just…couldn’t stop.” He apologised,
“No one blames you H’dar, just stay still.” Mahado instructed as he raised the ring and touched H’dar’s forehead. The ring glowed slightly and Mahado lowered his hand, “I have erased the influence, it won’t happen again. Now go home and don’t worry.” Mahado said as he helped H’dar to his feet and walked him to the door, “Go safely.” Mahado called as he shut the door, “I knew it! Bakura has begun to target my students! We were just lucky that it was you and not one of the others, if it had been one of the others I would never have known…he would have taken over my students one by one!” he cursed.
“I was just lucky that someone heard me on the way by.” Mana replied as Mahado put his arms round her,
“I’m so glad you’re safe.” He sighed.
“I guess you’ll have to leave…you can’t stay the night…can you?” Mana asked hopefully, but Mahado drew back,
“No Mana. I must return to the palace.” He sighed. Mana looked at the floor sadly, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He added as he kissed her cheek gently, but Mana lifted her face and kissed his lips, sighing as his tongue entered her mouth. Mahado took her wrists and pinned her to the wall, their kisses becoming more urgent. Mana felt his kisses moving from her lips to her throat, “No! We can’t do this!” he said suddenly as he released her wrists and stepped back.
“I know…we should be married first…” she sighed.
“One day, I promise you, I’ll make you the happiest bride the world has ever seen.” He vowed as he kissed her and walked to the door.
“Good night.” She said as he closed the door.
