Maybe I’ll end it this chapter. I’m not good with long
epics…
Does anyone even bother to *read* this fanfic? Because if
not, I shouldn’t bother posting it! Really.

Chapter 5
Akunumkanon
was nervous. It had been exactly three months since he had sent Atemu off as a
sacrifice for the good of Egypt, and now his son was returning. It seemed that
the King’s brother-in-law had assassinated him and thus, did not want the
prince anymore.
Who would
want a sullied noble?
And
Akunumkanon was worried about his son… rumor was that Asen treated his ‘wives’
harshly. He had no desire to see… and yet as the procession neared, he felt
strangely afraid of what he would find…
The
curtains to protect the prince from the sun had been drawn open as the bearers
laid the sedan down. Akunumkanon’s breath caught as Atemu stepped out. His
first thought was that the boy had finally grown a few inches taller. The
second…
What had he
done?
His’ son’s
eyes were completely glazed over, glassy and dull, devoid of anything that
might resemble life.
Oh Ra…
Mahaado
watched from his vantage point, curled about Atemu’s shoulders. A lovely cobra,
black as night…
< Your
father seems disturbed. >
<
Excellent… >
< I
know, isn’t it? > Yami asked as he brushed fingers along smooth scales.
Mahaado hissed softly, but said nothing else.
Perhaps now
Akunumkanon would realize what might have been, and what had been….
Seto
watched Yami with a smirk. The Prince was tainted, Crown Price or no. Would
they really allow such an impure being to rule Egypt?
Speaking of
which… there was something had struck him as being a bit odd. No one had seen
Priest Mahaado for almost four months…
True, his
duties often took him away from the Palace and into the Valley of Kings, but
even so…
Something
felt wrong… and not only with Mahaado, but also with his apprentice… a brush of
wrongness…
Perhaps
they had spent too much time in the Shadow Realm. That was all… the man had
looked rather drawn and ill…
There was
nothing to fret over, nothing at all.
The Prince was quietly escorted to his
chambers, the Pharaoh in no mood for festivities. He stared dully into his wine
as the musicians played and the girls danced, tossing their shimmering veils
over their shoulders with bold winks.
His Queen,
his Great Royal Wife, Isis bless her soul, had died long years ago, and perhaps
it was wrong of him to not have taken other, lesser wives…
And his
poor son, what would become of him now?
Akunumkanon
was not an old man, but over twenty years of ruling had sapped his spirit
greatly. He was too kind to wield shadow…
< Father
is weak. > Yami said, as he watched Mahaado shift back into human form. <
Was it tiring? >
The older
teen shrugged, brushing his long purple bangs out of his face. < Not as I
would have feared. >
<
Wonderful… > Yami smirked as the air around them darkened. < Father knows
not the true power of the Shadow Realm. Shall we? >
Mahaado
brushed his lips against the offered hand with a half-smile.
“What do
you mean you do not know where my son is?” Akunumkanon raged in impatience.
Forgive the Pharaoh he was having a horrid day… the guards trembled and did not
say another word.
It was not
as if Yami would have jumped off a balcony, but…
He was
still quite worried about his only heir!
However,
considering Yami’s condition, it might be some time before… the coronation
could take place…
At least
now they had the treaty, but had the price been worth it?
What was
Yami now, but a soulless doll?
“It will
only take a bit more to push him over the edge.” Yami whispered against
Mahaado’s chest, lips tinged red with blood. His sharp canines glittered
slightly.
“Yes…”
Mahaado whispered breathlessly, although whether he was referring to
Akunumkanon or another situation was unclear.
The Prince
studied his friend and decided that perhaps a touch of mercy would help.
“Lovely.”
Mahaado bit
down on his lip to stifle the scream, but Yami shook his head. “Scream for me.
Please?”
He could
never deny his Prince anything….
Akunumkanon’s
head snapped up at the sound of a thump. Hurriedly, he ran down the hall…
Only to
find Yami there, obviously alive and well, with High Priest Mahaado holding the
Millennium Ring before them as a protective barrier. In front was a horrible
slimy tentacle monster… oozing black slime?
Still,
whatever it was, it wasn’t friendly!
Mahaado’s
eyes blazed golden with power – strange, Akunumkanon had never noticed it
before, but the mage must have gotten stronger…
Of course
the Priest would have, now that he had the Millennium Ring…
He’d
instructed Mahaado to keep an eye on his son in enemy lands, but it seemed that
the priest had failed.
How unfortunate.
He would have to be punished. Perhaps he would lose his title and the Ring…
Still, that
was for later. For now, the health of his son was at stake!
The monster
lashed out against the shield, but it seemed to hold. Mahaado smiled as he drew
a shimmering shape in the air with his hands, it solidified…
Illusion,
probably, Akunumkanon decided. With a flash, an interlaced circle of dark magic
sprang up, binding the beast tightly. It tried to move, the more it struggled,
however, the harder it shivered and finally it withered into itself, growing
smaller and smaller… Mahaado shouted another word in arcane language and there
was a bright flash of red light.
Dust
glittered on the ground. The Monster gave one horrible last squeal and died.
Dust to dust….
The Prince
seemed more alive now, although his eyes glittered with pain. “Mahaado…”
“Are you
injured in any way, my Prince?”
Yami shook
his head, but as his eyes lit upon his father, he gave a cry of pain and hid
behind the Priest again, shaking miserably. Mahaado carefully took off his
white cape and wrapped Yami in it, and although he was silent, Akunumkanon
could feel a pulse of strong anger directed at him…
What had
happened? More importantly, what had he done?

Yes…
Okay. Dark! Yami? Er, Yami is dark. And remember,
there’s no Yugi here. *Cackles* and really, I don’t think Mahaado would ever go
against Yami… so…
