“Mahado. This is a most serious matter. You know that it is forbidden! If it were my decision you would be punished, but Prince Atem has decided otherwise. Remember this.” Akunumkanon scolded as Mahado knelt beside his bed with Atem standing to his right.
“I understand Pharaoh. I am grateful.” He replied humbly, feeling a hand touch his shoulder. “Get off the floor…you have been here long enough to stand as an equal…well, almost equal.” Akunumkanon said gently. Mahado got to his feet and bowed, some of the nervousness leaving his face. In the background the rest of the priests were assembled for the vote. “Allow Mana entrance.” He said to Karmim, who bowed and opened the door, allowing a very nervous Mana to walk into the room. She walked to Mahado’s side, subconsciously finding his hand and gripping it tightly. “Atem. Speak.” The Pharaoh ordered. “Yes father. It is my decision to allow this relationship to continue, only to be stopped if it affects their duty to their kingdom, but my father believes a vote should be taken, so all who are in agreement with me raise your right hand.” Atem ordered. Mana found herself holding her breath, not daring to look round and she felt Mahado tighten his grip on her hand slightly. “So it is decided. Mahado and Mana, you may continue.” Atem announced. Mana released her breath and glanced at Mahado, who smiled back at her. “Now my father needs his rest.” Atem said. “Mahado, Mana, wait.” Akunumkanon ordered. Mana looked at Mahado nervously as the rest of the priests and Atem left the room. “Calm yourselves…I will not last much longer I fear…my son will soon succeed me as Pharaoh. Of all the priests…and students, you two are the most trusted. When my son takes the throne there will be many problems…I need you both to be ready…Bakura’s plan, whatever it is, will unfold after my time…it will be up to my son to stop him…and up to you…please…don’t fail him.” He said pleadingly. “Pharaoh, we will do as you ask. Bakura’s plan will not succeed while I draw breath!” Mahado vowed. Mana nodded confidently and smiled, “Of course we’ll help! Atem is our friend, what kind of friends would we be if we left him standing alone when he needed us most?” she said. The Pharaoh smiled in satisfaction and settled down, “Thank you…you may go…” he said as he closed his eyes. “Come on, I have the horses waiting.” Mahado whispered as they walked down the stairs to the hall. Mana followed him to the gates where Isis was waiting with their horses, “I should have guessed that you would know.” Mahado said as they approached, “Yes. Go swiftly my friends.” she replied as she bowed. Mana climbed onto her horse and waited as Mahado joined her, “Many thanks Isis.” Mahado added as he bowed his head to her. She smiled and watched them ride away. “Where are they going?” Seto asked as he appeared at her side. “Hm? Oh, they have some business in the next town. They will return before nightfall.” She replied as she walked back to the palace, receiving a suspicious glance. “Guard, get me a horse.” Seto ordered.“Now?” the priest said in shock, “Can’t you wait for tomorrow?” he asked incredulously, “Unfortunately no. Today may be our only opportunity.” Mahado replied, receiving a suspicious look from the priest. “Please sir.” Mana added pleadingly. The priest looked at her and sighed in defeat, “Very well.” He replied. Mana barely concentrated on what was going on around her. She exchanged her vows with Mahado and listened as the priest spoke and then the ceremonial cup of water from the Nile was smashed and they were married. As she walked through the streets of this foreign town, so much like her home, she could hardly believe it, “We’re married.” She said suddenly, feeling a smile form on her face, “I can’t believe we’re actually married!” she added excitedly, feeling Mahado’s grip on her hand tighten. “Neither can I.” A voice said. Mana turned in surprise and saw Seto standing there with his arms crossed, though whether he was angry or not she couldn’t tell. “I watched the ceremony…touching…really, it was.” He continued, “Though, as one of your most trusted friends I am a little insulted at not receiving an invitation.” He said as he joined them, “We couldn’t tell anyone. Imagine the trouble it would cause if they found out.” Mahado replied, “You’re not going to tell any one are you?” he asked suddenly, but Seto merely sighed and looked at the ground, “Well, it is my sworn duty…and what you’ve done is against our laws…however, I fail to see how telling anyone would help our kingdom, in fact if Bakura attacks soon as we suspect then we will need both of you to defend our home, so I won’t tell anyone.” Seto replied, receiving a relieved sigh from Mana, “Just don’t do anything stupid. The last thing we need is for her to get pregnant and blow your cover.” He added. Oh no! I hadn’t thought of that! Mana thought as her legs collapsed beneath her. Mahado dropped beside her in concern and Seto joined him, “What is it?” he asked in confusion, “I-I never thought of that! After Bakura…what if I…what if he…I can’t have his child!” she cried as she put a hand on her stomach, fearing what may be happening inside. Seto looked away awkwardly as Mahado’s face went blank, “I didn’t think of that either.” He admitted as he pulled Mana to her feet, “But whatever happens I’ll be there.” he promised as he put his arms around her, “Now come on, we must return to the palace before we are missed.” Mahado said as he led Mana and Seto through the streets to the edge of the town where they had left their horses with a young groom. “Something’s not right…” Seto said as they rode through the desert, “What do you mean?” Mana asked as she rode beside him, but he merely shook his head, “It’s probably nothing.” He replied as the city came in to view in the distance, “We should hurry. Bakura’s men have been spotted out here and it’s getting dark.” He added as he quickened his horse. “Seto! Mahado! Thank goodness! It’s the Pharaoh! He’s dead!” Isis cried as they stopped their horses. Mana hopped lightly to the ground and left her horse, running into the palace quickly, “Mana wait!” Mahado called as he followed her. Mana stopped on the stairs and waited for him, “I know it’s not tradition here, but I want you to wear this. It belonged to my mother…or so I’m told. It was a gift to her from my father on their wedding day and I want you to have it.” He said as they walked. Mana felt him slide a ring onto her third finger on her left hand. It was a thin band of gold and as he held up his hand she saw one identical to her own, “I’ve decided to wear my father’s.” he added. Mana looked at the ring, it was a perfect fit. How is that possible? She wondered as she walked towards Atem’s room, “Atem? Are you in there?” she asked as she eased the door open. Atem was sitting on the edge of the bed, the feeling of grief not sinking in. “Are you alright?” she asked as she sat next to him, “Mana…I knew this would happen…I’ve been expecting it for weeks, but now that it has happened…it doesn’t feel real…nothing’s changed at all…” he said. Mana put a hand on his shoulder, noticing the millennium puzzle for the first time, “Well…I wouldn’t say that nothing’s changed. You’ll now be carrying that heavy thing for the rest of your days, and your orders will be official…” she added, receiving a small chuckle from Atem, “Yes. There is that. Thank you, you’ve cheered me up…I guess I should…I don’t know…do something, but what?” he wondered, “Things need to be organised Prince Atem. Your coronation, your fathers embalmment and burial…and Bakura, but he can wait.” Mahado said from the doorway. Atem nodded, “My father’s burial is in hand. The priests will meet seven days from now at the tomb to seal it for good…Mana, you will come also?” he said questioningly, receiving a nod of assent. “Good…as for my coronation…tomorrow I suppose.” He continued, “Mana, Mahado, you are two of my closest friends…I will need your guidance…I do not feel ready to take the throne.” He admitted, “What? But-but you’re already Pharaoh, not in name, but in spirit! You’ve been giving the orders for months!” she added, “You’ll be a great Pharaoh!” she encouraged brightly, receiving an agreeing nod from Mahado. “Thank you.” He said gratefully, “What are friends for?” Mana replied.
“How could he do that? Attack Atem at his own coronation! We have to stop him!” Mana stated, as she and Mahado stood alone outside the palace under their tree. Mahado nodded in agreement and took Mana by the shoulders lightly, “I will stop him Mana…” he promised, “No…you’re not…going alone?” she asked fearfully as his meaning dawned on her, “No, I’ll take the magicians with me.” he replied, “But I’m one of your best magicians. I should be there by your side, what if you…you said we were bound by fate now, so I should go with you.” She complained as he shook his head, “No. I need you here. If I fail the other priests will continue the battle in my stead, and I need you to stand by Atem’s side…there is also the point that your skills, though impressive, are not yet under control…you need to keep practicing, and my classes, they will need you too.” He argued, “But…what about you…you might need me.” She cried as she buried her face in his robes. Mahado put his arms around her and pulled her tightly to his chest, “Mana…I cannot force you to stay here, but I am begging you, please, stay here so that I know you are safe.” He said pleadingly. Mana looked up at him and then looked away, towards the pond where she and Atem had first met, “But…how will I know that you are safe? Please don’t leave me!” she cried, “Mana, I will never leave you…remember that.” He said as he lifted her chin and wiped her tears away.
The next week, after Pharaoh Akunumkanon’s tomb had been sealed, Mahado set off with his army of men and magicians. They knew where Bakura was; he was waiting at the tomb. Mana stood beside Atem, watching her master leave. Down below Isis approached Mahado and stopped him, “Mahado…I have seen the future. You will leave, but then return…I do not fully understand, but be careful!” she said. Mahado smiled at her appreciatively and looked up to the window where Mana stood watching him, “Master! Take me with you! I can help!” she called, but Mahado turned away, trying to ignore what she said. I cannot put my wife in danger, he thought firmly. “Mana, he’ll be fine. He has his full army of magicians with him,” Atem assured as he laid a hand on her shoulder, holding her back so that she didn’t run to join them. “If what you say is true then why do I feel so…” she trailed off as Mahado disappeared from view. She looked to the ground as tears fell down her cheeks,
“When we enter, let the rocks fall and block the entrance!” Mahado ordered as he walked to the entrance of the tomb to await Bakura’s arrival. He wasn’t waiting long as Bakura rode towards him. Mahado allowed Bakura to see him before running inside. Once Bakura entered there was a rock fall and they were trapped, “Now you will not escape! I will make you pay for your crimes!” Mahado shouted as he stood on the thin bridge that led to the inner chamber of the tomb. Bakura looked at the rock fall angrily before laughing at Mahado, “You fool! I am far more powerful than you know!” he declared as he summoned a monster. “I have listened to Mana crying in her sleep night after night because of you! You injured her in the worst way possible and I will make you pay with my bare hands if I have to!” Mahado shouted as he summoned a monster, “Illusion Magician! Come forth!” he ordered as the purple magician appeared. Mahado then released the power he had been holding back and a purple light surrounded his body.
“Mahado…what is happening? One of your monsters crumbles.” She murmured as she looked at one of the many stone tablets on the wall. He’s obviously summoned another monster…the Illusion Magician seems to be fine, but the other one must be taking some serious damage…it won’t last much longer, please someone help him! She cried inwardly, “Mana?” a voice asked. Mana turned and looked to the door of Mahado’s temple and saw Atem walking towards her. “I thought I saw the torches lit. What are you doing here?” he asked as he reached her side. She looked up at the crumbling monster worriedly, “I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep…if Mahado loses he’ll die! I can’t just do nothing!” she cried in frustration. Atem put a comforting hand on her shoulder, “You’re right, but what can we do?” he asked, “We can fight!” she replied as the tablet above them shattered, “No! Mahado! Illusion Magician Girl, go and help Mahado!” she ordered as she waved her staff, “Come on! We have to get to your father’s tomb! That was Bakura’s next target!” she added as she pulled Atem towards the door at a run.
“You’re finished Mahado! Your Illusion Magician is at my mercy!” Bakura mocked as the axes swung across the small walkway, trapping Mahado and his Magician. Mahado had activated the trap to kill Bakura, but it hadn’t worked. Mahado got weakly to his feet, his body no longer glowing. He had given his magician all of his power. Bakura’s monster was about to hit his magician when there was a blue light and Mana’s monster appeared, “Mana no! Get your monster out of here!” Mahado shouted, forgetting that Mana couldn’t hear him, “Illusion Magician! Defend her at all costs!” Mahado ordered, but the girl was already between his own magician and Bakura’s monster, “Ah! Mana’s monster! If I destroy it then I can enjoy her pain all over again, though it won’t be the same without her here…so I’ll wait for her arrival and then I’ll destroy her monster…I might even decide to take her again while she’s down! I found it most enjoyable last time! You can’t imagine the feeling of her writhing beneath me and her sweet moans begging me for more!” Bakura taunted, watching as Mahado’s rage refuelled his strength. “You serpent of Seth!” Mahado shouted as he launched himself forward, through the swinging axes until he was in front of Bakura. Bakura, who had thought the axes would finish Mahado off, gasped in horror as Mahado’s hands grabbed his throat and began to choke the life from him as they fell to the ground. “You deserve worse than death!” Mahado spat, “P-please stop! What-are-you-doing?” Bakura cried, suddenly very frightened and out of character. Mahado loosened his grip and looked at the frightened lost boy beneath him. This is no longer Bakura, but who is it? He wondered as he stood up, but as soon as he was on his feet the boy cried out in fear and Bakura was back in control, “You should have killed me when you had the chance!” Bakura cried as his monster attacked the Illusion Magician. The young girl screamed in grief as the Mahado fell to his knees, “The millennium ring is mine!” Bakura cried as he pulled the ring from Mahado’s neck. “What the?” he cried in surprise as a purple light filled the room. “I have merged with my Illusion Magician! I will stop you!” Mahado cried as he appeared wearing the purple robes of his magician. He aimed the staff at Bakura and disappeared.
“No! Master Mahado!” Mana cried as Atem stopped the horse. She put a hand to her chest and leaned on Atem’s back, “Mana! Your magician! Did she?” he began, “No, but I felt something.” She replied as she slid off the horse and stood by the pile of rocks at the foot of the cliff where the entrance to the tomb had been, “They must be trapped inside.” She said. Mana turned as more horses approached and Seto appeared with Shadda and Karmim. “Mana, look out!” Atem cried as he dived towards her, knocking her to the ground as a huge stone tablet fell from above. Mana got to her knees and looked at the tablet, “No! Mahado…” she cried as tears poured from her eyes. She looked at the ring he had given to her and clenched her fist. “You fool! You promised…” she cried quietly. Behind her she thought she heard Atem say thank you, but she didn’t know whom he was talking to. “His sacrifice shall not be in vain!” Seto said as he knelt down beside Mana. Mana barely registered his presence, she was still looking at the ring on her finger, “We should take her back to the palace…in fact we should all go. We need to make plans.” He added as he gently coaxed Mana to her feet. Mana stood as if in a trance, “Mana?” Atem said as he put a hand on her shoulder. Mana looked at the ground and saw her staff, leaning down she picked it up, “I’ll meet you at the palace later.” She replied as she walked away. Seto went to stop her as she walked further into the desert, but Atem laid a hand on his shoulder, “Let her go…this is her time to grieve.” He said.
“Mahado…can you even hear me? I’ll get Bakura for what he’s done if it’s the last thing I do…I promise.” She said as she knelt before the tablet, which had been placed in Mahado’s temple. She hadn’t expected anything to happen so she was content just kneeling on the ground looking up at the stone tablet. “Mana. What are you doing here?” Seto asked as he entered the temple. Mana dried her eyes and got to her feet, “I came here to speak to my master…I think he listens even though he can’t answer.” She added as she turned to the young man, “And you?” she asked. Seto shrugged and joined her in front of the tablet, “I was restless so I went walking and I saw the light…I suppose I was looking for companionship.” He replied as he looked at the stone image of his friend. “Well…I guess I could count for that…why were you restless?” she asked as she settled herself on the steps that led up to her master’s tablet. Seto hesitated a moment before joining her, “I just had a feeling that’s all. I felt a great evil stirring…Bakura is no longer trapped in the tomb…he will soon return here for more items. If that monster of his defeated Mahado then I am truly afraid. Mahado was the strongest of all of us; I am not ashamed to admit this…he was a great man…a man I was proud to call my friend.” He replied. Mana sighed and looked at Seto, the millennium rod catching her eye. If I want to get to Bakura I’ll need an item…I may not get another chance like this, she thought guiltily. She gripped her staff tightly as she looked at Seto, who was looking at the ground sadly, “Forgive me for this.” She said as she swung her staff and hit Seto over the head. Seto gave her a surprise look as he fell back unconscious. “When I get Bakura I’ll bring it back, I promise.” She added as she pulled Seto onto flat ground and covered him with his dark blue cloak. She took the millennium rod from his belt and walked to the door, “Guards!” Isis cried from somewhere in the palace. I knew this would happen, Mana thought as she ran down the temple steps and took Seto’s horse. “Mana, please stop!” Isis shouted as she rode towards her with one of her monsters flying along beside her, “I’m sorry, but I have to go. Seto’s inside!” Mana added as she called her magician to hold off Isis’s monster. Isis tried to position her horse so that Mana was blocked off, but Seto’s horse was so intimidating that Isis’s light brown horse jerked out of the way fearfully. Mana stopped by her house and allowed Seto’s horse to leave. Once inside she headed for the roof, where she could see for many miles around. Where are you? She wondered. “I knew you would come…you can’t resist me can you?” a cold voice said. Mana turned with her staff in one hand and the millennium rod in the other, “Oh, you’ve brought me a present! How thoughtful.” He mocked as he approached her. Mana looked at Bakura and felt herself freeze, her body shaking as he stepped towards her. Once he was in front of her he caressed her cheek gently and lifted her chin, “Did you return for a repeat performance?” he asked before he kissed her. Mana pulled back and stabbed forward with the millennium rod, hitting Bakura’s stomach. She watched in satisfaction as he doubled over in agony, “Shame. I meant to aim lower.” Mana said as she crouched down, ready to take him on physically. Bakura got to his feet and raised his arm to summon a monster, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid to face me on your own?” Mana demanded. Bakura froze and grinned maliciously, “What do I get if I win?” he asked as he lifted a long wooden pole into his hands, “What do you mean?” Mana asked curiously, “Well, I know I get the millennium rod, but what else do I get?” he repeated as he looked her up and down, remembering the feeling of her between his legs. “No, not again,” Mana replied fearfully, knowing what he wanted, “Well, then you had better win!” he cried as he dived forward. Mana hopped back onto the wall and swung her staff down, hitting Bakura’s back. “Mana!” a voice cried below. Mana glanced down and saw Seto, Atem and Isis, “Seto! Catch!” Mana cried as she threw the rod down to him. “Don’t even think about running!” she added as she blocked Bakura’s pole, but he just grinned maliciously, “Run? Without claiming my prize?” he replied as he tried to hit her again, frustration showing on his face as she dodged away. “Mana!” Atem cried as he appeared on the wall, “Get back! This is our fight!” she replied as she swung at Bakura, who blocked and swung his leg into her stomach. Mana doubled over and heard Atem running towards her, “No! Stay back!” she replied as she got to her feet. Bakura looked at her in surprise as she began swinging her staff in circles until a flame appeared. She swept her arm out and sent the flame crashing into his chest, setting his red robe on fire, “Trying to get me undressed already are we?” he mocked. Mana dived forward with her staff raised and felt Bakura’s pole rip through her stomach between her rib cages. She dropped her staff and felt blood choking her and trickling from her mouth, “Mana!” Atem cried as he ran forward. Mana looked into Bakura’s eyes and saw that he was surprised. He released the pole and Mana staggered to the wall, where her legs caught and she fell over the edge, “No! Mana!” Atem cried as he ran back to the stairs.
