Chapter 8

�� Akunumkanon
fell ill rapidly, as Aishizu�s vision into the past had verified Mahaado�s
spoken words. He summoned the High Priest to the chamber to give him his last
words.
�� Please�
take care of my son��
�� With my
life I will pledge so, Pharaoh��

�� Atemu was
waiting when he returned. Strange. Mahaado was used to calling him Prince, and
never even Yami, but for the Prince to trust him with his secret name�.
�� Ah, that
was worth something indeed!
�� You look
lovely.�
�� Mahaado
frowned. �Lovely?� He was still wearing his priest robes, the golden shoulder
guards and Hathor�s symbol, nothing special�
�� You always
look lovely.� Yami smiled. �Fitting, isn�t it?�
�� Mahaado
touched his headdress with a slightly confused expression, which shifted into
understanding.
�� Hathor was
Horus�s wife, was she not, my Prince?�
�� Such a
keen observation� and so fitting, Lust��
�� Mahaado
half-smiled. �So it would seem so, Pride��
�� Mana didn�t
look up from her carving of a female Ka. �You two� bore me.�
�� Such a
change had come over her, once she shifted. But it mattered little� in the
grand scheme of things, what Item would fall to her?
�� Mahaado
shot here a half-glare.
�� Tis your
own fault, you made yourself this way, Sloth��

�� Aishizu
would make a good ally, and none other held her divination as power� Karim was
perhaps too straight and loyal to bend into this realm of shadow, while Seto
and Akunadin would be disposed of quickly�
�� That was
the way the dice fell.
�� Which one
would Mana choose?
�� Apprentice
Mana��
�� She looked
up. Some servant-girl or the other was here� �Yes?�
�� High
Priest Aishizu would like to speak to you.�
�� Mana hid a
smile. �Very well.�
�� She
held no Millennium, no Sennen Item. Perhaps Aishizu had seen their future� now
that was interesting.
��
�� She stepped
down the hall to the High Priestess�s room and politely made her entrance.
Aishizu was waiting.
�� She held
out her hand expressionlessly.
�� You know.�
�� Yes, I
know.� Aishizu nodded. �And I know what I may become, but for the good of
Egypt� we all make our sacrifices.�
�� Mana � or
Sloth, as she preferred, smiled.
�� That�s all
I�m worried about.�

�� She saw the
Priestess�s expression shift into a malicious smile as the red stone
crystallized in her body, quickly� but unlike the others, she had been prepared
and would not fight the sudden change�
�� It was very
strange, life, sometimes�
�� I wonder,
Mana thought, what she�ll become?
�� But as she
gazed upon the face of the woman, she saw a strange tightening of the eyes and
a hint of� oh, yes, that emotion she could understand.
�� Envy�

�� Aishizu had
always been jealous. This just heightened it. She loved Mahaado. Mahaado loved
Atemu. He didn�t even notice her most of the time.
�� Now though,
did it matter?
�� Emotions.
Such an unnecessary creation��
�� Mana
half-smiled. �Come.�
�� Aishizu
took her hand, and with a strange smile, followed her. The girl was rather
beautiful, blonde hair and bright blue eyes� or they would be that shade, as
her Ka monster� they were all monsters at heart after all�
�� Surely, one
doesn�t deny such gifts�
��
�� Seto was
not a happy camper.
�� He could
understand cosmetic changes, but did Mahaado really need to dye his hair that
irritating lavender shade? And as for Mana, who in their land had blonde hair?
�� Frivolous
underlings!
�� Aishizu had
been even more distant lately, but she had prophesized that their current
Pharaoh would fall soon. Not that they needed a soothsayer, a look at the
hacking frail old man that remained as Pharaoh was enough to convince even the
most skeptical that he would not last long.
�� Shimon led
them all in prayers and the ritual sacrifices, but nothing seemed to appease
the Gods. Or perhaps, Pharaoh's time had finally come to an end.
�� It seemed
as though there were something inside the Pharaoh�s heart, eating him� until
there was nothing but a shell left.
�� How
accurate.

�� Mahaado,
how much longer will it take?�
�� The Priest
smiled at the Crown Prince. �Less than two weeks, my Prince. However, there
would still be the mourning period��
�� Thirty
days at least� another moon to wax and wane��
�� I
understand.�
�� Aishizu
nodded, before the Tauk lit on her throat in a blaze of golden light. The
others watched attentively.
�� It will be
much sooner� he clings to life but little� and the last thread is breaking as
we speak��

�� Well, that
was news of great value. The Pharaoh would live only a day more? Yami and
Mahaado shared identical glances of hate.
�� Aishizu
shuddered slightly. Even if it were faked emotion, the intensity of the stare�
Perhaps that explained their attraction, although like repelled like, or so the
saying went in physics.
�� She excused
herself and soon the evening meal was announced. Approximately halfway into the
dancing, the Pharaoh gave a hoarse cry and tipped over into his wine. Terribly
inelegant and distressing�
�� Of course,
what distressed the heart more was the realization that he was dead, not
moments later. The Healers plied their skill upon the corpse through the night,
but only a corpse remained when Ra rose with the sun boat to greet the dawn.
�� Foolish.

�� In a rage,
Akunadin nearly ordered all the slaves put to death, sure that someone had
poisoned his brother, but the guards were careful in their investigation and Mahaado
reported his observation not two days later.
�� There had
been no poison. The Pharaoh�s heart had simply ceased to beat.
�� How tragic�
�� Be as it
may be, the Prince Yami would be the new Pharaoh, as soon as the mourning
period ceased. Preparations were made for burial and time stretched on, four
moons rolling by like water.
�� There was
nothing left.
�� And Pharaoh
Yami greeted Ra on the first day of the sixth month�
��

End Chapter
Completed 10/9/05
Okay. Apparently it takes 70 days to mummify someone. And then
we add 30 days of mourning after that� so saying it was four months before Yami
became Pharaoh. What a long time�
Phantomness: Admittedly, I�m naming the seven homunculi
after the seven sins and each one will get an item eventually, now who to make
the others?

*Ponders*
And somehow, Akunadin and Akunumkanon are somewhat innocent
in this fic�
