Yugi had trek through the desert looking for a way into the cavern in which she'd fell. His heart raced it had been 2 days now, was she even alive? The beast had fallen with her.. would it just devore her? Was it dead? he sat staring at the fire his thoughts getting more and more twisted

"Hey kid" the thief king waved his hand in front of yugi's face

"knock it off!" yugi yelled the thief king pouted "you know he'll keep her alive,"

yugi glared at the thief king, he didn't want to think about that either what he would do to her alive. "you don't know him like I do"

The thief kings toned darkened "you know nothing then, I know him enough to want him alive so I can devour his filthy heart for myself!" the king sprung up "I cannot wait for that day I cut his throat and pull his heart from his ribs for what he did to my people"

Yugi's eyes picked up "your people?" The kings excitement saddened "yes...." his eyes now dimmed like the withering flame "he came from the west, swift with the power of a hundred men, my people were monks, farmers good, hardworking people.. who worshiped these wastelands. they brought life back into this desert." he paused "but when word broke that he..was now the pharaoh the elders told the people of their greatest weapon."

-----------------------------------Flash back--------------------------------------------------------

"what do we do great elders the shepherds spotted men on the horizon"

The eldest of the elders raised his hand, "Peace, we mustn't get discouraged we have the The eye of the sun! as long as we thrust it into his heart we can pierce the wicked beast within"

the people began to murmur to one another anxiously the elder frowned "who here is brave enough to be given such a difficult task"

The crowd stood silent until a rugged young man with white hair stood before the elders his eyes wild with interest

A young man raised his hand, "I will, I will take the eye of the sun and piece this wicked heart"

The elder furrowed his brow he hesitated a moment before placing the weapon into the mans hands

"do not fail us, or great evil will come and devour all of egypt"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi's eyes grew wide "you mean to tell me that there's something out there that that can kill him?" yugi clasped his hand over his face his blood began to boil

The king snickered "you really are a fool arn't you?"

"YOU?!" he shouted "how- What! how did you get you hands on such a thing? where is it now?" you grabbed the thief king by his collar

The king smirked gently waving away yugi like an annoying fly

"I was a fool! I was filled with greed and thought I would be powerful! I had the eye of the sun! I kept and hid hoping to make it out, hoping he would leave once he realized it was missing"

"Missing? you mean he wanted the eye of the sun?..but why would he want that" yugi pondered

The theif king eyes met yugi "When I watched him slaughter my people without moving an inch, when I saw the hatred glow from that mans eyes" he started to laugh wickedly "I wanted that power for myself, I wanted him to suffer The satisfaction of watching me kill her is all I-

Yugi's Fist hit the kings cheek knocking him into the sand

"Don't you dare! don't you dare touch her!"

The thief king laughed "what use are the both of you! I told you, I want my revenge, he fell right for my trap"

Yugi lunge at the king his hands wrapping around the thief kings neck "Where is it! Where is the eye of the sun you bastard! I won't let you kill her for your sick revenge!"

One night earlier:

The dark sky began to fill the sky is felt my body shiver.

"How-how arnt y-you c-cold" I stammered. The silence was edging me more and more into frustration his gaze distracted by the dark horizon now.
"Ah, yes..." He stood over me a moment my body trembled from the cool chill and frailness I had felt since I collapsed.
His arms wrapped around me firmly. Pulling me to him.

"is this better?"

I sneered "no I hate you!"

The pharaoh chuckled a moment before gripping my face slowly lifted my head upward to the sky

"Look there, do u see it?"

the sky was so dark now you could see nuuts beautiful belly of stars each star represented another place. A beautiful heaven lay on each star atleast thats what the stories say.

"There" his firm grip on my cheeks caused me to wince he pointed to a star slightly more red then white, it was strange, but it shined brightly.

"what about it" I said disinterested trying to force his grip from my face

he softend his grip and gently pulled the hair away from my ears

his lips leaned into my hear and his voice spoke warmly

"when I was a boy, my father told me I was cursed with a great power, a power only the greatest of the gods granted to a brother pained by loss and betryal, He said I would conqure these lands, and grant those worthy all their greatest desires. He said I would embody the god himself, the god of chaos"

My heart sank that would mean,
The story of the brothers, the evil in egypt that would mean all the stories all the rumors....that beast...

His body grew closer to mine, his breath steaming on my neck

"I am Atem, Son of Seth the god of power, doom and suffering"
