A whole 2 years have passed since I ended up here, I had proved my worth to everyone, and even got to know them better. I spent most of my time in the garden, reading or playing games whine everyone was doing their duties, today seemed more busy then normal. I sat in the garden playing in the small pool they had when they needed to water the plants, I made funny faces in the reflections and laughed at my self, I had grown more out of my shyness from when I originally arrived, so if someone caught me, I wouldn't have minded to much. Just as I thought that, Mana appeared in the reflection smiling and laughing at me "What are you doing silly?" She looked at my own reflection "Just having fun, you need something?" I questioned turning around to face her "Yes. Priest Seto and Isis need you, they are in the throne room." She helped me up and started running to the destination.

Once in the throne room Seto and Isis could be seen talking in the middle of the room, "I got her!" Mana cheered happily as she pushed me over to them "Uh... Mana said you needed me for something?" I asked looking them in the eyes "Yes. Can you dance?" Isis asked kindly "Depeneds, what do you mean by dance?" I asked sheepishly "Like them." Seto pointed to a few belly dancers that were practicing in one of the rooms corners "I can do... something like that." I mumbled look in back at them "Good, you can make do then." Seto stated as he took his leave.

Isis explained to me, today was Atems birthday, and the main dancer had gotten sick and couldn't make it, so I was to take her place, I had free ran to come up with my own solo performance, due to me needing to dance alone. I browsed my phone since some reason I still had wifi and found a video with a lovely song and easy dance, it took me 2 hours to master it. When I had finished Isis came to my room to help me pick out an outfit. It felt weird to be in such "reveling" clothes but I practiced the dance with it to boost my confidence up.

Night had fallen and the party was in full swing, the dancers danced as people laughed and cheered and enjoyed the food and drink, Atem sat on his the on, his council stood around it, it was plain most of them were enjoying that everything was going smoothly. I stood outside the room, peeking in every now and again just waiting for my turn, I had taught Isis how to play the song on my phone, I hooked it up to my cat ear headphones that also worked as speakers. The music came to a slow stop as the dancers finished and bowed, everyone cheered once more, Atem clapped and smiled, that caused my mind to start panicking once more, what if I mess up? What if I have an outfit malfunction? What if the headphones down work? All these thoughts cam to me as Mana walked next to me and smiled "It's your turn. Go have fun." She took my hand gently and led me to the room.

All was silent in the room as I glanced around quickly, all eyes were on me, my nerves shot through the roof, I took a steady breath, took my stance and waited for Isis to start the song. It slowly began to play, the echo effect of the large hall worked beautifully with the music. I started the dance just as I practiced, my mind slowed as it started to focus on the dance, moving my body as taught.

Atems P.O.V

I had finished my business for the day and had gone for a walk to relax, I hadn't seen Mana or (Y/N) all day due to my duties, but Mahad had told me Mana was doing well and Isis told me (Y/N) was relaxing for the day, that eased my mind, knowing my friends we well and safe. I stood outside the balcony of my room staring down at my kingdom. It was a lovely sight to see, but I knew what went on down there, the cruel world beyond my palace walls, I was no fool, my people suffer, and I am no closer to helping them like I hoped.

Hours of looking and the sun had begun to set, a knock sounded through my room "Enter." I spoke "My king you are needed in the throne room." Seto spoke as his head showed from behind the door "Very well. Is it important?" I started towards the door "Not urgently important, but important." He stated calmly as he opened the door fully for me.

When we made our way to the room many people lined it's walls, "What is this?" I asked Seto "You have been working so hard, you have forgotten your own day of birth." Isis laughed sweetly "I guess it is my birthday, huh?" I laughed sheepishly "Thank you, I needed this." I smiled as I walked to my throne as the people bowed.

The party had started  and I enjoyed it immensely, I truly needed this. My eyes scanned as the dancer started their performance, they were graceful in there art, the colors of their outfits were easy on the eyes and added to their appeal. The music was nice on the ears as well and was a good choice.

I caught a glance of Isis moving behind a pillar and Mana had bounced to the entrance of the room, she was talking to someone before ever hand grabbed who ever it was, the dancers had finished just a few moments ago and left the floor as Mana dragged (Y/N) out from the hallway. My eyes widened at the sight, she looked lovely in her outfit, though the look on her face showed she was truly nervous maybe even scared. Mana had let go of her hand, spoke a few words to her and left. She stood there taking in the sight of the room before taking a breath and taking her stance, the music started up from somewhere, but not from the musicians, but behind the pillar Isis was behind, the music resounded through the large hall, I couldn't make out the words, but I didn't need to knkw them to enjoy the dance.

Her body moved with ease, and grace, she made the routine seem so easy, but I've seen dancers fail at moving with a cloth like that and still look good. Her turns were on point, her hair was down and formed her face perfectly with the dance as it swayed along her, my eyes never left her form as she danced. Neither did anyone else's.

Your P.O.V

I ended my dance on point and waiting to be yelled at, or cheered for. I made no mistakes as far as I could tell, but I'm not the audience, so they may have seen something I didn't feel. But just as I was about to run away in embarrassment everyone cheered, even the other dancers clapped for me. I felt my face grow hot with blush as Mana jumped down and hugged me cheerfully "You were so great!" She smiled "Thanks..." I mumbled trying to calm my blush.

As the party started up again I snuck behind the pillar and grabbed my phone and headed to the exit. I made my way through the halls phone and headphones in hand as the music became softer and softer "(Y/N)! Wait for me!" A voice shouted from behind me I turned on my bare heel to see Atem running up to me "Where are you going?" He asked as he came to a stop in front of me "I really don't know." I mumbled "How about we take a walk then." He started walking down the hall as I followed.
