Approaching the palace, she sees the doors closed and guarded, "I demand entrance now!" she yells, walking briskly.
"Priest Seto instructed no one to enter."
"This priest Seto can kiss my ass. Now move before I draw my sword." she turns the sheath and poises as if to draw it.
"Y-yes miss!" one of the guards pulls the door open and ___ walks through. She starts jogging through the halls, 'where the hell could they have taken him...' she thinks fast and sees a servant girl.
"You there!" she points and the girl looks up in fright, "Did some guards come by with a prisoner?"
"Ah, y-yes." she casts her eyes down.
"Where did they take him?"
"T-to the pharaohs throne room."
"Take me there."The servant girl had left her when they were close enough for the guards to spot them, "Guards!" ___ yells and they stand at the ready, the open doorway of the throne room behind them, "I demand you let me through!" she walks up closer and the guards block her way with spears. Between the spears she can see 6 priests and two guards, behind them the Pharaoh, "Pharaoh!" she yells, standing just in front of the spears, "How dare you judge my men without informing me!" the Pharaoh looks taken aback.
"Guards stand down. Priests halt the judgement." the spears lower and ___ rushes in to stand in front of her crew mate.
"I demand an explanation!"
"Priest Seto I had told you to inform her, and that the judgement was not to happen until she was present." he stands, walking down the stairs, "Did you lie to me when you had said she told you to go through with it.""My Pharaoh, I knew that this would happen and that a fuss would be made and saw no need to-"
"No need to inform me of my own crew member being arrested? He is not your citizen, you have no right to judge him under law without telling me." she steps forward with her left foot from a fighting stance, "Tell me reasons as to why he is here now." she looks the priest directly in the eye.
"Him and the other were caught trespassing on temple grounds."
"I had sent my men to the market, instructing them on how to get to the trading post. They perhaps made a wrong turn."
"The temple is a long ways from the market."
"These are brutes, not scholars. They aren't smart.""Priest Seto she is correct." Atem steps forward more, closely watching ___'s body language and her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"M-my lord-"
"Enough, let that man go." Atem commands, and ___'s crew mate stands up.
"Goyle, get your pasty ass back to the ship before I take your other leg." ___ growls and a small 'eep' is heard from the man.
"Guard escort him to their ship." the Priest Seto says, and a guard bows following the man. __ lowers her guard and lets go of the hilt of her weapon. She moves another step,
"Pharaoh, what is so wrong about my men trespassing on a temple? They are foreign, and dumb. They are more clueless than a new born child and yet your priest saw need to-" ___ wobbles a bit, the pounding in her head increasing, "-to bring him in for judgement?"
"I sincerely apologize, on behalf of priest-"
"I don't want an apology on behalf of." she coughs slightly, the light headed feeling increases with the pounding in her head, "I want an apology on your own behalf--" she looks at the priest, though his face is slightly blurry, "-- and on your behalf."
"You have my apology, miss." Seto bows. she nods to him and looks at the Pharaoh.
"My sincerest apology as well."
"Thank you." she nods, turning to leave. As she does she falls to one knee, her back to the Pharaoh, panting slightly she struggles to stand again.
"Are you alright?" Atem says with great concern, stepping forward to assist, but one of the other priests steps in first.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she stands. Only to fall once again, this time onto her side.
"You do not appear fine." Atem says stepping forward, the priest that helped before checks her."She's unconscious sir, and extremely warm." the priest says, looking wordily the Pharaoh starts barking orders.
"What are you waiting for! Priestess Isis please call for my healer, Shada remain with her." He turns to his advisor, "Siamun go get a servant to fetch some cold water." he turns back to the guards at the door who look worried, "You two, follow me and bring her to a room." he walks briskly, his deep blue cape flowing behind him.
"Sir they cannot lift her while she has her weapon." the priest Shada says.
"Then get Karim or Aknadin to take it." they take the sword from her belt and hand it to priest Karim, who looks to Aknadin.
"Pharaoh." Aknadin says solemnly.
"What!?" Atem snaps.
"Her sword has a Millennium marking." and the whole room freezes.
