Between Time (Pharaoh Atem X OCReader)

The Nameless Pharaoh

⚜️Pharaoh Atem⚜️

My father is dead.

I was told this morning early by my father's advisor Simon.
My stomach was in knots as I immediately felt bile in my throat and vomited on the floor.

Days went by and I felt numb.

He was gone.

I felt sickened with grief. Not even making love with the concubines seemed to satisfy me. I hadn't felt a sense of peace since I was a child as my father had grown weak and sick in the passed year.

My audience consisted of 7 millennium guardians priests my father assembled to guide me to keep peace in Egypt. My head was spinning it had only been days since we laid him to rest. And I was now being crowned king of Egypt.

Simon warned me that I mustn't show any type of moarning or saddness as I was a king now. I had to be the strong one for my people.

But it was my father. The only thing I had ever come to love.

"Pharaoh Atem my king, I must tell you there is strange activity going on south of the city"

Seto the holder of the millennium rod was always quick to tell me anything. He seemed more observant, and responsible then any other in my assembly.

"Ah, mahad, please send some of your men there to observe and look into it"

I directed attention to my dear friend, he had been like a big brother to me, and was the captain of the guards and the holder of the millennium ring.

Seto glared at mahad "he's incompetent sire, you cannot trust him to get this done let me investigate"

I held my hand up "fine, you two work it out. Tell me promptly what you find"

They both bowed before heading off.

I pressed my fingers to my temples. I just wanted to be alone, I just needed sometime to readjust.

"My king, you look faint you should go rest now, we will handle things"
Isis spoke motherly she was holder of the millennium necklace, and had a sense of what was to come. She was right I agreed and headed off to my quarders....my father's old quarders.

Strange to call this room my own, I spent much time playing with my father here, sometimes sleeping with him when I was small, my mother had died giving birth he was all I knew I had mahad and his sister Mana but they were only allowed to play sometimes as they had responsibilities of their own.

I layed on the fresh new bed, I refused to keep the one my father died in.

My head was pounding.

I don't feel ready to be a pharaoh. I still feel...like a child compared to how my father ruled.

I threw a pillow over my head wanting to scream.

My father would tell me that one cannot prepare to be king he can only be a king. I know the pharaoh's festival was coming up to officially announce my crown. People from the city would be there our Ally's. I wasn't mentally ready for this.
