🔱Pharaoh Atem🔱

She was gone...she had been done from my life for 365 days.

I made what would be called "love" to my wife now and the concubines

I was numb. My guardians frequently worried about me. I no longer laughed. My happiness my life had left me.

My wife now handled many things. Of course I was always there. If she we're and Egyptian she would make a good Egyptian queen. But her priorities were for Persia. She wasn't a loving and caring women. Quite the opposite cold with her own agenda. I despised her, yet she insisted keeping her duties to me, we made...love constantly so she would end up with child however nothing has happend yet. I couldn't handle....her with a child...I couldn't bare the thought. 

The days seemed to be getting darker

It was becoming too hard for me to keep going I drank until i could handle my emotions quietly. The Queen and my people wanted an heir. I knew how bad that idea was...that situation.. I felt bile creeping up my throat.

"My I speak to you my king"
Isis approached me I nearly jumped

"ye-yes what is it isis?"

"I sense a great evil heading toward the palace"

I leaned forward intrigued by this vision. 

I gestured her to continue

"Tell me of your vision Isis," I said sipping more wine from my chalice

She nodded
"The great thief king from the south will come for a vendetta and claim the thrown. He has passion, and intent for his claim. He shall take your queen as his own and you shall die.
But note your fathers dying breath that you my pharaoh shall not die but will be swallowed by the puzzles dark magic where you shall stay for an eternity"

Her vision was..unsettling though I felt numb. I picked up the puzzle around my neck staring at it its gold illuminated in the sunlight 

"So I shall....die? and forever be...intrapped in the puzzle my father gave me?"

Isis face twisted 

"yes...it was your fathers will"

I felt fire burning up inside me. Why would father had condemn me to such a fate?

"Atem!...You will be overthrown my king... Look at what you have become... A drunk, lazy..." She paused realizing she had slipped out of place. 

"My apologies...you aren't the once strong king you used to be...this is not what your father thou-"

I held my hand up to stop her and leaned back in my throne

nothing mattered now would I ever see...her again?

I could feel the tears weld up in my eyes. Each day I waited hoped she would return. We searched and searched for a body I knew she was alive...I knew she had returned home. I was so lost, confused why...what had I done to deserve such a cruel fate...did i truly deserve this?

I closed my eyes to push away the pain the idea of perhaps never seeing her again.

"When will this..happen"

Isis winced at the idea

"I sense it will happen within days"

I held my temples trying to find some level of solution. Part of me if not most wanted to lay down and die. I couldn't go another day without her. My best chance would to see her in the after life. But I couldnt just....

I let out a soft sigh before waving her away.

I needed to make preparations. I walked the long halls feeling the cool marble against my fingertips remembering many fond memories...

I found my way to the great balcony over looking the city quietly glowing torch. I needed to try...for my people,I needed to protect them.

I looked out over my city filled with regrets. 

I must fin-

The pain was unbearable I could hardly breathe.

A sharp pain threw into my body like fire as I fell on my knees. I touched my chest where a blade now rested.

"Pathetic....." I heard a voice in the darkness as I crumbled to the ground  blood poured out of the hole in my chest and my world became cold and dark, this...couldnt be the.....

...pathetic...
