The Corrupt King

♒Desert Tragedy♒

The pharaoh pulled himself up from the cool floor. Bloody black tar oozed from the wound on his neck

he turned back to his assailant

Isis lunged at the pharaoh once more
his hand ripped through her ribcage clutching her heart

"I have no use for you and your sight"

he ripped it from her cavity cavity and devoured it.

his eyes now focused on the open palace doors he clenched at the wall peering out watching her ride away.

he covered his face

"what have I done..." he whispered

A cry of agony and rage beckoned through the palace.

The moon was bright in the night we escaped. I knew of an old tomb where we could stay far in the valley of the kings. Tomb raiders broke into it long ago stole everything but the mummy.

Yugi began to cough I sat him gently on the dusty floor of the tomb.

"I need to get something to start a fire, please hold on a bit longer"

living out in the desert for years after my parents died had taught me a lot about nature, and how unkind and unfair the world really is.

I quickly started a fire holding yugi up right
I took a small bit of my ripped gown and began to attempt to clean up his badly battered face.

"what did he do to you.." I said under my breath.

tears began to stream down my face as I looked over his wounds

"I thought you had just left there..you had just abandoned me there

All those months passing by I had grown so angry towards yugi. if only I had know he was being tortured and beaten.

his hand grabbed mine firmly

"please...just kill me" he begged

I shook my head

"No..I won't you just need time to heal"

he could barely speak his lips chapped and dried I brought some water up to his lips.

"I will make sure you pull through this.." I whispered pulling him closer

Few days had passed, each day I blistered from the suns harsh rays. looking for food and water. I didnt want to head toward the city as I had in the past.
The valley of the kings was vast, and full of dried food and wine for those in the afterlife. I began to search inside tombs I could break into, it had appeared the tomb raiders were mostly after gold anyways.

"by the gods this heat!" I mumbled to myself wiping sweat from my brow. I was pulling hard on a wicker sack full of food and drink. struggling as the sand burned my feet.
I collapsed in the exhaustion

"only a few more yards left."

I took a small drink of one of the wines bottles.

I rubbed my eyes a moment someone far in the distance one the edge of one of the cliffs watching. I chugged quickly.

tomb raiders..perhaps?

I began to move quicker knowing I had to make sure they wouldn't find us. tomb raiders were a bunch of nasty sorts.
as I slide down into the tombs shaft I looked behind me making sure they did not follow. no one was there, I started to think perhaps I was seeing things.
