Sands of Egypt

Journey into Town

Here you go the first one shot hope y'all enjoy it

Mana snuck about the palace halls, slowly but surely making her way towards the Prince's room while keeping out of the guards sight. She had a plan to take Atem into the village beyond the palace walls, in order to show the young prince how his people lived and to have some fun. Ducking behind a pillar she holds her breath as a pair of guards make their rounds in the hall that leads to the Prince's room.

Once the sound of their footsteps faded she interaction action. Hurting down the hall while making ad little noise as possible Mana reaches the door to Atem's room in record time. Without hesitating she quickly slips into the Prince's room and carefully closes the door behind her. Turning around she holds back a shout of surprise as she nearly jumps out of her skin. For standing but five feet in front of her was Prince Atem with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Care to explain the reason for sneaking into my room this tine Mana," Atem asks not sounding impressed nor pleased with his friend and servant. Mana having recovered from her shock simply grins brightly and hugs the prince with her usual enthusiasm.

"I've come to take you into the village," She whispers to Atem excitedly as she releases him from her hold and nearly bounces in place.

"The village, " Atem repeats his interest peaked as he uncrowded his arms and regards Mana openly. He had yet to be allowed into the village as his father and his six guardians kept saying it was too dangerous for the young prince. So the fact Mans stood here offering him a chance to go made his heart beat a tad faster with anticipation.

"Yes the village silly I found a way to get there without any of the guards noticing," Mana states cheerfully as she gives into her excitement and bounces on the toes of her feet. Atem's smiles at his energetic and expressive friend before a thought suddenly dawns on him.

"What about Mahad," He asks with worry and slight suspicion lacing his words. This causes Mana to freeze as she looks into her prince's eyes before smiling sheepishly.

"Mahad might have been the one to show me the way we'll be using to sneak into the village, " Mana states sheepishly as she scratches at she cheek with her left index finger. Atem just shakes his head with a sigh thinking he should have known. He imagines how his most loyal friend and faithful servant would react should he learn of Mana's plan. Looking back up at Mana he sees that she was now dejectedly looking at the floor.

"Well what Mahad doesn't know won't hurt him," Atem states with a small smile causing Mana's haze to snap up to his. The bright grin returns to her face as she nods eagerly before grabbing her Prince's wrist.

"Right now come on we're burning precious moonlight, " She states in an excited whisper as she drags Atem to the door before slowly opening it and checking if the coast was clear. Atem simply chuckles at his dear friends antics before he is dragged down the halls of the palace.

Escaping the notice of the palace guards was such a simple task Atem frowns and makes a mental note to make a few changes once he is Pharaoh. Since for now the lack of tight security was in his favor as it made it easier for him and Mana to sneak around.

Pulling the tattered headdress and rag like cloths tighter to his body Atem directs his frown to Mana. The girl was dressed in similar ratty clothing but didn't seem bothered by it one bit unlike Atem.

"Tell me again why we have to dress like this," Atem asks the displeasure of being forced to wear such garments clear in his tone as he picks at it with mild disdain.

"To blend in silly can't have people knowing we're from the palace and then tell the guards," Mana stated with a mildly irritated tone as she places her hands on her hips. She had expected her prince to understand the reason the clothes were necessary, as they were going against the Pharaoh's wishes and therefore could get in huge trouble.
