      A week happened, and a pack of people running around the palace preparing for the Bast statue to go to Bubastis. "Oh come on why do we have to go there!" Sekhmet whined. "We won't we will act like we are sick and we will go look for Aya once they're all gone." Morgana told Sekhmet as Sekhmet jump in glee in her spirit form. The lions shifted from their bed to the floor sensing Sekhmet's spirit move. "You made them look at you." Morgana told her and she stopped jumping and looked at the lions. "Lazy bums." Sekhmet said as she turned her back to them as they just seem not to care. "So I'm guessing you're letting me free with your body with a bit while we find Aya?" Sekhmet smiled like a Cheshire Cat. "Yes you can rip out guards since I can't do anything with me being in this humanistic state." Morgana rolled her eyes. "You wanted a child then deal with it." Sekhmet retorted. "You mean we since we want to control both kingdoms." Morgana told Sekhmet as she rolled her eyes. "You're right you won this time but next time... at least we don't have to go the festival I'm thrilled getting dirty." Sekhmet said happily. "We need to act fast you know the pharaoh and the prince probably won't stay long since the pharaoh is sick." Morgana reminded Sekhmet of their task. "Right did the girls deliver the letter to Atem's guards?" Sekhmet looked at Morgana as she arranged her hair. "That was taken care of since they had their day of and different guards guard Atem today and this week." Morgana explained. "Perfect." Sekhmet said disappearing. Sekhmet knew she needed to plan where was her vessel going to be buried though it would take years but she needed a tomb far away from Morgana's brother. Because according to Isis after transferring Seth into his body to save his life they might turn enemies. Since Seth was keen on he'd would be returning Sekhmet to the gods realm.
     Morgana arranged her hair to look nice but with a bit of a bed nest then laid down on her bed and cover herself with her sheets. Before she laid down she put a warm towel compress to warm up her forehead she also left it at the cheeks to make it seem she had a fever. She then closed her eyes and fake sleep while she waited for Atem to come inside the room to tell them they where leaving. "Morgana we need to go now are you..." Atem stopped as he saw Morgana's figure still in bed. "Morgana what's wrong?" Atem approached her and touched her forehead and cheeks to see they where burning and she had red cheeks. "Zira go get the healers!" Atem yelled. "My prince we already called them and they check her they say to keep applying wet compresses and give her medicine every 4hours." Zira said bowing as she changed the bowl. "Alright why wasn't I informed about this?" Atem said as he picked up Morgana's hand. "She didn't allow us your majesty she wanted to seriously go but she collapsed so we called the healers to check up on her." Zira explained. "She has a high fever don't worry after you're back she will be much better." Zira reassured. "Alright I leave her at your hands. Atem said worried not wanting to go but he knows his father will be angry at him. Atem left after kissing Morgana's hand and left with the pharaoh to celebrate for a bit the festivities. It took a while after Atem and the pharaoh to leave for Morgana to open her eyes. "Oh my I almost fell asleep." Morgana commented and Zira covered her mouth to stop her laughter. "Alright alert the girls wear your armor and I'm going to put mine on." Morgana said getting out of the bed. She then walked to the vanity and calmed her hair before turning to her armor. She took a deep breath then walked to put it on piece by piece. She put it on except the helmet she carried it. She put her sword on the holder then walked outside her room where the group waited with their armors on except their helmet. "Eva cast the spell so when anyone who see us pass see that we are using 'normal clothes'." Eva nodded as the queen requested and started casting the spell. As soon as she ended the spell she motioned to the queen that they were ready. Morgana walked around the palace till she got to the where the dungeon doors where located. She picked her hair up and place her helmet while her second and third in command Azra and Zander told the others what to do. Morgana drew her sword and called Sekhmet who as fast as lightning responded by taking over. "This is going to be fun." Sekhmet said as she licked her lips. She pointed her sword forward and her army attacked the guards. Sekhmet used the pact sword and slashed whichever guard was in front of her and used her claws to tear them open. It looked like an beast that was unleashed from its slumber. They descended the floors of the dungeon which more guards appear and the more violent Sekhmet and her people got. "Those prisoners dare to make a move kill them we don't need anyone running away." Sekhmet ordered while the girls stabbed or tore prisoners and guards apart. The guys took the lead making it a bit easier for the girls and Sekhmet even though it wasn't really needed. As they went to lower the levels the colder it seemed to get but that didn't matter to them the hype of the kill was greater. They passed a whole floor where there wasn't any guards and Sekhmet alerted the guys to be careful. She walked up to a frozen door where behind the bars you could see two people covered in ice. "Freya's parents locked here forever for following the forbidden arts and were Aya's parents followers." Alexa explained. "Hmph don't need those silly followers let's go we need to find Aya." Sekhmet voice darken as she moved away from the cell. They descended few more levels where even the light didn't dare to reach the corridor. Hardly lit corridors where passed and less guards were seen. "Hold up for being such a dangerous person why isn't there hardly any guards." Ivy asked. "Eva and Alexa throw a bait up head." Sekhmet ordered. The girls summoned a doll and threw it up ahead the little dance for a bit before was rip into shreds by spikes going threw it. "Traps lovely." Sekhmet said as she rolled her eyes. "Got anymore of those dolls with you? We need to set all those traps up." Sekhmet asked as she looked at the corridor. "Kuriboh multiply." Eva said as she used a DiaDhank. "Did you steal that from the prince?" Lavinia asked as she saw Eva used it. "He took it off when he visited our queen not my fault he did that." Eva said smirking through her helmet. "The queen doesn't seem to mind so why not Eva give it all you got!" Ivy said. "As long it will aid I don't care." Morgana and Sekhmet said as she walked through the traps like it was nothing since they were already activated.
     Meanwhile at Baset's temple the guardians felt someone using the DiaDahank. Seto, Mahad, Karim, Shada, and Aknadin stared at each other and looked around at the pharaoh, prince, and Shimon. "The prince his DiaDhank is gone!" Whispered yelled Isis at the other priest. The pharaoh noticed the priest acting up and then he felt it. The power surging from a DiaDhank being used. "Priest is something the matter?" Aknamkanon pretended he didn't felt anything. The priest paled because they didn't know how to explain this incident and in front of their people who where in the temple. "Nothing the matter my pharaoh." Aknadin bowed along with the other priest. The pharaoh turned to Atem who was enjoying the celebration and noticed his DiaDhank was gone. "Shimon please excuse me from my people." Aknamkanon ordered. Shimon bowed and clear his throat making the singers and dancers stop. "Please Excuse our pharaoh he needs to take a moment." Shimon announced. Aknamkanon rose from his seat and the people bowed as he stood up. Aknamkanon then walked to Atem and grabbed him by the arm and took him into one of the rooms of the temple where only few priest where. "Leave!" Aknamkanon said with authority drenching from his words. The priests and servants there scrambled out of their as fast as they could. Once they were gone Aknamkanon let go of Atem who was confused of why his father dragged him away from the festival. "How dare you Atem!" Aknamkanon yelled. "How dare I what father? I don't know what you are talk about?!" Atem defended confused. "Where's your DiaDhank Atem!" Aknamkanon yelled in Atem's face. "I... I had with me even when I visited Morgana..." Atem stopped mid sentence as he remembered he took it off to caress Morgana's face since it would disturbed him. "I knew it that little princess faked her own illness in order to gain your majesty's DiaDhank!" Aknadin yelled. Aknamkanon turned around to see the priest were with them. "Ugh I'll deal with you later." Aknamkanon yelled as he walked away from his son and went up to his court. "Men gather our soldiers we are going back if what I think of what's going to happen we need everyone prepared for war." Aknamkanon said angered of what he was thinking Morgana was doing. "But father you don't mean..." Atem was shut up by the pharaoh as he raised his hand. "If she plans to unleash who I think it is the plans of the wedding and arrangements are over!" Aknamkanon said while looking over his shoulder at his son. Atem ran after his father as they gather to leave. "You can't be serious father!" Atem yelled. "We will not be sure until we get there." Aknamkanon said as he got in his carriage. Atem followed him worried for Morgana's sake.
"Morgana this is the time we will only use this thing don't want unwanted attention from the pharaoh and the court." Eva said as she used her magic to activate the other traps. "Fair Enough we don't want to be accused of treason just yet." Sekhmet said as she walked ahead. They seemed to gotten to the deepest part of the dungeon and the last floor. There was a giant door that lead to the cell where Aya was held. Screams could be heard from there as they opened the door. "Welcome my queen I was excepting you." A voice was heard on the darkness. There was a flash of flames that seemed to be directed to a person who stood there chained up. "These awful mechanisms keep me from using my powers." The voice said a bit tired. "Aya the great magician who was damned by the pharaoh himself for her traitorous act against him and the kingdom." Sekhmet said smirking.
