The Reign of Yugi Muto

Chapter 7

Song: Centuries by Fall Out Boy

Yugi's POV

The plane landed in Cairo and we all got out. A few people dressed in Ancient Egyptian clothing meet us at the tarmac to load the cart with our stuff. I look up to see Marik guiding a beautiful white horse by it's reins. "Yugi, this is your horse. He was in the stables while your father was Pharaoh, but he wasn't your father's horse. I think he would fit with your personality better," he says. I walk up to the horse and he looks me in the eyes. Horses are very intelligent and generally bond with one person the most throughout their lifetime.

I place my hand on his muzzle. "Hey boy. You're a very beautiful horse. What's your name," I ask. "He's actually been nameless. Now that he's yours, you can name him," says Marik. "I think I'll call you Heba. You look like a Heba. Do you like that name," I ask while petting him. He nods in agreement and I smile at him. A few of the people come and inform me that the cart is ready. I nod at them and Ishizu comes up to me. "You ready for this," she asks. "I have to be don't I," I say with a smile.

She smiles back at me. I give Heba one more pat and walk around and get on him. He's a gentle lovely horse as he walks. We start heading off in a direction with me behind Marik and Ishizu and Joey, Serenity and the cart behind me. Some of the men have to walk and I feel bad about that, but they assured me that they were fine. I told them to inform me if they needed to stop for a bit. I am Pharaoh after all. We travel through the sands of Egypt and it reminds me of the last time we were here.

"Marik, Ishizu what did happen to that tomb," I ask knowing that they knew what I meant. "Well it collapsed, destroying the fake items and the God cards. We did an expedition to see if we could dig out anything out of there and we managed to get the fake Millennium Puzzle back. We were gonna see if you could do anything with it when we got to Thebe," says Ishizu. "I'll see what I can do," I say and Heba snorts. "Haha, you're doing a wonderful job Heba," I say patting his neck. "That horse has taken a better liking to you than anyone else that we have seen," says Ishizu.

"I wonder if I could work with the horse's at the palace. I have always loved horses," says Serenity. "Of course Serenity," I say. Marik nods. We see a city on the horizon and Marik and Ishizu stop. Marik motions to one of the men and they bring me the box with Atem's crown. "We would like you to wear it when we enter the city. It will show them that you are serious about your title and want to do what is best for the people of Egypt," says Ishizu. He places the crown on my head and it fits perfect. "You look just like him Yugi," says Joey.

I smile at him and we continue on into the city. At first we don't see any people, but then we find them all gathered around the palace gates. People turn to see me stride through on my horse. A little kid pulls away from the crowd and I stop my horse. He hands me an armband with an ankh on it. It looks like it's made out of solid gold. "Welcome to the city my Pharaoh," he says. "It's going to take some time getting used to that," I say. "Thank you," I say and the child returns to his mother.

We get to the gates  and I turn my horse to face the crowd. They all bow in respect and I place a fist over my heart and bow my head in respect to them. We then turn and head inside the gates where Ishizu and Marik guide me towards the stables. Once there, I get off Heba and give him a pat on the neck. "Hello my Pharaoh. I am Horus, the stable worker in charge of your horse," he says. "It is very nice to meet you," I say. "Likewise, now I will take your horse and have him fed and bathed before taking a long rest in his stables," he says. I nod in thanks. "Alright time to go to your chambers to change you into your proper attire," says Ishizu.

We go through the winding halls of the large palace. As were going, I am memorizing what I see and how to get to it. "How large is the palace," I ask. "It is one mile to the east and west wall. North and south is about half of that," says Marik. We reach a set of double doors with an eye of Horus on each door. "This is your chamber my Pharaoh," says Marik. I open the door to see a room much larger than even my living room at my old home. There's a bed at the base of some steps and a large walk-in closet on the side of the room with a dresser next to it.

A desk sits off to the other side of the room next to another set of double doors that lead to a balcony. I see a shelf with all the games that I brought with me. "All of your stuff has been brought here and put away. The desk is stocked with makeup, hair products, and stuff for any paperwork you bring back to your room. The dresser and closet have clothes in there already for you as well as some of the clothes that you brought with you," she says. "We need you to get dressed immediately," says Marik.

I walk to the closet and pull out a white shendyt with a gold belt and blue accent. I quickly change and find a pair of slip ons and walk out of the closet. Ishizu walks up to me with a few pieces of jewelry. She takes the crown off of my head and hands me a set of gold arm bands, bands to go around my calves, a neck band, some bracelets, some clip on earrings and finally the Millennium Puzzle. "There and now you seriously look like him. Oh one final touch," she says and places the crown back on my head and positioning my hair just right.

"You look amazing my Pharaoh," says Marik. "Thank you," I say and look at myself in the large mirror. I look exactly like him without the cape. My heart lurches for a second and I ignore it. "Alright let's go. You said I was needed somewhere," I say. Marik nods and guides me out of my chambers. Servants bow to us as we pass. "You will have to attend a lot of classes up until the day of coronation. Some physical such as sword fighting. On the day of coronation, you will be officially crowned the Pharaoh and you will also name your court," he says.

We enter the throne room. "My Pharaoh your finally here. Oh you look so much like him," says a familiar voice. I turn around to see the person. "Mana," I ask. "The one and only," she says giving me a hug. "You look absolutely amazing," she says. "Thank you. How are you here," I ask. "I was reincarnated and sent back down here to help you and protect you. The Gods have big plans for you I'm sure," she says. "Your still a magician right," I ask. "Of course. I am fully trained now," she says.

"Would you like to be the final member of my court," I ask. "Of course I would," she says and hugs me. "Now Mana, he may not be crowned yet but he is still the Pharaoh," says a old man. "I'm Amenmose, the High Priest and one of your father's court," he says. "It's great to meet you," I say. "Likewise, now the reason you were called here is because we need to discuss some important matters regarding your coronation and court. You will also start your lessons immediately," he says. I nod and we head into a meeting room.
