(Name)'s POV

Atem and I had stayed with Mrs. Amaya until the sun had begun to set. Ra's ball of flames was gorgeous as it lit the sky with tremendous colors and the clouds that appeared made the sun's multicolored lights reflect off the clouds causing the sky to look mystical and tropical. I look at Atem with a smile seeing that he was captivated by the scenery "sunset looks lovely today" Mrs. Amaya said and I nod my head "it's been a while since I've seen such a beautiful sunset on such a wonderful and peaceful day" Mrs. Amaya smiled "it has been peaceful down here lately, I'm not sure about the palace though. Just a few days ago the town was woken up by screeching that came from the palace" I giggled and told Mrs. Amaya the story about Mana and the cats. 

No One's POV

As (name) told Mrs. Amaya the story of a few days ago Atem was indeed captivated by the sunset. He's always been forced to stay in and attend meetings so being able to see the sunset on (like (name) said) a wonderful and peaceful day. The beautiful sunset eased Atem but at the same time he noticed how the red lights stood out more than the others, as if giving off a warning. Atem's gaze became harsh and he looked at (name) who held a smile of satisfaction on her face. Atem couldn't tell (name) his uneasy feeling because her mood was light and he didn't want to ruin it. He knew he had to say something... But he couldn't. (Name)'s smile was enough to put his mind at ease but the lingering feeling of 'hope-I-forget' made his chest squeeze.

"Atem, we should head back soon. Don't want everyone to worry about us."

(Name) giggled and Atem nodded his head "alright then, we shall call it a day" then Atem thanked Mrs. Amaya for her hospitality as the couple soon left with her elongated shadows behind trailing them. The walk was silent- but a peaceful silent- while the day got darker with soon turned the sky to a lovely shade of indigo with the colors of red, yellow, pink, and orange layered below. When the two arrived at the palace Atem had been immediately called by the councils "go ahead, I'll meet you in the room soon" Atem said giving (name) a peck on the forehead. 

Atem made his way in the council room seeing each of his councils with a serious face "we apologize for interrupting your rest, your majesty. Unfortunately this case is serious." Atem nodded as he took a seat "it's alright. go on" Atem demanded and the counselors did so. Taking out a folded piece of paper the councils handed Atem the paper as he unfolded it with care reading the letter with a grim face.

'Are you feeling it now, Atem?'

[JOKE! THIS IS JUST A JOKE!! That's not what it actually says!!!]

'Hello Pharaoh.

I see you have gotten my letter- no- my declaration. That's right, this is my declaration of war! I won't let you stop me from taking over all of Egypt! And of course it starts with killing the Pharaoh first, then claim (name) as mine and finally... become Pharaoh. Don't sleep tonight Pharaoh. It might be your last because this is my declaration of war. '

Atem's eyes filled with rage while his aura darkened. The councils could feel the Pharaoh's rage increase causing them to cower back with fear "...Please tell the guards to keep a sharp eye out tonight and to inform me if any sign of Akefia appears" the councils nod and Atem leaves the dim room making him way to his room. In an attempt to drop his idea of sleep the memory of a smiling (name) appeared in his mind 'I don't want to worry her, nor do I want her to get involved with the war that would soon start' Atem's mind filled with worry until he realized that he had made it to his room. Upon opening the door the sound of a soft voice singing captivated Atem as he closed the door behind him.

How many days have passed like this?

The city and crowd is moving, carry on.

Sometimes I've wondered where you've gone

Story carries on

Lonely, lost inside

I've had this dream so many times 

The moments we've spent has past and gone away

Could there be an end to this

What I'm feeling deep inside

You know there's no looking back

Glassy sky above

As long as I'm alive

You will be part of me

Glassy sky the cold

The broken pieces of me

The mystery of it I recall

Suddenly the truth will change the way we fall

I didn't want to hurt you hope you know

Empty promises, shattered  dreams of love

Sometimes I wonder what's beyond

 I tried many times to make it up to you

 Can somebody tell me what to do? 

Thought we're meant to be 

There's no going back 

Time has already come

 Sun is gone and no more shadows 

Can't give up

 I know and this life goes onI'll be strong I'll be strong 'til I see the end 

 Glassy sky above 

As long as I survive 

You will be part of me 

Glassy sky the cold 

The broken pieces of me 

Glassy sky above

 Covers over me, over me

Her voice was stunning, soft, and mature. Atem was still starstruck even when (name) turned around and jumped from Atem's sudden appearance "Atem?" Atem returned to reality and he noticed his wife in front of him "that was beautiful, (name)" Atem held (name) in his masculine and warm arms that welcomed (name) into a world of comfort. The two stayed like that for a few minutes before they released each other and made their way to their bed. Laying down on the soft sheets, (name) could feel herself want to instantly sleep. Atem chuckled "go ahead and sleep, I'll watch you to keep you company" (name) nods and closed her eyes as a world of sleep consumes her. When she breathes lightly Atem's face became grim.

'I'm sorry  (name), but I can't tell you yet.'
