Phase One

No One's POV

The next morning (name) had woken up due to a sharp cramp in her stomach. When the cramp slowly faded away she looked beside her not seeing Atem "what is he doing?" (Name) asked no one in particular. With a hand on her head she began to sit up wondering how she got to the bed 'how did I end up here anyway?' She questioned as she searched through her memories 'all I remember is seeing the doors of the palace, hearing a sinister chuckle, turning around, then everything went dark' (name) didn't see who had confronted her but since she was in the bed tucked up and all she knew that Atem came to help her.

Meanwhile, Atem was sitting on his throne with his neck leaning down as his hand held up his head. His stress level at the moment was extremely high, he knew he had to relax but couldn't. Not with Akefia on the loose. Atem had been up all night and he could just feel a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach that made him want to throw up. He needed to eat but he had a meeting in an hour and he had to be ready "Pharaoh" he looked at the one who had called his name "what is it Priest Seto?" Atem's voice was rough and tired worrying the Priest. Priest Seto looked at Atem as Atem's eyes flickered closed before opening them swiftly "Pharaoh, forgive me if I speak out of turn but I think you should take a rest. Eat food and sleep. You've had so many meetings these past few days that I bet your wife is worried" Atem glared at Seto but thought about it. He had a meeting so he didn't have time to rest, but if he didn't take care of himself then he wouldn't be ready for any attacks that Akfeia could surprise him with "Priest Seto. Hold my meeting for another hour" Atem demanded and Seto nodded and bowed before leaving to do as told.

Atem first went to the dining table where he met (name) who was eating alone 'I've left her alone long enough, she shouldn't suffer because of me' so Atem took a seat across from her surprising the queen "good morning (name). I hope you slept well" Atem greeted with a tired smile. (Name) had smiled back "good morning Atem. I had a great sleep" a few slaves brought Atem breakfast as he thanked them with gratitude. The couple ate as they exchanged small talk with each other. The silence was comforting and so were the times when one would speak, they couldn't help but to enjoy each others' presence and voice because to them, that was enough.

"Atem."

(Name) spoke out and Atem looked at her "what is it (name)?" He asked hoping nothing was wrong "...After we finish breakfast... Do you want to..." (Name) fell silent. (Name) actually wanted to cuddle with Atem or to massage him as long as he relaxed. Atem just shrugged it off "I have a meeting in about two hours" he told making (name) nod her head in understanding 'her air is off' Atem told himself looking at (name) who held her head down. She was hoping Atem didn't have a meeting today, he's had a lot of things to do ever since the other day and (name) had just learned why yesterday.

After a silent breakfast (name) went outside to hang out with Badru while Atem went to Yami to get ready for the meeting that would happen in about and hour and 30 minutes "Yami, something is off with (name). I think one reason is us not having time together. She was going to suggest something but she fell silent before finishing her suggestion. I hope she isn't sufferring too much. I'd love to be with her but this upcoming war is just too consuming." Atem sighed as he leaves his room and heads to the meeting room where he would discuss about the army men with the counsels.

While Atem was having the meeting, (name) was walking around the garden with Badru "I understan he has an upcoming war but that doesn't mean he can't take care of his own health" (name) pouted. Badru had been her personal listener for whenever (name) had problems. Badru mewed and jumped on (name)'s shoulder making the queen stop and Badru curled himself around (name)'s neck making her sigh in content feeling the soft fur of Badru "I might as well just wait until Atem has free time" (name) smiled continuing her walk.
