Atem saw a red hooded figure close to the palace and stopped his horse. "Show yourself!" Mahad yelled protecting the crown prince. The person moved on their horse to face them. A black stallion with crimson red eyes and red and black armor with the Valindrian symbol sparkling. "I'm here aren't I like you wanted make your guards open the gate." Morgana ordered. "Show yourself to prove who you are!" Morgana rolled her eyes as Seto said that. She uncovered her face and showed her fangs as her eyes changed to red. Morgana then covered her face back up making her fangs disappear yet one of her eyes didn't turned back to her normal color. Which made her to have one silver and red eye. "You made the right choice now follow us." Atem suggested as he advanced with his horse. She then neared her horse next to Mahad's horse smiling proudly while she stroked her horse. Atem still at awe on how the horse walked with gracefulness and seeing the bright and shinning armor. The caravan of soldiers and priest along with Morgana headed to the palace.
As they entered the palace Morgana noticed Valindrian soldiers mixed with Thebes soldiers. The soldiers bowed as she and the prince entered the palace. Morgana relaxed as she saw there was some of her people here that could be of a great help. When they arrived in front of the imperial affair chambers a row of soldiers stood waiting for war. Morgana just decided to ignore all the whispers that she could hear. They dismounted their horses except Morgana. "You can get down now" Atem told her as she just stiffened when she heard his voice. "Someone help her down." Seto order some soldiers. Entei saw these soldiers and immediately got aggressive and rose his front legs to the air. The soldiers where ready in defense mode as they saw the horse violently thrash around. "Woah Entei calm down boy I'm here." Morgana leaned in on the horse whispering in his ear to calm him down. Entei calmed down but still was ready to strike anyone who came near. "Are you alright?" Atem asked worried. Morgana rolled her eyes and got down of the horse. "He only likes Valindrian soldiers and people." Morgana said as she caressed her horse face. "Bring the horse guy her brother sent." Mahad told one of the soldiers who ran at the command. Two guys appeared in front of the horse and Morgana who stood next to Entei to protect him. "These two are horse trainers that the prince sent." Morgana smirked as the soldier introduce to them to her. "I didn't know my brother was still considered a prince here. Anyways what are you names?" Morgana asked. "My name is Jamir and this is my apprentice Lucas my lady." Jamir and Lucas were bowing before her which angered Seto. "Come here both of you." She ordered as she gripped the reins. "Place your hand in front of his nose." Morgana ordered as the one who spoke place his hand first allowing the horse to sniff it. Entei sniffed the mans hand then nuzzled his head on it. The next man placed his hands on the horse nose and the horse stared at him like he was reading his soul. The horse then neighed happily and licked his hand then nuzzled it. "Lucas have you seen this horse?" Morgana asked curious. "Yes my lady my father gave this horse to the Valindrian king when his daughter and son where born, I heard he gave it to the princess." Lucas said as he kept caressing Entei who played with the guy. "Well Lucas and Jamir please take it to the stables and take good care of him." Morgana said with a smile. "Make sure you take him to the stable reserved for the Valindrian Queen." Atem ordered and the two guys bowed and led Entei to the stables. Morgana followed Atem inside the palace along with his men. "Why did your horse reacted like that?" Atem asked curiously. "The horse is believed to be the protector of Sekhmet's guardian." Morgana said still walking. "So he's your guardian?" Atem asked. Morgana nodded and kept walking up the stairs. They stopped in front of the pharaoh who sat there looking down at those who came inside the chamber. Morgana bowed in front of the pharaoh. "No need to bow your majesty." Aknamkanon the pharaoh said. Morgana rose up yet didn't look up to the pharaoh. "I can feel your awaken power Morgana this is why you were brought here to..." Morgana cleared her throat stopping the pharaoh in mid sentence. "I'm not going to marry your son your majesty I prefer be a royal adviser or even a guard." Morgana looked at the pharaoh which caused him to gasp at her eyes. "Son you didn't pushed her back completely didn't you?" Aknamkanon asked Atem who stared at his father then at Morgana. "How is he going to do that?" Morgana asked defiantly. "We here have sorcerers who can help you maintain your powers at bay this is why.... cough... the alliance must be formed." Aknamkanon said weakly. "Father you shouldn't be out here with this condition!" Atem yelled as he ran up to his father but Aknamkanon rose his hand making him stop. "Though I may be dying...cough.. I'm still pharaoh and I...cough... wanted to be here to see and meet Morgana the daughter of my great friend...cough..." Aknamkanon said. "You should be resting your majesty I'll be here for a while." Morgana said as she bowed. Aknamkanon got up and went up to Morgana and took her veil off. "Your powers have been increasing rapidly ever since Entei wasn't near you these couple of months." Morgana looked away from the pharaoh feeling guilty. "Don't worry we can help you." Atem said hopeful. "I'm actually fine your grace I'm not in pain or anything." Morgana told Atem which calmed down when she said that. "I'm sorry my pharaoh causing big trouble to your kingdom..." Morgana was interrupted by the pharaoh. "You and your people are a special kind... immortals who roamed this earth before us and you were the chosen one to carry these powers." Aknamkanon said before he ordered some servants to take him back to his chambers. "I'll take you to your chambers." Atem offered. Morgana rolled her eyes and followed him being annoyed by his presence. They headed to the royal chambers wing and they stopped last room of the wing. "Here it is your room." Atem said as the guards opened it. The room was massive and looked just like the one Morgana had back in Valindria. "There's some clothes and jewelry inside the drawers and wardrobe they are yours, the ones you sent with the horses." Atem said as he gestured for her to enter. "My father told the guards to leave your stuff untouched even I choose a suitor." Atem told Morgana as she entered the room. "When you find your suitor I..." Morgana was interrupted by Atem who walked near her. "No this room is yours and I have found the one I love yet she's so stubborn and doesn't want to marry me." Atem said as he stared at her. "Well maybe she has reasons not to, your highness." Morgana said as she took a seat on the bed. "Is there any armor I can use since I'm your personal guard." Morgana asked him while looking at him. "Yes they are bring it as we speak." Atem said as he blushed seeing Morgana take her belt and cloak off. He didn't noticed her clothes a bit revealing with out the veil and cloak. Morgana smirked seeing the future pharaoh flustered. "Why are you so red my sire." Morgana teased as she neared him. "Pfft please call me Atem." Atem commented. "But I'm your guard my lord." Morgana said in a sweet voice as she circled the prince. He got so red that he put her eye color to shame. "My pharaoh and my lady here's the armor that you requested." One of the servants laid it out on the bed and left quickly as possible. Morgana stood behind Atem who was to flustered to face her. "Beautiful young prince can you turn around so I can change." Morgana said as she walked away towards the bathroom. Atem turned around scowling at himself and at his hormones. After showering she put on some of her clothes and the armor which didn't cover much of her body. She frowned at it and took it off she went to her chest she brought on Entei and grabbed her Valindrian armor and placed it on her.
