The Warrior Princess and The Pharaoh of the Millennium Puzzle

In Sickness and Death

Morgana sat in the harem watching the girls their dance to the music. There was another festival and she wanted to stay at the harem so she won't bump into Atem. The girls swayed their head to the music while the dancers dance around. One of the consorts the pharaoh entered and everyone bowed except Morgana who messed with her dress. The woman tried hiding her angered and smiled while bowing to the Valindrian queen. "So you're the infamous wife of my dear step son." The woman with the ugly smile sat down along with the girls. "Hmm never heard of you being his stepmother since he only mentions the undying love between his mother and the pharaoh." Morgana said smiling. The woman's grin disappeared and she looked at Morgana with hatred. "You insolent woman how dare you! I'm the pharaoh's only real wife!" The woman yelled. "Really for him not to remember you even in bed rest he only calls her name." Morgana said getting up. "I just seemed to lost my appetite and the urge for being here, just a little tip before I go." Morgana turned around at her the door. "In order for a consort to become queen needs to give birth to at least one child and keep them alive." Morgana said as she stroke her pregnant belly and left the harem. The girls hold their laughter as they followed their queen. Mana was walking from the study hall when she saw Morgana and the girls. "My queen why such a sour face?" Mana asked curious. "I met an ugly woman today that she calls herself the pharaoh's wife." Morgana emphasized the last part. "Oh you mean Merida she always boasted that she had a thing with the pharaoh only one night and that's before he met Atem's mother other than that nope. She even claimed she was pregnant but was discovered that she wasn't so she stuck as concubine who dreams away." Mana said. "Well what an unfortunate path she had but she has terrible attitude." Morgana commented. "That's why the pharaoh dropped her." Mana said smiling. Morgana kept walking towards her room when she saw the healers rushing from that area in and out. "What's going on?" Morgana asked Mana. "I'm not sure let me go check." Morgana stopped Mana from running up to the medics. "No let them do their work." Morgana said semi confused. They headed to her room and saw that the healers ran to Atem's room. Morgana was about to reach out for her door but then she groaned. She was fighting the urge to go and check maybe it was one of Atem's traps to get her to go to him. Her hand shook as she reach the door handles she took a deep breath and opened them and ran inside. The girls noticed her behavior and curiously followed her inside. Once inside Morgana paced back and forth trying to calm herself. She looked at her bed and saw her flute and grabbed it. She was going to play it but then lowered it looking out the balcony and remembered that when she was sick he was always with her. She hit herself with the flute then walked out her room and walked towards Atem's room. Her heart beating rapidly she even placed a hand on it to calm it down. She was let by the guards in and she walked inside. She saw the medics running around and checking him up. "What's wrong with the prince?" Morgana asked on of the healers. "He's running high on fever he was found passed outside in the balcony." The healer said while bowing. Morgana walked up to Atem and sat down beside him on the bed. She checked his forehead and it was burning hot. "Have they given him medication?" Morgana asked. "In fact its time for his dose my queen." The healer said as he bowed and gave her the bowl with medicine. She motioned for the healer to raise his head up a bit so she could give him the medicine. After being done Morgana was given another cloth for Atem's forehead. As soon as she placed it Atem grabbed her hand and hugged it to him. "Mother..." Atem whispered in his sleep. Morgana tried to pry her hand off him but Atem just gripped it harder and turned around in his sleep causing her to almost be on top of him. "Yami.... let go." Morgana tried prying her hand away but he wouldn't budge. She motioned the healers to move scoot him a bit more into the bed so she could at least sit comfortable even with the pregnant belly. Morgana annoyed sit down and used Atem's body as a pillow for her back while her arm was twisted because Atem wouldn't let go of her hand. She huffed and kicked on the bed waiting for him to react. She and the girls whispered and ate together trying to keep her company. She gave her flute to one of them to hold for now. "This is what I get for worrying about him." Morgana said as she slapped him. She spent all day with her hand trapped in his grip that she had to change positions. She didn't want to lay down next to him so she just sat there. It was already night and Atem's fever had lowered. Medics tried to make it easier for Morgana since she was pregnant she couldn't be in strained positions. Morgana grew tired and laid semi on top of him. The night went by and Morgana had to go to the bathroom really bad. She asked the girls to help her out and the put a screen to cover her. While she was almost done she heard a chuckle and she moved her ear back to see Atem laughing at her. She finished quickly and wash her hands since Atem let her other hand go. "You!!!!!" Morgana said as she hit him. Atem flipped her over to where he was on top of her. "Annoying." She said as she turned away from him. "Annoying me?! Oh really?" Atem said chuckling on top of her. "Move!" Morgana shoved him off her and she got off the bed. She was going to walk out the room when Atem motioned the guards something and they didn't let her get out. "Let me get out!" Morgana tried pushing them but they didn't budge. Morgana went back next to the bed and stayed watching the door. Shimon entered with other guards with him and healers. The healers and servants left Morgana's new clothes and the medicine for both also food. Shimon then motioned to them to the guards to move. Morgana got ready to defend herself but they didn't come for her but for the girls. "What's going on why are they being taken and where to!" Morgana asked as she went up to Shimon. Shimon laughed and backed away as soon the girls walked away. "Do not worry my queen they will be taken out the room and you will stay here pharaoh's order also it might take a while you guys have to make out your differences or else you are both stuck here." Shimon said chuckling as he sprinted out the room and demand it to be locked. "Guards open the door!" Morgana banged on the door as it was closed. The baby kicked her stomach causing her to stop. Atem saw her bend over in pain a bit and rushed to her. "Are you alright?" Atem asked while Morgana regained her posture. "The... baby kicked me hard it hurt." Atem chuckled at Morgana's response. "She or he is protesting too she or he wants to get out her mamas body." Atem joked. Morgana slapped Atem on the shoulders as he turned around laughing. "Why are you hitting me she/he's about to get out anytime now." Atem said as he picked Morgana up. "Let me down." Morgana said glaring at him. He chuckled and faked to drop her and Morgana held onto him tightly. "You idiot Yami stop!!!!" Morgana looked at him. Atem laid her down slowly onto the bed while staring at her while she closed her eyes. As soon as she felt she was safe on the bed she opened up her eyes to see Atem still grabbing her and looking down at her. She looked up at him then shoved him away. She moved around the bed with the covers and plopped down on one of the ends of the bed. Atem shrugged and laid down on the other side of the bed. "Unbelievable the pharaoh pulling these types of tricks for his spoiled brat of a son." Morgana whispered. Atem just chuckled while staring at her while he pulled the covers for himself. Morgana pulled them back to cover herself but Atem yanked it back. "I'm cold give me the covers!" Morgana yelled. "But I'm cold too I was sick just yesterday I need time to recover!" Atem argued back while trying not to burst out laughing. "Ugh Fine!" Morgana yelled and got out the bed and walked again to the door. "Open up give me another blanket!" Morgana yelled but no one answered. She stomped her foot and glared at Atem who wrapped himself on the blanket and sat on the middle of the bed. "You can and sit here next to me and we can give each other heat we will share the blanket." Atem said patting the space on the bed next to him as he showed her the blanket on him. "I rather die of cold..." Morgana whispered as she walked back and forth rubbing her hands around her shoulders. She stayed doing that for a while until she turned at look at him who had a smirk on his face. "Fine but don't get near me." Morgana got on the bed and grabbed the sheet and tried covering herself. Atem grabbed her hand and pulled her next to him. He leaned to kiss her but his headache was coming back and let her go. "I'm going to take my medicine..." Atem said as he went to get his medicine and hers. Morgana covered herself and climbed to the spot she chose earlier and started to fall asleep . Atem drank his and left it in the nightstand and crawled into the bed. He carefully got behind her and propped her up while she was asleep he gave her the medicine and laid her down slowly. He then took he bowl and place it in the nightstand and then went back to her. He laid down behind her and covered himself with the covers. He poked her a bit later once he woke up to see if she was awake but she was still sleeping. "Maybe she was really tired." Atem said out loud and got out the bed to eat the food that the servants left quickly. Morgana shifted awake feeling less warm than before so she sat up and saw Atem eating his food. Morgana walked up to him and sat next to him and ate her food and looked at the container with a note that said her name and she grabbed it and opened it up. She saw it was blood and drank it all for the baby's health. She cleaned up a bit after she was done and sat on the bed hugging herself. Atem finished and got in the bed next to her while the both stared at the door. "When you think they'll give up?" Atem asked. Morgana looked at him then at the door. "I think they are asking themselves that." Morgana huffed. "I'm tired..." she said as her head slide down a bit then leaned her head on Atem's shoulder. "You've always been sleeping much lately is it because..." Atem was interrupted by watching Morgana pointing at the baby. "Hey little guy stop making your mom restless I want to see her beautiful eyes and smile too." Atem said as he caressed Morgana's belly. He felt the baby kicked a little and he chuckled hugging Morgana as she fell asleep while leaning on him. Atem then laid down and fell asleep while still hugging her. He woke up and it was already sundown. "I'm sorry for what I've done it's alright if you hate me but please know that you are the only one in my heart..." Atem whispered to her and kissed her forehead. Atem moved away from her and sat on the other side hugging his knees looking at the balcony. "Is it this cold because of the cold we have in our hearts turned the palace cold?" Atem asked himself. He closed his eyes and put his head down between his knees. "Gu Xiaowu..." Morgana whispered as she woke up. Atem rose his head up as he heard her call him out by his nickname she put him. She sat up and looked around until she found him on the other side of the bed. Tearing up she moved as fast as she could to him and hugged him. "Gu Xiaowu promise me you won't leave me." Morgana said crying. "Of course not my Qu Xiao Feng..." Atem hugged tightly while shedding a tear. "I... I had a dream that you left me alone with our baby." Morgana said as she separated a little from him. "They will have to kill me to leave you my love." Atem reassured her as she brought her close to him again. After they both cried a bit and settled down Morgana sat in front of him looking down at her dress. Atem kept looking at her once in a while then decided to sit in front of her. She looked at him as he neared her, he grabbed her by the neck and brought her close and kissed her in the lips. Atem pushes her down while laying on top of her while kissing her. She missed him so much but always tried pushing him away she didn't knew how much she needed him so badly.
Shimon peaked in through the door and saw the couple kissing each other and smiled covering his laugh then disappeared out the door. He turned around to the others who waited for his reaction. "My pharaoh you're brilliant they are kissing as we speak." Shimon commented. Everyone celebrated quietly not wanting for them to know they where there. Atem kisses her passionately he missed her so much it ache him not being with her the whole time. Those stabs she gave him with the dagger seemed to hurt less compared to what he felt every time she pushed him away and avoided him. Those wounds seemed to heal faster with feeling her lips respond to him. The gasped for air because Morgana ran out of air cause of the baby. "Atem..." Morgana groaned. "Mmm." Atem mumbled as he stared down at her. "Ugh can you move my legs are getting tired." Morgana whined. Atem gasped and moved for her to stretch her legs. He laid next to her and caressed her hair. She looked up at him and caressed his cheek. He stopped caressing her hair and grabbed her hand that was on his cheek while he rubbed his cheek against it. "I love you." Atem and Morgana said at the same time then blushed. Their eyes widen when they heard cheering outside. "What's going on?" Morgana said as she sat up and Atem rolled over to look at the door. The guards opened the door to see everyone jumping up and down. "Did they really just spied in us till we said it?" Morgana asked in disbelief. Atem chuckled and pulled her down to him and kissed her again causing more cheering and a couple of wolf whistles. Embarrassed Morgana hit Atem and pulled away. "About time I'm not getting any younger my son." The pharaoh said smiling. Atem facepalmed while Morgana laughed at him. Morgana left Atem's room to go change her clothes. She was getting her hair ready so she could to sleep. "My Gu Xiaowu is dead... there's only ever growing darkness in you're heart Yami...." Morgana said as she teared up. She cleaned her tears and grabbed her flute from her vanity and went out the balcony. She started to play a different song from the other day this one was a bit more melancholic.

This song she learned it from her master Sokar after she asked him why her father only played that after her mother died. Her master said the king was in deep sorrow and missed her a lot so he played it. She then asked him to show her the song since he knew it. She remembered when she accidentally missed a key and she would cry. One day she missed the key again while her father passed by and then he went up to her and showed her a better way to reach the key. Morgana's eyes teared up remembering her father while she kept playing. She faced straight ahead to the land of eyepatch bathed in moonlight. Ignoring those who stared she continued playing till the end. She then went inside and laid down as she caressed her stomach. Why were those kisses cold even though she knew she he was being passionate his kisses felt cold. "The darkness in his heart is started to consume him it's almost time your highness." Morgana turned around to look at Aya and Azra standing in front of her bed. Morgana's tears fell from her cheeks and gripped her dress near her chest. "Why... why does it has to be this way?" Morgana asked. "We are sorry your highness." Azra said feeling sorry. "The tomb is done for both of you.... I'm afraid it's a matters of weeks now..." Aya said tearing up. They both hugged Morgana as she wept.
