Atemus Reise ist noch nicht zuende
Heroo 1 - Finally eternal rest?
Remembering and Finding - Heroo 1 - Finally eternal rest?
"How nice!" Tea looked up.
"Yes, you are right," Tristan agreed. The two sat with Joey and Yugi on the roof of the house that Yugi and his grandfather lived in.
Today a meteor shower had announced that the friends really wanted to see. They had been in the dark for an hour, waiting. Not long ago the first meteorite with a white and red tail had appeared over them. There had been more and more.
"Crazy! I've never seen anything like it!" Shouted Joey.
"It's rare that you can see such a phenomenon ...", Yugi lay on his back and tried to count all the meteorites.
"Pha ... Atemu would surely like that too," thought Joey aloud.
Tea turned to him and sighed. "Yeah ... probably ..." She still found it hard to think about. "He's been gone for 4 months now ..."
"Yes he is ... I think he's really fine now. He's in heaven now," Tristan agreed.
"More likely in the kingdom of Osiris. The Egyptians have a different belief than we ...", said Yugi's grandpa, who wanted to sit down with the young friends to see something of the shower. "He has achieved everything that he should achieve. He has surely passed the judgment of the gods.
"That's right ... Mana, Mahado, Seth and others stood there and received him", Yugi remembered the day back ... He was only left with the three god cards and the past time that he kept remembering. It still hurt, but it got better.
"Everything okay, Tea ...!", Tristan asked, who had put his hand on her shoulder: "For you he wasn't more than a good friend ?!"
"Hm ...!" Tea turned her head away. It was true, when she saw Atemu leave, her heart had stopped. She would have loved to keep him in her world, even if it wasn't entirely fair to Yugi. She had loved the cool, strong Pharaoh and only ever saw the nice shy Yugi as a friend and it still was like that, if she was honest. It didn't help her when she saw Yugi that he looked so much like Atemu.
"Oh ... I don't know ... I think he misses us too. After all, we were his friends here, we grew together and helped each other," thought Joey.
"Probably! Hey it's starting!", Yugi stated when he saw the second meteorite flying across the sky. From the roof it was small, but its color was rose gold and cut through the night. First one followed him, then more and more, until the sky was lit up by innumerable red-shining tails.
"Beautiful!", Tea shouted and got up.
"Yes, I've never seen so many at once in my entire life," Salamon agreed and mimicked deeply.
"Hey look! There's a really big one!", Joey pointed to the night sky and was right.An incredibly large meteorite, with a glowing tail that was also 4 times as long as that of the others, hissed over their heads and made the sky shine so bright for a moment that everyone who watched the shower had to cover their eyes .
"Hm ...", Atemu turned around. He was lying on soft pillows in a room in whose semicircular arches the Nile was glistening. He had slept, if that was possible for a dead man. He no longer knew how long he had been here and how he had made the journey through the realm of the dead behind him. He vaguely remembered the journey on the barge through the realm of the underworld as described in the books of the dead. Here he had come to and the judgment of the gods was still ahead of him ... The weighing of the heart ... if he would pass this last test, he had arrived and was allowed to stay here.
Slowly he got up and stepped to the window to see the world in which he would spend his time. Now and forever this would be his home. He was already on his feet when he stepped through the arched door and looked at the fertile land, the river and hippos splashing in the cool water. The sun was warm and the air that flowed through his lungs was enriched with scents of all kinds. All fragrant, from cedar to lotus and papyrus. And another smell that he knew he had loved once, familiar, but he could no longer assign it ...
"PRINCE!", Came a voice and only seconds later something was stuck to his arm and looked at him with the big brown eyes: "Are you awake ?!"
"Yes Mana ...!", He smiled at her. "I'm awake. How are you ?! Have I slept a long time?!?"
"Hmm ...!", The blonde rocked her head: "Yes, since you arrived. You were fix and everyone. Well, everyone understands that too ... who are there."
"What do you mean ?!", confused he looked at her and raised an eyebrow: "Didn't everyone be able to decide the judgment of the gods in their favor ?!"
"Well ...!", Mana let go of him and looked around. "Of course not ... Akunadin ... he wasn't let through here ..." she turned away uncertainly. "But all the other priests are here."
Atemu walked along the bank beside her, thinking. "That's a shame ... but it was to be expected ... Tell me ... just my priests and you? None of my old friends ?!" Even if his memory was still about to awaken, he was aware that he wasn't just them Had priests around them who had heard on his staff. In the palace he had more friends and outside there were people whom he liked and called friends.
"Yes ... but since you still need some rest, they have withdrawn ...", Mana said and played with her hair. "Tell me! Where have you been so long? We had to wait a long time for you, Prince!"
"Mana!He is the pharaoh not the prince! ", objected Mahado, who came towards them." Have you been hanging around in the vicinity of his resting room again ?! "inquired the magician and bowed to his master." I am happy to see you again after all this time. Your task is now over, I hope you have achieved everything and have been free from all the vices of this world. "
"My friend ...", Atemu smiled at him and gestured for him to get up. "I have done my job with you by my side. I know that your thoughts were always with me, even when my memories were closed to me."
"PUH! He's a prince for me!", Mana grumbled snippily.
"MANA!" Mahado gave her a hard look.
"Leave it. I am glad that it has not changed. For now we are no longer living here. I was gone for a long time, it is good to regain the old, even if one is missing the new," said Atemu gently a. In fact, he was only right that Mana still called him a prince. He had only been Pharaoh for a few days, so he could understand that she hadn't taken over this fact so quickly. It was also home ... a familiar, warm feeling when she spoke to him like that and jumped at him.
"It's ..." Mahado sighed and shook his head: "As you wish, but I still think it should be different."
"There you see it! I can! Prince you are playing with me again, right? Now you have time when you no longer have to rule a country or fulfill a task", the blond girl said with a laugh and scratched her head Back of the head! "I've wanted to play Senet with you for so long. I've gotten better too. High Priest Karim has practiced with me."
"Gladly, I'm looking forward to it", Responded Atemu and looked at the Nile. Everything was as he had seen it in the world of his memories ... In the last game against Zorg everything was blooming and green, was not destroyed or deteriorated. "Where are the others? I would like to see them again too - it could completely wake my memories."
"You are in the temple ...", Mahado objected, visibly unsettled. He glanced at Mana, who was tied to her dress and looked at him helplessly. Something is wrong, but what it was, they seem to want to tell him. No matter what it was, it was sure to be something that would upset Atemu who he would find out about.
"What's going on?", Atemu asked.
"Nothing ... It's just ... your father is in this realm and everyone else you knew and were not sent to the Amentit by the judgment of the gods - only ... one person is not to be found and also the great gods who let us stay here , refuse to say anything. We're sorry ... Isis has been looking for her for a long time, but her magical powers are reaching their limits, "explained Mahado as he made his way to the temple.
"I see ..." Atemu said, even if he didn't really.He did not know who it might be. He probably wouldn't even notice while he was still collecting his memory. Would the name help him any further?
Mana looked at him. She felt sorry for him. Unlike him, she and the others knew everything that had happened in their lives. The fact that he of all people, her best and dearest friend, who was like a big brother to her, had forgotten everything, also hurt her inside. How much she would like to tell him everything that had happened before, but she knew just as well that he wanted to find out for himself.
“It's a shame that one of them is missing, I'll take care of it.” The voice with which the Pharaoh spoke was firm and honest. As soon as he remembered who knew who was missing, who would recognize the face again, he would go on a search. But for now he would show himself to his friends and companions and bow to the gods, as custom dictated.
"Really !?", Mana said happily and clung to his arm.
"Sir…"; Mahado looked at him skeptically. For him, this plan was everything, but it was not feasible. Whoever entered the realm of the dead could only leave it again for reincarnation. "I fear for you ... the great Osiris will certainly prevent you from leaving. Here in his kingdom is our home. We have waited for you, did not strive for reincarnation. You must have noticed what became of Seth. He no longer knew you in his new life and has lost his faith. We assume that the missing person also found a new life and forgot everything. You should let it go no matter when and how you get your memories of us back, it is surely better as it is now. "
"You worry too much my friend," replied the Pharaoh. "We will see, and if I think I want to look, then I hope that you support me and not try to change my mind. I had to wait a long time to see you again. My memory still has gaps, but they are getting faster fill when I dare to hope, because already now, only because I
