In The Arms of a Priest 1:
The Temple of the Gods
Author's Notes: Here it is gang the story of Seto and Pernia. This will tell a story about how they were ripped from each other five thousand years ago and found each other again. Although they never would have found each other again had it not been for Mokuba. Then again Mokuba feels the need to make for something that he did five thousand years ago.
The song 'Per la Gloria d'aroravi' or 'For the love my heart doth prize' is owned by Giovanni Battista Bonocini and was translated by Dr. Theodore Baker.

The High Priest Seto walked up the steps to the temple of Mut; the consort of Amon-Ra. He was the youngest High Priest of any god in Egypt he had been the High Priest since he was fifteen and would seventeen that coming spring. He looked around watching the priestesses go about their business of preparing to offer things to the great goddess herself.
"Can I help you with something High Priest?" asked one of the Junior Priestesses.
"Where is the High Priestess Narfia?!" he demanded.
"The High Priestess Narfia died last winter," said a female voice from the other side of the room.
"Who are you woman?" asked Seto ignoring the Junior Priestess.
"I am Pernia the daughter of Narfia and the new High Priestess," said the woman walking up to him.
The moment she stepped into the light he got a good look at her; she had long, thick, chestnut colored hair, with light blue eyes, and tan skin. The clothing she was wearing a skirt that went from her hips down to her ankles; it was secured around her waist by a gold belt. Her tan skin was set off by the gold bracelets around her upper arms and wrists; the gold necklace she wore was set off by gems the color of the Nile River. All in all; the woman was quite lovely to look at.
"Aren't you a little young to be a High Priestess?" asked Seto scornfully.
"Aren't you a little young to be a High Priest?" she retorted.

"Come," said Pernia turning and waving at him to follow her. "Follow me we will talk in the garden."
Seto followed the young woman that was probably about a year younger then he was.
"I am surprised," said Pernia.
"About what?" asked Seto.
"The way my mother describe you I expected a much older man," said Pernia.
"Sorry to disappoint you," said Seto.
"I'm not disappointed," said Pernia softly.
"I see," said Seto.
"So High Priest what is it I can do for you?" she asked.
"I have come to talk to you about the festival of Amon-Ra and Mut's joining.
"Very well," said Pernia stopping by a fountain. "What is it you wanted to talk to me about it?"
Seto said nothing instead he was staring at the new figure that had walked into the garden. Pernia followed his gaze and saw another High Priest; he was the High Priest of Set she could tell by his clothing and the necklace he wore hanging around his neck. Pernia leapt to her feet and took a couple of steps back knocking herself into Seto's chest. On instinct the taller Priest caught her arms to help her keep her balance.
"What is wrong?" he asked concerned.

"It is the Noah High Priest of the dark god Set," said Pernia softly.
Seto narrowed his eyes at the other male and pulled Pernia closer to him protectively. Her tan skin felt soft against his chest and very smooth to the touch. He gently pushed her behind him knowing that the presence of the other male seemed to make her uncomfortable.
"What do you want Noah?" scowled Seto.
"This doesn't concern you High Priest of Ra," snarled Noah. "Just because you are the High Priest of the second half of the god Amon Ra; gives you know reason to cut into the private affairs that I have with the woman."
"Wrong," said Seto. "That gives me a reason to step into business that only seems to exist in your mind. Since I am the High Priest of Ra it is my business to make sure that the High Priestess and Priestess of his higher being's consort are not damaged by any one."
For a brief moment both of the males glared at each other trying to break the other one's confidence. Finally Noah looked away and stared hard the ground.
"Fine," he growled before snapping his eyes back up to glare at Pernia. "This isn't over though mark my words this is far from over."
With that Noah stormed from the gardens leaving shocked priestesses behind him.
"Thank you," said Pernia after awhile.
"What was that about?" he asked pulling her into his arms unconsciously.
"Noah has been obsessed with me for has long as I can remember," said Pernia shaking softly. "That man will bring about the destruction of Egypt."

"I do not think one man can bring about the destruction of the most powerful kingdom," said Seto smiling gently to reassure the woman.
"Do not mock me," said Pernia. "I have seen it from visions sent by the goddess."
"Have you told the pharaoh?" asked Seto frowning.
"The pharaoh would not listen to me," said Pernia looking away.
"The pharaoh is a very understanding man," said Seto.
"I am a woman he is a male," said Pernia forcefully. "He will believe Noah before he believes a male female."
"If you are this worried about it I swear I will talk to him," said Seto. "I will make sure he never comes near you again," whispered Seto in her ear frowning slightly at feeling her shake.
"Thank you," said Pernia stepping back to face him. "But why did you do that?"
"I don't know," said Seto after awhile. "Perhaps it is because I am as attracted to the High Priestess as the god Amon-Ra was attracted to the goddess Mut."
Seto smiled softly and took her into his arms embracing her for several minutes.
"We shouldn't," said Pernia glancing away when Seto tried to kiss her.
"Why not?" asked Seto tightening his grip around her.
"It is forbidden," said Pernia. "And it is wrong."
"I maybe a priest Pernia," said Seto in her ear. "But I am still a man for I am not blinded by beauty."

Pernia gasped when Seto kissed her neck softly before moving up to capture her lips. Her hands ran up his arms and around his neck eager to taste his lips better. She felt the coolness of the millennium ring that he wore around his neck against her chest; and shivered slightly at the feel of it. Her fingers entangled in his light brown hair and she felt his grip on her tighten slightly. Footsteps alerted them and they drew back startled, and just in time has the pharaoh and his mistress appeared in the garden.
"Seto," said the pharaoh. "Come with me we have much to discuss."
Seto and Pernia bowed to the pharaoh before Seto straightened up and walked away following the pharaoh. The pharaoh's mistress glanced over her shoulder briefly and smiled at her before turning her attention back to the pharaoh.
"Goddess," whispered Pernia softly when she was alone in the garden. "Forgive me for I love him so much."

For the love my heart doth prize, O charmful eyes, I would adore ye;
For the love my heart doth prize, O charmful eyes, I would adore ye.
For me, my love is pain, I know 'tis all in vain, vain, vain,
Yet kneel before ye:
For me, my love is pain, I know 'tis all in vain, vain, vain
Yet kneel before ye.
Love is pain, all in vain I implore ye,
love is pain, all in vain I implore ye.
Hopeless 'tis to look for kindness, Foolish fondness with sighs t'implore ye,
Hopeless 'tis to look ffor kindness, Foolish fondness with sighs t'implore ye;
But whoe'er might woo your gaze, Bask in your sunny rays, and not, and not adore ye?
But whoe'er might woo your gaze, Bask in your sunny rays, and not, and not adore ye?
Love is pain, all in vain I implore ye, love is pain all in vain I implore ye.
