NeveN, Akhet

“The sunset…” Malik sighs. “It’s like light can’t be here forever.” He shifts gently around. “I’ve been thought to see it as the beginning of Ra’s journey through the 12 kingdoms of night.”

Bakura blinks softly as Malik’s words keep making that fluttery feeling go through his stomach. “What…”

“You know,” Malik starts, resting his chin back on Bakura’s chest as he starts tracing with his finger on it, “he travels 12 kingdoms in the sky during the day and then another 12 in the underworld during the night.” While he says so he draws a circle on Bakura’s chest. “He makes his journey on a holy barque so that's why it's seen like a river loop. And in the point where it intersects with the Nile forms the horizon. Akhet .”

Bakura’s eyes are fixed on the darkening panorama, but he frowns at Malik’s last word. “Eh… what?”

“Akhet,” Malik repeats as he keeps retracing the circle with his finger. “The hieroglyph.” He draws a rectangle over the circle that has its upper side overlapping with the circle’s diameter in the centre. “The place in the sky where the sun rises.”
