Humra, The Egyptian Primrose: The Pharoah

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.


I bite my bottom lip as I watch Alya giddily walk towards the school. A huge groan escapes my lips. The reason is I so carelessly lost a textbook whilst on my early morning escapades.


"Yo, girl!" Alya giggles delightfully as she greets me. Noticing her very happy demeanour, I can't help but ask.


"What's with the face?"


She chuckles deeply---something she does when she's had a breakthrough, I've learnt.


"Check this out!" She says as she pulls out something from her bag.


"I got Primvère Rosé's History textbook!"


I feel my heart drop in an instant.


"W-What did you just say...?"


"Seriously, (Y/N)? Do you never check my blog?! I just made a video on how I-ahem-stalked Prim after the Akuma this morning!"


That explains it.


"A-Alya..." I say trying to sound as natural as possible as I eye the textbook-my textbook.


"I think you should return it back to her...I feel like she needs it back," I say nervously before reaching out for the textbook only for her to move it away from me.


"Aha! No way! Can you believe it!? All I've gotta do is to find out who this textbook belongs to and BAM!!! I'll find out Primvère's true identity! Oh! I'm so into this!!"


"Hey, guys, what's up?" I hear Marinette say as she walks to us, "I found Primvère Rosé's textbook this morning!"


Marinette's eyes widen surprised, "Really?" She says and looks at the textbook on Alya's hand as she hums in response, "Yeah! It's my new lead in finding her true identity!" Alya fangirls making me chuckle.


"Well, that's nice but don't you think you should give it back?"


"That's exactly what I said," I say making Alya frown childishly, "You're no fun!" She says making me laugh.


"Excuse me for a moment..." I say and run towards the bathroom. Once I get there I enter a stall and lock the door in a panic.


"Oh my goodness, Seven...what am I supposed to do?"


The said kwami floats in the air with a shrug.


"Well, I have an idea..."


---


I take a huge breath as I oh-so-casually turn to my two best friends with a smile.


"You know what? Let's go to the Lourve today! I heard that there's something in the Pharaoh Tutankhamen exhibit that is related to Primvère Rosé and Ladybug!" I say making their eyes widen, "Count me in!" Alya says making Marinette nod, "Me too!" She says making me smile.


---


"Do you really think that you can find Primvère Rosé is from a textbook that every high-school student owns?" Marinette asks making me nod.


Alya gives us a sly smile, "Yep! 'Cause our school is the only school that uses that textbook!"


Oh, good...


"So all I gotta do is find out which girl in tenth grade lost her history textbook!" She says making my eyes widen as they walk down before me.


"There are forty-two female students in our school, not counting me or Marinette cause she has her textbook-"


"F-Forty-one!" I say and catch up to them, "Not counting both of you and me" I say nervously making them giggle, "Says the one who didn't have her textbook in class" They tease making me gulp, "W-Well, you guys know me, right? Forgetting things from time to time" I say making Alya laugh, "Just kidding, (Y/N). Of course, I'll drop you off my investigation only if you bring your history textbook back to class tomorrow" She says making me pout as we walk towards the exhibition.


Moment of truth.


"Whoa," I smile and look around at the exhibit.


Just a second later, someone comes rushing in and accidentally pushes me down. I feel a surge of pain on my leg, looking up at the guy whose attention's on his necklace and how it's not broken.


"Uh...I'm okay too. Thanks for asking," I say sarcastically as he mumbles.


"I-I'm sorry. Hey, you're from the tenth grade class in College Françoise Dupont, right? I'm Alix's brother, Jalil Kubdel. So you're here for Tutankhamen too?" The guy says not even letting me answer as he's rushing to the man behind us.


"Okay..."


"So, what did you bring us here for?" Alya gives me a sceptical look making me turn to Seven who is peeking out from my backpack before pointing to a manuscript on the wall, "H-Here," I say and pull them towards it, "Uh...." I bite my lip and look at Seven for answers before she points at something.


Before I could see it, Jalil, that guy from before pushes me softly before explaining to his dad about the manuscript, going on about how he can prove to how it's real.


His demeanour gives me a sense of deja vu.


"He kinda reminds me of a certain someone with crazy ideas.." I say gesturing to Alya making her roll her eyes, "You" I say and point to her making Marinette giggle, "You two might think my theories about Primvère Rosé and Ladybug are crazy but you watch, girls. I'll prove you wrong" She says making me roll my eyes.


We are once again interrupted by the pair.


"Jalil, these type of manuscripts are almost always the illustration of a legend," Jalil's father says catching our attention, "And It's called a legend for a reason," He says making Jalil say, "That what everyone thinks but I know it's real. I can prove it"


"And how exactly are you going to prove it?" His father argues, "I just need to get Tutankhamen's sceptre and recite the spell-"


"Are you serious? Jalil, get your head out of that papyrus and focus on the real world!" His father says making Jalil look disappointed.


I look at him sadly as he rushes out of the exhibit making me look at the manuscript one more time nervously.


Alya yawns and then takes out the book making me push it down, "Keep that down! I'm going to show you the secret to Primvère Rosé and Ladybug!" I say and hold her before pointing to random places, "About time! This better be blog worthy!" She says making Marinette giggle.


Suddenly my miraculous beeps and I feel a strong pain on my heart making me look around, "What's wrong, (Y/N)?" Marinette asks me making me touch my miraculous, "Uh.." I try to make it out of the exhibit before a statue-like being walks in making me gasp.


"Alya! Marinette!" I say as the statue-being throws bubbles at us but I quickly pull them down, "Alya!" Marinette yells as the said-girl pulls out her phone and starts recording.


I look around and quietly sneak out, "I've gotta transform," I say before getting ready for my stance, "Seven! It's springtime to bloom!" I say and then transform into Primvère Rosé before jumping into action, watching as the villain rips off the manuscript from the wall.


"You know that's considered stealing, right?" I say as I place a hand on my hip. He turns to me and gets in a stance.


"Actually, I'm taking back what's rightfully mine!" The akumatized villain says making me chuckle.


"Maybe if you're the real pharaoh which you're not!" I say and pull out my whip.


"Look at Primvère go!" I hear Alya say making me clench my teeth before signalling her to get down, "She waved at me!" She says making me sigh.


Ladybug enters the battle.


"Sorry if I took so long," I hear her jump down beside me,


"Not at all, Ladybug," I say before I extend my whip at the villain but he dodges it and throws me off to the wall. I fall to the ground and heave.


"Thanks for holding out the door for me," I hear a cocky voice making me look up at the source. Cat Noir looks at me in my state with amusement.


"Did I miss anything?"


"Nothing special. Just a wannabe-pharaoh trying to steal public property."


Cat Noir jumps into action but ends up having thrown into a coffin making me grumble.


"I'm coming!" I say as Ladybug and I try to get him out.


"Fate has placed you on my path. Come with me" The Pharaoh, seemingly noticing Alya, takes her away. The coffin pops out making Cat sit up.


"Let her go!" Ladybug says and runs towards them making me do the same.


"Hiding behind an innocent bystander!? How weak, Pharaoh!" Cat says as the villain traps us in the exhibit with the security bars.


"I'm way more powerful that you are," The Pharaoh says making me grit my teeth.


Alya waves at us, "And don't forget! All the latest behind the scenes are on my blog!" She says and winks at us as the Pharaoh walks away with her making me sigh.


"That Alya is one brave chick" Cat says making me look at him.


"Yeah, stubborn...." I say making Ladybug place count, "And bold" She adds making me chuckle, "Yep! That's her!" I say before looking at the bars, "Cat, get us out of her!" Ladybug says making him nod, "Cataclysm!" He says and rusts the bars making us get out.


His miraculous beeps making me look at him, "You guys go on. I'll join you as soon as my miraculous is charged up"


"Hurry," I say and place my hands on his shoulder, "It's gonna take team spirit to defeat him," I say softly before rushing out with Ladybug.


She gives me a funny look, "What was that about?"


"What do you mean?"


"I meant Cat Noir. You have some chemistry going on~" Ladybug teases making me scoff.


Five minutes later, Cat walks out of the room making us rush to the roof, "My batteries are all charged up" He says making me look down.


"Over there" I point to the middle of the mummies where Alya is with Pharaoh. She seems to be looking at the manuscript.


"Hey, whose that goddess chicks with those rose petals and the other with black spots. There on your papyrus,"


"Humra and Ladybug, my sworn enemies who prevented me from carrying out my ritual 5,000 years ago. But now I'm not going to let them stop Nefertiti from coming back to life!" He says angrily making me gasp, "What?"


Alya looks dumbfounded, "Ladybug? Humra? 5,000 years ago,"


"Everyone does have a past they can learn from" Ladybug says in an annoyed tone.


"Well, you sure did woo him back then~" He flirts making me roll my eyes, "Come on, Cat you take care of those mummies. Ladybug, take care of Alya and I'll take care of the rest" I say making Cat grumble.


"Why do I have to take care of all that while you both are going to 'round all of that?" He says making me giggle, "Easy," I say before jumping into action, "You're the bravest out of all of us," Ladybug says and does the same.


All of the mummies are lured away by Cat and Alya is saved by Ladybug but she gets taken away by Pharaoh yet again, "You will not win this time!" He roars and takes Alya and puts her on the beam of light. I click my tongue and look at him, "Crush them!" He says and lands on the ground.


We lure the mummies away from Cat to bus before tipping it over so much so that they don't get out, "We have to save Alya before she reaches that circle of darkness" We run towards the beam only to be stopped by Pharaoh.


"You will not stop me from bringing Nefertiti back. I will finish you all!" His face changes after he chants and shoots laser beams out of his eyes. Ladybug uses her yo-yo to imprison him in her grip. Cat goes for Alya while I go for the pendant, "No!" He says and chants before his face turns into a bird's and he flies around making me grumble, "Cat! Look out!" I say making the said-person duck.


The pendant falls as Ladybug pulls it, "Primvère! The pendant!" She says making me rush to it but Pharaoh gets there first. He chants and his face turns into a lion's. He clasps his hands into an explosion, sending us in the air and to the ground, "Ugh..." I groan.


"It's over," Pharaoh says as hoards of mummies come our way, "Oh, Ra, God of the Sun, accept this offering and bring the princess back to me!" He says making Ladybug swing her yo-yo into the sky, "Lucky Charm!" She says and an outfit fall on her hand, "A 'Primvère Rosé' outfit?" She confusedly tilts her head making me go into divine mode. The fake choker miraculous illuminates in light purple roses under my vision making me smirk, "May I?" I ask Ladybug making her chuckle, "You may" She hands over the outfit to me making me place the fake miraculous over the real one.


"What? I don't get it!" Cat says making me look at him with a smug look, "You'll see" I say, "This is what I mean by saying 'I'll take care of the rest'" I say before looking at Pharaoh as he burst into roaring laughter, "Ah, there's my cue"


"Wait!" I call out.


"What do you want!?" Pharaoh says making Ladybug and Cat look towards my direction. I mouth them 'Let me handle this' making them nod.


"Y-Yes, uh...it is I" I say and making my way towards his flying figure, "Oh, Pharaoh...Leave the mortal and take me instead," I say and raise my head up high.


Cat looks dumbfounded making Ladybug smack him on the head, "Sorry, Humra, but the ritual has already started" He says sarcastically making me sigh.


"What a shame...." I say and turn away, "What are you talking about?" Pharaoh says and looks at me making me turn to him once more, "Wouldn't it be the sweetest revenge? Five thousand years later, after all...I was with those who sought and kept you from carrying out your ritual and Nefertiti from you all these years. Am I not correct?" I say, "And now that I'm here, and you don't even take the chance for the advantage I've given to you"


"Yes, it is true that I could use you as sacrifice and after all, you are a much more precious sacrifice than this mortal" He says with a raised eyebrow making me look up at Alya, "Hey! I heard that!" She says making me look back at him.


"Free the mortal and let me take her place as sacrifice, causing no harm or suffering for the others, and make no mistake, dear Pharaoh" I say and stand making him look at me from top to bottom, "Come on, now" He says and picks me up, lifting me towards the beam.


I take a final look at Ladybug giving her a signal making her nod, "Seriously" Alya says as Pharaoh pushes her off the beam making me gasp as she falls on the ground. He puts me on the beam and holds out his hand making me sigh, "You win, Pharaoh" I say and take out the fake miraculous. I snatch the pendant from his wrist and look at him, "You want my miraculous, go and get it!" I say and throw it away making him gasp, "Get it!" He says and flies away making me smirk.


It only takes him a second to realize that it was a fake after he catches it, "A toy! You tricked me!" He says making me grin with a smirk.


I throw the pendant to Ladybug before she smacks it and de-evilises it making the beam disappear and I fall.


"Whoa!" I yelp before Cat catches me making me frown, "I could've got down myself, you know" I say as we land on the ground, "I'll never miss a chance for you to be in my arms, m'lady~" He says making me get out of his grip, "Yeah, yeah. Thanks anyway" I say and walk towards Ladybug, "You ready?" She says to me making me nod.


"Miraculous Primrose/Ladybug!" We say in unison as I release an arrow and she throws the outfit in the sky, turning everything back to normal.


"What happened?" I hear a Jalil say making me smile, "No more injustice in the world and here's a token from a rose~" I say and then purple rose petals form around me and then approach him and swivel around his neck before another pendant appears. The pendant looks like Nefertiti's small figure making an addition to his old necklace but kind of smaller.


I look at Alya who stands up making me walk towards her, "Are you okay?" I say making her nod before taking out her phone and start recording, "Primvère, I, uh...still gotta ask...how old are you and Ladybug?" She says as the said and Cat approach towards us.


"That's not my question to answer!" I say and extend my whip escaping the area before anything else.


I transform back and then rush to the exhibit before sneaking the History textbook out from Alya's bag into mine.


In a second, I see Alya walk in making me run towards her, "Where have you been!?" She says making me chuckle.


"Ugh! I got mummified!" I said as Marinette walked towards us, "Me too!" She says making me laugh, "Hope you weren't the ones trying to swap me for Nefertiti!" She says making me act surprised, "What? You were almost sacrificed?!" Marinette and I say in unison, "If it hadn't been for you, (Y/N), I'd never find out that Ladybug and Primvère are 5,000 years old!" She says making me smirk.


"Hey, what are friends for?" I say and walk away as she reaches for her bag, "I still don't get it though...what was Primvère doing with that tenth-grade textbook?" Marinette says as she walked beside me making Alya rummage through her bag, "Uh..she...um...probably had to find out what was going on for the past 50 centuries, I guess" I say with a sweat drop making her smile, "You're probably right. It's tough staying in the loop" Alya says making me sigh, "Hey...Primvère's textbook! It's gone!" She says making me giggle as she looked through her bag.


I giggle mischievously before she sulks and we walk to our homes.


---


"I don't get it...I'm not 5,000 years old, so, who exactly was that primrose miraculous holder in the papyrus?" I ask Seven as she sits on top of my textbook, "So, that isn't you on the papyrus either?" I ask making her giggle.


"What do you think?" She gives me a cute smile making me smile, "You don't look 5,000 years old," I say and caress her head making her chuckle.


"Well, I'm not...I'm older than that. I'm the Kwami who has watched over every single Primrose Miraculous holders since the very beginning and I'll stay till the end," She says making me frown, "You must've known much more worthy holders than me, right?" I say making her shake her head, "Every holder is different. Humra, here, was strong-willed and ready to protect everyone in her grasp!" She says making me look down.


"Yeah, that's what I thought..."


"Don't take this the wrong way....(Y/N), you are different. But different as in surprising, unpredictable, endearing and sassy.....and hella cool by the way, and very, very talented. You learned pretty quick for a rookie," She said as I giggled.


"Really?" I ask making her nod, "Very true!" She says making me smile and kiss her cheek as I held her up with my hands, "You should go to sleep..." She says making me chuckle, "Sure, Grandma," I joke sarcastically.


"Yeah...stop it, you know you have a history test tomorrow" She says making me smile, "Good thing it's on Ancient Egypt" I say and place her on her personal pillow, "Good night, Seven" I say making her smile, "Good night" She said making me turn off the light and close my eyes to the abyss of sleep.


End Chapter.
