Section 1: Before

Chapter 1: The Meeting

It was a humid Egyptian night, and Simon Muron warned the young pharaoh not to go out. He had a habit of dressing like a commoner and going to play cards. He also had a habit of not listening. Simon was starting to regret teaching the young pharaoh the game at all. Though, Simon had to admit, he was very skilled.

The pharaoh was fifteen, and very adventurous as most teens are. He met his friends, Teana, Jono, and Trikan, in the town's square.

"Hey Yami!" they said together.

"Hey," Pharaoh Yami replied.

"Let's look around. After all, it is a festival," Teana said.

They looked around awhile until they heard a beautiful music coming from a corner of the square. They made there way through the crowd to get a better look at the performance. Yami stopped dead when he seen the girl who was singing.

She was beautiful! More beautiful than all the girls in his court. Her, real, brown hair came down to her shoulders with two blonde streaks surrounding her face. She had warm olive green eyes that scanned the crowd every so often. The girl had on a white tube and a white knee length skirt. Around her neck was a small gold ankh on a black string. Yami now believed in love at first sight.

Yami was amazed when the girl started to sing a pretty love song. Her voice was so enchanting. Her eyes scanned the crowd, and stopped on him. He'll never forget the look on her face, as if she fell in love with him too. From that moment on, their hearts and souls would be forever bound.

* * * * *

Little did they know, a ruthless, cold-hearted mage named Seth also had his eye on the girl singing in the plaza. He didn't see who she had her eye on, but he did see the look in her eyes. Seth didn't like the fact that a girl of such beauty could love anyone but him. He wanted her by his side, and he always got what he wanted. And he never cared how. Seth smiled to himself. His plan was ingenious.

* * * * *

Yami and his friends found the girl by the edge of the Nile River, rinsing the sweat off her forehead. She was as beautiful as ever. Jono's and Trikan's eyes widen, but Yami's stayed the same. He usually didn't lose his cool around girls.

"Great show. You sing beautifully," Yami said.

The girl jumped, obviously startled, and turned around to see who spoke. "Oh, thank you. And you are…?" she asked.

"My name is Yami. This is Teana, Jono, and Trikan," Yami answered, pointing to each of them.

"I am Chelea, Chelea Con Carni," Chelea said, smiling slightly.

"Would you like to join us, or would you rather rest? After all you did out there, I could have never been able to do that!" Teana said.

"Thanks. I can teach you someday," Chelea offered. "It's actually quite easy."

They walked around the festival while Chelea told them about herself. All the while Yami listened intently, debating whether to tell her about who he really was, Pharaoh Yami. He finally decided he would tell her when the time came. When he did decide to tell her, he was going to ask her to live in the palace with him.

Chelea's story was one of those sad but true stories. Her mother died when she was a baby, and her father re-married. She had four sisters and two brothers. She was the youngest out of all of them. As she grew up, she became more beautiful (even though she said she wasn't). When she was three, her step-mother was starting to become aware of her beauty, and she didn't like that at all. She ordered Chelea's father to banish her from the house. Chelea's father was crushed, but he dared not disobey his wife.

Chelea spent most of her life by the Nile River. Because of her "beauty", she had to learn to defend herself. She became very skilled in all sorts of fighting, swords and fists mostly. The animals, even the vicious Nile crocodiles, started to like her very quickly. Chelea learned how to dance from the strange behavior of the Nile birds.

Yami found himself falling more deeply in love with her with each passing word. He didn't know why though…

"But enough about me, I want to hear about all of you," Chelea said.

"Nothing really to except we're best friends," Yami answered her.

"But Yami-" Jono started, but Yami gave him a silencing look.

"What?" Chelea asked, looking at both of them.

"Nothing…" Jono muttered.

Me: Ugh! That was terrible! *bangs head off desk*

Yami: I don't think it was.

Me: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT!

Yami: O.O

Me: Anyway, in case any of y'all is confused, "Chelea" sounds like "chili". And yes I know chili con carnie is a food dish. My evil swim instructor started calling me that after Ashley (hereby know as "Devil's Spawn") kept calling me Chelea… *grumbles*

Darn. There's something else I wanted to say… Oh yeah! Flames are accepted (though I prefer nice reviews ^_^) because they kick my butt into shape. I have other stories not on FanFiction they are WAY better than this, I just wanted to get Chelea's story out.

Ok. I'm done babbling. R&R!

Oh, it MIGHT take me awhile to update cause school is so evil.
