Chapter 1: Bells Of The Temple
Our story takes place in Ancient Egypt, a proud kingdom that worshipped three mighty Gods.
Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra.
In the centre of town stood a miraculous temple know as The Temple Of Ra.
In front of this temple was a little town square, where different people sell, buy or do beautiful performances, magic and puppet shows for money.
Near the temple was a gypsy cart.
The Gypsy people of Egypt were frowned upon by the other people, but they still put up with the abuse they received day in and day out.
In the gypsy cart stood the fortune teller and story teller Ishizu Ishtar and her younger brother Marik.
She began to tell the children who had gathered and her cart a story.
"Listen, their beautiful no? So many colours and sounds, so many changing moods. Cause you know they don't ring all by themselves."
"They don't?!" Marik gasped.
"No you silly boy, up their high, high in the dark bell tower lives the mysterious bell ringer." She said and pointed to the tower at the top of the temple.
"I will tell the tale of a man...and a monster."...
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near the temple
In a rowing boat on the freezing water was three men and a woman trying to sneak out of the city.
Three of them were gypsies who had grown tired of the treatment they got and were attempting to leave Egypt to start a better life.
"Shut it up will you!" The woman's husband whispered.
"We'll be spotted!" His friend added.
"Hush little one." The woman soothed to the crying baby in her arms
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near the temple
When they got near the gates of the city, the three gypsies climbed out the bout and onto the docks and prepared to walk the rest of the way.
"Four gold coins for the trip." The man rowing the boat smiled.
Suddenly and arrow went through the man's paddle and before anyone had a chance to move dozens of soldiers filled the docks
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells
The sound of house shoes filled the air, all four people turned towards the source and frozen in fear.
"Judge Dartz." The woman's husband gasped as Dartz came up to them on his horse.
Judge Dartz longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin
And he saw corruption
Everywhere
Except within
"Bring these gypsy vermin in the palace for they judgment." Dartz sneered as his soldiers pull shackles on the men and dragged them away.
"You there! What are you hiding?!" One soldier asked angrily when he saw the woman holding something close to her chest.
"Stolen goods no doubt, take them from her!" Dartz ordered
She ran
The woman ran as fast as she could with her baby through every gap, over every box and down every alley but Dartz was still on her tail.
After she had jumped over a tall fence she was sure she had lost Dartz for now.
The Temple Of The Gods came into her line of vision.
Quickly she ran to the door and tried to open the giant wooden doors but they were tightly locked.
"PLEASE LET ME IN!" She cried.
She turned around and saw Dartz on his horse charging straight at her.
The woman tried to run away but it was to late, Dartz grabbed hold of her baby's blanket.
When she tried to pull away the man kicked her hard in the stomach.
As she fell she hit her head hard on he stone steps, killing her instantly.
A sudden cry came from the blanket and when Dartz looked he saw the baby.
It had pale skin, wide amethyst eyes and black star-shaped hair with violet tips.
Suddenly purple sparks shot out of the baby's hands, he had shadow magic.
A very rare but special gift very few gypsies possessed.
Dartz gasped and looked around for something to get rid of the child.
He saw a well.
Just as he was about to drop the baby in it's watery grave someone stopped him.
"STOP!" The temple keeper, Solomon, cried.
"This is an unholy demon, I'm sending it back to hell where it belongs." Dartz glared as Solomon lifted the now dead woman into his arms.
See here the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of the temple
"I am guiltless, she ran and I pursued." Dartz said as he rose his horse over to the old man's side.
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of the temple
"My conscience is clear!" The man with jade hair exclaimed
You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can run from
Nor hide what you've done from the eyes
The very eyes of the temple
Dartz looked around and sure enough, every single statue around the temple was staring at him with cold stone eyes
And for one time in his live
Of power and control
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
"What must I do?" Dartz asked in fear.
"Care for the child, and raise it as your own." Solomon replied as he carried the lifeless woman into the temple.
"Very well, but he will live here with you in your church."
Solomon's eyes widened.
"But where?" He asked.
"Anywhere." Dartz said.
Just so he's kept locked away
Where no one else can see
"The bell tower perhaps." Dartz grinned and turned back to the baby.
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me
"And Dartz gave the child a cruel name, a name for the weak. Yugi Mouto." Ishizu said to the children.
Now here is a riddle To guess if you can
Sing the bells of the temple
Who is the monster and who is the man?
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of the temple
