Chapter 1
It was a hot summer day in the city of Egypt but that didn't stop the city residents. The market was lively with many merchants trying to sell their goods to the people who lived their. The castle was fairly quiet for it being one of the hottest days of the year. The pharaoh sat on his thrown room listening to the cries of his people. His queen to his right as she watched carefully of each person.
Somewhere in the castle was a beautiful garden that belonged to the queen. Several exotic plants grew and cared for by her personally and a hand picked of servants. In the gardens were two children who were playing hide and seek. The first child was a boy who was 13 summers old. He had gravity defying spiked hair and blond bangs. His hair was black with red tips and lightning bolt of blonde in the spikes. The boy had a deep tan and his eyes were red like rubies.
The boy's name was Atem and he was the prince of Egypt which why he was allowed in the queen's garden. He was currently hiding behind an oak tree that was gifted to his mother a couple of years ago. He peaked around a corner hoping he wasn't found. When the coast was clear he let out a little sigh as he sat down taking a rest under the nice shade the tree had provide.
"Boo," a voice squeaked scaring Atem.
"Not funny Dially," Atem said glaring at the child who was laughing at him.
"Sorry Até," Dially said pushing her blonde hair out of the way.
Dially was a princess from a nearby kingdom called Utopia. Her blonde hair reaching to her shoulders as she looked over at Atem with amusement on her crystal blue eyes. She was pale even though she spends just as much time in the sun as Atem does. She is Atem's best friend and you wouldn't see one without the other.
"I hear your Dad is getting married," Atem said once they sat by near the fountain.
"Oh yeah in one month I'm gonna have a new mom," Dially said smiling happily at Atem.
"My Dad says I'm going get married when I become Pharaoh," Atem said.
"My Dad says I need to marry someone in the future too," Dially said pouting at the idea.
"We have to fill out a marriage contract to the person we love," Atem said.
"Have any girls tried to ask you out," Dially asked making Atem groan.
"Several. I'm starting to think I prefer men over women," Atem said making Dially giggle.
"I have an idea that'll keep women off of you," Dially said making Atem curious at her idea.
"What's your idea," Atem asked.
"Let's make a contract," Dially said happily.
"Okay," Atem said.
"How about 3 years after you're eligible to marry; if you don't find someone then we marry each other. That way you won't have to marry someone you don't love," Dially said.
"Alright but you have to find me someone to marry," Atem said.
"Okay; let's write it down and make it official" Dially said happily shaking hands with Atem.
The two went off to the study room and pulled out a scroll. Getting a quill, they wrote down the idea on the scroll. Agreeing that this was the best option they both signed it.
This is my first official book. I am not new to the platform as I have several different accounts on different sites. I just wanted to do something different with this and make myself anonymous. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I do now own Yu-Gi-Oh
