Atem woke with a start. He could smell smoke and someone was yelling at him.

"Yugi! Yugi! Get up! Get out of the house! Now!"

He coughed. He looked around the room and noticed that it wasn't his room. There was a small dresser in the corner and a small window.

He heard the voice again and looked towards it. There was a middle aged woman and an old man, both of them yelling at him to leave the burning down house. Quickly he got out of bed and ran outside.

Once he was outside he saw an old man and woman trying to stop the fire from burning down the small house.

Pharaoh Atem woke with a start. He looked around him and noticed that he was back in his room in his palace.

'That was a strange dream.' He thought as he held his head in his hands. There was a knock at his door and a guard came in.

"Pharaoh, breakfast will be in an hour." The guard bowed and left.

Atem quickly had a bath and got dressed. He made his way down to the dining room and saw Isis and Mahado. They both stood up as Atem sat down. After he had sat down, they too sat.

"How was your sleep Pharaoh?" Isis asked.

"I had a strange dream." Atem replied.

"What was it about?" Isis asked.

"Well, I woke up and was in a strange room, and there was smoke everywhere! I heard someone calling out and telling me to get out of the house, so I did. When I got out the house I saw two elderly people trying to put out the fire."

"A house in the village burnt down last night. I heard a teenage boy was the only survivor. An old man and middle aged woman both died, presumably the boy's mother and grandfather." Mahado told Atem.

"I want to meet him." Atem's interest was clearly shown in the incident and the boy.

"My Pharaoh, I'm not sure that is possible. You are very busy today." Mahado said, but Isis interrupted him.

"I'll take you."

"Thank you Isis."

When Atem and Isis were in the carriage, Mahado was saying goodbye to them.

"Are you sure you want to do this Pharaoh?"

"Yes, Mahado, I'm sure." Mahado looked at Isis unsurely. He didn't seem to think this was a good idea.

Isis looked back at him with a sure look on her face. She smiled at him and told him she would take care of the pharaoh.

They left, silent on the ride there.

"We are here, my Pharaoh." The driver said.

Atem looked around as he got out of the carriage. He saw the house that he saw burn down in his dream.

'I wonder who this boy is, and why I had that dream? I am really looking forward to meeting him.' Atem thought.

The old man and woman that Atem saw in his dream came out of the house that was still standing. They bowed low on the ground.

"Your Highness! What a pleasant surprise!" The old man said.

"May I meet this young boy who survived that fire?" Atem asked, getting straight to the point. He didn't like the look of this old man.

"Right this way, Your Highness." The old man got up and led Atem into his house. He showed him to a door at the back of the house. The old man knocked.

"Yugi, you have a visitor."

"Go away!" Atem heard the voice through the door.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." The old man opened the door and led the way inside.

The teenage boy, Yugi, was covered by his blankets on his bed.

"Yugi! Get up!" The old man barked. Slowly the blanket covering Yugi was removed and the boy Yugi sat up.

"Can't you..." Yugi suddenly stopped talking when he noticed Atem standing in his room. He scrambled up and bowed down low.

"I'm so sorry, My Pharaoh, I didn't know you were here." Yugi sounded almost scared.

"Please, it is ok. Stand up." Yugi reluctantly stood up.

Atem got to really see him now. Yugi looked remarkably like himself. He had the same hair style. His eyes were a deep purple, and he was quite small. Yugi seemed to shiver under Atem's gaze.

"Isis!" He called, who was waiting in the door way, "Help Yugi collect his belongings. He is coming with us."

Isis looked at Atem. She was not sure what had gotten into him, but she did as he ordered. Atem left to get back into the carriage.

"Is there anything you need?" Isis asked Yugi. Yugi looked down at the ground.

"All my belongings were lost in the fire." He replied.

Isis nodded and led Yugi out of the house. They both got in the carriage and the old man said goodbye to Atem, who ignored the man. 'What a suck up!'

The ride back to the palace was quiet. Yugi kept looking at the ground, unsure what to do. He had never been in this situation before. He didn't want to do anything to get himself killed, if he wasn't already on the way there.

Isis looked between the Pharaoh and Yugi.

'Is this the boy I had a vision of the other day? If so, he could bring great happiness to the Pharaoh, but he could also bring great sorrow.' She thought to herself.

"We are here." Atem got out of the carriage, "Welcome, to your new home." Atem said to Yugi as he too got out of the carriage.

Yugi looked around. It was magnificent! Never before had he seen so many beautiful gardens! Yugi loved to be outdoors among the flowers.

"Pharaoh! You're back! How was your..." Seto started. He looked at Yugi, "Who is that?"

"This is Yugi. Please take him to a spare room to get him cleaned up and ready for lunch." Atem said the last part to a servant that was nearby. The servant bowed and led Yugi away.

"Please say he is not staying." Seto said to Atem, looking as Yugi followed the servant.

Atem gave Seto a look and started up to the palace.

"Pharaoh, you can't be serious! You can't let him stay here!" Seto said as he caught up with Atem.

"And why not?" Atem asked. Isis also caught up with them both.

"Because. Are you going to start bringing all orphaned children into the palace now?" Seto argued.

"No! Of course not!" Atem argued back. Atem went to his quarters of the palace and Seto stared in disbelief.

"And what have you got to say Isis? Did you encourage this?"

"Of course not Seto! But I don't want you to stop it. I had a vision."

"About what?" Seto was now very interested.

"The Pharaoh and this young boy."

"What happens in your vision?" Seto asked, hoping to get more of an answer.

"I cannot tell. Just don't push the Pharaoh to get rid of this boy. He brings great pleasure for the pharaoh, but he also comes with great sorrow." Isis excused herself and left Seto standing there, thinking about how his day could get any worse.
