Chapter One
Legend has it that every 100 years or so the Legendary Skycity of Avalon invites the rulers of Egypt and Rome to what they call 'The Gathering' no one knows why the majestic city started such a tradition but the royal families of Egypt and Rome were pleased that they're countries were constantly picked to participate in such an event. The people of Avalon were always curious of what happens below them but they were forbidden to travel to the lower cities as they called it. For some curiousity got the best of them and they were never seen again, some noble families of Avalon say that they were killed for attempting to leave the skycity while others say that the ones who left are leaving carefree lives. The current king of Avalon Solomon Motou and his grandson Prince Yugi have destroyed the rule of leaving the skycity that was made by their ancestors so long ago. They would not hold their people against their will if they wish to leave let them and if they wish to come to home they would welcome open them with open arms. The heir of the Kingdom Prince Yugi has the curiousity of his people and wished to leave to the lower cities as well but he was forbidden by his grandfather, a rule that would stay in tact. Prince Yugi's face was never seen because it was covered by a mask only to be removed when he has found true love and has announced marriage to his grandfather and the council of Avalon. It was finally time for the gathering once again but this time they didn't know that this gathering would cause chaos among the skycity...
Prince Yugi sat in the gardens in his hand a red rose, a black mask with emerald jewels covering his face he was wearing a purple silk kimono that matched his eyes perfectly, a sigh escaped his lips as he reached up and touched his face
"Will I ever be able to remove this" he thought bitterly
He turned at the sound of footsteps pretty soon his friend Jou showed up, Jou was his the only companion he was allowed have because the risk of being killed was to great and constantly repeated in the royal family history, Jou had blond hair and amber eyes and was currently wearing a red kimono. The blonde sat next to him and noticed the bitter look in his friends eyes
"What's wrong Yugi?" he asked as he rubbed his friend shoulder
"It's nothing Jou I'm just thinking about this stupid mask it's hot and sweaty" Yugi said with a pout on his face
Jou laughed as he patted his friend head
"It's okay Yugi you'll find true love soon enough and you'll get married to a handsome man or a beautiful woman" he said
Yugi turned towards him and smiled as he hugged him tightly
"Thank you Jou you always know how to cheer me up"
Throne Room
King Solomon was currently looking into his mirror, it was a magic mirror that showed him any image that he wanted and currently he was looking in Egypt, the ruler Pharoh Atemu looked remarkably like his grandson Yugi. he had heard about Atemu he was known as the
'Seductive Pharaoh' his thoughts were broken when Yugi walked in and bowed
"Did you want to see me grandpa" Yugi said as walked up to Solomon
The king nodded as he showed Yugi the mirror image
"This is Pharaoh Atemu of Egypt he will be coming to gathering this year" Solomon said
Yugi stared at the image in amazement
"Why he looks just like me it's incredible" the prince said
Solomon nodded "Yes he does look like you only older and more mature" he said
Yugi glared at him
"Grandfather I'm mature as well!'
Solomon laughed as he patted Yugi on the head
"Yes I know my boy but now the messangers have sent out the invitations to the rulers and their advisors and I want you to meet them at Avalons Gate" he said
Yugi nodded as he left to find Jou to tell him the news
Egypt
Pharoh Atemu sat on his throne with a bored look on his face next to him was his childhood friend Mana who look just as bored as he did
He leaned over and whispered to her "Mana let's go" he said to her
Mana glanced at him as if he was crazy she sighed and shook her head at him
"You know we can't leave Atemu the council will just come after you" she said as she yawned
Atemu growled and leaned back into the chair, Atemu had tri-colored hair of black, magneta and blond bangs framing his face and crimson eyes he was known for his seductive smile and charm but now he was going to be known for his anger and boredom. Standing up he glared at his advisors
"This meeting is concluded until further notice and I don't want to hear or see any of you until I call for you again!" he said as he left the throne room with a happy Mana trailing behind him
The councilors sighed as they rubbed their foreheads in exhaustion
Atemu and Mana made it to the gardens of the palace. Mana laughed happily as she took of her sandals and laid her feet and set them in the water she turned to Atemu who was staring up at the sky
"Thanks" she said as she laid back into the grass
Atemu smiled at her Mana was like a little sister to him
"Anytime Mana" he replied
"Hey Atemu?" she asked softly as she laid her eyes on him
"Yes?" he asked
"Are you going to the gathering this year?" she asked him in a slightly shaking voice
Atemu noticed and sat beside her
"I don't know if the current has been watching us flourish this year then yes" he said
Mana laid her head on his strong shoulder
"If you're going than can I go as one of your advisors it'll be boring without you" she said softly
Atemu smiled as he wrapped her arms around her and laid his head on her hair
"Sure you can come little sister it'll be boring without you to" he said, they were interrupted when a gaurd came in and bowed and handed him a letter
"A message for you Pharaoh" the guard said as he bowed and left
Atemu opened the letter and read
Pharaoh Atemu of Egypt

I hope you will enjoy your stay here wait outside your kingdom and we will pick you up in three weeks time
King Solomon of Avalon
Atemu and Mana stared at each other and smiled
"It looks like were going to Avalon"
