Chapter 1: The Beginning. .
Some things start out big. .
In a world so different yet so alike then our own, back when the world now known as Earth was being ruled by Dinosaurs. . This new world had already evolved to the new future where the people and the spirit world were in peace with each other. When a person is born, it is born with a spirit animal beside them, to guide them and protect them. The Spirit animal were in the shape of Duel Monsters and were later called Duel Spirits.
Now there were many types of Duel Spirits, that it confused the people for a while till they came up to split the people into different tribes to represent and honor their Duel Spirits.
Yet even with many different Duel Spirits, there were only three main types of Duel Spirits. .
The first main one were the flying Duel Spirits. These Duel Spirits made their people worship the Sky God, The Sky Scout as well as the air that they breathe. . Many of these villages would live high in the mountains as on their arms, there would be the markings or tattoos of their Duel Spirit, many would call out their Duel Spirit animal and they could control the sky, wind and air. .
The second main one was the water Duel Spirits. These Duel spirits made their people worship the Water God, Jace, the Mind Sculptor and the water they would drink. Many of these villages would live near the water as on their cheek of their faces would be water tattoos or markings of their Duel Spirits, as many would call out to their Duel Spirits and they could control the water, the waves, and the mere ocean. .
The third and last main one was the land Duel Spirits. These Duel spirits made their people worship The Earth Goddess, Amazoness Sword Woman and the earth they would walk on. Many of these villages would live deep in the jungle as on their backs were tattoos or markings of their Duel Spirits, as many would call out to their Duel Spirits and they could control the mountains, the dirt and the vegetation that would grow there. .
For a awhile there was nothing but peace between the tribes and among the people. . Till one vengeful and merciless God, Exodia The Forbidden One, angered by the way that people were worshiping his brothers and sister and were dismissing him, decided to take revenge. So with his own fresh and blood, he gave birth to Gandora, The Dragon of Destruction tribe . .
He made this tribe, full of cannibals and criminals that only satisfy their hunger for destruction and blood toward their fellow people and Duel Spirits, this tribe would travel to any tribes closer to them and they would hunt them down. . .
This is where our story begins.
It was early in the morning as in the dept of a jungle, The Tribe of The Duel Spirit of The Dark Magician, were getting ready for it's daily chores and the preparation for the tribe's neighboring sisters, The Blue Eyes White Dragon to come in . The tribe were almost done when the drums and horn sounds came, signaling that the tribe's neighboring sisters people have arrive. . The elders welcome each other as the people welcome their sisters and brothers from the different tribe. .
It was going to be a very special occasion for one little boy for this was also the day that he would be meeting his Aunt for the first time. The boy had dark short brown hair, light tan skin with icy blue piercing eyes as he was wearing golden elbow bracelets while he was wearing a whitish grey tunic for boys while he was barefoot while on his left arm was the marking of his Duel Spirit.
His tribe believed in tattooing the children at a young age, as his tattoo was a Blue Eyes White Dragon, the Duel Spirit was only a hatchling as it was around the boy's shoulder as he was walking while holding his mother's hand. .
She was a beautiful woman, her dark brown hair was in twin braids which was held by a fur headband, she had blue rock shaped earrings, a beaded necklaces and and blue bracelets. She was wearing creamy white knee length tube top dress as she was barefoot, with ankle bracelets. Her stomach was heavy with life, while walking on the other side was her was her Duel Spirit. An adult female Blue Eyes White Dragon, her name was Nofret, her son's name was Seto. .
Nofret was visiting her sister, after marrying her husband and having Seto, she moved with her husband's tribe leaving behind her family and her younger sister but today was the special day for it was Reunion Week, where neighboring tribes would get together and cerebrate their ways of worshiping the gods. .
Nofret held her son's hand while she walked as Seto was looking around with wonder in his eyes, he never see so many Dark Magicians and Dark Magician Girls in one place before! It was so exciting plus he was going to get to see Aunt that he never knew he had! Seto smiled toothy at his mama while she was looking for her sister.
"Nofret!" Nofret heard a familiar voice, it may have sound different but it was her . . She turn to see a woman, she only stood 5 ft tall, tan skin and the most beautiful dark ruby eyes, she had beautiful mid-back golden hair with some streaks of black in her hair, her bangs were pulled back by her beaded headdress as she was wearing a white kalasiris with a draped silk see through coat. She was wearing a Wesekh collar necklace with two gold bracelets on both of her wrists while she was barefoot. Beside her was her Duel Spirit which was A Dark Magician Girl.
"Net!" Nofret nearly ran with her son toward her sister, once she was close enough, she let go of her son's hand and hugged her sister as Net chuckled before hugged her sister back.
Nofret pulled back as she smiled at her sister, "Look at what you are wearing! What are you? The Wife of the chief?" She asked as Net smiled bashfully as Nofret's eyes widen before started to giggle before it turn into a full blow laughter with her sister joining her.
"Oh Net, I'm so happy for you! Who would have guess you would have married the Chief! I told you that Akhenamkhanen had a thing for you." Nofret said happily to her sister as Net smiled bashfully at her sister.
"Oh, I see you and Aknadin have been busy." Net hinted toward Nofret's heavy stomach as she smiled bashfully before she felt a tug on her dress.
"Oh, Net. This is my son, Seto, Seto this is your aunt Net." Nofret said as Seto smiled toothy while Net giggled as she saw her nephew, she then crouched down to his level with a big smile.
"Hello Seto, look at how big you are. Now I have a big job for you." Net said with a smile as Seto looked at her with his big icy blue eyes as Net knew that this was going to thrill her big sister.
"I just had a son, now he's not that big and I need someone to take care of him till he's old enough. . Can you do it?" She asked as Seto's eyes widen before he smiled and nodded happily as Net smiled at her cute nephew.
"That's wonderful Sister! Now where is my nephew and my new brother?" Nofret said happily, she was beyond happy that her sister had a son and a husband much like she does.
"Come, we talk in the house." Net said with a smile as she lead her sister and nephew toward her house. Nofret was soon impressed at seeing her sister's home, it was a 2 story home made of stone, it had beautiful shingles for the roof and openings for the windows had bars, to keep stray animals from coming in and she had a door made of wood. All in all, it was a pretty impressive house, consisting that her sister was the wife of the chief and had given birth to the next one.
She whistled, impressively "Nice House." She comment as Net chuckled before she ushered her sister and nephew in.
They walked in the massive home, the saw the house was equipped with house hold stuff as they walked around hallways to a room where a soft cooing could be heard. Net knew that her son's nurse was inside as she walked in with her sister and nephew to see her son's nurse, Nefet as she was watching the child with a smile on her face.
Beside her was her Duel Spirit which was a Dark Magician Girl, she was watching over the child with her chosen one.
"Thank you Nefet, for watching my son." Net said as the nurse turn and bowed to her chief's wife before she left the room as Net walked toward her son's crib while above them were a hand made baby mobile with small wooden shaped Duel Spirits. .
Her son had an extremely extravagant hair features multiple layers including long blond crocked, pointy locks for his fringe. The rest of his hair features five large spikes colored black with red (with a hint of magenta) rims all along the edges. He was light skinned with narrow dark ruby eyes which were close for the moment.
Seto stood on his toes to see the child and frowned, "He's small. . And why don't he have a Duel Spirit?" Seto asked as Nofret looked at her son with the look as Net giggled at her nephew's response to the baby boy.
"Well, In this tribe, you don't get them till you at least three years of age and some things start out small, very small. But let me tell something, sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest changes of all." Net said with a big smile as Seto looked confused but smiled at his aunt.
"Would you like to take him out so he could see his other family?" Net asked as Seto's eyes widen with excitement as he nodded his head in a yes fashion as Net giggled before she grabbed her sling and wrapped it around Seto's small waist as she gently placed the baby boy in it very securely around the sling.
"Are you sure about this Nofret, I mean Seto's only 5 years old." Nofret warned her sister as Net waved her hand in a nonchalantly fashion.
"I'm sure Seto will take care of his cousin, beside Nefet will watch them." She said as the nurse walked in with a tray of water when she heard that she was in charge of the two children, she nodded in delight.
She and Seto as well as the Duel Spirits hurried out as Seto being very careful with his new cousin as he looked around at the festival that was going on in the village, there were dancing, food being brought and even games to play. . Seto played the games for a while till he was playing hide and seek with Nefet. .
Seto giggled as he hid in the tall grass while he could hear Nefet calling out his name, he was holding his baby cousin, he hushed his Duel Spirit when suddenly Seto heard a crack like something was near him, as it was quiet, something wasn't right. . He stood up as he looked around and saw something was a few feet away. . It looked like -
He jumped out the way when a spear stabbed the ground was where he was last standing, Seto gasped when he saw it had blood on it, Sensing that danger was near, Seto hurried back to Nefet who was still yelling his name.
"HELP! HELP!" Seto yelled in terror when Nefet turn look to where Seto's was yelling with a smile before her eyes widen with fear for behind Seto and his cousin, running and raising their spears at them was the wretched tribe of Gandora. .
Seto ran with all his might as he hurried past Nefet who seem to be frozen in fear, he heard a scream and he knew that a spear had gone right through her heart as she gasped in pain before she fell to the ground. .
"GANDORA!" Seto screamed with terror in his voice as he was ran through the village, it seem to caused panicked through the village as women hurried to gather their children, while men hurried to gather their spears and their Duel Spirits to prepare for battle. .
Seto ran through the crowd of panicked people as best as he could while carefully holding on to his cousin. . Seto gasped in terror as he could see that many of the houses were being burned down as archers from the other side were firing fire light arrows at the house. .
He saw his aunt's house and ran in the house, "Mom! Aunt Net!" He screamed as he saw outside the window from the corner of his eye was nothing but a blood bath with fire burning though the village..
He barely got up the steps when he heard the door was busted open and a brute's voice yelling "Honey I'm home!"
He ran with all his might when he saw his mom and aunt, "Mom we need to leave!" Seto said but before Net could come up with a plan she gasped when a few feet away from Seto was the head of the Gandora. . Dartz. .
He was smirking at them, he looked at the kids at then at the women and in a blink of an eye two of his men were holing the women while one held the brats. .
"Let go of me!" Seto snapped as he fought one of the thugs before he grimaced when the thug grabbed his hair as he kept on fighting while holding his cousin. .
"Let my son go!" Nofret screamed as she tried free herself but it only result to the man getting tired of her as he turn her around and slapped her with a force that it made her fall on her side.
"She's pregnant, you monster!" Net screamed as she broke free from the thug and she hurried to her fallen sister before she was grabbed by her arm by Dartz as he looked at her lustfully. .
He then turn to the man who was holding the brats and smirked, "Take those kids out of here, we could use some new recruits." He said as his men began to laugh as Net's eyes widen with fear and terror.
"Aunt Net! Don't let them take us! Aunt Net!" Seto screamed as his cousin began to cry while the thug merely picked up the struggling children and walked out of the door as Seto's screams could be heard. .
"DON'T YOU EVEN DARE!" Net screamed as she tried to get to the children but they were gone as she started to cry but in a flash, she turn and scratched the man's face as he growled as her. .
"Well look who's feisty. ." Dartz said with a glare before he smirk as he slapped her hard as she fell, hitting her head on the floor, knocking her unconscious. .
He turn to his comrade with a smirk, "You can have the other one. ." The man nodded his thanks as Dartz with a smirk on his face look toward the fallen woman, the brute began to lower his pants and began ripped the woman's dress with his knife. .
The eyes of the toys could only watch in horror as the two woman were forceful taken again and again with the woman fighting when they both came back to conscious. . They fought through their tears and their fists but it was for nothing. .
After being sated the rapists then merciless killed the women with smirks in their faces as blood were splashed on their faces. . . They looked what their art as they would call it, before Dartz snapped his fingers as his comrade pulled out an oil sated arrow and light it. . He hand it to Dartz as he looked at he flames and with a malicious smile he threw it to the women bodies and watch with the same twisted smile as he turn around and walked out of the home. .
Seto watched as the men walked out of his aunt's house before it exploded as it made Seto fall backwards while Dartz continue walking away with his sick twisted smile on his face. .Seto held his cousin as he lowered his head and cried for all it was worth. . He lost everything. . His mother. . His sibling. . His father. . His Aunt. .
Suddenly he felt a hand touch his cheek as he looked down at his baby cousin, that right. . His cousin was all he had now. . He was all the family he had now. .
The village that once held hope and love now was only ruins as many of the survivors were women and children including Seto and his baby cousin that Seto will named Yami, were all rounded up like cattle as the leader Dartz look at the survivors with that same twist look on his face. .
"Alright, you all have a choice, you could either come with us and become our new sisters and new children. ." many of survivors argued including Seto but were silenced but a woman fell to the ground with a spear through her neck, "Now that I have your attention, as I was saying, Or you could join you fellow brothers and sisters in the afterlife. . Your choice begins now. ." Dartz said with a smirk. .
Many of the women held the children and agreed to join the terrible tribe to save their children but Seto was alone as most of the woman had to worry about their own safety as well as their children. . Seto knew that alone he wouldn't survive a night so he accept to go along with the man who killed his family for the sake of his cousin. .
What nobody knew was that the females of the Gandora tribe, were either barren or were old so when they saw and heard new children were coming many of the females tried to pressure the mothers to give their children to a better future. . It ended in many fights. .
One of the women, Anzu saw Seto and Yami, she saw her chance as she tried to warm up with 5 year old but Seto would glare at her and held his cousin close to him, over the days Seto and Yami's people began to disappear along with the children till it was only Seto and Yami. . .
It seem that the mother would try to escape with their children and would either be killed or had escaped. . Seto knew it was pointless for him and Yami to escape so he merely stayed with the monsters that destroyed his family. .
It was a 3 weeks later that The Tribe of Gandora were rowing along a river, they had to move along so Seto was in a canoe with Anzu as he was holding his cousin. . Yet this place looked almost familiar to Seto. . when he heard a twig being cracked, his eyes widen when he remembered. .
This side of the river belong to -
Suddenly arrows flew across both sides of the river, Seto quickly duck and hid under a cloth as he heard bodies falling in the water as he shushed Yami who showed signs that he would be crying. . he felt the canoe gave a shake as if something had fallen over board as he knew that it was the body of Anzu. .
Seto kept quiet as he felt the canoe drifted when he heard voice. .
"Yep, it was the Gandora tribe, Aknamkanon." A man's voice said as the person who Seto think was Aknamkanon growled
"Damn cannibals! And thieves as well! I remember give this treaty to our sister's tribe. ." Seto then heard Aknamkanon sighed sadly, "They must have killed our sister's tribe . . Poor beings, may the Gods welcome their souls in to their arms. ."
Seto felt the canoe being pulled when he felt his cloth was pulled away from him "Please! Don't hurt us!" Seto pleaded as he shield his baby cousin as the woman looked at him with shocked look on her face, she looked almost like his cousin only in adult and female form plus she was tanner and had amethyst eyes . .
"Hey Dad! Get over here." She said as she lowered her spear as Aknamkanon was about to walk when two boys tried to run pass him.
"Bakura! Marik! It's not safe!" Aknamkanon snapped as he pulled two boys that were the same age as Seto away, one was silver haired and fair skin while the other had whitish golden hair and dark tan skin. .
"Oh, We always have to go when stuff's happening." The silver haired one complained as he and the other boy back away while Aknamkanon huffed at them before cautiously walked to the woman who's back was to him, shielding Seto and Yami. .
"What is it Heba?" He asked as the woman now named Heba, turned around to show Seto while she was holding Yami as Seto was exhausted from holding his baby cousin. .
"We have two survivors." She said as she was tenderly holing Yami while Seto leaned against her as Aknamkanon gasped in shock as he raised his spear.
"What?" Heba asked surprised at her father's reaction.
"It's two cold-blood monsters from the Gandora tribe! Vicious! Blood lusting!" Aknamkanon said with fear on his eyes.
Yami burped at Aknamkanon who made a disgusted face while Seto smiled tiredly at his baby cousin while Heba giggled at her father's face.
Seto stood up, "We not from the Gandora tribe! I'm from the Blue eyes White Dragon clan, and this is my cousin, he's from the Dark Magician clan!" he said to defend his and his cousin's rights. .
"It looks like a baby and a child to me." Heba said as she tenderly stroke Yami's face while she held on to Seto who was snuggling close to her warmth for the first time in a couple of weeks, he felt safe in this woman's arms much like his mother's arms. .
"Heba, he could maybe lying to me beside both of those things are children now and if you keep them, when they grow up, they'll be picking their spears out of our backs!" Aknamkanon yelled as he heard gasps as he turn to see his clan all looking at the two children with fear in their eyes. .
"Things like that kill people like us for fun!" Aknamkanon said as he scared two kids as they ran toward their parents in fear as Heba held Seto and Yami with a shook of her head, she believe in the two boys but she knew what she needed to do for her father to take them in.
"So, what do we do?" She asked as Aknamkanon turn to her with a glare on his face.
"Get rid of them!" He snapped as he turned around to walk away as Heba shook her head with a giggle.
"What has gotten into you?" She asked with a laugh as Aknamkanon stopped and sighed before he turn to look at his daughter.
"Heba, those kids are dangerous!" Aknamkanon said with a sad sigh as Heba tenderly stroke Yami's face with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, little ones." She then gave Yami to Seto and gently pushed them toward her father who seem a little frighten, "Alright, Get rid of them." Heba said as she hmphed at him before she turn around with a smirk.
"Alright I will!" Aknamkanon said as he raised his spear, ready to kill the two monster children from the Gandora when Seto ever so boldly said. .
"Chief Aknamkanon, if I may say this. . If you are to kill us please. . Spare my cousin. . I don't want him to die before he even began to live. ." Seto pleaded as Aknamkanon eyes widen, most of the Gandora soldiers would either sacrifice others before themselves. . This boy, he didn't look much older than 5 yet here he was asking for his cousin, a mere baby, to be spare instead of himself. .
Aknamkanon sighed as he lowered his spear, it was quiet for a few minutes as Heba walked up to the two boys with a smile as Aknamkanon finally said, "You two are welcome to our clan. . But you will be monitor to make sure you are not a threat."
Heba smiled as she gently picked up Yami from Seto's arms and held his hand, "Don't worry, we will teach them our ways." She said happily.
Heba then started to walk to her clan so they would welcome both boys while holding onto Yami's body and Seto's hand when Aknamkanon saw that Yami's head was wiggling.
"Watch the boy's head!" Aknamkanon suddenly said as Heba looked at her father shocked as he quickly correct himself, "I mean, watch it. He could bite." He said before he began to walk away while Bakura and Marik came running as Heba crouched down so the children could see the new baby.
Bakura pulled Yami's mouth down as Seto glared at him while Marik snorted, "This kid doesn't even have teeth! What's he going to? Gum us to death?" He joked as he and Bakura laughed while Heba shook her head toward the two children
"Bakura! Marik! Come on, look at that sweet little face. . Does that look like a killer to you?" Heba said with a smile as Yami cooed at his new found mother. . Seto felt a hand touch his head as he looked up and he could of sworn, he saw his mother's face. . . .
