Remember this is only the beginning
Prologue
It was a sunny day with only few clouds traveling the light blue space over the ocean.
Looking down from his spot by the railing of the grand three masters the brown hair of the man was tousled by the strong wind that blew over the see that day. He admired the sparkling depths of the water that looked so much like his own eyes, at least considering color.
He was startled out of his thoughts by a boy looking like he was around the age of twelve.
"Seto, isn't it a beautiful day?" The man, he had to be around twenty years old chuckled and ruffled the raven hair of his younger sibling.
"Yes, it is indeed. But keep in mind that the weather on the see can change within a few minutes, Mokuba." He had been traveling the see for one year and a half now and it wouldn't have been the first sunny day that changed to a ship wrecking storm.
However the fear of suddenly arising strong winds was far from their minds.

Seto woke up in the middle of the night. He didn't know what woken him though .
Turning his head in the direction where he knew his brothers hammock was, he was relieved to see that Mokuba was sleeping soundly. That was when he realized what woke him up in the first place. It had been the loud sound of strong waves crashing into the side of the ship.
When a particularly strong wave hit Mokuba jolted awake. "What was that Seto?" the young boy asked worry and maybe a bit of fear evident in his voice.
"Probably a storm. Come on Mokuba. Let's see what is going on on deck." Seto tried to reassure his brother and got in an upright position. Well as upright as you can get on a shaking ship.
Taking his brothers hand in his he made his way to the staircase that connected the room with the hammocks of the crew to the upper deck, noticing that all hammocks were abandoned.
Finally getting out they were able to hear the wind and see the crew scrambling around trying to keep the ship from sinking. The shouts of the captain were faint over the roaring of the wind combined with the occasional joining thunder.
Still keeping a firm hold on Mokubas hand the brunet made his way over to the captain.
"How bad is it?" Seto tried to ask over the roaring storm he had to scream in order to be heard.
"Really bad. I don't want to frighten you but I don't think the old lady here will make it." Shouted the old sailor with an eye patch covering his left eye.
True to his word another wave hit the ship at the same time as lightning struck one of the masts. It cracked in the middle and began his descent on the deck shattering planks and railing and a few bones in its wake.
Mokuba screamed startled at the sudden downfall of the mast. Seto grabbed the young one by the shoulders trying to shield him from wood fragments that were thrown everywhere. By doing so a particularly large splinter imbedded itself in the back of his leg.
Swearing under his breath the brunet tried to get his brother away from the place where the mast was now lying on the deck. The younger one still screamed terrified.
Ignoring the pain that the wound in his leg caused, Seto was unaware that around him more fragments broke free because of the force of the waves. That was the reason he didn't react fast enough to the raven haired boys warning.
A big piece of wood hit the back of his head. Seto felt himself falling and letting go of his brother. He lost consciousness for a few seconds and when he woke up again he saw Mokuba being dragged away by a winged creature.
Raising his shaking hand in the direction of his vanishing brother Seto felt cold water surrounding him and pulling him under.
The last thing he could sense before fading away from consciousness completely were warm gentle arms wrapping around him.
