CHAPTER 2
A young man of early 20's stood in his room, dressing in his heavy armour carefully, his friends in their rooms, dressing
in the same matter. As the man wrapped his thick dark blue cape around his shoulders, he carefully eyed himself in the window.
Pale yellow eyes blinked back at him, a sigh echoed from his lips as he turned and made his way out of the room. This man's name
is Atem, a Captian for the Kingdom of White Lands of Lights. Atem stood at 5 foot 6 inches, his hair
starting at the base that rose into spikes with red trimming, his yellow fring framing his sharp features, some shot up into
his hair, shaped like lighttling bolts, his sharp yellow eyes were framed with thick lashes, giving the look of egyptian style
eye liner. He was lightly muscule built, but dealy to the touch, for he tained with dragons daily, which gave him enough power
to make a hit dealy enough for he see it. Atem was a cold person, as he didnt like people all that much, like his cousin Seth,
Atem would train dragons for war, choosing only a few handful of soilders to train with these huge beasts. He trained carefully
and made sure the dragons were well taken care of.
Atem was called into a meeting in the war room when it happened. Guards and soilders alike dashed about the court yard as
atem walked through the gates, He glared and dashed passed everyone, carefully weeving his way through the crowds. Atem growled
loudly as he finally reached the enterence, dashing in and heading towards the war room, he opened the doors and barked out orders.
Men moved to let him see the map, he looked it over and growled, "I want troops in front of the gates, men on both sides of the
wall!" he barked and pointed out were he wanted his men, "Troops in the back of the castle and some to get horses ready" he
growled out orders left and right as his king watched, sitting safely on his war throne. Atem walked at stood straight next to
his king, eyes set onto a glare, yellow eyes flashing as the war room doors slammed opened, entereing Captian Seth, Captian Jou,
and White light Mage Heba, Heba's eyes looked glazed over in worry as a sharp glare settled deep in his features, Heba shouted at
the king as Atem watched, his cousin now stood by his side, as Heba and the king started to agrug more, a loud explosion hit the
castle and shook everything. Atem froze, along with everyone else in the room. [shit] was his first thought as another explosion
hit and blew a huge hole in the castle's wall, everyone fled from the room, Atem followed quickly behind. A soilder handed Atem
the riens to his horse, Night, a black mare he had raised from a foel. Atem's eyes flashed over back to the war room, well it
wasnt much of a war room now, but a body dashed out. It was Heba! He looked confused and dazed, Atem glared as he and his horse
dashed over to him, Atem grabbed Heba by the waist and lift him up onto Night's saddle, growling softly. [be careful you brat]
atem cursed at Heba as he hit his horse's hindquarters for her to get out of here. Watching the horse and Heba flee into the
forest, Atem turned back and fought off Shadow creatures, following after his horse.
Yugi took a breath, staring at his son, who was staring at him with wide eyes, smiling Yugi stood up. "WHAT?!" his son
cried out in protest, Yugi and Yami chuckled, "sorry my little one, I need to get water" Yugi said leaving the room to get a glass.
Yami's son turned and looked at him, Yami looked back, red colored eyes gleaming with amusement, "so little one? do like the
story?" Yami asked as his eyes grew, "I love it dad! who knew Papa could make the story feel so alive!" he said with excitement.
Yami chuckled, "Thats because Papa enjoys the story more then anyone i know" he said with a smile. His son squeaked with glee,
"Papa is so cool!" he said as Yami nodded, "Thats for sure" he agreed. Yugi walked in with a glass of ice water, "I do enjoy the
story a lot, its one of my favorites" He sipped from his glass and sat back in his chair, gettin ready to speak once more. That
was til the door bell rang, Yami got up and answered it, Bakura, Ryou, marik, and Malik stood outside. "Is Yugi telling the
story?!" Malik asked as they walked into the house. Yami sweatdropped and shut the front door, Yugi smiled and sat everyone down.
Yes I started the story" Yugi said and sat back down, Ryou and Malik smiled widely and held their lovers hands tightly, Yugi took
a breath and begun to start the story once more.
Atem stood in the damp forest for it had rain the night before. He sighed and walked on, the sounds of the battle gone,
and no Shadow creatures followed him into the forest. Which was good, he guessed and walked on, muttering soft curses. He stopped
he had found his cave, well more like his hideout to get away from the town life and his duties as Captian. His horse, standing
next to the small pond of water, Heba layed on his side fast asleep, for guessing, todsy took a toll on him, Atem shook his head
and walked in. His horse gave no notice he was in there, quickly Atem left and came but with firewood, for he would have to build
one tomorrow anyway. He grabbed a blanket and layed it on the ground, passing out almost immeadditly
A scream rang out early that dawn. For it seems our young mage had ran into someone he didnt expect to meet. Atem stood,
lenning againest a oak tree, arms crossed and a cold look masked his face, yellow eyes watching Heba walk back and forth, for
the last hour since Atem had entered the cave. Raising an eyebrow at his horse who munched on the green grass, snorted. Atem
looked back at a pacing Heba, who had a tight grip on his hair now. Heba muttered curses under his breath. Atem didnt really
blame the white mage, for Atem walked in as the little light was sleeping, and he had been watching him with a close eye. Heba
stopped and fainted, Atem stared wide eyed at the mage laying on the ground and looked at his horse again, who snorted. Not one
for much talking, Atem blinked and started to take off his armour, leaving his thick winter cape on, and staring at his sleeping
person in the middle of the floor. Atem shrugged and started a small fire for warmth.
Many hours later, Atem heard a soft groan, for Heba had started waking up. Atem stood up from where he was sitting, and
crossed the way to Heba, "Good afternoon Sir Heba" he had said softly, Heba looked at Atem, "Good afternoon captian Atem" he
spoke gently back, standing up from the ground. Atem nodded and walked back to his spot on the cave floor. Heba looked at him,
"What has happened back at home?" he asked, Atem sighed, "Sadly we had losted everything, it belongs to the shadows now, Jou
and Seth made it out alive thankfully" Atem said quietly, rage was softly heared in his tone as Heba took a seat. Nodding and
huffing softly, "What should we do?" Heba asked, Atem looked thoughtful for a moment. "We stay here a few days and head east,
the kingdom of Sun and Summer is that way, they are friends of our kingdom" Atem said pointing outside the cave, "We will tarvel
for a few days, about 2 weeks or so" he told Heba, who nodded, "I'll wear light armour, hopefully that will speed us up, you
will ride Night, "Atem pointed at the black mare. Heba frowned, "We should share Night" he said, Atem shook his head, "No you
are the healer of our group, so you will ride her, I'll gaurd and scout" Atem stated as he made no room for a fight. Heba nodded,
not liking Atem's idea much.
Atem stood up and glared lightly at Heba, "Try to not get in the way much alright, we have a lot to perpare for, the next
week is all we really need, other than that, we'll become bait for the Shadow Creatures" Heba nodded and looked outside the cave
as Atem stood up and walked out. Heba's eyes followed his back. His maroon eyes glassed over with small fear and regret. The light
mage sat in his spot for a few hours as he waited for Atem to come back, when he did, he had 4 rabbits, meat for the journey and
some for tonight for dinner.
