After a long month, I have finally updated Narnia. A few notes: first of all, it may seem a little drone since I just wrote what came to my mine. Plus,I had a little problem with it. I knew whatI wanted to say,I just had a tough time putting it into words.Second of all, it was late, and I had no rough draft to go on. Third of all, I realize that I'm dragging this out a bit and not getting to the good stuff, but I think explainations are needed with this one, and all the good stuff comes next chapter, I promise. So, here's the next chapter of The Treasure of Light.

---

"I'm home …" Yugi said quietly. Atem, Tea, Joey and Tristan all looked at him with raised brows. Yugi could not care less about their stares on him. He was mesmerized by the landscape of Narnia. The horizon was outlined by mountains. The land was covered in white snow. The sky was covered in white clouds, but the sun was shining brightly behind them. Yugi's gaze was captured by the beauty of his homeland. "Wow …" He whispered to himself. Aslan walked beside him.

"Beautiful, is it not?" Yugi said nothing; all he did was continue to stare and nod. Joey walked up to the other side of Yugi and harshly slapped him on the back, causing the smallest boy to grunt and lose his balance.

"Damn … Aslan, you tellin' us that all this belongs to Yugi?" Aslan nodded."Indeed; Prince Yugi is the true heir to the royal throne of Narnia." Atem shook his head and sighed. He was not ready for Yugi to return to Narnia just yet. Tristan kept looking toward the north. He noticed a yellow sparkling dome of some sort. It was the only thing that was not covered in snow.

"Hey guys, check this out!" The rest of them came to see what he saw. "What's that, Aslan?"

"That is Cair Paravel, Narnia's capital. That is where we will find the royal palace." They all gasped.

"You mean Yugi's palace?" Tea asked. Aslan chuckled softly.

"Yes, Yugi's palace; but first, our little prince must look the part." Yugi stiffened as Aslan walked to him. Atem kept a strict eye on the lion, just incase he may pounce on his little light.

Slowly, Aslan took in a breath and softly breathed on the young prince. A small wind started to circle Yugi's body. He and the others watched as the wind began to pick up pine needles, twigs, leaves, and other things found on the ground. Soon, the wind started to pick up speed and Yugi could no longer be seen inside of it. Atem wanted to go and 'rescue' him, but Solomon held him back yet again. Suddenly, the wind was gone and Yugi was no longer in his normal clothes. He was wearing a blue tunic with yellow designs on it. His arms were inside two white, puffy sleeves. His legs were covered with a grey material and had blue boots that came up to his knees. The boy still had two yellow bangs sticking in front of his face, but the rest of them, along with the rest of his hair, was pushed down under a blue cap with two white feathers sticking out of it. A red jewel stood in the middle of his chest, and on his hat.

The others all gasped at Yugi's new look. He truly looked like royalty. The kind of prince you would normally find in fairy tales, trying to rescue his princess from a dreadful fate. Yugi took the time to examine himself. He touched the new clothes and looked up to see the shocked faces of all his friends. Joey circled him like a hawk.

"Yug' … ya look great!" The smallest boy blushed, feeling a bit foolish.

"Thanks, Joey …" Tristan fingered the feathers in Yugi's cap.

"Wow, this is all too much to take in …" Yugi giggled. Atem put his hand on Yugi's shoulder and smiled, causing Yugi to blush yet again.

"You look marvelous, Yugi." The boy smiled.

"Thanks, Yami."

"Well, we better get going if we plan on getting to the palace before dark." Tea announced.

"You are absolutely right, Daughter of Eve; come, we must head to Cair Paravel Palace now." The others all agreed. Being the smart-ass that Atem was, he decided that he wanted to have the last word.

"Hold on, Aslan," The lion and the friends all stopped to look at the resurrected pharaoh, "Just how do you plan to get us into Cair Paravel anyway? If you haven't noticed, the entire city is encased in a magical shield." Atem folded his arms in front of his chest, thinking that he had gotten Aslan on this one, but the holy lion proved him wrong.

"The prince can get us in." Atem unfolded his arms and looked at Aslan with a dumbfounded look. "He created that shield, and he can create a way for us to get in." Atem blinked, feeling stupid.

"… Oh …" Tea just could not resist but to rub Atem's face in his unprofessional moment.

"Any more questions?" She asked with a smirk on her face and her hands behind her back. Atem did not even look at her. He just whispered his answer.

"… No."

"Come along now, we must make our way to the capital city." Without another word, they all followed Aslan to Cair Paravel. Little did they know that a pair of evil eyes was watching them. In the shadows of the trees, a low growl could be heard.

---

It was quite the hike to Cair Paravel. Yugi rode on Aslan's back while everyone else marched on foot. Solomon was enjoying being back in Narnia, so he was paying more attention to the landscape and the air around him. Tea, surprisingly, had more energy then any of them. She was right behind Aslan, not even a breaking a sweat.

"I simply love the outdoors, don't you guys … guys?" She turned around to see Atem, Joey, and Tristan all lagging behind; completely out of breath. All three of them panted like Shepard dogs on a hot July day. Atem bend on his knees to catch his breath while Tristan leaned on him. Joey fell backwards completely.

"I've fallen and I can't get up!" Tea and Yugi laughed at this expense. Tea went over and tried to help Joey back to his feet.

"C'mon, you guys! This can't possibly be painful for you. It's wonderful exercise!" The three tired boys looked at her like she was crazy.

"Easy for you to say,Annie Oaklie! I'd rather be at home stuffin' my face with potato chips and gettin' myself a gut the size of Rhode Island!" The blonde one said. Tea rolled her eyes.

"Men are such babies!" Yami and Tristan helped Joey to his feet and carried him the rest of the way.

The group had decided to take a rest. Joey, Tristan and Tea went to find something to eat in the forest while Yugi and Atem just sat and enjoyed the landscape. "Question: how come Yugi gets to ride on the lion?" Yugi smirked, hearing Joey's complaint from so far away.

"I agree with Joey; why does Aslan carry you while the rest of us walk?" Yugi jumped off of Aslan and brushed himself off.

"Because Aslan says I need to save my strength for what awaits me."

"And what exactly is it that awaits you, Little One?" Yugi shrugged.

."I don't know, but he says it's big." Suddenly, a loud scream filled the woods.

"That sounds like Tea!" Atem announced. Yugi ran ahead of him, withdrawing his sword as he did while the taller tried to catch up.

---

Okay, I'm really terrible at fight scenes, so bear with me on this. It may sound a little lame, but that's because it is.

---

The three friends were cornered by a pack of grey wolves. The beasts were growling, snarling, and circling the trio. Joey and Tristan were hugging each other out of fright while Tea tried to hide behind them. "W-wudda ya think they'll do t'us?" Joey asked. Tristan responded, but his eyes never left the furry attackers.

"Dude, do you really wanna know what one wolf could do … let alone a whole pack!" The largest wolf stopped circling them, but kept his ears back, signaling that if any sudden movements were made, he would attack.

"What's a bunch of humans doing here in Narnia?" The three teenagers dropped their guard. Tea poked her head out from behind the boys.

"Oh my god … it talks!" The wolves all started barking loudly at once, shocking the humans.

"Silence female!" Joey, being thick headed as he was, would not stand for his friends being threatened.

"Hey, what gives ya da right ta tawk ta her like dat!" He said, exaggerating on his accent. The largest wolf smirked, allowing an eerie, evil chuckle to admit.

"We have every right. We roam these lands looking for strangers to give to our queen."

"Queen?" All three said together. The leader growled and started moving closer towards the trio of friends, who began to back away. As the leader moved closer, the rest of the wolves followed him.

"Don't think we didn't see you humans enter our world with the long lost prince. The queen has been looking for her brother for some time now," His face gave off fake compassion, "She missed him dearly." And soon it returned to its evil look. The trio had gone as far as they could; they backed up into a tree.

"Y-you can't have Yugi!" The wolves all started to snicker.

"Oh, but we will pass this information onto the queen; we'll tell her that her dear brother is back and she will set out to kill him … just as we're about to kill you!" Just as the wolves were about to pounce, help arrived in the knick of time.

"Guys!" The wolves looked back to see the prince and his older look-alike. Tristan cupped his hands over his mouth right before he yelled to Yugi.

"Yugi! These freaks work for your sister!" With the trio of friends forgotten, the pack started to head for the prince and the pharaoh. Yugi shakily held out his sword with both hands. The leader snickered evilly.

"Why Little Prince, long time no see." Yugi's eyes flashed with a forgotten memory.

"Mordred! What do you think you're doing!" The wolf, Mordred continued to mock the young prince.

"Why just doing my duties for my queen, just as I always have; you remember." Yugi glared at the wolf.

"I-I remember you and J-Jadas always pulling dirty tricks everywhere!"

"So, you do remember some things. It seems that you don't remember how to handle a sword, I see." Yugi looked at his hands. They were still shaking very much. The prince closed his eyes, trying to use his hidden powers, but they would not surface. Atem could see the struggle in his light's eyes and had had enough of being useless. He helped Yugi by placing his hands on the handle of the sword over Yugi's.

"He may not remember how to handle a sword, but I do!"

"Who the hell are you?" Atem smirked.

"I am the prince's protector! And I will help him to defeat you!" Atem forced the sword to sway from left to right. "Leave our friends alone." He said with venom. The wolves barked as he did. Just when one was about to pounce on Yugi, a loud roar was heard and Aslan had jumped on one of the wolves, throwing everyone into shock. The wolf made a last whimper as Aslan bit into its neck and took out a piece of flesh, swallowing it. The rest of the wolves all backed away.

"Mordred! I'm sure you would not want an easy challenge. It is an unfair fight. Now leave before I eat the rest of your pack." The wolves all growled. Mordred growled even more, saliva dripping from his teeth as he glared at Yugi.

"This isn't over, Boy! My queen will destroy you, and when she does, I shall reval in that moment!" He barked loudly, telling the other wolves that it was time to go, and they ran off." The humans all relaxed.

"What was that all about?" Tea asked.

"That was Mordred, head of the witch's Secret Police. They have been terrorizing this land since her reign began." Aslan explained. Yugi scratched his head, looking like he was searching for a lost memory.

"I remember … that he was my sister's favorite pet. They would always be causing trouble around the palace and would have no remorse for it." Aslan nodded.

"Come, we must reach the city." The troop had resumed its walking, following the holy lion. Yugi hung his head and walked slowly. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Sensing this, Atem wrapped his arm around Yugi's shoulders, pulling the smaller out of his thoughts.

"Is something wrong, Yugi?" Yugi sighed.

"Yami, I tried to use my … 'powers' back there, but nothing happened. I tried, and I tried, but nothing worked. Atem gave Yugi a kiss on the forehead. For them, this was nothing strange. Atem showed his affection towards Yugi with small kisses to comfort him.

"Fear not, Little One. I have faith that here, you will learn to control these powers of yours. And I will be there to help." Yugi looked up at his guardian and smiled his million dollar smile.

"That means a lot to me." Atem winked at him.

---

After what seemed like an eternity of walking, the group made it to the city. Jaws were dropped at how large and beautiful it was. It looked like a metropolis, but had the details of what renaissance times looked like. There were food stands, supply shops, a market place, white roads going everywhere, large white buildings, clothing shops, ECT. People were running around everywhere, doing their daily routines. Children laughed and played as their parents went around gathering things that they needed. And all these people were of different species. Mythological characters like fauns, centaurs, fairies, nymphs, dwarfs, nameless creatures, and talking animals were everywhere. And they all seemed to get along very well.

"Little Prince," Yugi turned toward Aslan, "It is time for you to open the shield so that we may pass." Yugi gulped. He gazed at Atem, who winked at him.

'You can do this.' He sent mentally through their link. The prince sighed as he walked up to the sparkling yellow barrier that kept them out of the city and placed his hand on it. With his eyes closed and his head bowed, Yugi tried to concentrate on opening the shield. He had to focus all this power into one chore … and that was to get them into the city. His head was starting to hurt. 'Come on … everyone is counting on me! Please, work for me just this once!' Answering the call, his entire being started to glow. His light energy was gathering itself to form a sort of white energy ball type key in his palm, creating a doorway inside the city. His friends all cheered for him.

"Alright Yug'!"

"Ya did it, Man!" Yugi clenched his eyes shut.

"Guys … get in … before I … lose it!"

"Oh, right!" The others entered while Yugi tried to keep the door open just enough for him to enter.

"Yugi!" Atem ran to catch Yugi as he fell to the ground. "See, I told you so." Yugi's tired eyes glared playfully at his dark.

"I hate it when you say that!" Turning around, they could see that the people of Cair Paravel had stopped what they were doing and stared at the newcomers. Yugi's oversensitive hearing caught the gasps and whispers among the crowd.

"Look at that."

"Wow, real live humans."

"No way, I though humans were a myth."

"How did they get here?" Joey waved nervously toward the crowd.

"Uh … why are they all staring at us?"

"Maybe they think you look weird." (Okay, so that one was taken from the movie, but who cares) Tristan said. Joey glared at the brunette

"That goes double for you!" Before anyone could say anything else, Solomon stepped in front of them.

"Citizens of Cair Paravel, this is a day of celebration. For this is the day that the rightful heir to the throne of Narnia returns, Prince Yugi!" The people clapped and cheered loudly for the prince, followed by bowing.

"Speech!" Someone from the crowd yelled. Yugi's blush increased as he felt Atem push him on the small of his back.

"You heard them, they want a speech!" He forcefully pushed Yugi in front of the crowd as they cheered louder, chanting:

"Long live Prince Yugi!" Yugi let out a nervous giggle, holding up a hand.

"Uh … hi … nice to see you all again." There was a moment of silence. So silent that you could hear a pin drop … or a baby cry (which one did in the distance) then all of a sudden, they started to cheer and chant again.

"Long live prince Yugi!" As Aslan stepped out from behind the prince, the cheering stopped. The holy lion looked at the crowed and seemed to sooth them. The people in the crowd all bowed before the Kind of the Western Wood.

"The prince has returned to his rightful place, but the witch is still a threat. With help from each and every one of you, we can defeat the witch and restore peace to this wonderful land of ours." The crowd cheered again as Aslan turned toward Yugi and his friends. "Come, the palace is not far." As they walked into the crowd, people parted to make way for the prince. Yugi could see the smiles of hope on all these peoples' faces. He sighed. He was carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. What if he could not help these poor people? What if he was the one who was destroyed? He shook his head, telling himself that he could not think like that. In order to be a winner, the prince had to think like a winner. He knew that there would be someone here who could help him control his powers. And he was determined to help these people any way possible.

The palace was even more gigantic up close. It was beautifully painted a shining white with ivy growing everywhere. It gave the building an old look, but kept its beauty. There were many towers that you could not even count them all. Inside, the floor was made of marble. This room had a dome shaped roof. Tiny different colored tile pieces formed a picture of Aslan on the ceiling. The walls had paintings of different people. Yugi looked at two paintings in particular. One was of a man with blonde hair, a gouty, a shaped face, and hard blue eyes. He was wearing a crown. Under it, a metal label read 'High King Caspian II, a fair king to all, may he rest in peace.' Yugi automatically knew that this was a picture of his father. On the other side of the wall was a woman who had black hair, deep brown eyes, a gentle smile, and her hands were folded. There was another metal label under it that read 'Queen Aleigha, as sweet as she is beautiful, may her soul rest eternally.' This was a picture of Yugi's mother. Looking at them instantly brought back the memories of them … and how much he loved his parents. A tear rolled down his cheek as he remembered their deaths. The other pictures were of people he did not know.

"This is the main hall of the palace," Aslan turned and started to walk out of the large door of the castle when he looked back at them, "An attendant will see to you all soon." With that, he continued to walk out of the door and out of sight.

"Well, now what do we do?" Joey asked. Tristan exhaled loudly in annoyance.

"We wait, nimrod!"

"I'll 'nimrod' you!" Both were nose to nose, growling in each other's faces when the sound of hooves on marble was heard. A faun, younger then Solomon came into the room.

"Can I help you?" This faun had an English accent. He gasped as he looked at Yugi. "M-My prince … you've come back!" Yugi cocked his head to the side as the faun approached him.

"Uh … do I know you?" The faun seemed to turn sad at this question.

"I guess that means that you haven't regained your memories have you?"

"Uh … some of them I did." The faun bowed his head in sadness.

"Forgive me. My name is Tamnus. Welcome to the palace of Cair Paravel" He looked around and spotted the older faun, Solomon. "It is good to see you again, Father." The group of humans, along with Yugi since he was not human, gasped. Solomon chuckled.

"Likewise, my son. You have grown to be a fine young man."

"I have not seen you since you went to war almost five thousand years ago." Solomon sighed.

"I apologize, Tamnus, but I had a duty to do." Tamnus said nothing, but nodded in understanding.

"I understand, Father." There was so much tension in the room at that moment that you could cut it with a knife. Deciding to break the silence, Yugi stepped up.

"So, Tamnus, you were going to show us where we're staying?"

"Yes, follow me." Yugi's eyes caught something dangling around Tamnus' neck. It shined in the sunlight. Yugi searched his mind for anything he could think of that would cause this feeling of De ja vu. He was startled out of his thoughts as Atem put his hand on the small one's shoulder.

"Is something wrong, Yugi?" Yugi put a smile on his face to mask his concern.

"No, not at all." He walked ahead to catch up with the rest of the group while Atem stayed behind, sulking in his own self-pity.

"Oh Yugi … I wish I could just tell you …" He said to himself. He wanted to tell the smaller that he had had feelings for him for the past few months, but whenever the time seemed right, things would always interrupt him.

---

"This palace was constructed by the finest craftsmen in all of Narnia. It can withstand any of the four elements of nature." Tamnus explained. On their way to the suites, Tamnus had taken the liberty of giving the grand tour. It seemed as if he had done it a number of times.

"The last time I saw this place, it was only just beginning to be constructed. But that was a long time ago." Solomon said with a chuckle. The teenagers had a laugh with that one. It was still a little hard for them to believe that he had been around since Atem's reign in Egypt.

"Anyway, your rooms are down this hallway. I shall show the prince to his room and the rest of you can pick whichever one you want." Tamnus used a skeleton key, which seemed to open all the doors in the palace, to open two large white doors. Yugi gasped at what he saw. It was a gorgeously white room with jewels encrusted right into the walls. A large painting of him as a child hung above the large velvet covered bed. The dresser was decorated with multiple designs; the carpet was plush and red; good enough to sleep on. The closet was even bigger. There were lots of royal clothes for him to wear. There was a balcony that was connected to the room by a sliding door. Yugi loved his room. He ran over and plopped down on his bed, making himself comfortable. So comfortable, that he fell right to sleep.

"Perhaps we should let the prince rest for now. Tomorrow, Orious will give him quite a workout." Tea raised a brow.

"Who's Orious?"

"Oh, he's the General of the Narnian army. Aslan has asked him to train Yugi with his powers. Before Yugi left, he was a master swordsman. He could fight with a sword in each hand. He would always win swordsmanship competitions. Next to his sister, he was the best there was." Tamnus explained. Atem blinked, finding that a little hard to believe.

"No … my little Yugi?" He gazed at the small boy who was curled up in the bed, looking so peaceful and innocent.

"Yes, believe me; he was very kind to everyone, but if you made him an enemy, he could slash you into so many pieces that you would never be put back together."

---

Later that evening, the group sat around a large table with the best food in all of Narnia. Joey and Tristan were just being teenage boys and stuffing their faces until they burst. Atem, using the manners that were drilled into him as Pharaoh, tried his best be professional, but one could see, if they were paying close attention, that was mostly an act. He kept his hands in his lap and never put his elbows on the table. Tea did the same since she was expected to be a lady, or so she thought. Yugi on the other hand, just poked at his food. He had so many emotions going on inside of him, such as confusion, anxiety, homesickness, De JA vu, and the feeling of something missing, that he could not think of eating. Suddenly, a memory came to him out of the blue!

---

"Packing for the trip?" A familiar voice asked. Yugi turned to see Tamnus standing behind him with his arms behind his back.

"So I suppose you've heard." Tamnus made his way into the prince's room. As he did, his hooves clapped on the white marble floor.

"Of your departure? Yes; sadly, all of Cair Paravel has." Yugi's eyes started to fill with tears yet again. He stood up and threw his arms around Tamnus' waist.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Tamnus!" The faun hugged the prince back.

"How will you know? I hear that you're going to lose your memory as well." The two moved to Yugi's bed.

"Yes, but Aslan said that someday, I will get my memories back and return to Narnia to finish my sister off!" Tamnus laughed at how cute Yugi was when he got all riled up. Yugi joined him in laughing until he heard the sound of crying.

"Tamnus? Are you okay?"

"My Prince, I am so sorry …"

"For what?"

"It was my duty to protect you from your sister, and I couldn't even do that! Now, thanks to me, you will have to leave this world and live among the humans." Yugi cringed at that.

"No, it's not your fault that I have to leave. It's my own." Tamnus looked up at Yugi with confused eyes. "Jadas was right … I'm not strong enough to face her again and I never will be …"

"No my Prince, you are strong! Well, you were, but that's why you're leaving. So that your powers will grow to your sister's level and then you can defeat her."

"I guess." Yugi stared at the floor.

"You're scared, aren't you?" Yugi looked up and smiled.

"A little, but who wouldn't be? I mean, I'm leaving my home, and now I'll have to live among those dreadful, filthy, disgusting humans who care more about money then they do about the land around them!" Tamnus chuckled.

"Well that's a bit extreme." Yugi giggled and smiled at his old friend.

"Here, I want you to have something." He reached under his tunic and pulled out a small golden coin that hung around his neck by a black string.

"What is it?"

"It's a Kimal. It's supposed to be a good luck charm. My mother gave it to me the day I was born. I want you to have it." Tamnus shook his head.

"I can't accept this!"

"Yes you can, listen: when I come back, you'll be holding this, and it'll be proof that you're my friend. Even if I don't remember, you'll always have something of mine close by." Yugi smiled. Tamnus' eyes watered again as he bent down and hugged the prince tightly.

"It's my honor, My Prince, to know your kind and gentle nature. I will miss you … so much." Yugi smiled and started to sob himself.

"Me too …"

---

Suddenly, Yugi stood up out of his chair, surprising everyone. "Kimal!" Joey swallowed what he was chewing.

"Gazoontite."

"No, that's what was around Tamnus' neck. It's the Kimal that my mother gave me when I was born," He sat back down, "I gave it to Tamnus so that it would prove that he was my friend … excuse me." The prince got up and went to search for Tamnus. A heavy silence filled the dinning room in his absence … that is until Joey broke it with a loud, rude belch.

"Ugh … pass the stuffing, please."

Yugi searched all over the palace until he found Tamnus in the large library, reading one of the books. "Tamnus?" Said faun turned when his name was uttered and removed his glasses.

"My prince … is something wrong with your dinner?"

"No, it was great but … I was just wondering, could I see that necklace you're wearing?" Tamnus nodded and removed the charm from around his neck. Yugi examined it very closely. His fingers ran over the design on it as if they had memorized it. "My Kimal …"

"You know of ---"

"I gave you this when I left." Tamnus gasped, causing Yugi to smile. "You were my only friend growing up. I remember … we would sneak out of the palace together," He let out a light giggle, "You never wanted to do it, saying 'No Yugi, we're gonna get in so much trouble'," Both the prince and the faun laughed, "But I never listened. I just wanted to hang out with normal kids …" Yugi looked into Tamnus' eyes and smiled. "You were always right beside me until the day I left. How could I ever forget you?" He seemed to be asking himself more then Tamnus.

"So you do remember." Yugi nodded.

"It just came to me a few minutes ago. I never really got to thank you for everything you did for me, did I?" Tamnus smiled and hugged Yugi, who happily complied.

"Welcome home, my Prince."

"Thank you, Tamnus." They continued to hug, but neither of them noticed the pair of ruby eyes that flashed green with envy, watching them from the library entrance.

---

The next morning, Yugi was told that he was going to be training for the rest of the day. This sounded a little painful, but if it would help him with his powers, he was willing to go through with it. He sat in the seating room, waiting for his friends to wake up. "I hope this … 'training' isn't as bad as it sounds." He said to himself. He was broken out of his thoughts once again by someone ruffling his hair.

"Good morning, Yugi." It was Atem. He was dressed in a renaissance-like tunic with boots that came up to his knees. Yugi gasped. He had never seen his dark dressed like that and he looked very … sexy.

"Morning, Yami. How did you sleep?" Atem smiled.

"Very well, actually," He sat down on the couch, "I actually haven't had that good of a sleep in a long time."

"Uh … Yami …"

"What?" Yugi pointed down. Atem's tunic was a little short and with his knees apart, some things were shown that should not have been. Atem blushed and moved his knees together as Yugi laughed out loud. Not too long afterward, the rest of the bunch arrived. Joey and Tristan were wearing tunics as well while Tea wore a long, thin dress.

"Dang, that was the best snooze I ever had!" Joey announced.

"Same here, Dude! At least there weren't any bugs; I hate bugs!" Tea flicked him in the ear.

"Yeah, we all know how high pitched you scream when you see a spider." Yugi, Atem and Joey had a good laugh with that one.

"Yeah uh … let's just keep that between the four of us." The sound of hooves was heard once again.

"Good morning, everyone. I trust you had a good night's rest. You're all going to need it for today." Tamnus said. A creature with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a man appeared. He had long black hair and was very well toned. "This is General Orious. He will be training you to control your powers, Prince Yugi." Tristan and Joey seemed a little intimidated by this strong creature, but Yugi seemed to be at ease. He knew Orious would never hurt anything … unless it was a direct attack.

"Hi, Orious. So, you're going to be helping me?" Orious smiled and bowed his human half.

"It is an honor, my Prince. Come, the fields are where we will train. I shall teach you how to use your psychic abilities and your elemental abilities as well." Yugi seemed shocked. He thought he only had psychic powers.

"What elemental powers?"

"You have the power to control the elements of nature: earth, fire, water, and wind."

"Really?" Orious nodded.

"Yes, but unless you learn to control these powers, they could destroy you." Yugi gulped.

"Then I suggest we get to work!"

End of Chapter
