Chapter 3
As the group of rider's rode through the forest a storm began to rage. "Hmmm, it's raining" Joey said in a bored fashion as he yawned. "I love the rain" Yugi said "because no one knows I'm crying." He said looking away sadly, for Yugi wasn't sure if he was ready to marry someone he had never met before. He wanted to marry some who loved him for who he is as a person and not for want he is as a prince.
But he was soon jolted from his thoughts, by a very nervous Yami. "WOOH! Easy boy!" Yugi said as tried to calm down Yami, but it wasn't working. Of course Yami wasn't the only horse to be acting nervous. Hikari and Royal Guards horses were to very nervous and with good reason.
For head right towards the group of riders was the Dragon King himself! Yami was beyond afraid, and in his effort to escape he threw the young prince off his back in ran as fast as his hooves could carry him back towards the Emerald city. "Owwwwwwww, my back!" said Yugi as checked himself over for any breaks. "YUGI! ARE U ALRIGHT?!" shouted Joey as jump off Hikari and run over to the young prince. "I'm fine Joey. No breaks just a lot of bruises." Yugi whined as he rubbed his back. "What gotten into the horses all of a sudden!?" said one of the Royal Guards as he tried to calm his horse. "M-m-maybe he's why!?" said the other Guard, as pointed at a huge black dragon flying towards them. "IT'S ATEM THE DRAGON KING!" both of the Royal Guards shouted as they themselves were thrown from their horses. Hikari and the other two horses fled back to the city, leaving the two guards, Joey and Yugi in the forest.
"PRINCE YUGI! RUN FOR THE CITY!" shouted the one of the guards "WE'LL CUT THIS TYRANT DOWN TO SIZE!" shouted the other as they both drew their swords ready for a battle that would claim their lives. "Come on Yugi, let's get outta of here!" Joey said as he dragged the young prince back towards the city, but Yugi was struck with awe that the sheer power of the Dragon King. For this was the first time Yugi had seen a dragon up soo close, and Yugi couldn't help but get closer to fight. "YUGI! WHAT ARE U DOING?!" Joey shouted, but Yugi didn't answer and kept moving closer.
With one fell swoop, Atem killed the two guards and grinned with a grim satisfaction. But despite seeing both of his guards killed in front of him, Yugi kept moving closer with Joey trying to call him back. "YUGI! COME BACK! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Joey shouted, but his shout had gotten someone else attention. The attention of the Dragon King! Unfortunately for Yugi, his curiosity had gotten him too close to Atem.
With a deafening roar, Atem grabbed Yugi and flew off at the speed of sound towards his lair, leaving a slightly deafen Joey all alone in forest.
