Chapter IX
I was wondering in the palace looking for a door to Kates chambers. I was thinking about my conversation with Atem and Seto.
,,But she isn't from around here. She can't be my descendant!" said Seto while his eyes got bigger and bigger.
,,It's the only explenation." said Atem being stuborn. I didn't say a word. I couldn't.
,,There has to be reasonable explanation. Elena, think, did your father or mother say anything about our world that could excplane this?" asked Atem looking at me. I started to go from memory to memory.
,,My mom died when I was born so I don't know. My dad and I did like to watch a lot of Yu Gi Oh when he was home. He was wery fascinated with your world. Now that I thik about it, I think he said how the anime reminded him of mom. I didn't understand how but maybe there's a possibility that just maybe she came from here. Dad never said anything about her to me so there is a chance that that is true." I said amazing myself. I never thought about it.
,,Maybe it's true. Very interesting, don't you agree Seto?" askd Atem looking at Seto's horifide face.
,,I refuse to belive that she is my grand, grand, grand, who knows how manny grand, daughter." Seto said crossing his hands. I took this opportunity to tease him.
,,Don't be like that, gramps." I said winking at him.
,,Say that again and I'll make shure that my line ends with you." he said shooting a glare at me. Atem and I laughed.
I let out a loud sigh. I looked around, but I think I got lost. I remember going left, than right, then two lefts and then down the stairs... Yeah I'm completely lost. Why did I say that I knew my way back?
,,Thees door look important." I said looking at the large door with two dancers painted on them. I opened them and music just exploned from the room. Everything was colorful and beautifully decorated. There were dancers and musicias all over the place.
,,Hi Elena! Lost?" asked a familiar voice.
,,Mana?! I'm so glad to see you. Yeah a bit." I said rubbing the back of my head.
,,You can join us if you want. We can't think of a new song to dance to. Do you have an idea?" asked Mana with hopefull eyes. I tought for a second.
,,I think I know a song. It's a song that a woman preformad at a music copetition called Eurovision. It's called ,,Gravity" but I don't know if.." and before I could finish the sentence I was pulled inside.
It was time for dinner and we were all sitting in the dining room. There was a large table that we all sat and there was food of every kind. There wasn't anny seat left and Atem insisted that I sat next to him.
,,Isn't this where the queen usualy sits?" I asked a lttle embarased.
,,Yes, but since there isn't a queen nobbody would mind, especially not me." said Atem giving me a warm smile. Is it me or is it getting hot in here? We were eating in silance for a while.
,,Today was exhausting." said Mahad leting ot a sigh. Everyone agreed.
,,Why don't we have some entertainement?" asked Isis.
,,Yes, shall I call the dancers, you're highnes?" asked Siamun but Seto cut in.
,,You're magesty, why don't we ask Elena to entertain us?" asked Seto. I choked on my wine.
,,Seto..." begain Atem but Seto juped in again.
,,She has to have some other talent, except her big mouth, I mean."mocked Seto. He had an evil glow in his eyes. Oh, how I would like to see him cry!
,,I do, actually, but I need to open my mouth, unfortunately for you." I said smiling unvilingly.
,,You sing?" asked Atem. I stood up and rased a brow.
,,I think I'm not bad." I said with a grin.
,,I'll be the judge of that." said Seto pointting at the center of the hall.
,,Of course. Just give me a minute to talk to the musicians" I said stepping away. I might seem confident but I was actually dying. The tencion was eating me alive. What if Atem doesn't like it? What if everybody laughs at me? Kate frowned at Seto.
,,I would whipe that smile of my face, if I were you." I could hear Kate wisppering to Seto.
,,Like we practsed, guys!" I said with a smile. The nodded and then the music started. String instruments and drums began to play. I took a deep breath and let out my voice.
Nothing comes from dreams but dreams
Still you believe in wonder
Something happens and it seems
Like a strike of thunder
Everyone was shocked except Kate who had a big smile on her face. I think I got everyones full atention. Atem was simling in delight and I think Seto had a nerve breake down. I finished a high note and closed my eyes.
Nothing comes from love but love
Why is it growing stronger?
I am falling from above
I will wait no longer
Music filled the room with a beat that was getting faster my the minute. I could see it on their're faces that they were pleased. The servant girls and some dancers heard us and came to join us. Now I had a whole show.
I'm like a butterfly
Spinning round a sword as if to dare
I should have stayed up high
(It's stronger than me) My gravity, my gravity
As the song whent on I was starting to loosen up by slowly swinging my hips from side to side.
Nothing comes from pride but pride
Mmh… my way is clear
Dancing on the edge tonight
Now I feel no fear
Atem started to clap his hands with the beat. Soon everyone else joined him except Seto who was stil in shock. Kate couldn't resist anymore and got up to join the dance.
I'm like a butterfly
Spinning round a sword as if to dare
I should have stayed up high
(It's stronger than me) My gravity, my gravity
Servants, slaves and others from the palace stopped to look at the show. Now Isis and Mana joined us. They copied the dancess moves while I closed my eyes to sing wrom the bottom of my heart.
I'm like a butterfly (My gravity)
I'm like a butterfly
And I should have stayed up high
(It's stronger than me) My gravity, my gravity
Gravity!
I opened my eyes and the only thing I could see was Atem as he was standing up and applauding. Everyone else did the same but for some reason I could onely see Atems smiling face. He got right in front of me to take my hand so he may kiss it.
,,This was one of the most wonderful shows I have ever seen and belive me, I've seen a lot." he said gentely. I had to admit that I felt flathered.
,,Seto what do you say about her performance?" asked Atem. Seto looked like he was hit by a pan at the back of the head.
,,Incedible... I-i mean I'm very much impresed." he let out while cleaning hes troat. We all chukled.
,,And we can very much see that." said Atem. Everyone laughed while Seto was blushing.
