Me: HEY! I am back!
E: She's a tad bit crazy right now.
Me: Oh thank you so much, E
E: Heh, no problem.
Me: Anyways! This one has Tenionia's story in a little more detail. It also drops hints of what is to come. So yea, and! I changed the genre back to Adventure, But as I said beforehand still stands. If you don't know what I am talking about, I suggest you wait and see. K?
E: Anyways, Sorceress of the Nile doesn't claim Yugioh. Just her original characters. (If she did own Yugioh, that would be very bad...)
Me: Thanks E.
E: Yea.
Happy reading!
Bakura spotted the oasis and dismounted and lead the horse on the ground. Tenionia woke up and was looking back the way they had come. Bakura glanced at her.
"If you're worried about the others, don't waste you time." Bakura said and Tenionia looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"They're thieves, they know how to live without fear so they can handle themselves." Tenionia hummed in thought. Later that night, Bakura was turning the coals of the fire they had built with a thick stick that he had found. Tenionia was sitting a little ways away from him, watching the flames. Bakura glanced at the girl and was surprised to see the light of the fire cast a haunted look in her dark purple eyes. Her long hair danced slightly in the dry wind. Bakura sat back.
"You know," Bakura looked at the girl.
"I don't know your whole story, I only know pieces of it." Tenionia gazed off into the distance.
"Well, The daughter of the moon song describes my life almost perfectly." She admitted.
"I came into the world fairly quietly, I wasn't very special to begin with, but around when I was eight years old, I had stumbled on a rouge that was planning on killing my father. He tried to attack me and..." She opened her palm, revealing a scar shaped like a feather.
"I discovered my powers then, but being eight I didn't realize the extent until my father forced me to train with the other magicians." Tenionia looked back at the fire and bit her lip.
"That wasn't the greatest plan as we discovered later. None of the other magicians could perform light magic." Tenionia blew a strand of hair out of her face.
"I guess you could say I was the black sheep." Bakura hummed.
"You were shunned?" Tenionia nodded.
"After my mother passed away, my father was very sure to keep me hidden. As far as he was concerned, it was better that no one knew about me, and that I didn't know about the world outside the walls." She sighed sadly and Bakura eyed her. Tenionia pulled her knees closer to her chest and hugged them.
"But, I had a rebellious streak. Hell, I snuck out of the palace with Silos and explored the city, just because I would grow bored." Bakura had to chuckle at that. Tenionia grinned.
"I also caused a little bit of trouble and panic in the city." Bakura laughed at that. The thought just made him laugh. Tenionia's smile vanished.
"I was eleven when my father placed the runes on my arm. It hurt, but he told me it was a precaution that had to be taken. After I showed Silos the runes, he instantly began to research the spell my father had used. When he discovered that the runes steal a person's lifeforce, He insulted my father, saying that he was taking a precaution that was going to kill me in end. I had overheard and demanded that the runes had to be revised. My father told me that wasn't going to, and that he didn't regret anything." Bakura stared at the princess. Was her father really that heartless? Heartless enough to put the life of his daughter on the line?
"Silos did the unthinkable. In the dead of the night, he and I rode to Pharaoh's kingdom. Before we had lift, Silos cast a spell, so runes effect wouldn't activate once I had entered the kingdom. Silos had told me not to speak of the runes to anyone, not even the Pharaoh. No one was to know about it, if they did and they were close to me, they would try to revise the runes, and have themselves killed."
"It's that powerful?" Bakura asked and Tenionia wearily nodded.
"Yes, My father's magic isn't like any other. It's one of the most powerful forms of Shadow magic. It's almost pure Shadow magic." Bakura snorted.
"I'll bet his magic isn't as powerful as mine." Tenionia turned away and shut her eyes.
"Arrogance is a flaw, you know." She wisely said. She opened her eyes, and thought.
"What is the date today?" She asked out of the blue. Bakura was a little surprised by the question.
"It's the 20th, why?" Tenionia's eyes widened.
"It's my birthday tomorrow..." She softly said.
"How old will you be?" Bakura asked and she looked at him.
"Seventeen." She bowed her head and was silent the rest of the night.
