Kings of Valdor: The King of Games (Chapter 1)

A boy about age 10 wept. It was his parent's funeral ceremony. They had been attacked by an evil duelist and had been destroyed. The next King and Queen of the Muto Kingdom, both eliminated in one shot. An older man kneeled next to the young boy. The boy was the new prince of the Muto Kingdom, Yugi Muto. The man next to him was his grandfather, and the King of the Muto Kingdom, Solomon Muto. Yugi was already being trained as a duelist by his grandfather. Slowly the old man got up and walked to a small golden box. He took the box to Yugi. "Yugi, in this box is your heritage. Yugi, you are the King of Game's heir." "What?" The sobbing Yugi looked up. " Your tenth great-grandfather was Yami, the King of Games. This is his item, the puzzle. Yugi, I believe you can put it together." King Solomon then walked off, to do official things. "I will put this puzzle together." Right then and there Yugi started on the puzzle that held his 10th great-grandfather's soul. It was 10 at night and the candles were burning low when Yugi had finished the puzzle. He put the last piece in and there was a blinding light. In front of him stood Yami, The King of Games. "So you are my heir, young Yugi," the almost exact replica of Yugi said. "You have unlocked my power, so keep the puzzle close and I will aid you." With those words Yami disappeared into the puzzle, not to be needed for five years. But Yugi would use his help, because it was there. Yugi was not a wasteful one, so tried not to use Yami's help too much. Yami helped Yugi build his deck, learn to ride horses, and many other things. One day King Solomon called Yugi to his throne. "Yugi, my time as king is up. You are to be king, but you are too young to prove yourself." "Grandpa, how would I have to prove myself?" "By defeating the one I could not, and he is Gozaburo Kaiba, the Florin Kingdom's Champion. Yugi you must prepare yourself, for in two years you will be fifteen, and then is when you will prove yourself." "Excuse me King Solomon," Tristan, Yugi's friend and page, said, "But there is a boy here that wishes to speak to you. "Send him in, Tristan. And please, just call me Solomon." "Right Ki. err Solomon." And with that Tristan retrieved the tall sandy- haired boy. "What is your name, how old are you, where are you from, and what is your business here? "My name was Jou, but I want to leave that behind, so call me Joey. I am 13, from a town in the Pinna Kingdom, and I want to become a duelist. I was on a rite of passage quest, and I decided to stay in the world outside Pinna. So I seek your help in becoming a duelist." "Ok Joey, I will help you under one circumstance." "What is it, sir?" "First, call me Solomon, second, you must help my Yugi and be a friend to him." "Ok, ya got chaself a deal!" "Yugi, please show him to a room." "Okay grandpa." "What have I gotten myself into," the King muttered to himself.
