Chapter #1
*Little Yami's Room*
"I play my Blue Eye's White Dragon!" yelled a young Seto casting a spell to resurrect a small version of his monster.
"Seto, will you ever learn? My Dark Magician kicks your dragon's butt every time we play." said little Yami.
"Just try me." Seto says crossing his arms.
"OK, but I warned you. Attack Dark Magician!" at Yami's command the Dark Magician unleashed his dark magic attack. But to Yami's surprise his attack didn't phase the Blue eyes. "Told you!" Seto said bragging. Yami was in awe. His Dark Magician had always triumphed over Seto's dragon.
"How did you do that?!"
"Magic." Seto said plainly. Before Yami could interject, his father, the Pharaoh, came in.
"Seto, it's time for you to go home, Yami, you have to get ready for your coronation."
"Yes sir." the two boys said in unison.
"Well I guess we'll finish our game tomorrow." Yami was sad to see his best friend go but, as he had learned, what his father says goes.
"See ya tonight?" Yami asked, leading Seto out the door.
"Yea, see ya tonight." with that the two friends left. Yami and Seto had been best friends since Seto's Father became the head priest. The two loved playing with their monsters in the very popular shadow games. They only wish they knew the spells to make the real monsters, and not just the miniatures. That night Yami was to be named the royal heir to his father's throne.
*The Coronation*
Yami hated dressing up for things like this. He hated his long robe and gold bracelets. He's a boy for cryin out loud! And if he were expected to wear this stupid crown thing again he would kill someone!
"I guess I'll just have to deal." Yami said reluctantly putting on his crown.
"Well here goes nothing." With that Yami went to the platform and sat on the right hand of his father. The Hall of Pharaohs was packed that night. Everyone wanted to see the new prince. The ceremony began. And his father rose to address the crowd.
"My people, tonight I am not addressing you as The Pharaoh, but as a father. Tonight, as you all know, I am announcing my heir. This heir is to be your future Pharaoh and deserves your respect. Along with the title, my heir will also be given access to the sacred places of the temples..."
Yami was trying to listen to his father but he couldn't keep his mind from wandering. Yami was searching the crowd when he spotted his best friend. Seto was waving at Yami, and Yami slightly waved back. He though it was strange because Seto's father wasn't sitting beside his son. But he just figured he was sitting in another spot and he didn't think about it anymore, and turned his attention back to his father.
"... I bring before you my son, and heir, Yami!" Yami stood and removed his old crown and was given a bigger, taller crown. His glory was short-lived because after his father put Yami's crown on his head, he was shot in the heart.
"Yami. son come here." His voice was no longer strong and powerful, but soft as a whisper.
"... son you must take the thrown, and avenge my death. Good-Bye. Yami." After those words were spoken a magical energy left his body and entered three youth.
"Your murder will not go unpunished Father." He hugged his father and put his crown upon his brow, and spoke with a strong voice despite the tears in his eyes.
"As heir to the throne I take the responsibilities of Pharaoh." So at the age of fourteen, Yami became the Pharaoh.
