Hi everyone I'm back and thank you for the nice reviews you sent me. Now lets get started with this second chapter.
First of all I do not own anything remotely related with Yugioh (even though, a girl can dream can't she) But I do own Yame. I also own the Millennium Heart and its powers.
Note: Yame's name has an accent above the "e".
Now enjoy and review!!

Chapter 2:
The Decision
Deep underneath the surface of the Nile River, unbeknownst to the young prince, sat a young girl. She appeared to be thinking, for she had just come from a meeting with her father, the god of water.
Ever since she was born, there has been something different about her. For just once in her life, she dreamed of going up on land and walking with humans. Her father had tried his hardest to convince her that no one up there would accept her at all, for this young woman was not like them. Her name was Yamé. She was a mermaid, the princess of the water, the mortal daughter of the water god. Though she looked just like a human there was one difference. She had a long royal purple fish tail that shimmered in the sunlight that was shining through the water.
More than anything, Yamé wanted to go above the water's surface, because she was lonely. She was the only one of her kind. She was hoping to go on land with the slightest hope she would find a friend to share her hopes, her dreams, and her whole life with.
As Yamé sat under the water on a moss-covered rock, she thought about the meeting with her father. Knowing how much she loved going to the surface, He gave her a choice, she could either stay here under the sea, or become human and walk with other humans for one day. The downside is that since she has god-like water powers she is not allowed to tell anyone who she really was or show off her powers; if she does, she will instantly turn back into a mermaid and lose her powers.
As Yamé thought about her decision, she looked down toward her chest and saw the Millennium Heart hung around her neck. This millennium item is the lost eighth item of the original seven items. It was given to her by her father, when she was brought to him by her mortal mother when she was but an infant. He said that it would give Yamé guidance, wisdom, and great power apart from her god-like powers.
Finally, after much thought and deliberation, Yamé had made up her mind. She wanted to have her powers, but she also wanted to experience what it is like to be fully human. So she promised to keep her secret. With that promise firmly implanted in her memory, Yamé got up from her rock and sensing her father was close she called out to him:
"I want to go father! I promise I will keep my secret safe!"
And suddenly her father's voice came out of the silence and spoke, "Very well my daughter, but remember this. Your feet must be touching the water by the time the sun sinks below the earth."
Yamé nodded her head confidently in agreement.
(What's going to happen next? Don't you just looooooooove cliffhangers!) (I hate to read them, but I love to write them!) Review please. Thank you.
