Seti stood in his old home of, that was now gone and lost to him. He watched himself, his younger self of six years play a depressing song. One he composed himself. He knew what he was thinking…. Why does dad have to leave? Why, why, why? He knew already… but he was mad… he didn't want his dad to leave him. Seti depended on his father to be here for him. He needed him for his guidance, as a king since soon he would be old enough for the throne. His father had mostly taught him the ways of music well his mother mostly but his father had encouraged, his interest in music and his talent for it. Seti was depressed. Even in my sleep my past haunts me… He thought as he watched his younger form play. Then he saw his father… Yami. Walk into the room. He looked up at Yami. "Want me to play something, father?" Yami smiled and nodded at him. He played the song he had been working on. He knew his father had noticed it was melancholic. When he was done, Yami knelt down eye to eye with him. "What is wrong, my son?" He asked. He was tearful. Seti didn't want to see this again he hated remembering this. He was crying. "Why are you leaving me? I need you!" He said crying he knew why and he didn't give his father a chance to speak. "You said you'd be here for me! You broke it. I hate you!" He then ran from his father. He heard Yami call after him "Seti!!!" Seti heard and remembered his father's anguish in that call. Right then and there he wanted to say to Yami "I didn't mean what I said! Please don't cry! Don't leave me again!" But he couldn't.

Seti woke up panting, his purple-crimson eyes brimming with tears. "Damn… why did I have to say those things!?!?!?!" It had been months since Yami had told him of his dreams, his memories. It was now June… and in his calendar of old, it was nearly his birthday. "Only a week left before I'm really sixteen years of age. Strangely I have grown to fifteen just in time…" Right now Seti felt like slamming his head into the desk but didn't. Aset soon walked in. "Dreaming again huh?" Seti nodded. He looked at his little sister and knew she was a tall as Yami, their father. "It's almost yours and daddy's birthday right?" Seti nodded again. Styorm then butted in. "My lord, I had no idea.. I forgot about the old calendar." Seti only smiled at his friend. "Have no worries, Styorm. It is alright." Seti then began to think. "How strange back then I depended on my father, for answers…. Now he depended on me for them… that is truly ironic." He mumbled. "You need a walk, my friend." Styorm said as he dragged Seti out of bed and pushed Aset out so her brother could get dressed.

~A few minutes later~

Seti was walking next to Styorm. "Gods… why me?" Styorm turned to look at his prince. "What is the matter?" Seti glanced over. "I keep dreaming of what I said to my father before he left me. I really hate myself for saying such things." Styorm nodded. "All of us… have some sort of regrets, when we say things we don't mean." Seti nodded as he jammed his hands in his pockets. He looked awful this day. He looked pretty ragged. Styorm shook his head. "My lord you should be happy, your birthday is coming!"

Then out of no where they heard. "You have a birthday this month too?" Seti and Styorm turned to see Yami and Yugi behind them. It was Yami who had asked. "Yes, in about a week. June 22nd." Yami reeled back in surprise. "What is it Yami?" Styorm asked. Yami shook his head. "How odd, that's my birthday as well." Seti pretended to be shocked, but he really wasn't. "That is unusual." How wonderful my father still has the same birthday as me… Seti thought. It's not that he minded. But he wondered what was happening. He knew it was because of the puzzle that Yami was remembering, and that he and Aset had been growing over the past few months. "Something wrong Shanzad?" Yugi asked. Seti sweetly smiled at Yugi. "No little one, not at all. I just presently haven't been sleeping well." Yugi was now worried, Seti sensed this. "Nothing to worry about, Yugi. I just need to go to bed earlier." Yugi nodded. "We better go, later." Seti waved at Yugi and Yami as did Styorm. Yami and Yugi waved right back and left the two. "Damn… too close."

"Well, well, well… This is too interesting my half-brother is here." Styorm turned to that voice.

~Elsewhere~

Pegasus walked around with Isis. "I wonder who that boy really is? There is something strange about Shanzad Lutfi." Isis nodded. "I must agree with you Pegasus. He seems more knowledgeable than most, even me about the ancients. I am wondering where he got that ring." Pegasus looked over at Isis. "What do you mean?" Isis sighed. "At the dance I noticed a ring on his finger, it's a symbol of the king of Egypt back in the ancient times. No one knew what happened to it, but how and where did he find it?" They didn't notice that Shadi was behind them. He shook his head. "Fools, you have no idea that he was the crowned prince of the ancients. He knows more about it, than even I do since he lived in that era." He saw that Pegasus and Isis had stopped and he felt a surge of power.

~Around the corner of where Pegasus, Isis, and Shadi are~

Styorm had turned to see a boy around his age maybe older. He had long ebony hair with green and gold streaks. He was in a low pony-tail, and it went to his hips. He had dark green eyes with gold flecks with in. He had a cold look in his eyes. He a leather necklace with an ankh on it. He also wore huge hoop earrings, with ivory teeth attached. The boy wore a loose dark green dress shirt, and black pants with black boots. "Tiki… You bastard!" Styorm grumbled. Seti looked over at his friend then at this 'Tiki'. Then it clicked in his mind. Tiki is Styorm's rat-bastard of a brother! They are both descents of Aztecan blood. Tiki smiled, "Now how did you get here?" Styorm was about to answer but Seti cut him off. "My lord…?" Styorm whispered. Tiki heard this.

"You're lord? Who the hell is he." Seti glared at him. "Me.. I'm glad you don't know me." His shadow powers crackled to the surface and nearly struck Tiki. "I am the former crowned prince, of Ancient Egypt. And friend to Styorm the former attendant to Sorcerer Seth." Tiki seemed awe struck. "A friend to a Prince? I must commend you , brother." Styorm growled at his brother. "You better get your sorry ass out of here. Before I decide to do something horrible to you. And if I see you tormenting Styorm or anyone acquainted with him, I swear by the name of Ra.. I will kill you." Tiki knew he should take this threat seriously. "Alright… have it your way your majesty. I will leave my brother and his friends be." Tiki didn't feel like getting killed over his brother, and then left.

Seti let his powers settle down. "Lord Seti you didn't ha-" Seti held up his hand. "It's alright… You have done so much for me. Plus you are my best friend… the one closest to me besides my sweet sister." Styorm smiled and nodded. "Lets say we go back home." Seti smiled. "Now that is a good idea." They walked together talking back home.

Pegasus and Isis were in shock. "So that's the boy's secret! He's a prince. Was he reincarnated?" Shadi behind them said. "No, he isn't he has lived for 5 Millennia, at least. He and his sister have seen many era's. They look young because of a spell which had been placed on them by their own mother." Isis turned. "How did you know?" Shadi blinked. "I knew because not many, barely anyone can speak the ancient language so fluently. Unless they have spoken it for themselves." Pegasus glared at Shadi. "Why didn't you tell us?" Shadi looked over at him. "Because he did not want to be discovered. He merely wishes to see his father, and he doesn't want his father to know who he is. But many seem to know his secret. His friend Styorm and his Hikari. And your daughter Pegasus. He loves her so he told her who and what he was, and she accepted him for that." Pegasus and Isis were in total shock. "So I will ask what he would ask of you, please don't tell anyone." They nodded.
