Millennium Adventure

Escape

*~*~*~*~*

            "Is it ready yet brother?"  Malik asked his little brother Marik.

            "Yes, the castle will be ours before dawn."

            "Good and don't mess up this time."

            "I won't brother.  You shouldn't worry about that."

            "When the take over is complete bring the king and prince to me and make sure everyone else is securely locked in the dungeons."

            "Yes brother, it will be done."

            "Go and make this country mine."  Marik left to carry out the plans that were made to take over the castle.

            "You finished the puzzle already?"

            "Yes Grandpa.  Something weird happened when I finished though."

            "And what was it that happened?"

            "First there was this really bright light and then there was this voice that came out of no where."

            "What did the voice say, Yugi?"

           "First it said the prophecy then it said that this puzzle," He pointed to the Millennium Puzzle that was around his neck, "is the puzzle of hope.  It also said that I'm hope and I need to find the light."

            "Then find the light you must.  You must find it on your journey…"  Before the king could finish there was a big crash followed by a lot of screams.

            "Highness," a guard said a few minutes later, "the enemy has gotten inside the castle and they're looking for you and the prince."

            "Yugi go to the secret passage and escape while you can.  Guard find the friends that were to go on this expedition with Yugi."

            "Yes sir."

            "What about you grandpa?"

            "I'll be fine."

            "Come with us."

            "I would only slow you down and put in more danger than you are already in."

            "Good bye."  With that Yugi left for the adventure that awaited him.

            He traveled through the part of the castle that was rarely used by anyone.  When he got there he found that all his friends were waiting for him.  He walked up to them without a word and pushed in the stone that would open the passage.  His friends were going to question him when they heard voices coming from right above them.

            "Hurry," Yugi whispered.  Yugi's friends needed no more convincing.  As soon as they were all in the passage, Yugi closed it up so no one else could get in unless they found the secret button.  They lit a torch and continued down the passage with the voices of enemy soldiers fading in the background.  After a while of walking they came to a fork in the passage.

            "Which way do we go Yugi?"  Ryou asked.

            "Both ways lead outside, but we should go left because it leads farther away from the castle then right."

 His friends followed him down the left passage.  They were traveling for at least an hour before the end was in sight.  They climbed out of the tree trunk that was the exit and saw a road in front of them.

            "That's the road that leads to and from the castle.  We should follow it so that we don't get lost," Yugi said.

            "Okay, but how do we know what way to go?"  Anzu asked.

            "I know which direction the castle lays, we will go the opposite."  The five friends walked down the trail to who knows what kind of danger and adventure.

I hope you liked it

I'm sorry it's a little short and that I couldn't get it up yesterday, but something was (and is) wrong with Microsoft Word.  I didn't think about using the notepad until today.

Thank you reviewer

I want at least one review to continue
