Ch 3: A story
Yugi
Azure carried me up to my room and placed me on my bed, smiling softly at me. I could tell she was trying to cheer me up.
"I'm sorry" I said, I knew she didn't like me to say things that made it seem like I was out of place here.
"It's okay little one. Just remember, with anything you say to us about the future, you risk it being changed somehow," she said, before leaving me under the care of Darm.
I smuggled under the covers as Darm sat in a near by chair.
"Darm?" I asked sleepily.
"Yes?" was the reply.
"Will you tell me a story?" I ventured.
"A story," Darm repeated, surprised.
"Please?" I requested.
"Alright little one, let me think for a moment" Darm smiled slightly.
Seth
Yami and I spoke softly as we climbed the palace steps. "I feel increasingly uneasy." I found myself admitting. I did not admit things lightly.
Yami studied my face for a moment "I know Seth, so do I."
"The boy, he knows you," I began.
Yami nodded, deep in thought, "He's from the future, but how far I wonder? And how did he get here?"
Yugi
Kuri, as I found out was Kuriboh's name, snuggled under the covers with me while Darm thought. I absent mindedly petted her, thinking maybe I'd braid her hair tomorrow. My eyelids were starting to get heavy, when Darm spoke. His voice was slow, rhythmic, helping me on my way to sleep.
Darm
"When I first met Yami, he was a child of five or so, brave, stubborn, intelligent, much like he is now."
"How did you met him?" the boy blinked his large eyes, he was tired.
"His uncle, Lekhb, had attempted to seize the throne for himself and rule over Egypt as Pharaoh. Lekhb was not an honorable man; he did not outright attack the Pharaoh, his brother."
"Yami's father?" the little one murmured.
"Yes, Yami's father. Lekhb attacked Yami and banished him to The Shadow Realm."
"Why?" Yugi wanted to know.
"Lekhb wanted to hurt the Pharaoh. The easiest way was through his son."
"Is that how you m-met Yami?" the little one asked me, stifling a yawn.
I couldn't help, but smile at him. "Yes. He was strong enough to survive, for a time, in The Shadow Realm even at such a young age, but he had no idea how to get himself home. I found him, standing there calm as can be."
"You brought him back?" a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Virden, Dira, Gaia, Codi and I brought him back" I replied.
"I know Virden" Yugi said "but who are those others?"
"Well Dira is my apprentice, The Dark Magician Girl. Gaia is The Fierce Knight, and Codi is Curse of Dragons." I glanced at the boy, and found he had drifted off to sleep.
"That was a cute story," someone giggled, snapping me out of my thoughts of the past.
"What are you, The Dark Giggle?" I questioned.
"What are you, The Dark Nursemaid?" she countered.
I rolled my eyes and turned to face my apprentice. "Virden and Reb'd filled me in," she said the laughter gone from her eyes "I wanted to know if I could help you watch the little one."
I nodded smiling at her "So long as you're quiet. He needs to sleep."
"I'll be quiet!" Dira promised a little too loudly. I looked at her pointedly; she giggled and clapped a hand over her mouth.
Azure
Feeling rather guilty about the whole jumping off the balcony incident, I told Yami I'd watch over Virden, and sent him to go and get some sleep. Dian Keto The Cure Master and I had checked him over, pronouncing him fine. Yami being Yami was still worried, but I can get a bit stubborn, so in the end he found himself in his rooms resting.
The elf groaned slightly and opened an eye curiously. Once he saw me he sat up slowly, pelting me with questions "Azure, are you alright? Is Yugi alright? What happened?"
"Everyone's fine," I said "Yugi's sleeping. He's got Darm and Kuri with him, and in all likelihood Dira has joined them by now."
