Chapter four!

"You like the palace?" asked Atem as Yugi looked around. Atem was giving Yugi a personal tour.

"Yes, it's lovely palace" said Yugi. He was surprise on how much affection he was receiving from Atem. Sure he was born in a palace, but he only known life a servant for his brothers were going to be knights for the king. Yugi smiled softly as they walked down the hallway.

Atem looked over at Yugi's clothing, his pants clang onto his skin, and they look as though they were from animal. He had brown tunic, which seem to fit him perfectly. Atem liked how Yugi was dressed and wanted to learn more about his home land until Shizuka came over to them.

"Your highness, if I may, Yugi is called down to the kitchen," said Shizuka.

"Sure be my guest, but it's Yugi's choice," said Atem. Shizuka looked stress

as she looked over at Yugi, who looked quiet surprise.

"Well Yugi?"

"Yes, I would love to company you to the kitchen," said Yugi; he slipped between his English and Egyptian. Shizuka and Atem gave Yugi strange looks as he just nodded.

They left Atem, who looked longing at Yugi. Yugi sighed, the spell that Seto had cast on his was fading away, and soon he won't be able to understand what the others are saying. As he began to wonder why was it so hot, and why wasn't there any trees. They walked down a set of stairs and stopped at the bottom as Shizuka looked around.

"Okay, Seto told me of your situation, so I'm going to teach Egyptians, and how they are going to live, first of all. You must know, that no one except family is only allowed to be seen with the prince not if your his personal servant, but since you are not either. You are going to have to work as much as the others are going to." said Shizuka as Yugi nodded.

"Good, not lets get you out of these warm clothes. You're going to need them since we are in the desert, and second of all, you always have to report your Mentor, which your going to meet soon, now follow me," the continue their walk, and each set of stairs they took it was got hotter as more guards began to appear around. When Yugi thought he was going to die of heat stork, they enter a room, which in Yugi's eyes looked to fit a queen. It was also quiet cool in, there as the Shizuka knocked on the door.

"Yeah! Yeah give me a second!" came a female voice. Yugi had stop looking around to see Mia walking towards them. She had her helmet off, and only had chest armour on, and wore white thin fabric pants. She had cigarette lit as she came over to them. Her skin wasn't as dark as other Egyptians that Yugi had seen. She had a whipped at her aid and a sword.

"A female warrior..." Yugi spoke as Mia smiled, then looked over at Shizuka.

"You called hon?"

"Yes, this is Seto's gift to Atem, he is from a different country which I'm sure you heard of," said Shizuka as Mia walked closer to Yugi.

"So, this is the slave, that was being sold in the market, well for now on kid. If you find your self in any trouble, just call for me. Now follow," Mia began to walk as Yugi and Shizuka followed.

"Um, may I asked?" Shizuka looked at Yugi and nodded. "How many female warriors do you guys have?" asked Yugi.

"Oh we just have the one, it's actually against the allow for women to fight, but ever since Mia had killed one of the Pharaohs best fighters. He had change the law, for anyone woman who is able to defence their selves against his fighters. They are allow in his army, so far Mia is the only one, and she is strongest out of them all!" smiled Shizuka as Yugi looked at her in astonish.

Mia had stop and two huge golden doors, and open them. Yugi was curious on what was behind the doors. When he found out, his mouth had dropped to the floor. It was a closet, one of the biggest ones that Yugi had ever seen.

"Okay, so we are looking for something light, and cool right?" said Mia as Shizuka nodded. Mia went into her closet as Yugi just stare. Shizuka smiled as she close Yugi's mouth.

"Mia was born in Egypt, but she has done a lot of traveling in her years before coming a knight for the Pharaoh," Yugi gulped as he saw the different weapons in the closet.

"Alright here we go," Mia handed him some underwear, shorts, and a t-shirt tunic. (I'm not sure if they had underwear in those times, so I'm just going to say they did... shrives at the thought of no underwear Nasty...)

"You go change over there," Mia pointed palm leave curtain. Yugi nodded as he took the clothes and walked over and behind the curtain. Shizuka was sure that Yugi was out of hearing distance, she turn and glared at Mia. "What?" wonder Mia.

"Show me your wrist!" Shizuka demanded.

"Now why should I do that?" wonder Mia. Shizuka narrowed her eyes as Mia

sighed. She took off her wrist bands as the fell to the floor. On her wrist were scars, as there seem to be many as Shizuka looked up at Mia.

"Why? Why Mia?" asked Shizuka as Mia looked away. "Mia..." Mia sighed as she walked over to one of the pillars.

"She was like my child, and I couldn't do anything to protect her or help her..." Mia closed her eyes tightly as Shizuka sighed.

"So, you were going to kill yourself?" Shizuka was upset.

"No one would miss me-ack!" Shizuka and pulled Mia down to her level and slapped her. Mia stared at Shizuka in shocked.

"How dare you think that way! Alex was like a sister to me, and she never treated me any less... Now if I find any more scars on that wrist, I would personally get someone to kill you, then I would get the priest Mahan to bring you to life and yell at you until your ears bleed!" hissed Shizuka.

Mia, she couldn't believe what Shizuka was telling her. Shizuka, a mere child, who spoke words of wisdom, telling her how to live her life, and she was taking this. Well as long as Mia knew Shizuka, she has always been true to her word.

"Alright, I'm done..." Yugi came out from behind the curtain as Shizuka put

her act on again as she let go of Mia.

"Oh wonderful!" Yugi smiled as he walked over to them. He handed his clothes over to Mia, who took them. "Now lets go meet your Mentor," said Shizuka as she began to drag Yugi out of the room. She shot Mia a glare before leaving the room.

Mia blinked a couple of times, before letting out a sighed. She shook her head and muttering how she was getting too old for this game. She walked over to the window and saw Atem sneaking out of the palace.

"Now what may you might be up to young prince huh?" Mia watched him and smiled. "Well, since no one knows of it. I might as well do some baby sitting." Mia went into her closet to get ready for day's adventure.

Shizuka lead Yugi to the kitchen, where a tall muscle man order around the servants.

"Karim," Shizuka called out. The guy, who was ordering people around turned around. He was a young guy, and had shoulder length black hair, and golden bands that went to his elbow. He also had a golden band around his head.

"Uh, isn't it little Shizuka, how are you? Hungry?" wonder the man name Karim.

"No, but I someone for your stations. He's Atem's little um... I'm not sure what Seto had called him, but he belongs to Atem," said Shizuka as Karim nodded. He looked over Yugi, who began to get nervous.

"His skin is way to fair, he would probably get heat stroke if he worked in here. Go see Shada, he might have something for him to do," said Karim as Shizuka nodded. "And here, these were made this morning," Karim handed Shizuka sticky buns as she and Yugi left. She thanked Karim and handed Yugi a sticky bun.

"He seems really nice," said Yugi as he began to eat the sticky bun as Shizuka told Yugi that he is.

"His father is a priest for the Pharaoh, so while his father works, he works in the kitchen, making sure all the meals are just right." said Shizuka as Yugi nodded. Then he looked over to the side and stop to stare at a servant girl. She stared up, as her eyes widen. She quickly ran down the hallway as Yugi was confused. "Yugi?"

"Why are the others scare of me?" wonder Yugi. Shizuka sighed, she believe in magic and the power of the gods as she looked at Yugi.

"They believe you are bad luck, it's not everyday, you see someone with skin such as yours," said Shizuka as she compare her to his skin.

"Is that why Karim didn't want me to work in his kitchen?" wonder Yugi as Shizuka smiled and shook her head.

"Oh no, Karim may think your bad luck, but most of the servants go out in the streets and shop and they garden out in the sun. I think he believe that your skin well burn if your out in the sun," said Shizuka as Yugi nodded his head in understanding.

"Now come on," They walk down the hall as Yugi kept getting looks from the guards and the servants. Yugi was really getting nervous as Shizuka started to go up the stairs. He stopped and looked at each other, who quickly looked at away. "Hurry, Yugi," Yugi quickly bolted up the stairs to catch up with Shizuka, where on the second level, there was less servants and guards around. They soon reach a tall door, which took two guards to open it as they enter it.

Inside, there was a huge pound, which looked like a lake in Yugi's eyes, and floating in the middle was a bald teen. He wore robes as Shizuka walked over to the edge of the pound, where Lily pads floated around as the room looked to be a garden.

"Shada?" called Shizuka.

"Just a moment Shizuka," said Shada. A strange aura surrounded Shada as Shizuka tilled her head in wonder, because Yugi saw the strange aura. He remember the energy from when he was born. It was warm as he held himself. He began to glow and floated into the air. Shada's eyes shot open widen as he quickly looked behind him. Yugi was in the air as Shizuka appear to be in a daze.

"Can it be? The light of the world..." Shada stood from his sitting position as he floated over to Yugi, but was a stop a force field. Shada's eyes widen. "It is, then the evil well be soon waken... and the guardian well relieve their self soon..." Yugi raise his head as his eye looked to be empty as Shada tilled his head.

"Your not of our lands, but... the guardian was born here, can the guardian be the young prince?" wonder Shada. Yugi's mouth was slightly open.

"Phoenixes...." Yugi muttered quietly, which Shada didn't hear. He was too busy thinking when he notice Yugi looked outside from the huge windows.

"Huh? Do you know where your guardian is?" wonder Shada.

"As the legend of the light and shadow worlds for told, the guardian was born here and no longer lingers amongst the living," spoke Shizuka as Shada looked at her, She appear to be in a trances.

"He controls her..." Yugi floated over to the window.

"But power of the guardian isn't lost for it's in another, and the when the time comes for the test. The guardian well show their true form to all, protect me until that day comes..." Shada looked and Yugi and nodded.

"Yes, it would be honour to guard you until your real guardian appears, but what if the prince?" wonder Shada.

"The prince... he has his own role in the legend of the light and shadow world. When his time of Pharaoh comes, his hidden powers well be waken... For now the warns has been told. The evil has been woken in my lands, and is now hunting for me.... Please help me..." There was a blinking light as Shada cover his eyes.

The sky darken as the clouds began to thunder. A beam of light shot into the sky as all of Egypt gasped as they saw this. Seto was out in the city limits when he saw the light. His eyes widen as he clench his hand into a fist.

"Can it be? This is the beginning of the end?" wonder Seto. He closed his eyes as he shook his head. He growled as he yelled for his cousin Atem. "Atem! The time has come! The legend of ancient times is now beginning! Please be ready!"

In England

Merlin and Alex walk amongst the villagers as they all looked at her. Alex looked at them and smiled. She waved at a woman, who got a sweat drop and went back to what she was doing.

"My, people to day are ever rude, wouldn't you agreed dear?" said Merlin as Alex sighed. Dranzer flew over head as Alex nodded in agreement. "Now come on, we mustn't keep the king waiting now," said Merlin as he told his horse to speed up. Alex giggled as the Dranzer screech from above them. Then something in the distance had caught Alex's eye. She looked over and saw a beam of light. Where is that? (Ho! She can see that far? O.O)

Merlin looked down at Alex and notice she was looking at something. He

looked in the direction she was looking and saw nothing.

"Alex dear, is there something wrong?" Alex snapped back from her gaze.

"Nothing is wrong papa, I just saw something in the distance is all," said Alex as she looked forward. Merlin raise a brow as he looked at Alex, but he pushed it to the side.
