SM:WHOO! Two updates written

Disclaimer: does it LOOK like I own anything???

The next morning, Yami was woken up by a servant, dressed, and shooed down the hall to breakfast with Soloman.

He was met with the sight of the pharaoh pouring over scrolls of some sort. Soloman had his brow furrowed with a very tired expression on his face. He did not look up as his grandson entered the room. Whatever was troubling Soloman, it was deep.

Most of the meal went silently, until the pharaoh looked Yami directly in the eye. Yami felt as if the eye contact was made of pure fire.

"Times are desperate, Yami. I will not hide it from you any longer, Shadow duels are becoming more and more common, and monsters are running wild. I will not be around forever, and it will be your responsibility to save our people." Soloman informed, Yami just nodded. He had never really been informed with the on goings of the empire. "I am also concerned with you finding a wife. I have made plans to have a ball that every woman in Egypt will attend to. Maybe that will give you a taste of those outside the palace walls." Soloman continued. Yami, stunned by this news, just sat there and nodded.

"May I be excused?" Yami asked. Answered with a nod, Yami called for the Dark Magician and ran to the courtyards.

Yami and the Dark Magician ran to their favorite spot. It was a little oasis just outside the gardens. There they sat and talked, "Oh, Dark Magician. What am I to do?!?" Yami exclaimed, "Can't he see that I do not wish to be wed?" Yami started pacing. "Maybe I'll run away, or hide, or scream and shout or.or.I don't know!!!"

The Dark Magician sat quietly through this sudden outburst of emotion and calmly replied, "I will stand by whatever path you choose, but remember life is not as simple as it seems. Never is it simply one is better than the other but a mixture of things. Many a men would wish to be in this place. And yet here you are trying to get out. Life is very hard out there." The mage stared off at the village thoughtfully *Maybe it is time you found out what that life is like.*

Suddenly, a servant called, "Prince Yami!, the Celtic Gaurdian is here for your lesson."

Yami ran off, leaving the mage to his thoughts, happy for the distraction.
