Marik could not help but feel very nervous as he walked down the aisle between the desks. He had to go further back in the row than Odeon so he had gone first. He could feel the stares and a couple of glares from the people around him. He desperately wished that he did not have to be here. Both Yugi and Bakura were looking at him with fear in their eyes. He had to sit between them both. Knowing that if he even looked at Yugi or Bakura, their yamis would attack, he kept his yes on the floor as he walked to his desk. Odeon spent a calming mental touch to help sooth his nerves. Sighing Marik went about getting ready for class.
In the past in Egypt
In the poorer area of the Capital City
"Brother, brother, there are soldiers coming!" shouted the young teen as he ran through the alleyway to his house. His platinum blond hair flashed in the sunlight as he ran into the courtyard in front his house. His brother's head came up to stare at him.
"Where are they headed?" the brother asked.
"They're headed here. The shop keeper warned me of a raid," the teen replied.
"Brother, come with me." The brother's white hair dulled as he walked into the house. The teen followed him.
"Where are we going?" the teen asked.
"We are going somewhere safe," the brother replied.
The brother led the way down to a tunnel under the sand. He helped the teen jump down. He jumped down after the teen.
"Where does this tunnel lead?" the teen asked his brother.
"It leads to safety," the brother replied.
In the palace
"Brother, brother, Papa wants to see you!" cried a girl as she ran toward her brother. Her pale blond hair was hidden by black wig. Her brother's tri- colored head looked up from the book he was looking at. Quickly he put the book back and turned to his sister.
"Why does father want to see me?" he asked.
"He wants our help to pick out the decoration and other things for the celebration on Friday. He also wants us to be fitted for our robes for the religious ceremony in two weeks," she replied.
His reply was interrupted by a scraping noise. He pushed his sister behind him as he looked at the tile that was moving on its own about ten feet from where they were standing. Finally the tile was pushed aside. Two heads popped from the hole.
The white hair brother and the boy looked at each other and shouted, "YOU!" at the same time.
Suddenly the room was filled with soldiers with their spears pointing at the two boys in hole in the floor.
"Move aside," said a commanding voice from somewhere behind the soldiers. The soldiers made an opening in their formation for the owner of the voice.
"Ah, so the first two children of my late wife have for a visit," the voice said.
The boy's face acquired a look of disgusted. "Papa, are you telling me that I am related to…. them?"
"Yes, son, I am," the father replied. "Soldiers, you are dismissed. The four of you come with me."
Can anyone guess who the three boys are? The girl will be revealed later.
