Notes
Chess is a complicated game.
"No Mokie the knight moves in a L shape, like this. The knight is like a very smart person, it can think differently." Seto moved the pieces showing his brother and their pet lab Joseph how the pieces moved. "The king can only do things on impulse one step at a time, the queen never looks at the consequences she just takes care of threats that need to be handled right away, the rook and bishop have a one track minds and the pawns are just little drones they do what they are tld and nothing else."
"Never mind Seto chess is a stupid game. I don't want to learn to play it anymore"
"You're just giving up because it's too hard for you aren't you!" Seto accused
Mokuba crossed his arms and huffed. "Oh please it's dumb you act like it's a game that will change our lives forever!" Mokuba scattered the pieces with a swipe of his hand sending one of the hand made figurines crashing to the floor the ceramic figure lay shattered on the floor.
Picking up one of the pieces he chucked it at his brother's head. "YOU BRAT GRANDPA GAVE THAT SET TO ME!" Seto's sea blue eyes were filed with anger.
"OW!" Mokuba turned around hands on the spot where a pawn had hit him. "Seto that hurt! I'm telling!" Mokuba turned tail and ran towards the living room where Leigh (their baby sitter was).
"Seto raced after him with two motives first to catch Mokuba and not let him tell the second for him to get revenge for his ruined chess set. As Seto ran into the living room he slowed his pace coming to a halt. At the sight of a police officer at his door and Mokuba was clinging to Leigh's leg he came to the conclusion that something bad happened.
Mokuba once he noticed Seto's presence walked over and held out his hand. Seto in an attempt to comfort his brother held the small hand in his own grasp and sighed as the boy leaned on him.
"Seto?"
"What is it Mokie?"
"What does dead mean?"
It clicked Seto understood what happened now, and it took every ounce of strength and pride not to pass out on the spot. He hugged his brother and simply answered the question. "It means we cannot afford to be kings and we can never be pawns." We can never be pawns yet we always are with out ever noticing…
