This chapter will contain violence but also a bit of one-sided emotions (ya know what kind), owh, and another character line is starting

I don't own Yu-gi-oh… blablabla (I'm in a depression, it ain't new too so I'm a bit short on talk)

[The Vision]

He awoke, sweating as he looked around the room wildly untill he noticed that there was little light around him, it was early in the morning, "what..?" he jumped out of his bed and stood before the window, his mind was chaos.

"That dream…" he whispered and frowned, it was always the high priest who got such dreams, those of his own were meaningless, "but it seemed so much like a command" he frowned deeper and started to dress himself, he could not sleep anymore.

"Pharaoh?" A guard looked curiously as he left the room but he payed no attention as he hastily walked through the palace, he knew exactely where he was going despite the royal house being huge, his decision was made and was not to be changed.

"Prepare my ride, tell the royal escorts to get their behinds out of their nests and have rations prepared!!!" he yelled and slaves immediately scattered all throughout the palace to obey the ruler of Egypt's orders. (AU: I'm giving him a horse, it's a bit faster than camel, let's say it's a pretty dang good horse! I know there might ain't even horses in that time, but heck)

"That could've been done much faster!" He snarled as the small group was finally ready to leave, his escorts were looking sleepy but at the sight of the Pharaoh's burning eyes, they looked very much alive by the second, "The high priest will be handling the palace affairs in the time that I'm gone" he said and missioned his horse out of the gate, his escort following him along with two supply-horses.

He sighed as he lay on the ground, his body curled up and his eyes closed, but he still saw that what happened far of in the hot desert. He opened his eyes and the violet orbs started to glow and the bushes around him started to stir in the energy flow. The being disappeared with a bright flash, leaving only an imprint of his body in the green padded ground.

~*~

The Pharaoh ignored his escorts as they wondered where they were going, he chose to simply drive his ride down south while thinking about the dream/vision/whatever-it-was;

~~~

He was travelling through a desert of red sand, alone, and he didn't know where he was going, then he saw that fog was surrounding him and he found himself in a green environment. "where am I!?" he shouted but there was no answer to his question, instead, he saw a stone and he slowly aproached it: Words glowed up spelling 'who are you?'

"I am the Pharaoh, Ruler of both upper and lower Egypt! Master of the Shadow Games!" the stone did not seem impressed and he could smack himself for his face, he was talking to a stone, he was surely paranoid!

'…You don't know what mercy is…' the words changed and a face much like his own appeared, glaring at him with an even colder expression than he could muster himself and the Pharaoh stepped back in shock, 'your people will hate you… if you don't honor Amun-Ra's will' the words were hissed now and the environment changed rapidly, it was a forest now, rich and healthy, before he felt like being pulled towards north, his eyes began to tear from the hot desert sands and air as he was rudely smacked against the walls of the royal palace, and he awoke startling, sweating and confused.

~~~

He stopped thinking and found themselves an incredibly long way across the deserts, probably further than scouts had ever been before, "the desert of death" he whispered as he looked back, without noticing it, they had crossed it, coming out into a very rocky terrain, "hmm" he concentrated and used his powers to invade the minds of his escorts "(Darn, this heat is unbearable!/ His Highness is displeased, he's going to leave us in this desert, chained and all!!/ When is lunch?)" he smiled, they had no faith in him, pathetic souls.

~*~

They watched how the small group entered the rocklands, their horses were trained to be silent and made little noise as they ventured down, they pulled the masks over their scarred and tatooed faces as they followed the intruders, their rides sped up into running and they readied their swords, their leader motioned to kill all except for the horses and the royal-looking leadsman… his band nodded and the horses quickly approached, the pharaoh's escort was unprepared as the foreign horses forced themselves among them and the attackers drove their swords into the guards.

~*~

"My Lord Pharaoh!!!" one of the royal escorts shouted before the attackers cut in on them, the pharaoh turned around with widened eyes as his men were slain and he hastily unsheathed his own sword, readying himself for the battle which he hadn't foreseen, 'bandits!' he growled at the thought and suddenly, he felt a strong pressure on the back of his head along with a dagger digging into his shoulder and he collapsed into darkness…

He opened his eyes groaning, narrowing his eyes at the red light of dusk… 'dusk? Dusk?!' he opened his eyes quickly, ignored the pain and jumped up, or, he tried at least… with a choking sound, he fell back against the pole he was tied up to, ropes held him tightly so he could not slip away, "owh.." he moaned as his wrists were cut in by his actions and he wisely stayed still, looking around instead; he was tied up to an obelisk-shaped pole which was placed in the middle of a village, surrounded by trees.

"well, this ain't the afterlife I expected" he whispered, his voice raw and he noticed that his pharaohic ornaments were taken from him, along with the sennen puzzle! His breath stopped cold, he was only wearing his pants, which was torn and filthed with blood and dirt and he was scratched and damaged, "this really ain't the afterlife I expected" he agreed and carefully watched how the villagers ignored him, doing their tasks with trained ease and his blood began to boil "I'm the pharaoh by Amun-Ra! Get me loose and I might be mercifull on you!" he shouted but the children found him rather amusing, they were the only one who looked at him.

"The insolence…" he hissed through clenched teeth but all his anger faded away as his eyes locked on one boy who was not paying attention to him, he instead carried water buckets to one of the huts.

The pharaoh felt himself hypnotized by the boy, he looked very young and was a live image of himself, yet there was no dark aura around this other one, he radiated innocence like a lightbeakon. The pharaoh was disappointed when the boy entered the hut, but his heart began pounding faster as that same boy was making his way to the pharaoh, looking up at him with no shame as he climbed onto a stone so he could easily bring a cup filled with water towards the pharaoh's lips, "you have travelled for long, you must drink" A clear voice filled the pharaoh's ears and he drank, his eyes never leaving the boy's face, the violet eyes were hypnotizing, reading every emotion from the pharaoh's features and his live image grinned shyly, taking the cup away when it was empty.

"What is your name?" The pharaoh asked and the boy shocked, stepping back from him as he looked at the pharaoh frightened, seeming to turn around, "no, please, wait! I only want to know your name!" at that moment, a woman called out to the boy, "Yugi! Get back in the house at once!" Without looking back, the boy left the pharaoh by the pole…

"He's so pure" he whispered as he watched the boy leave, he could only think of the boy's face and pure violet eyes as night settled in, surprisingly enough, all the surrounding trees and growth on the ground provided a natural prison for heat, the coldness of the night-desert could not reach into this place, "wherever this place is" he whispered but it didn't matter that much, at the moment, he wanted to know more of the boy, his live image.

CCG: _alright, I must quit here, but at least things are getting interesting ^__^
