I don't own Yu-gi-oh. Sorry!
Hi, here with another chapter! My writing style is kind of different than most fan fictions, so if you have any CONSTRUCTIVE (and I emphasize CONSTRUCTIVE) criticism, it will be greatly appreciated. Also, I must say I'm sorry for last chapter. It was kind of fast paced, so I tried to make this one slower.
CHAPTER 2
The hot Egyptian sun rose, as a young boy was riding his horse through the nothingness of the desert. Sand filled the landscape and everything was plain. Royally dressed, the young boy had his light brown hair waving in the wind, and gazed into the distance with his cold blue eyes. For some reason, when he rode, he felt free, free of the palace, free from his duties. He felt invincible.
But then he stopped. As he was riding he found a body a few feet ahead of him. Startled, he stared at it for minutes, curiously looking. What could've happened to that person? And how did there body get in the middle of the desert?
Finally, he got off his horse and advanced cautiously to the curled up body. There he saw a young girl. Her beauty amazed the young boy and then he felt grief.
But then the young girl's eyes flickered open. She shot up in a panic, looking around her. The boy was startled, but sighed with relief. At least she is alive.
Noticing her distress, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
The young girl shook her head. "No, no. You didn't startle me." She looked at him with the most beautiful blue eyes and he stared back. For minutes they just looked at each other, until the young girl quickly averted her eyes, embarrassed. The young boy quickly felt a pang of awkwardness and looked away quickly too. I hope she doesn't think I am a fool.
Then, for minutes, they just stood there, looking off in the distance.
Soon uncomfortable by the silence, the young boy piped up, "Umm…I can take you to your home, if you want."
The young girl looked down. "I don't have a home, anymore," she replied plainly.
Good going Seto. "Oh. Well, I can take you to your family," the young boy offered again.
Tears began to well up in the young girl's eyes and she shook her head. "They're all dead," she said through her tears.
Seto truly felt horrible. Great! Now you made her cry. You better come up with something to make her feel better. A few seconds passed and then Seto said, "I can take you to the Pharaoh's palace. I'm sure you can find a home somewhere near there."
The young girl stopped crying and began biting her lip in deep thought. She stood there staring at the ground in silence, until she raised her head and finally spoke. "I will come with you to the palace if you help me find a home there."
Seto shrugged. "Sure, and I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Seto.
The young girl smiled at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Seto. I am Aishizu."
Seto got on his horse and then motioned for Aishizu to get on. She apprehensively sat down on the horse's back, when Seto said, "Grab on to me."
Aishizu wrapped her arms around Seto, as he commanded his horse to run. The steed began to gallop and soon the two were at entrance to the Pharaoh's palace.
(Now focuses on Aishizu)
Aishizu was amazed when she followed Seto through the Pharaoh's palace. How amazing? The artwork, the architecture, its all so grand and magnificent. And they all have so much history. This is truly fit for the Pharaoh.
The Palace was decorated with tapestries of the gods and paintings of the past kings. It was grand with its high ceiling and had such a godly look. Everything was made from the highest quality, from the stone walls and tiled floors to the each tread sewn in the tapestries. Yes, this was fit for a Pharaoh.
But soon, Seto and Aishizu walked into the palace gardens. It too was grand with its maze of exotic flowers and trees. A fountain stood in the middle and a stone bench right next to it. There a young boy shouted, "Hey Seto, is that your girlfriend?"
Seto just scowled and then whispered to Aishizu, "That's Karim, a pretty obnoxious kid, if you ask me."
Karim walked over to Aishizu and warmly greeted, "Hi. I am Karim. I never met you before, so you don't mind if I ask for your name, do you?
Aishizu shook her head and smiled. "I am Aishizu."
"Oh. What a pretty—"
"Karim, where is Priest Akunadin?" interrupted Seto.
"Hmm…I think he's in the throne room," Karim suggested. Seto nodded and then went off again; Aishizu followed. Karim frowned and waved bye to Aishizu as she waved back.
Soon, they were in the main hall of the palace where the Pharaoh sat on his throne. Aishizu couldn't believe her eyes. Her pharaoh, her king, her god, sat just before her. He was decorated in various gold ornaments had such a strong and great aurora. Even his throne was made of pure gold. There before him was man dressed in a white robe. He had a look of pride, yet harshness and was talking to the Pharaoh.
When Aishizu looked over at Seto, she saw him bowing, so she immediately did the same. But she couldn't help over hearing the conversation between this man and the Pharaoh.
"My Pharaoh, the Seven Millennium Items have been created, but we must find the ones destined to hold them quickly, for they must be trained as priest first. Each millennium item will choose its holder. We should send news through out the kingdom for any worthy," explained the man.
The Pharaoh nodded. "Yes, Akunadin. Send the news immediately. My son, Atemu, is growing so quickly and I want strong and wise priest to guide him through his reign as Pharaoh." Akunadin nodded. Then the Pharaoh looked Seto and Aishizu. Aishizu's heart jumped. "Seto, I see you have brought a visitor. What is the purpose of your presence here?"
Seto's head rose. "My Pharaoh, I came to see Priest Akunadin, but unfortunately he was conversing with you. I'm deeply sorry for any disturbance I may have inflicted."
Aishizu stood there, but then the colors around her began to blur and Seto words started to slur (it rhymes! ). Even the floor began to spin. Everything was swirling around her, images mixing with images, sounds mixing with sounds. Oh no! Not again, not another vision. Aishizu collapsed right before the Pharaoh to the ground with a thump.
