DISCLAIMER- Okay guys you know the drill. I don't own YGO and this Fan-Fiction is based loosely off the Eragon books which I don't own either, as for the Chapter title it too is based off a song from the Lion King.

So please don't sue and as always please Review

888888

This is set in an AU where the four main races/nations are- Demons, Elves, Humans and Dwarfs….

BLURB; For thousands of years there has been a brittle peace through the Dragon Riders. But when the elves are left with no Rider to represent them the playing field is shifted and a strange bargain has to be made for the greater good…

Chapter 2- Parliament and Pleasantries

Yugi groaned pulling the blankets tighter, refusing to get out of bed.

His cheeks where still red from crying and his eyes hurt,

His master, guardian and parental figure was dead.

He had no dragon therefore no way of honoring his master's death and the Demons would be dancing on his grave if given the chance.

He felt like he'd failed already and hated the very idea of facing the people he had tried to protect…

Yugi knew it wasn't really his fault but his heart ached and he still felt the guilt like a searing knife in his gut.

Ryou had always been good to Yugi, of course by tradition Yugi was more important than Ryou on the food chain, but they where true friends

That's why the Elven king left Yugi in his room to be alone for awhile.

Atem grinned taking pleasure in the power his nation now held over the Elves.

He would travel to the Elven capital in short time to negotiate an agreement of sorts, but until then he was left to do as he pleased

One of the most noticeable differences of Atem's court to that of the previous rulers was the lack of Whores posted around the palace.

Atem thought they where all cheap sluts but that was why all the demons enjoyed them so.

No demon dined the female of the species was un-trustworthy and would sleep with anything that moved, but no one cared.

You could often tell a mated demon from an un-mated demon by the noticeable missing of a limb or two.

Demons didn't mate for love they mated for pleasure, position and young to carry on their line.

To them love was meaningless.

So many disapproved of Atem's decision, but he was their ruler, his word was law and you did not argue

Everyone knew Atem inherited great power from his father, but little was known about his mother

No one knew her name, where she came from, how she met the king or what happened to her.

Atem refused to enter into the subject, so everyone assumed she was a demon woman of some power whose whereabouts where now unknown.

Ryou was in a panic.

The demon officials- no worse the demon monarch, Atem, would be in the capital in a matter of moments with god knew how many men.

THUD

Ryou stared in horror from the palace windows as Atem's red dragon Szikari began to descend from the heavens into the forest capital

THUD

The sound of the creature's wings was deafening, and Elves prepared their weapons instinctively for battle

THUD

The monster had golden eyes that could only compare to that of a cat or snake. Its scales shinned like a thousand miniature rubies and the membranes on its wings remained the deep color of wine matching the haunted eyes of its rider.

THUD

The beast was accompanied by two demons on two black creatures with callused skin, blister and feather covered wings, dead green eyes, two bulging legs that seemed too big for their bodies and huge ivory teeth oozing puss and saliva between the fangs….

THUD

The Dragon's feet slammed onto the forest floor sending tremors through the ground as it let out an enormous roar.

The Rider Prince on its back smirked exposing sharpened canines and surveyed the surrounding elves whilst adjusting his black clothing and leather like armor.

THUD

The dragon's wings slowed to a final stop leaving Ryou trembling against the window frame.

Taking a deep strangled breath Ryou yelled panicked at a servant to fetch Yugi.

If that was the enemy Ryou faced he was going to need all the help he could get….

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Atem walked proudly into the hall of the elves holding his head high as the guards moved out of his way.

As the doors to the Elven parliament where hastily thrown open, Atem took a glance back at his escorts Bakura and Seth.

The young Elven King, Ryou he believed, quickly sat in the throne straightening his robes.

It was clear there arrival was not expected so soon.

"King Ryou," greeted Atem standing tall and sending dark glances around the room at various members of state.

"King Atem," replied Ryou "Is there some reason for your visit?"

Atem smirked.

It seemed Ryou was not in the mood for the usual pleasantries, that was a good thing as Elves usually liked to drag on proceedings

"I am here concerning the matter of your recently departed Rider, know my people send their blessings"

"Please your Highness, I thank you but I sincerely doubt the sincerity of those blessings" answered Ryou confusing several people in the room with his clever tongue.

"It is no worry of your people, but we appreciate the gesture"

"I believe it is a worry of my people" replied Atem "We have never been on good terms, and my kind are blood thirsty, it would seem that your people require our assistance if you wish to avoid a conflict"

"Are you saying you want to offer peace?"

"Not quiet, my people would not take kindly to a deal that did not benefit both parties. Though, I'm sure in your present state you'd be willing to consider a deal of some sort"

"Is that a threat Lord Atem?"

"No such thing my friend" replied Atem, eyes glowing with the malice of a predator.

This did not go un-noticed by Ryou, butting heads and intimidation where all part of demonic politics.

"ELVEN RIDER, LORD YUGI!" called an Elven herald throwing open the doors to a young elf

Atem turned to face his enemy.

He seemed very young for one of his kind with the typical fine figure, long legs, high cheek bones and pointed ears of his race.

He was garbed in rather simple but flattering clothing

But as he raised his eyes and Atem caught sight of those liquid-gem eyes, still containing traces of sorrow,

His fate was sealed….

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Vanya; Wow…this is soooo weird…

Deyja; Not bad- nightmarish monsters, evil demons and a kick ass dragon… But where did you come up with Szikari?

Vanya; No clue, it just came to me

Deyja; Damn what are you going to think up for the other dragons?

Vanya; who knows
