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 3- Demonic Proposal
Atem stared at Yugi with growing interest
This was the future Elven rider?
Over the shared mind link he held with his dragon Atem received a message from Szikari, who was to large to fit inside the hall.
"What's so exciting, my Other-Half?"
Sending the Dragon a mental image of the rider Atem could almost hear Szikari purring through the walls in appreciation
"An extraordinary beauty, you should pursue him if it is what you desire"
"Perhaps I will, after all, this could be twisted to our advantage"
"King Ryou," Greeted Yugi bowing formally "Noble visitors" he continued trying to keep as composed as possible
Nodding swiftly Atem turned to Ryou
"If I may, your highness, a moment with my escorts" requested the demon
"Take you time"
Glancing to Seth and Bakura, Atem continued speaking in the demonic tongue which consisted of a series of grunts, clicks, twisted pronunciation and backwards words.
As the conversation climaxed, Seth and Bakura seemed rather surprised and angered before begin silenced by a single deadly quiet sentence from Atem.
Ryou looked questioningly at Yugi, who shrugged in response
"King Ryou" started Atem, switching back to the normal language "I believe there is a way we can ensure peace and equal benefit for both our nations"
"Yes continue, we are open to suggestions"
"We will declare peace and alliance to the Elves under a …" Atem paused "Contract of sorts"
"What do you mean?" asked a brave Elf diplomat
"Riders have long since been the source of the most devastating conflicts, by binding both our nations Riders so they could not turn against each other we would reach a level of peace like never before"
"Think of it, if the Riders where sworn to each other, they could not fight each other and would have to ally with the other sides forces in times of need. Support you require" Stated Atem weaving his words like a snake
Ryou stared at Atem suspiciously
"How would we bind the Riders as you say?" asked the Elf raising an eyebrow, this all seemed to good to be true
"In marriage"
Yugi almost choked on his own breath, as did several Elves.
"WHAT?" demanded Ryou standing up in a moment of passion
"Can you think of a deeper more honorable binding?" accused Atem narrowing his gaze
"I think our party should discus this further in private!" stated Yugi, trying to remain calm
"I sincerely doubt such discussion is necessary" replied Bakura folding his arms
"Yes" continued Atem "Your government needs our support, in your present state I could invade your land without challenge so you are in no position to be making demands or suggestions of any sort"
Ryou glared, it was the cold truth and there was no denying it….Damn the demons!
Yugi glanced at Ryou pleadingly, the Elf king bit his lip before sighing deeply.
"Fine, we will draw up the treaty for your government to sign" answered Ryou, trying to ignore the victorious smirk on Atem's face
"Good" replied the Demon "We shall return to our capital to prepare proceedings, I expect your Rider at my palace in four days, If not…" Atem glanced at Yugi through narrow eyes "I will fetch him"
And with that they left…..

After the black creatures and Szikari took off Yugi couldn't hold himself together anymore.
Running outside the Elf threw up all ha had consumed the day before, his mouth tasting like bile.
Steadying himself on a nearby tree the Rider tried to take deep breaths to clear his head.
He'd been trained for all sorts of things, but not begin given away as mate to a demon!
He ignored Ryou as the other came out to join him.
"Yugi I'm sorry"
"Sorry! You might as well of dammed my soul back there!"
"I did what I had to, there was no other option"
"You could have said no!"
"Then they would have killed us all!"
"You betrayed me" hissed Yugi "You sold me out"
"I didn't, Yugi it needed to happen" sighed Ryou "I don't like it either but we don't have much choice"
"So because you can't find an egg I am condemned to live with that-that-" Yugi faltered, not begin able to think of a word foul enough to describe Atem.
"Maybe not" replied Ryou letting himself smile a little "I have a plan"
"Oh?"
"Yes but it's a long-shot"
"Anything! I'd go the gates of hell to get out of this deal!"
"In four days you have to report to Atem if you can find a Dragon before then, we can tear up the treaty, we won't need Atem's alliance anymore" explained Ryou "But it seems impossible"
"I don't care" replied Yugi "I have to try"
"Then I hope the best for you, I don't wish such a fate upon a friend"
"Nor I upon you Ryou, but if I end up with that creature as my husband I will find you and hurt you" threatened Yugi
Ryou nodded not in the least worried
"Whatever it takes"

"That was madness!" screamed Seth over the sweeping landscape
"It worked didn't it! Think of all the advantages this union will bring!" replied Atem not to be out argued
"I don't understand why you didn't go with the Prince" called Bakura over the bellowing winds
"The rider is more important in society, he has more power hence he is more useful"
"It's not just that is it?" asked Bakura raising an eyebrow
"Perhaps" replied Atem "You have to admit he was attractive"
"I thought the Prince was hotter" commented Bakura shrugging
"Who knows maybe next time I can make him marry you!" joked Atem smirking proudly
"See what you can do"
"I can't believe you two!" scolded Seth angrily "Elves are our sworn enemies and here you are binding yourself to them!"
"You need a woman Seth" replied Bakura
"I agree"
"Yes a good looking shelia with long legs and a bad temper would spice up your life" continued Bakura ignoring Seth's sound of distress.
"Certainly, but where would we find a demon with an attitude more foul than Seth's?" questioned Atem, Szikari grunting in agreement
"It would be difficult your Majesty, but I'm sure we could organize it"
"See you do that he's so very annoying when he's got nothing better to do"
"I'M RIGHT HERE!"

Yugi grabbed his weapons, cloak and one of the Elven horses from the stables
"You're best options are great mountain tops" instructed Ryou
"They're popular nesting places, if I where you I'd go to the Ghisrk mountains in Dwarf territory to the south or the Yerjpi Mounts in Human territory to the west"
"I've heard strange things about the Dwarfs so I shall seek out the Yerjpi Mountains first. Better to go to a land I am familiar with" replied Yugi tossing up his hood to hide his ears
"Just remember, it's dangerous out there, humans are brutal uncivilized people. Their lands are riddled with bandits and murderers who'd love an Elf horse to sell off"
"You forget" started Yugi, smiling "I am the most skilled Elf, after my master, in the areas of Magic and Combat"
"I suppose, but please don't lose track of time, I hate to think what that demon will do when disobeyed"
"Ryou, He'll have to drag me to the capital kicking and screaming" whispered Yugi, nudging his horse and taking off into the forests deeper growth
Ryou smiled placing two fingers on his lips in sign of respect (1)
"Good luck my friend"
