===Yugi pov===
Mai led us to the throne room of the palace, there a man was graying hair dressed in a dark green jacket, a light yellow shirt and long white trunks. He was talking to a young girl with long red brown flowing hair, she wore a light pink dress and wore a gold hand band. The man looked at us and smiled.
"Atemu may you have grown a lot" the man said
"I could say the same thing Akil" Atemu said
Akil chuckled then looked at me, his eyes widen in surprise
"You didn't tell me you have a brother" Akil said
"No he is not, this is Yugi a traveler" Atemu said
"Nice to meet you" I said
I held out my hand and he stared at me oddly. He smiled and grabbed my hand and shook it.
"I believe that was a hand shake correct" he asked
"Yes" I answered
"Not many people like to greet each other that way but, it's a start. Atemu you must be anxious to see Serenity" he said
"It's been awhile since we last seen each other" Atemu said
"Serenity" Akil called
The girl with the pink dress walked over to me and smiled then she bowed.
"It's been awhile since we seen each other Atemu" she said
"My dear girl, Atemu is right here" Akil said
"I'm sorry" she said
She went over to Atemu and bowed
"I am really sorry about that Atemu, Yugi looks a lot like you" she said
"That's ok" Atemu said
"You two must have a lot of catching up to do. Atemu why don't you take Serenity out for a horse ride" Akil said
"Alright, I'm sure you will give my guests their rooms during the stay" he asked
"Of course, now run along you two" Akil said
Atemu and Serenity bowed and left the room, Mana grabbed my hand and we followed one of the servants towards I guess the guest rooms.
"So what do you think of Serenity" Mana asked
"She seems nice, I thought I saw a few bruise on her arm" I said
We went into the room and Mana sat on the bed, I sat down right next to her.
"Don't tell anyone I told you this but, there is a rumor that princess Serenity is losing her eyesight" she said
"No way" I said
"I don't know what that means but, I think the rumor is true and Akil is worried for her" she said
"Why" I asked
"Well if Serenity loses her eye sight she will have trouble ruling this kingdom and worst of all she will have trouble raising the next generating" she said
"When did you find this out" I asked
"When we were little, she always ran into things" she said
"That's why Atemu had an arrange marriage with Serenity" I said out loud
"You like Atemu don't you" she said
I blushed like crazy and looked away, Mana chuckled then tackled me
"You do like him don't you" she cheered
"Please don't tell anyone" I said
"Don't worry on my wand I won't tell anyone" she said
She smiled and I smiled back, someone knocked on the door. Mana got up from the bed and opened the door. It was Mahad.
"It's time to practice on your spells Mana" he said
"Awww do I have to" she whined
"Yes, Yugi would you like to come with us" he asked me
"No, I'm pretty tired from the boat ride. I want to take a nap" I said
"Alright we'll see you at dinner" he said
"Bye Yugi" Mana said
"Bye Mana bye Mahad" I said
They left the room and I sighed then rolled onto my side. I wonder how much Serenity likes Atemu, I wonder if she loves him. I sighed again and rolled onto my other side. Someone knocked on the door, I looked up and sighed
"Come in" I said
The person opened the door to revel Mai, the large red bird of hers spread its wings and flew over to me. This bird was bigger then I though, it's wing span must have been about five feet long, and it had a long neck about three feet long, there mixes of orange and gold in its feathers. I wonder if this is a real live phoenix. The bird land next to me and nuzzled my hand, I smiled and slowly stroked its head.
"That is unusually Hikmat doesn't taking a liking to strangers" she said
"He seems nice" I said
"Here I brought your bag for you" she said
I got up from the bed and grabbed my bag from her.
"Thank you" I said
"Are you sure you aren't Atemu brother or something" she asked
"I'm sure" I said
Hikmat flew over to Mai and landed on her shoulder, I looked at the bird curiously.
"Isn't he heavy" I asked
"No, Hikmat is pretty light once you get use to it" she said
"That's pretty cool" I said
"What's cool" she asked
"Sorry it's a word we say when we think something is...well good or something like that" I said
"Must be a strange place where you come from" she said
She chuckled lightly and looked at me, her piercing eyes stared at me with a look that made me feel uneasy.
"Is that all you want Mai" I asked
"Well I thought for sure that you might be Atemu brother of something but, I guess I was wrong" she said
"Why did you think I was his brother, I know we look kind of a like but still there is no relation between us" I said
"I wanted to ask you something but, it's not important any more" she said
"I don't know much but, I can help" I said
She sighed and walked over to the bed and sat down. Hikmat nuzzled her cheek, she smiled and stroked the red bird head.
"Please you don't have to do this for me, it may get you punished or worse" she said
"Mai is it that dangerous" I said
I walked over to her and sat on the bed, Mai sighed and looked at me.
"Tell Atemu to cancel the marriage between him and Serenity" she said
"What" I said
"You don't have to do it if you don't want to but, I don't want him to marry Serenity" she said
"Why" I asked
"Because she is the most precious thing on this world, she had a heart bigger than the Nile. I hate to see her married to a monster like Atemu" she said
"Monster, Atemu is not a monster" I said
"Looks are deceiving Yugi, Atemu is a cruel and evil" she said
"I think you are lieing" I said
She grabbed my hand with the gold ring and stared at it.
"I would get rid of this before it's too late" she said
I took back my hand and glared at her. Hikmat ruffled his feathers and glared at me.
"Get out" I said
"Alright" she said
She got up from my bed and went over to the door.
"Remember my words Yugi, Atemu is not the pharaoh you know about" she said
She left and I sighed then laid on my bed. What did Mai mean by Atemu is evil? Could she be trying to break the proposal between him and Serenity? And if she is then is she in love with Atemu? I sighed heavily and closed my eyes, maybe some sleep would do me good.
