Chapter 2: The Foreshadow Truth

"How about I tell you a story that your Great Grandfather used to tell me?" Solomon suggests.

Yugi quickly nods, at least it will keep his mind occupy for the time being. He didn't want to think about the scary things that might pop out once they let down their guards.

"Then I'll start from here…"

It was the night of the lunar eclipse when the Shaman made the foreshadowing truth. A pregnant woman stood before the altar. Her husband beside her as they wait for the Shaman's blessing. The villages were excited and dancing to the Song of Rebirth. It wasn't until the beginning of a new day when the Shaman appears. He gave the married couple a tiring smiled as he usher them to sit down. Once that was done, he pulled out a white paper with a written number that either consisted of 1 or 2.

In the village, twin is considered a bad omen. However, many twins have been born before, and so far, not one twins was considered a bad omen until then at least.

"2?" the woman repeated as she stared at the paper.

"Yes," the Shaman confirmed, "Twins. You will have twins."

"Will everything be all right?" the husband asked in alert, since he is the leader of the village.

"I am not sure. It is the first time this has happen," the Shaman sighed, "I sense a great evil."

"A great evil?" the couple repeated.

"Yes, but I also sense a great goodness as well," the Shaman said, "Usually it is either good or evil, but this time, there's both."

"Does that mean one is going to be good and other is going to be evil?" the husband asked.

"It's possible, but I said that it is best to give them both up. We can not take any chances," the Shaman said.

"But," the woman looked at her stomach, and then back to the Shaman, "As their mother," she gently touched her stomach, "I want to give them a chance to know true happiness. I want them to know the meaning of love just like I have. I want them to meet new people that they can learn to trust. I want them to have the life that they wanted. I don't want to take all that from them. If one of then truly turned out to be evil, then as their mother, I will take sole responsibility for their action."

The Shaman looked into her eyes and there wasn't a speck of insecurity. Letting out a sigh, he nodded, "Then we'll do as you said."

"Thank you," she smiled and then turned to her husband, who managed a small smiled.

"We'll both take sole responsibility for them," he said quietly to her as he stroked her long black hair.

"Hm," she laid her head on his shoulder as the two wished for the day their children will be born.

"Grandpa," Yugi asked as they continued hiking up the mountain, "One really did become evil, right?"

"Yes," Solomon replied, "But he wasn't at first. He was a good-hearted person just like his twin brother, but unlike his brother, he wasn't as strong. So he turned to the only thing that will make him stronger."

"But what made him change?" Yugi asked.

"Hmm," Solomon thought for a moment, "Let's get on with the story and find out."

"Mommy!" a 5 years old boy with hair like snow came rushing into the hut carrying a big salmon, "Look what big brother and I caught!"

"My, that is one big salmon," his mommy smiled, "Good job, Bakura."

"Bakura! I told you not to run! You might trip and hurt yourself!" another boy around Bakura's age rushed in after him. The boy have tri color hair and; though they were twins, they don't look anything alike.

"Sorry, big brother!" Bakura apologized.

"Ah, welcome home," their mother smiled at Yami.

"We're home, mom," Yami replied, "Where's dad?" he looked around the hut.

"Your father is out hunting," she replied and took the salmon from Bakura.

"Why don't you two go freshen up and we'll have dinner," she suggested.

"Okay!" Bakura chirped and started skipping out of the hut.

"Bakura!" Yami shouted after his younger brother.

"Yami!"

Yami turned back to his mother, "Yes, mom?"

"Tomorrow… why don't you and your brother go play a little longer," she said softly.

"But dad doesn't like us outside the village too long," Yami said.

"It was your father's idea," she informed, "So don't hurry back, alright?"

For a moment he thought he saw her face sadden, but maybe he was just imagining things. "Okay!" he smiled and rushed out after his brother.
