Chapter 8:Arrival

Ishizu's POV

We arrived earlier than expected, so I had to awaken the boys. Yugi was easy to get awake, contrary to my brother. It took me ten minutes to awaken him.

"I'm awake, sister,' Marik finally said, standing up.

"Good. I'll be on deck if you need me," I told him.

"Okay sister," Marik replied.

I waited on deck for him. I could see the approaching coastline of our destination. Yugi soon walked up beside me.

"Hey," Yugi said, very calm.

"Hello Yugi. Are you ready?" I asked him.

"I think so," Yugi said after thinking for a little bit.

"I do believe that I am also," I said. Just then Marik walked on the deck.

"Hello," Marik said, walking beside me then leaning on the railing. "We have never been here, have we sister?"

"No, this is a first time for us all," I replied to both Marik and Yugi.

Soon I could see the building that we would soon call our home. We saw multiple figures standing on a balcony welcoming us. We would soon meet them, but first we had to dock at a port just a mile farther down the river.
When we arrived to the port Carter and Sadie were waiting for us in a car.
"Where did you get that?" Yugi asked.
"We borrowed it," Sadie said. "Hop in."
No one objected, our bags were heavy. We placed our bags in the truck of the car Sadie and Carter had 'borrowed'. We had soon arrived at our new home.
"Welcome to the 21st Nome," Sadie said, guiding us into the doors of the house on the river.
"Thank you," I replied, walking through the door.
The inside was bigger than it appeared. In the center of a large room stood a statue of the god Thoth.
"It is beautiful," I commented.
Sadie nodded. "It's Thoth, for those of you that don't know it."
Carter gave us a tour of the whole house. The library was very impressive, and the balcony had a beautiful view of the river. Soon we were introduced to the other initiates.
The names ran together. Alyssa, Felix, Walt, and their baboon, Khufu. There were so many with such different ages it was obvious that magical abilities had no boundaries as of age. We were some of the oldest there, at least I was. Only a couple were above college age, and the youngest were just infants or toddlers. All of them had the abilities that were told to me and my brother in the ancient scripts. Obviously, we did as well or we would not be here.

"Do you like penguins?" asked one of the smaller ones. I do believe that his name was Felix.

"Yes. Why?" I replied.

"Then you might be a cold magician like me!" Felix exclaimed.

Silently, I wondered how that was possible in Ancient Egyptian magic, but I kept to myself.

"Now calm down, Felix. They don't really know what they are even doing here yet," Sadie told the child, then looked up at me, my brother, and Yugi. "Let's go. I'll fill you in."

Sadie lead us back to the library with Carter and Walt following us. There were chairs set up in the room for the initiates to study, so we used those and sat in a loose circle.
Sadie spoke first. "Everyone settle in, because this might take awhile."
