DISCLAMER-SARIAHEAL DOES NOT OWN YUGIOH AT ALL.
Years Later
Cold brown eyes meet blue, intent on winning. They circled each other, showing no weakness. Finally, he pounced. She put up a good fight, but he was to strong. He had her pinned, and raised his hand to…poke her.
Akefia laughed and jumped up. "I win!"
Ari sighed, still on the ground.
"Why can't I win?"she asked, disappointed.
Akefia smiled and helped her up. " I just have more experience. You're doing great!"
Ari smiled" Really?"
"No."
Ari looked stricken, and Akefia laughed. "Just joking. Let's head back before we lose our dinners."
So they ran off, playing and joking and talking, all the way to the village. When they got to the place in the middle of the village where they had to stop, they stalled, not wanting the day to end. Finally, they said goodbye and walked away, waving to each other until they were engulfed by the horizon.
Ari skipped along the path to her home, humming all the way. Akefia was the greatest friend ever. As soon as she was finished with her dinner, she would meet him for a lesson on sneaking. She was much better at this than she was fighting, she was so fast and small.
Her mother was waiting for her .
"Arenel, honey, could you please get Maydenia ( May- dee-nee-a) for me. I let her out so she could run but now it is time for her dinner as well." Her mother asked softly. They owned the stables where the villagers kept their horses. Maydenia, a dark grey mare, was Ari's personal favorite.
"Sure, mother." Ari said, her nose crinkled in disgust at her real name.
Maydenia didn't roam far away, she never did. She was just beyond a little sand dune behind the village. When she saw Ari, she gave a little whine and trotted over to her, happy to see her mistress.
"Hey girl!" Ari laughed as Maydenia nuzzled her neck. Maydenia gave a snort in response.
"We got to get back, it's time for dinner."Ari said , petting the gentle mare. Maydenia gave a little whine at that, but allowed Ari to lead her up the sand dune. The sight that meet their yes caused Ari to gasp and Maydenia to scream.
The village was burning, it's people running from soldiers. In her horror, Ari felt time slow and her senses increase. Through her haze, she could see her mother, struggling to free herself from one gaurds hold. In the space of a second, though to Ari it felt like hours, her mother lifted her head to meet her daughters gaze. "RUN!" she mouthed.
Ari, terrified out of her senses, climbed onto Maydenia's back and rode off. Her life as she knew it was over. Her mother, her father, Akefia, they were dead.
