Chapter 2

Atop a distant mountain sat a giant black dragon, his eyes were locked onto a small group of riders. As he watched, he formulated a plan, a plan that would bring King Solomen to his knees. Atem knew if anything happened to the King's grandson, Solomen would do anything to get him back safely, even if it ment giving up the throne and bowing down to superior might of Atem and to crown him the lord and master of the world!

Atem grinned at the thought of Solomen bowing down to him as his lord and master. Atem wanted power, he always wanted power. He alone brought the kings of other two civilizations to their knees. For humans and dragons were not the only ones to inhabit the world of Yamimakai.

The first to fall was King Dartz of Atlantis. The people of Atlantis were Merpeople. They were people who did not just live in the ocean, but lived on land too. Dartz was an honourable king. With the most beautiful golden eyes anyone had seen. Atlantis lived peaceful, till the day Atem's father King Bahamut died and Atem was declared king of all dragons. In one move Atem had attacked the great city of Atlantis with his army of dragons. Dartz pleaded with Atem to spare his people, Atem accepted the plead for mercy with one condition, Dartz must bow down to mighty power of the Dragon King and name Atem the new the lord of Atlantis! Dartz shaking at the time from the tears pouring down his face, agreed to condition and handed over to Atem 'The Orichalchos Stone' the life and blood of Atlantis. Atem took the stone and held it high for all to see, and then he let out the most bone chilling cry to which all the other dragon replied to. The noise they made was deafening.

The second to fall was King Spartacus of the Woodland Realm. The inhabitants of this realm were not human, but animals who were just as intelligent as a human. King Spartacus was a mighty beast. He was a lion, the 'King of the Jungle' as his people called him. When he heard of had happened to Atlantis, he vowed that he would rather die, than give up the throne of the jungle to some power mad dragon king! Then all too soon, the battle of the jungle began. Atem throw everything he had that Spartacus, but the Jungle King wasn't about to 'roll over and have his belly tickle' like domestic cats, do for their masters! He was a wild beast, who was gonna fight til he breathed his last breathe! But not even the Jungle King to stand up to mighty power of Atem. And one devastating move, Atem slashed his claws through the Jungle king chest. And as Spartacus lay gasping for air; Atem whispered in his ear "It looks like you're not the King of the Beasts, I am!" at that moment, Spartacus drew his last breathe and die. His people mourned for days over his passing, but were soon living in misery, with Atem as their new lord and master.

"The final civilization to fall to my awesome power will be the Humans" Atem thought. "And the prince will help me to bring Solomen to his knees. And I will finally be lord and master of Yamimakai!" Atem smirked and swooped down upon the unsuspecting group of riders.
