Chapter 14
Standing on the balcony of his palace, King Dartz stared out over the once beautiful city that he and his people called home. Atlantis was a dead city, full of ruined buildings and zombies. "How I long to swim in the sea" Dartz sighed, as looked out to the sea. "Sire! The Dragon King is approaching the city!" shouted a young palace guard. "What does the creature want?" Dartz growled as he went to meet Atem.
"This does look like Atlantis?" Yugi said as he climbed down from Atem's back "Atlantis is supposed to be the most beautiful city in the world. The city sits at the bottom of the ocean, and once every 100 years it rises to the surface….but it looks like its….dead" Yugi whispered the last word as he looked around the once great city of the Merpeople. "It wouldn't look like this if the life and blood was not taken from here young one." Said a voice, which made poor Yugi jump out of his skin and hide behind Atem. "Dartz, it has been a long time" Atem said as he bowed his head in address to once great King Dartz.
"Why are you here, Beast? Have you not caused my people enough pain and suffering? For years I have watched my city die. For years I have longed to swim in the ocean. But you….you have killed this city and destroyed the lives of my people." Dartz growled as walked over to Atem "I have come here to return this" Atem said as handed over The Orichalchos Stone to Dartz "I release Atlantis and its people from my control. I will not ask for forgiveness" Atem looked down at the ground, his heart heavy with the knowledge of what he had done to the Merpeople. "What has brought about this change in you, Atem?" Dartz asked as he placed the stone around his neck. "My Little One changed me" Atem smiled, as Yugi slowly came out of hiding "What is your name, young man?" Dartz asked as approached Yugi "My name is Yugi, your highness" Yugi replied as he bowed to the King of the Merpeople "Then you shall be forever know to my people as 'Yugi Dragonsbane'" Dartz said
"We should be going now Little One" Atem said as he helped Yugi onto his back. "Where are we going now Atem?" Yugi asked as Atem took flight. "We're going to realm of the Woodlanders" Atem said as he looked back to see Atlantis returning the ocean floor. "The Woodlanders, wow! I can't wait" Yugi said with a smile on his face. Atem smiled at Yugi's excitement 'I'm glad you're happy Aibou…when you're happy, I am happy…but…if you had the choice…to go home or to stay with me forever…you wouldn't chose me…I wouldn't chose me' Atem thought sadly, he knew now more than ever….he loved Yugi and he wanted to be with his Little One forever, but there was no way, Yugi would ever love him back.
"WOW! THAT FOREST IS HUGE!" Yugi shouted as he stared in awe at the forest ahead of them. "That is the realm of the Woodlanders, Ai- I mean Little One" Atem cursed himself for nearly letting the word 'Aibou' slip out 'WHAT WAS I THINKING! Yugi wouldn't want to be my Aibou! He already knows what the word means! Stupid, stupid, STUPID Atem!' Little did Atem know, Yugi was blushing like a tomato 'He…he almost called me Aibou…could Atem really like me? I mean I know I love him…but could I really be lucky, in finding someone who loves me for who I am? I would honoured to be called his eternal mate'
