Chapter 1: The spell is cast
Atem's POV
As I ran through the halls of the palace, my fear only grew. I know I had told Mahad that I would not let Bakura instill fear into me, but I realized that it could not be helped. What Bakura was planning to do, seemed to effect me in some way. I need to know what his plan is. I only hope I can stop him before It's to late….

Bakura's POV
I have done it! The artifact I have gained will be the pharaoh's down fall! He has no idea what lies in store for him! The amulet of servitude enslaves the victim when the spell is cast! And whoever holds possession of the amulet, holds the victim in complete servitude forever! The victim has no choice but to obey the commands of the one who wields the amulet! And that person will be me!
Get ready Pharaoh. I warned you that my revenge would come! Now it has!

Third person POV
As the pharaoh finally made it to Bakura's location, he felt the fear overwhelm him. But he knew that he could not falter now, not when people's lives could be at stake. He busted through the doors of the dungeons and there stood Bakura, with an evil glint in his cruel eyes. Not only did he stand there looking confidant as ever, but Atem noticed an item in his hand. Could this be the artifact he stole? Atem thought. Little did Atem know, he would face a fate worse than death.
"Bakura, what have you done?! Why have you come here!?"
"Ah, Pharaoh! So you have come! I was hoping you would. I warned you I would take my revenge on you! Now that time has come! To make this easier on you, I will give you a choice: Either come with me willingly and save your people's lives, or we can do this the hard way. Although, I do so prefer the hard way, Hehehehe. So what will it be Pharaoh? Your life or theirs?"
"I would never surrender to a monster like you, Bakura! I will defeat one way or another! Leave my people out of this! This is a battle between you and me! I will not allow my people to be hurt!"
"Oh really? Well, what if I told you I have someone you care for in my grasp, Pharaoh?!"
"Mahad?! Bakura! Let him go!"
"I think not, Pharaoh! Surrender now and I may be merciful, and let your pathetic friend go! If not, he dies!"
"Pharaoh! Do not worry about me! Save yourself and Egypt!"
"Queit!"
"Mahad…...I can't let you die."
"Yes you can, and you will! My life is not worth the hundreds, maybe even thousands of people! Save them, Atem! Their lives are more important than mine!"
"Bakura….Please let him go…..and I will take you back to my chambers and discuss surrender…..I beg you!"
"Hehehehe, glad you see it my way Pharaoh. Go magician. Tell the guards to stay away from the pharaoh's chambers. I wish to be alone with him."
"Listen to him, Mahad! Go!"
"Very well, Pharaoh. Please, stay safe my friend."
I intend to, Mahad.

The Pharaoh's Chambers
"Alright, Bakura. What do you want? Money? Power?"
"What I've always wanted: you beneath me! I warned you revenge would be mine! I have decided what your fate shall be: Eternal servitude!"
"What?! And how exactly are you going to do that?"
"By using this amulet. Yes Pharaoh, this is the artifact that I stole during our last encounter! Do you know what it does? If not, I shall tell you: It places the victim under the complete control of the wielder of the amulet. A spell is cast and the person the spell is cast on is forever bound to be the slave of anyone who wields the amulet. The victim loses their free will completely to whomever is the current master. Yes Pharaoh! I intend to make you live out your days as an obedient slave! And I almost forgot the best part! You will remain immortal and youthful! So even when I die, you will forever be bound to serve your betters!"
"What?! Never! I will never allow you to commit such an act, Bakura!"
"You no longer have a choice, Pharaoh! Or should I say former Pharaoh! I summon the power of absolute control, on one who truly is my foe, to serve those he has wronged, to be forever bound until repentance is found!"
And so, Bakura cast his cruel spell. Forever binding the Pharaoh into eternal servitude. For years, Atem served Bakura with a heavy sadness in his heart. Not only did he serve Bakura by performing hard labor, But also was forced to serve him in bed as well. Many times did Atem beg Bakura for some reprieve, But none never came. True to his word, When Bakura died, Many masters came and went and all of them were just as cruel if not more than Bakura ever was. Atem would not feel happiness again for over 5,000 years, when a boy would gain the amulet…...
