~ The ship dock~

The young nobleman looked around for ships on the dock. There were quite a few, but none of them seemed to be going to Alexandria. He felt bad that he was going back to Alexandria without the messenger he needed but he thought that maybe he could make do without one.

He made his way to the last ship on the dock and found the captain. "Excuse me," he said politely, "Are you by any chance going to Alexandria?"

"Yes, I am," the captain replied. "Do you have money to get on?"

"Of course," the nobleman said pulling out his money bag and handing the captain a few coins. Then he stepped onto the ship and walked toward the cabin in the ship.

"Wait a second, young man!" the captain called. "One thing is required before you get onto this ship and that's your name. I am Captain Yugi Motou."

"Since it is required, I am Yami," the nobleman said. "A scribe's apprentice," he then lied. No one was to know that he was a nobleman unless he wanted them to know it.

"Welcome on to the Silver Beetle then, Yami," Captain Yugi said. "The only people on here are me and my crew and you, so it might get a little lonely at times."

"That's perfect," Yami said. "I need private times quite often." Yami then left for the cabin and had some time alone.

Meanwhile, Lani was making her way towards the dock. She asked captain after captain if they were going to Alexandria. None answered `yes' to that question. She finally came across the Silver Beetle and prayed to herself that this ship was going to Alexandria.

She made her way onto the platform of the ship and saw the captain on the ship. "Captain, sir, are you going to Alexandria?"

"Yes I am, miss," Captain Yugi said. He didn't think she could get on though because she had rags on and was just about one of the skinniest girls he had seen in his life. "I only let someone onto my ship though if they've got the money."

"I've got money!" Lani said defiantly. She took out some of the money that the nobleman in the cloak had given to her and presented it to Captain Yugi. "See," she said.

"Yes, I see," Captain Yugi was almost positive then that she had stolen that money. "What's your name?" he asked, taking the money from Lani.

"Lani. What may I ask is your name?"

"Just call me Yugi," Captain Yugi said. "Welcome aboard the Silver Beetle! I hope you enjoy your journey to Alexandria. Go on in the cabin and get yourself a bed."

Lani went over to the cabin and opened the door. She then went over to the first bed she saw and fell asleep quickly. She had had a very long and tiring day. She was also worried about what her family was thinking. She knew that they would miss her terribly and would be very, very worried.
