N. GOOD NEWS AND BAD GUESTS

The guards at the gates stopped them. “Who wishes to enter?” one demanded as Lyrel nodded to her.

“Two traveling Amazons and two weary travelers.” Yugi stated as one looked surprised as both withdrew their spears and saluted her. “Blessing to you and hope no trouble arise!” she called over her shoulder as they passed into the city, ignoring the shocked feeling of their travelers.

“Hold on.” Lyrel stated as they gave a small battle cry as the horses picked up some speed. “Careful, Yugi, Cyria will kill me.”

“Quit worrying, Lyrel, I will be fine as long as we don’t go in a full out gallop.” She stated as they easily avoiding walking people in the dirt streets.

!*^^*!

Pharaoh Yami was trying in vain to ignore Princess Mina of Venus as she kept flirting with him, which turned his ignoring into a look of pure death her way. Priest Seto had narrowly escaped Princess Ami of Mercury, who turned into his shy shadow, with the true excuse of ‘I have rituals to perform and witness along with other things to look over while working with the newer generations of Priests.’ That earned him a death glare from Yami as he left quickly.

Most present noticed that Queen Serenity was trying to avoid the grinning Kourage, who seemed to be pleased with himself about the fact he was making at least one person in the palace rather paranoid or self-conscious. During this entire event Princess Serenity had been staring off into space, as if she didn’t enjoy her visit to the golden land of Khemet, her thoughts mostly on another Earth Royal. Princess Lita of Jupiter was being very blunt about her flirting and personal interest in poor Marik, who was standing to the side of the Pharaoh looking paranoid yet again. Princess Setsuna of Pluto sitting very close to Elder Shadi, who was silently praying to be forgiven for what this woman was trying to do, yet he also was wondering how close she could get before sitting on his lap and then his wife would kill him. Then there was Princess Rei of Mars who had physically latched onto poor Igoto, who was waiting for a good to strike him down for the fact that his wife could kill him for this and not get avenged by the law.

All in all, the group was paranoid or wishing for someone to save them.

!*^^*!

Lyrel glanced at the two Princes oddly as they were asking Yugi questions. “Lyrel! Go on ahead and meet them first.” Her Queen stated as Lyrel reluctantly agreed and went on ahead, hoping she knew what she was doing.

She entered the Palace and easily caught up with the sneaking duo, stopping them. “Lyrel, it seems the royals from the Moon are causing some… troubles.” Ryou stated as she crossed her arms and silently willed him on.

“You might want to go save your husband before he dies of fear and the others of the same.” Malik stated as they went past her, letting her sort out that odd sentence.

[Die of fear because of royals?] she asked herself and continued on towards the throne room.

She paused as giggling and whispering could be heard from inside the room, which made her eye twitch. No wonder it wasn’t good. It seemed like the married men in that room where worried about what their wives would believe more then anything else.

At least they were worried, but she knew they didn’t need this stress.

[Now or never.] she mused with a smirk and opened the doors, causing many to pause in surprise as she stood in her sand colored traveling cloak over her ceremonial white wrap around shirt and knee length skirt. “By Amazon law you each could be killed for making a move on any of the married men in this room, no matter what you status and laws may be.” a voice stated coldly as Lyrel entered the room with an evil gleam in her eyes, her ceremonial robes fluttering about her form. Many looked relieved about this distraction and the fact she was making references to a good many of the Princesses present.

A warning of sorts.

Igoto smiled, thanked any of the gods that had been listening to his silence pReirs, and stood up with enough force to break Rei’s grip on his arm. He approached his wife and hugged her, which caused her to lose the serious glare and return his hug with a kiss. “Gods, Lyrel, I missed you so much.” he whispered, pulling away and leading her to the empty seat between him and a twitchy Shadi.

“Igoto, dear, who is this?” Rei spat as she motioned towards the one she would call ‘peasant’ with that high and mighty tone. The tone that would give Lyrel a reason to attack her for other reasons of the sort. Luckily for the rest of the room she restrained herself.

“Princess Rei of Mars this is my wife, Lyrel of the Desert Amazons.” he stated with a smile as he gripped his wife’s hand like a lifeline, which caused the Martian Princess to glare ice daggers at the calm Amazon. “By the way, dear, where would be the others?”

That perked up the interest of the rest present in the grand room, especially Yami.

“You know them, they tend to enjoying surprising people.” she replied with a grin as footsteps echoed with muffled voices, which didn’t sound too good either.

“You self-centered, arrogant, abomination of these untainted lands!”

!*^^*!

Diamond and Sapphire followed Yugi deeper into the Palace as she came to the gardens where Ryou and Malik were lurking, in hopes of avoiding the trouble with the others. “Ryou?” Diamond asked as the white haired boy looked up and smiled.

“Diamond!” he shouted and tackled the Prince in a hug. “Kourage said you would be visiting soon.”

“Seeing you two know each other I’ll leave them in your care and go see if Lyrel made it to the gathering.” she stated as Malik stopped her before she should get any farther from them.

“Yugi, be careful. The Moon Royals are here and they were having a time attempting to put off their advances without being rude to the fact they are here to talk about an alliance.” He stated as her eyes narrowed. “Lyrel would have probably warned them, but don’t let them fool you.”

“I won’t, Malik, you take care of these two and I’ll find a reason to excuse them.” She replied as they nodded, obviously pleased with that answer as she went off on her own.

“Why are those two Amazons so familiar with this grand place?” Sapphire asked as Ryou snickered.

“Lyrel is a Priestess of Amon and Yugi is God’s Wife, the Queen.” He replied as they both looked surprised. They had met the Queen and didn’t even know it!

“The Pharaoh must be one lucky bastard.” Diamond stated with a defeated sigh. He was just starting to like her too.

Yugi was heading towards the Throne Room as a man in black armor with black hair and dark blue eyes grabbed her, and pulled her close. “How about it, my rose? Leave here and go pollinate?” he purred in her ear as she felt ill.

She easily broke his hold and backed away a few feet as he still looked at her like she was a nice, shiny object to possess. That caused the usually understanding Amazon Healer to growl and take a defensive stance, but then thought better of it. He looked like royalty and could be with the group that was visiting.

So she settled on the next option.

She spun and walked hurriedly towards the doors as he followed, spouting some poetic stuff that made her ill. That brought on her next bout of anger. “You self-centered, arrogant, abomination of these untainted lands!” she shouted as he paused long enough to let her push the doors open as she stormed into the banquet.

Yami stood up just as his enraged wife came storming in looking rather mad- well, that’s a grave understatement she was now hell bent on killing someone. Prince Endymion followed as she whirled around and slapped him hard enough to send the ‘Earth Prince’ to the ground. “If you ever approach me like a common whore, I’ll kill you!” she snarled as a few could vaguely see the crackling of her Light Powers.

“I am the Prince of Earth, you have-” he was cut off by a mean glare from Yami, who now stood by her as he held her close.

“You maybe this so-called ‘Earth Prince’ but if you ever approach my wife of sorts I will not hesitate to send you to the Shadow Realms or let her take you out.” He stated coldly as Serenity flinched. “Dinner is dismissed for those that wish to leave.” he stated in a now neutral tone as he urged the tri-color haired Amazon out the open doors as the others in their court followed. All insulted.

[That wasn’t a good start to a potential alliance,] thought Queen Serenity as she watched her half-brother glare and stalk off after the Pharaoh. [Defiantly not good.]
