Prelude: Taken

"Grandpa! Who are they?!" A little boy, only five years of age, with tri-coloured hair-Red outlined with black, and yellow bangs-and the most innocent amethyst eyes, wearing a pair of brown pants and shirt that look fairly old, yelled to his grandfather, an old man with the same hair, but only gray.

"Yugi, Yugi, settle down! I'm sure it's just some visitors..." His grandfather looked up from his sweeping, only to see five men on horses wearing dark purple and black on they're armor-the colour of Cyric.

Yugi's small village did not worship Cyric the mad; they worshipped Tyr, the God of justice.

"Yugi, come inside... quickly!" His grandfather told his grandson, Yugi, after seeing these men.

"But why grandpa? I want to greet them!" Yugi replied, running off in the direction of the men.

"Yugi! No!" His grandfather tried to run after him, but ended up tripping over a rock.

Yugi ran to the men, who seemed to have not noticed him, and greeted them ever so politely. Yugi had learned from his grandfather that you should always be polite and courteous to everybody, especially strangers.

"Hello!" Yugi chirped happily, "My name is Yugi, what's yours?"

"Yugi, eh?" The leader of the men, Avian, repeated the name, finally noticing Yugi, and smirked. "I say, this must be the kid we are looking for. Get him!"

One of the men, Martel, got off their horses and casually strode over to Yugi, before grabbing him and pulling him back on to his horse.

"Okay, Martel and I will go back to lord Synar, while you go burn this puny little Tyr following village."

"Aye," was their response before heading off to do their job.

"No! No! Let me go!" Yugi protested, while crystalline tears fell down his cheeks. True, the kid was terrified! Did Avian or Martel care? No.

They strode off to the north to find Synar's castle, while behind them all you could see was fire, which would stay in Yugi's mind forever, burning brightly, burning the small village of Lofest to the ground.
