Renegade Kingdom Ch. II: The Shadow by Vyzre (aka CrossH.)

--*************************************************--

Ancient Egypt

The pharaoh sat at the head of the table tired of these morons so called councilors. They did nothing and if even thought of anything it was beyond stupid. And it sure did not help with the robbing of his father's tomb only three days earlier.

"We need more slaves! The labors of the kingdom are increases, and the peasants need to bend their backs more!!" exclaimed one of the men at the table to a short male with tri-color hair.

"We do not need any more slavery Akundin!! The people of Egypt are at peace right now even with the Felines."

"I agree, no more slavery is needed as of now," said as the pharaoh stood up.

"Meeting dismissed."

The pharaoh and the short male left the audience room.

"They are becoming more stubborn. What should we do?"

"Let them think what they want, they will regret it later if they are rash. The Felines and Demoneans are not attacking us; the citizens are safe. The slavery, however, is getting worse," replied the pharaoh.

The short male was silent.

"Yami, do you have this feeling that things are going to change? Do you think it will be for the better or the worst?"

"Yes, I do have that feeling, but for the better or the worse I do not know Yugi."

"I will see you at dust; I need some time alone. If anyone asks tell them I'm out riding."

Yami left for his royal chambers to retrieve a few things before going out of the palace. He sometimes wonder of the outside world. There were terrors but there were also pleasures as well. He never experienced those pleasures that were known to child or to any traveler. He sighed he needed another companion in this lonely kingdom besides his brother Yugi.

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Stepping into the stables, he walked to the third stall. He found his beloved horse(1), Anubis. A dear friend of his had given him this horse before moving elsewhere. The horse's fur coat was a gleaming pitch black except for the two patches of white on its chest. Its eyes were a deep red like its owner's. The horse was in perfect condition; it was the fastest horse in the land and loved to challenge others at anything.

"Come on, Anubis."

The horse walked quickly over to the stall's door ready for the mornings ride. The black horse shook its head at its master and neighed gently as Yami petted him. Pulling on the leather like material and opening the stall, Yami lead the horse outside into the desert sands.

Yami climbed up the side of the horse before whispering into Anubis's ear ," Ride to the north."

Anubis immediately took off at the instructions.

Yami didn't tell Yugi he wouldn't be back for a while. He shouldn't at least be back until three days. He was planning to check the borders of the Inu Kingdom something told him there was something waiting for him.

"Pharaoh Yami, wait!" a shout from behind him called. `Damn and I was not even completely out of the kingdom,' Yami cursed in his head just his luck. He pulled on Anubis's reins and steered his horse towards the voice.

"May I ask where you are going?" asked Dart one of his trusted top bodyguards.

"I will be back in three days, there is no need to worry were I am going," I replied.

"Would you like me to accompany you, Pharaoh?"

"No, I will be fine. Just tell Yugi he is in charge until I get back, and Dart, protect him for me. I'll be back at least by the third day if not by then wait three more days before searching for me. You are dismissed, Dart."

Yami rode off into the morning light. He didn't want anyone to join him on his journey he was tired of that cage called a palace and wanted to get away from his problems for the moment. Surely Yugi would take care of things while he was gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------

"What!?!"

"W-well, you s-see the P-Pharaoh said not to look for h-him until s-six days a-after he left," stuttered Leo a messenger from Dart. One thing all the servants knew was not make Yugi mad unless you did not fear his fury. And right now he was pissed.

"So he just left! Bring me Dart immediately!"

"Yes, L-Lord Yugi."

"That brother of mine is one day going to kill me from worry."

---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

There was a loud screech from the sky as he arrived at the border of the forest after a rest at an oasis a mile off. The cry was sounded again with urgent finding and grief. I looked up as a shadow past me and caught a glimpse of silver as what looked to be a dragon flew by. `A dragon…?' Urging for Anubis to go faster, we eventually lost sight of the shadowed figure. Pulling on Anubis's reigns softly, he traveled in a slight trot into the mysterious forest. The forest was known for its tricks on outsiders and multiple mazes making it hard for anyone to find their way out.

Suddenly, as we entered a small clearing, Anubis bucked and stood on his hind legs thrashing out his front hooves. Tightening my grip on the reins, I pulled them down roughly getting Anubis to come to his senses. Truly, Anubis was an intelligent horse and did not get frighten easily. Steering him to the left, I saw what spooked him……

TBC…..…..?

(1)- I know horses necessarily can't ride long distances without water in a desert, but in this story they can (It's alternate universe anyways. --;). Let's just say they adjusted to the environment…

Sorry, I know the first chapter was only details and a little of the story line. But since I already had most of this typed out, I went ahead and posted it. I don't know if I will continue this though. It seems like a lot of people are not interested and I haven't gotten any feedback. And I strive for reviews when I am doing a story to help me to continue since school takes up most of my precious life. So if no reviews, I doubt I will continue…

--************************************************************--

Vyzre: Hope this chapter is better!! Tell me what you guys think, should I continue?

Lynch: I don't think so.

Vyzre: I am starting to agree. Seems no one likes it.

Lynch: ….

Vyzre: I have an idea!! Does any one know what lynch means without cheating and grabbing a dictionary? Even though I can't tell if you did grab a dictionary…

Lynch: If you get it right she'll give you an imaginary cookie!!

Vyzre: Well, folks review please so I know at least someone out there likes it!!
