CHAPTER FIVE: FATE

10 YEARS LATER...

"You roamed the desert for 10 years?" Shimon asked, captivated by Seto's story.

Seto nodded, taking another drink as he sat at the bar, talking to a hooded figure who seemed mesmerized by his story. He couldn't even remember how their conversation had started, only that Seto had told the man all about his past, from the destruction of his village to living in this very town, situated right outside the capital.

"How did you survive though? You were just a boy when your family was killed."

Seto shrugged, "You learn to survive."

"Amazing." He smiled.

They were pulled from the conversation by a loud crash from the other side of the bar.

"THIEF!" A man yelled, pointing to a man who was quickly weaving between onlookers towards the door, his long coat whipping behind him.

Seto didn't hesitate, jumping out of his seat, he ran after the man, shoving spectators out his way. The man was moving quickly, Seto leaping after him just before he made it out the door. He grabbed hold of his jacket, roughly shoving him around. The man snarled, looking him in the face.

Seto gasped, his grip lessening. The thief looked at him with wide eyes before rushing past him, disappearing into the night.

Seto stumbled backwards, his hand still where he had once held the thief.

"That was quiet the deed, Seto." The stranger from before said, slapping his back.

Seto remained speechless, vaguely shaking his head. "Yes." he muttered.

“Seto, I want you to come to the palace tomorrow at noon. I think you’re just what we’re looking for.” The man grinned, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

“Wh-what?” Seto asked, turning to the man.

“Until tomorrow.” He smiled, shaking Seto’s hand before descending into the night.

Seto watched him as his figure slowly vanished into the darkness. He looked down at his hand, opening up the paper that had been placed there.

Only he who can live up to the Declaration of Innocence can become the servant of the God

Seto held onto the paper tightly, looking out into the night. He stepped out of the bar, a warm breeze sweeping down the street. He sighed, thinking about the thief who had escaped.

His mind reeled with a thousand questions as he started down the street, moving past the darkened alleys.

While he walked, a figure stepped out of the shadow, half his face still hidden in darkness. He observed Seto as he walked down the street, watching him carefully.

“Is it really you?” he spoke, his voice cracking slightly.

Seto stopped, turning to the man.

Bakura.
