The horses plodded along slowly while pulling the inconspicuous wagon. A woman wrapped in a long brown shawl that covered her face flicked the reins to urge the horses on. She needed to get there soon before they found her. She flicked the reins one more time impatiently. The Horses' hooves slipped in the dirt as they dragged the heavy wagon up a sandy hill. Once they reached the top the woman could see villages sprawled out just beyond the hill. Between the scattered villages were war camps filled with campfires. The sun was about to sink past the horizon. She wanted to get there before dark. The horses trudged on.

The soldiers at the camps were about to break camp when the wagon approached.

"Halt!" One of bakura's soldiers yelled as a wagon being driven by horses  approached the border of their lands and Egypt.

"Who are you and what do you want!" He yelled to the traveler.

"Refuge." She said as she lowered her hood.

The soldier whipped out his sword as the Egyptian queen approached.

"Sound the alarm!" He yelled, "We have Egyptian spies trying to--"

Before he could finish his sentence the queen pressed her dagger against his neck.

"I want to speak with Bakura," she said, "I have a peace offering for him..." She gestured to an Egyptian boy tied to the chariot dressed in Crown Jewels.

"Tell Bakura I kidnapped one of the princes and that the pharaoh's magicians may be a little more agreeable with him here."

The soldier with the knife at his throat nodded and then gestured for the other to go fetch Bakura.

All across Egypt the the tension of the impending war with the barbarians was seen in the faces and the voices of the people there. There was talk of war in the streets, the home, and the workplace. Men above the age of 15 openly volunteered for the army and the pharaoh had no need for a draft. All he need do was prepare them for the battle to come. 100 armed men guarded the palace 24/7 and others manned outposts across the city watching and waiting for a strike or the lone scout they had sent out three days before. Tension was high and the air itself was silent as they waited for the next peice to be played.

"Ha! you think just because you brought me this runt," Bakura said kicking Atem in the ribs who was sitting at their feet with his arms tied behind his back, "That you can just weasel yourself into my territory and take refuge here!" A cruel smirk played across his lips. 

The queen glared at him realizing that he was more cunning than his reputation supplied, but so was she. 

she smiled and said, "I brought this as a gift! What I really came to barter with was this..." she pulled out the millenium ring and set it down gently on the table, "and any information you want to know about Egypt." 

Bakura considered this. He examined the millennium ring before putting it around his neck. he smiled that cruel smile again, "you have three weeks to proof that your information is both useful and accurate. If you do you can stay here as long as you want. If you don't... well then you're back in the desert!" 

the queen smiled, "don't worry I think you will find the information satisfying."
