Once, very long ago, there was a beautiful Queen. She was quite young, but she was married to the King who ruled over a pretty little Kingdom filled with forests, meadows, villages, towns and which was most famous for it's variety of flowers.

The Queen was called Ran, she had long hair that was brown-red with the tips a dark pink-amethyst, her eyes were a blue grey and her skin was pale with cheeks that could go as red as tomatoes when she got embarrassed. She was very beautiful, but she wasn't vain, in fact she was the most modest person anyone could meet.

No one knew this better than her lady in waiting Mai. Mai had lavender eyes and long, thick blond hair with pale skin. The Queen was very fond of wishes, though they seldom came true.

But on this day she made a wish that would change the Kingdom.

Because, for all her beauty and kindness she had two unfortunate problems that had been with her since birth, one was that she had a weak heart and this stopped her from doing anything strenuous. But the second caused her the most heartache, she couldn't conceive children very well, or possibly at all. She worried that her beloved husband would hate her for this, but he loved her just the same and was very supportive through her times of self disappointment.

But on this day in springtime, Queen Ran and her lady in waiting Mai were enjoying a lovely warm day in the Palace gardens, they were chatting like schoolgirls while sewing some cloth under a cherry tree to pass the time.

Ran was laughing at a joke Mai had made and was careless with her needle. "Ouch!" she gasped as the sharp point pricked her index finger. Three drops of blood fell onto the petals that carpeted the ground.

Mai gasped "Majesty! Are you alright?" she reached to her dress and ripped off a little lace, her long lacy dress so full of fluttering add-on's that one missing piece wasn't noticed.

Ran let Mai bandage her finger "Thank you Mai, gods above that was careless of me"

Mai laughed "You should be more careful My Queen, come, let's head inside, that ridicules meeting has to be over with by now"

Ran nodded and reached down to pick up her embroidery when she saw the three drops of blood on the white petals. Ran paused and looked carefully. The dark wood root of the cherry tree looked like black hair, the petals formed the skin of a face, and the three drops of blood made up the little lips. Ran sat back on the bench and sighed.

Mai looked back and saw that the young Queen hadn't followed her "Majesty?" she asked, "Is anything wrong?" Ran kept staring forlornly at the image of a child's face, she took off her two earrings of amethyst jewels and placed them as eyes in the imaginary face. Mai frowned in confusion "Majesty? Please stop playing games, is something the matter?"

Ran looked up at Mai and smiled sadly "Wouldn't it be wonderful, Mai? To have a child with hair like ebony, eyes like amethysts, lips like the blood-red rose and skin like cherry blossoms… like snow" she looked back at her image and felt a longing for such a child.

Mai sat next to her and saw the image her Queen saw "Oh, my lady, such a child would be more beautiful than the flowers" she said proudly.

Ran nodded "Yes… I wish I could have a child like that" she clasped her hands and wished, she wished so hard that the stars in the daytime sky felt it. She wished for it so hard that it came true.


King Charlie, a handsome and kind young King with long blond hair and blue eyes, he had slightly tanned skin but was mostly pale. He paced anxiously outside the healers chambers, Mai had left a while ago, with permission, so that she could go and marry a young man called Valon, but she had sent lots of letters for every scrap of news about her beloved Queen and her child.

Charlie looked up as the screaming stopped, a baby's cries soon filled the air. A young healer came out with a wriggling bundle, but she had a sad face. "My King, you have a son" she said softly "But, I'm very sorry, your Highness, Queen Ran didn't make it" she lowered her head "Her heart wasn't strong enough, it was a miracle that the child survived"

Charlie closed his eyes and a few tears escaped his eyes, he looked up after a short minuet and then held his arms out for his son, the result of their love "Did she request a name?" he asked as he picked up the bundle.

The healer nodded "Yugi" she said simply.

Charlie stared down at the baby angel in his arms, the baby was beautiful. He had skin like cherry blossoms, it glowed with health, his hair was mainly ebony with the tips a dark pink-amethyst like his Mother's, but he had golden bangs growing at the edge of his hairline. His lips were very pink, they would darken to red as he got older, he was as small as a doll, tiny fists, tiny chubby arms, little round face with cheeks of baby fat, the cheeks were lightly pink and wet as he was crying.

Charlie smiled at him and rocked his tiny body gently, his son was the very essence of his wife's wish "Yugi… your perfect" he sighed before kissing his forehead. Yugi jumped a little then his large eyes, they took up most of his face, opened and looked up at the man holding him.

Both Charlie and the healer gasped, the eyes were amethyst jewels, so beautiful and so pure, sparkling with light. The boy looked up at his Father with an intense gaze before cooing, like he was greeting him. Charlie smiled again and cuddled the baby angel carefully "Yugi, my little boy" he sighed out. Yugi cooed again.


Two years later King Charlie took his two year old son to the village healer, it was a tradition to take all royal children to see one who could foretell their futures, they never told specifics as the future could always change, but they did tell of a few things to make their lives better.

Yugi was a darling little boy, very pretty with large curious eyes, delicate pale skin and a gentle nature. He clung to his Father's arm and shyly smiled or waved at those who were staring before blushing pink and hiding his face in his Dad's arm.

The village girls were all squealing at how cute he was and the boys were also having their own 'manly-he-is-cute' episodes. Yugi was in a little pair of blue pants with a white short sleeved shirt. He looked up at his Dad and pulled on his sleeved, a slight crease in his forehead as he tried to voice his confusion with his eyes.

Charlie knew his son was anxious and confused in a strange new place, he sighed and scooped up the tiny child, Yugi at once fisted the cloth of his robes in his tiny grip and whimpered slightly.

Charlie kissed his forehead "Don't worry, just one more minuet and we'll be there, you'll like Isis, she's very kind"

Yugi nodded slightly before hiding his face in Charlie's robes again. The seer's house was a modest little caravan with some humble flower boxes under small windows, the entire thing was built from wood with little pink and red beams painted on. A friendly grey pony was eating grass right next to it.

Charlie knocked gently. "Come in, my King and young Prince, I was expecting you" a cool voice said from inside the house.

Charlie let himself in and the guards stood outside but were relaxed as Isis would foresee any bad events.

Inside was like a herbalists place, herbs hung from the walls and ceilings, dried flowers dotted the walls with tiny portraits of places and people. There was a strange aura in the house, like everything was still and that there was nothing that could disturb you once you were inside it.

Isis sat on the single bed at the end of the carriage "Welcome Prince and King, I know your journey was well" she smiled. No one needed to tell her many things, she knew most important stuff before it happened.

King Charlie laughed heartily "It's good to see you Isis, how have you been? You look well"

The woman had crystal clear blue eyes, ones that saw beyond and further, smooth skin the colour of coffee. Her frame was slender and yet womanly, her clothes being a simple headdress with a white shirt and skirt designed to give the impression of a dress. Isis smiled "Yes, my King, my time has been very pleasant. Please take a seat" she gestured to the armchair and little stool set out for them.

Charlie placed Yugi on the seat and sat down himself, holding onto the two year olds' hand. Yugi was staring at everything around him, but he hadn't said a word as of yet, he was a very shy child by nature, but he seemed very relaxed here. Isis had a little tray on her bed, she picked up a steaming cup and handed it to the King "Soothing tea is good for the weary" she said cryptically.

Charlie took it gratefully "But I am not tired" he protested as he took a sip.

Isis nodded "In body, true. In soul and heart, you are weary, heart less so because of the young one. I find that when missing someone, a cure is to take a drink of soothing tea and remember something nice about them" she picked up a smaller cup of honeyed water and handed it to Yugi "Blow, young one" she advised, chuckling as he clumsily did.

Charlie nodded seriously "You know about dear Ran then"

Isis nodded "I heard from the neighbouring town at the time, I offer my sympathy, and I apologise for not appearing at her funeral, I hope you understand that others needed my help more than one who had passed"

Charlie sighed "I understand"

Isis drank her tea before smiling at Yugi "Tell me your name young one" she both asked and commanded.

Yugi looked up at the woman shyly and his shoulders began to climb up to rest by his head, he was shy. "Yugi…" he mumbled, his voice like a little bell.

Isis smiled "Yugi… well, Prince Yugi, would you like to come and sit here?" he patted the bed next to her. "It's more comfortable than that stool, and I have a gift for you" Yugi's eyes lit up at the mention of a present, he got up and crawled up onto the bed beside the seer. Isis pulled out a golden box filled with broken pieces. "Do you know what this is?" she asked him.

Yugi shook his head but had wide eyes "It's a puzzle, you can see it, but you can't" she explained "Put it together and you'll know what your treasure really is" Yugi took it with wide eyes.

"Th-Thank you" he said with shining honesty, he leaned up and kissed the seer on the cheek, surprising her pleasantly with the gesture, before sitting back and trying a few things out.

Isis touched her cheek and smiled warmly "What a sweetie" she chuckled.

Charlie smiled "He is always like this whenever someone gives him something, so grateful. You're his friend for life now, anyone who gets a kiss off of him is wrapped around his little finger" the proud Father explained while watching Yugi putting pieces together with an adorable pout, he loved games and puzzles. Of course Isis already knew that.

Isis nodded "Right, let's get down to business" she folded her hands together but before she started looking into Yugi's future she opened her eyes and said something every important. "My King, there are some things you must know before I tell you what I can see. One is that I cannot see everything, I'm a seer but some things are not meant to be seen until they come to pass" the King nodded. Isis spoke again "The second thing, is not every future is what you would like, many have tried to change their children's fate, and by doing that you may only encourage what you wish to avoid, or change the fate to a tragic end"

"But" Isis raised a hand "Saying that, the future isn't set in stone and Yugi may very well change his own path"

Charlie nodded and Isis began to see into the future, for a long time she just meditated, but then she gasped "I see… the young prince will fall in love with another prince, they are inseparable, it will be love at first sight, they will be happy together" she smiled as she spoke. But then her eyebrows lowered in a frown "But… closer to the present, I can see that Yugi will soon be without both parents…" Charlie paled at her words.

Isis raised both hands to her temple "Something hangs over his future, blocking it from my eyes, I cannot see past his eighteenth year… he is not dead, some tragedy hangs over him…"

Isis slowly woke up from her trance and looked up at the worried King. Charlie was gripping the arms of his chair very tightly "I am going to die soon?" he asked tensely.

Isis nodded sadly "It is a solid part of the future, I think that some decision in the very near future will assure this"

Charlie sighed "Oh gods… Yugi will be all alone" the young prince was just happily playing with his present, not knowing of his future at all.

Isis nodded "But, begging your pardon, that is not the event that concerns me the most, his future is dark past his eighteenth, I can see that he will fall in love and be happy for a while, but that darkness… I'm troubled" she summed up shortly.

Charlie nodded "That concerns me too, but… is there any happiness through those events?"

Isis closed her eyes before nodding "Yes, love will make him so happy that the stars will feel it" she smiled "I think that there is a big chance that he'll be happy once past those events" she opened her eyes and looked up "You had better head home, it's not good to be caught in the rain" she lectured.

Charlie looked outside, but only saw sunshine, but he knew better than to criticise as Isis was almost guaranteed to be right about the weather. The storm that raged later was just ominous. Charlie stared out of the window and sighed very sadly, he was worried for Yugi. Yugi would soon be without him and he wanted to make sure that Yugi would be well cared for. He got up and looked at the portrait of his former wife "Dearest, please understand that my heart belongs to you, but this is for Yugi. He'll need a mother for when I'm gone" he smiled at her.

It's for the best.


A week later King Charlie announced that he was looking for another wife. Many noble women and girls appeared before him and begged to be the royal bride. Charlie was very avoidant with those types of women, Yugi was very confused as to why so many new people were around and spent most of the time sitting on his little throne, out of the way, playing with the puzzle he was given.

Just over a month later Charlie finally chose a woman to be his bride. She was called Vivian Wong, she was a noblewoman from China, she was very beautiful, her beautify being compared to the moon and to crystalline ice. She hard long dark hair that she always washed with silver laced shampoo, her skin she spent about an hour each day beautifying and her nails and lashes were always perfect, as were her painted lips.

Her eyes were brown and they sparkled as she used eye drops to make them look better and to improve her vision, she plucked her eyebrows, used makeup, dressed in the latest and best made clothes, she used very tip in the book to make her beauty legendary.

Yugi was very shy of her, not really warming up to her no matter how nice she was, she always gave him a little present every time she saw him, not always fancy ones, nice ones like a miniature panda bear toy from her homeland. Yugi took it and cuddled it, thinking it was cute, and he thanked her with perfect manners, yet he was still painfully reluctant to be around the woman.

Charlie chose this woman to be his second wife, and carer for Yugi when he died. He asked her to look after Yugi and she promised.

Yugi presented an engagement present on the courts behalf, it was a large ornate mirror that was said to be magical and answer any question. Vivian stood before it, very sceptical, and then asked it "Magic mirror, what's for lunch today?"

The surface shimmered and a face like a fiery mask appeared and answered her "The best dish in the Palace, a tribute to your homeland, Chinese noodles with a choice of other morsels"

Vivian was delighted when the mirror was exactly correct! Down to the morsels that were served alongside. As soon as everyone was gone she tip toed up to the mirror and whispered "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of the all?"

The mask appeared again and the voice whispered back "My Queen, you are most truly fair, from your cherry lips to your night black hair" Vivian smirked and moved on as if nothing had happened.

Charlie married her and at first everything was well, Yugi was still very distant and clung to Charlie a lot when he wasn't working on his puzzle. Charlie tried to help him with it but Yugi seemed to be making more progress on his own. Charlie laughed "You must show it to me once it's finished" he gently ran a hand through Yugi's star shaped hair.

Yugi smiled "Yes Papa" he agreed before picking up the next piece.

Yet one Month later things changed for the worse.

Vivian's beauty was a mask for her true evil face, she was very cruel and only cared about beauty and power.

As soon as her new husband was asleep and his guard was down, the month anniversary they had been married she took out a knife and killed him. She staged it to look like an assassination, claiming that a hysterical woman who wanted to be the royal bride came in and killed him.

She was believed.

Yugi cried, completely heartbroken that his beloved Father had died. The entire kingdom mourned and it was like the sun just couldn't shine the same without him.

The King's council, once the funeral had been completed, went on to look at possible heirs to the throne. Unfortunately there was only Yugi, and he was only three years old, too young to rule.

Vivian, still in her mourning robes, came forwards with a pretty and sympathetic smile. She offered to stand as the Queen until Yugi was ready, old and able enough to rule, which in her mind was never. The council were bewitched by her beauty and kind words so agreed to this.

Yugi was the only one who saw her true face that day and he was very afraid of her, his happy days with his Father were gone and his step Mother was Queen.

Isis had been right.


Yugi grew up a lovely and beautiful young teen, he grew in natural beauty and also in inner beauty, he was so kind and forgiving, it was like he was an angel who lost his way to heaven and decided to stay on earth.

Many were interested in him, but Yugi didn't want someone who was interested in only his looks and position, he wanted true love.

But his life wasn't perfect, Vivian was rather dominating as Queen. Vivian often accused the beautiful youth of bad manners and bad behaviour and in punishment often made him work like a servant or slave in his own Palace until she had 'forgiven' him for his crime or misdeed.

But in truth Vivian was a little worried, she worried that her stepson would grow to be more beautiful than she, she made him work to try and hide his growing beauty.

Every day she consulted her magic mirror, the only memento of her late husband that she kept, she would step before it inside her secret chamber, just off of her bedroom, and she'd twirl and smile and giggle before it. The room was a hall of mirrors and her beauty was shown to her from every angle, once she had finished her foolish gazing she's step before the one mirror that didn't reflect her and asked it.

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"

The mirror's face appeared, a mask of fire who knew all but the future. "My Queen, you are most truly fair, from your cherry lips to your night black hair"

Vivian would squeal in delight and go back to her foolish admiring. As long as the mirror declared Vivian the fairest of them all Yugi was safe. And for fifteen years the answer remained the same. Until…
