January 23rd 1995, Atem Sennen sits on his bed in his bedroom, listening to his mother read him a bedtime story, he is a 6 year old boy with crimson coloured eyes and tri-coloured hair. They were several odd characteristics, but the most unusual characteristic would be the young child's legs. Both of the boy's legs were twisted inwards with his knees almost touching each other, it was a little painful for the boy if he didn't take any medicine to help with the pain.

"Mommy," he asked as his mother stopped reading to face him.

"What is it Atem?" She asked her young son.

"Mommy, am I a freak?" He asked in a quiet voice, but loud enough for his mother to hear him. His mother Amunet was shocked to hear her only child ask her that. It was a sensitive topic to talk about in the Sennen house hold and everybody was careful of what they said, but never has she been asked something like that.

"Why would you ask something like that Atem? You're not a freak; you're just a special boy, that's all." She explained, still unsure why he asked if he was.

"Because the teachers at school say I am, and other kids say I am, Seto, Marik and Bakura are my only friends." He explained as the young boy burst in to tears, all of the insults finally getting to him. Amunet did the only thing a mother could do, gather her child in her arms and give him a hug until he calms down.

The two stayed like that for a while, Atem had cried himself to sleep and there was nothing else that Amunet could do about it. As she was tucking her son in, she heard the bedroom door open, she turned around to see her husband Aknamkanon at the door way. He smiled sadly at his wife, he had heard every bit of the talk that she had with their son and he was just as much upset.

"Come on Amunet, let's go to bed," he said, she just nodded her head and followed him out, closing the door behind her.

"I'm going to have a word with that school, they're supposed to help him, not insult him like that." Amunet said as she lay down in bed, Aknamkanon lay down beside her. He himself, was thinking about what had happened.

"Don't worry about love, I'll go to the headmaster tomorrow when I take him to school, now get some sleep." He explained as the whole Sennen household let sleep overtake them for the night.
