Hey everyone! I gotta let you all know that any author notes are very important when I write, especially with this story. If there is something up here or at the bottom please take the time to read it! I know it's a pain. Trust me. I don't normally read the notes unless it looks interesting but this is important. I'm not the type of writer to put random retardedness up here. I am a serious kind of writer.

I'm going to be using A LOT of different mythical/fictional creatures in this story, and most of them are coming from my own imagination for the appearances and such and I will be posting explanations of any creature if you don't understand so just ask me.

Many of the Yugioh characters are NOT human and don't bug me about what I chose for them to be. I have my reasons.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, D&D, or any of the creature types mentioned.

A Fairy Tale

The Meeting

The school bell for Domino High rings, and the students file out, completely unaware of what is about to transpire in the basement. Two ugly, greenish–brown creatures slink into the school through the front entrance. Their knuckles almost dragging the ground. The students pass by them and some even pass right through them, with out even knowing.

"Hey, Grub, " One of them says. "do ya' think wha' Goblin King says true? T'at magic humans don' exist no more?" The Goblin, known as Grub, looks at his partner.

He shrugs. "How do I know? All I know is, I haven' felt human look a me fer long time." The short conversation ends as they make their way down the basement steps. Not that any conversations among goblins last very long. They are not know for having long attention spans, or much intelligence.

Creatures of all kinds filled the basement of the school. Goblins, Fairy's Elves, even a troll came. A tall, slender, human looking creature stood at the front of the room. This is an Elf, in fact, to be more precise, the king of the Elves, Nazeal.

"Welcome, brethren. I apologize for calling a meeting so suddenly, and in a place such as this," He didn't even get to finish his introduction when the goblin king spoke up. "Get to point, Elf." The elf king clears his throat. Obviously annoyed. "Very well. As many of you know, there is one magic book left that has yet to be accounted for. We believe it to be in the hands of a human, but, of course, only a magical human could open and read it. Despite that fact, there have been many search parties sent out through out the world to look for the book, because if it fell into the wrong hands our entire existence could be in danger. A few days ago one of those search parties sent intelligence to my people informing us that they had located the book." At this there were many murmurs through out the gathering.

They had been looking for this book for centuries. It all started when wizards, humans who knew how to control magic, began turning against one another in attempt to gain power. The magic counsel, made up of the leaders of the various races, decided the fighting needed to come to an end, but when the wizards proved to be to powerful to stop by normal means, the counsel began finding and locking away all books on magic and the magic races hid away, in order to protect themselves. Eventually the wizards either died of old age, or killed each other, and with no magic books available, humans, with their short memories and life spans, began to forget all about magic. It was only after it was to late that the other races discovered that one book was missing.

The elf king held up his hand to silence the group. "Now listen. The book is believed to be in a human house, but my spies have determined that they have no idea what it is. We will collect the book tonight while the house sleeps." They began to make plans to steal the book, but on the outskirts of town, in a large mansion, a young man is searching his fathers study for something interesting to read and comes across a large, leather-bound, book with strange symbols carved into the front and what he doesn't know, is that the book he is holding will change the way he sees the world, forever.

-oOOo-

Well that was short. Sorry. The next chapter will be longer. Promise. Yami will also be making his first real appearance next chapter!

Note!: I have about 4 different fics just sitting on my computer, most of them only have about 2 chapters so far, but I love them all. So! Because it is hard 2 focus on all of them at once I've decided to post what I have and work on the most popular one. If you have a preference you better review, or it might just end up getting neglected for awhile. And I will be posting this on all my fics.

Reviews would be appreciated. Thanks again!
