"Hey anyone know where Yugi ran off to?" Joey asked looking around the hallway.
"I don't know," Tea answered
"It is easy to get lost in the halls," Isis started.
"But I'm back and look who I found," Yugi said happily.
"Greetings everyone. Welcome back Isis," Angela said. Everyone was still as Angela entered the room. She looked around the room. No one was moving, just staring at her. "Should we get you something to eat Yugi?" Angela asked turning to Yugi.
"Sure," Yugi agreed. The pair started to move out of the room.
"Wait food!" Joey snapped out of his trace. Everyone left the room. They hurried down the hall to see black feathers going into a room. Joey ran into the room first. He bumped into a large black object. He stepped back and started to stroke the feathers.
"Joey stopped rubbing my wings. It feels wierd," Angela said.
"Sorry. So they are real," Joey said stepping around the huge wings.
"Yes," Angela reeplied.
"But how?" Joey asked.
"We were just going to talk about that," Yugi said.
"As much I am able. I have my own promises to keep," Angela said.
"That's fine.I want to know about her power," Yami said talking mainly to Yugi.
"As most would pharoah," Angela said.
"How can you see me?" Yami asked/
"My powers have increased since the seals were broken," Angela started.
"Seals?" Yami asked.
"Yes. They put in place on my body to hold a great deal of my power back. A way of extending my life," Angela answered
"By who? Who could do soemthing like that," Yugi asked.
"The high priest," Angela said.
"Who? What? I'm confused. What are you talking about?" Joey asked.
"Yugi has several questions about my past. But it seems the former pharoah is the one with most of the questions," Angela obsevered.
"What? You mean the spirit in the puzzle?" Joey asked.
"Yes," Angela replied.
"But how can you see him and the rest of us can't," Tea wondered.
"Magic. It seems in the past couple of days my magic has increased dramtically in one instant," Angela said.
"So that is what I sensed," Yami said.
"Is that what happened in the room?" Marik asked walking into the room
"Seems you woke up sooner than I thought," Angela said looking over her shoulder.
"When did you all arrive?" Marik asked.
"Only a short while ago," Isis answered.
Marik sat down close to Angela. Angela noticed that Marik did not seem surprised by her wings.
"But I do get it. Start at the begining. What are you?" Joey asked.
"Joey that's rude!" Tea shouted.
Angela smirked. "Its ok. Somebody was going to ask sooner or later. In ancient times there were stories of huge creatures as black as night and commanding in presences. Their eyes glowed like rubies. It was said that when you saw one of them pass over head death would come for a small portion of the village. If a group would fly over head," Angela started telling the story.
"A plague of death will fall upon the lands. So is the curse of the black dragon servant of Anubis," Isis said
"That story has been retold different ways through out different cultures of time. But it still ends the same way. The black dragons mean the end," Angela said.
"But what does that have to do with you?" Joey asked.
"I wasn't born into this form Joey," Angela said looking at Joey.
"I thought your eyes were green," Tea asked.
Yami mind showed him flashes of Angela. "You were a dragon of Anubis weren't you?"
"Actually I did not know anything of Anubis until I came to Egypt. But yes I used to be called the dragon of Anubis," Angela replied.
"But you look somewhat normal,"-Tristan said.
"Five thousand years ago I ws flying over the sand of Egypt with my brother when I heard a creature wish. I stopped because I had never heard a wish before. My brother told me to follow my instancts and I did. Unfortunetly the wish of the child changed me forever to the shape of a human woman and altered my life," Angela explained.
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked
"What child?" Joey asked.
"The child was a young boy who would become pharoah who wished for a female friend to be by his side. So this is what I became. I was by his side for most of his childhood and into his adult. Several problems arose though," Angela said calmly.
"What kind of problems?" Tea
"The problems arose with the pharoah's father and the boy that would become high priest. The pharoah was not the only child in the dessert that day. He thought he was by himself when we met but I sensed another's magic watching over us. It was the young priest. When he saw the transformation from black dragon to human woman he became facinated. He took kindly to me unlike the pharoah's father. He was the one who placed the first chains on my arms," Angela said.
"First? So there were more," Joey asked
"One for each limb and around my neck. Though it was the child now turned pharoah who placed these on me," Angela said rubbing her wrists.
"But why?" Tea asked.
"Children's views change as they grow into adults. The pharoah and high priest's were the two most dramatic changes. Everyon else kept the same opinion of me since the first meeting," Angela answered.
"How did they change?" Yami asked
"The pharoah saw the danger my powers could bring and used the chains as temporary seals. Though our personnel relationship did not change greatly since his childhood. The realtionship between the high priest and I had changed," Angela said.
"Why?" Joey asked.
"When he went from boyhood to manhood so did he's thinking," Angela replied.
"He cared for you. That is why he did not want you to lower your head. He wanted you as a lover," Marik interjected.
"How did you know that Marik? I have never told another perosn that and I doubt the rod showed you the past," Angela asked,
"I had a dream when I was lying next to you," Marik embarrasly answered
'Curious,' Angela thought to herself. She looked at wrist. 'I wonder what else you have done.'
"I don't get it. Why couldn't you be with the priest?" Tea asked.
"Because I was the pharoah's pet concubine. And like current men he did not like the idea of sharing his toys much," Angela
"Concubine? What's that?" Joey asked. Tea smacked her head. She leaned over to Joey and whispered in his ear. "Oh I get it now."
"That would complicate matters," Yami said.
"Not as complicated as they were about to get,"Angela said picking up on Yami's comment. "You see while the pharoah was away once I became pregnant with another. And before you ask no it was not the high priest. But I went to him for help. Mahado decided it would be best if I left for awhile. That is when I went to the high priest and gave him my children to raise. "
"So what did they look like? You, the father, what?" Joey asked,
"My children would become known as the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragons and a Red Eyes Black Dragon. They lost my feathers when I was breed with the embodiment of choas," Angela explained.
"So that's why you like Kaiba!" Joey said.
"No. It's because Kaiba is the reincartnation of the high priest. That may have been why I was first attracted to him. But I have found many similarties and difference between the two. And wiether Seto expects the knowledge and powers of his previous life are up to him. I can not and will not change his mind," Angela said. She stood up. "That is enough questions. You all should get some rest. I contacted Angel before you arrived a plane will be here in the morning to fly you back to Japan." Angela walked over to Yugi. "I can see why fate choose you Yugi. You too have many qualities of your previous life," Angela said as she looked at Yugi. She place her hands on his cheeks. She glanced at Yami. "But I wish better in this life than that one," Angela said. She kissed Yugi. Yugi blushed. Angela leaned onto his shoulder. "I leave you with this pharoah Atem." Angela started out of the room.
"Wait! We came to get to come back with us!" Joey said recoverying from shock first.
"That's right! You left Mokuba and Seto in Japan. And Mokuba was really depressed that you left without saying good bye to him," Yugi said picking up where Joey left off.
"Kaiba and I seperated a year ago. Mokuba was not informed because Kaiba did not tell him," Angela walking down the hall.
"So, you're not going to come back with us are you?" Yugi asked sadly.
"No, Yugi I am not," Angela clamly answered.
"Angela what's going on?" Isis shouted. Angela stopped in the hallway. She looked at Isis. "I know you well enough to know that you plan things far in advice. You helped me figure out how to get Kaiba to plan the Battle City Tournament. You would not leave Kaiba's side without reason," Isis explained.
"There are many problem in this world Isis whom desire a dragon not as a sexual partner but as spell compontents," Angela said. The group was disgusted by the commented. Though it seemed to disturb Marik the most. "One should not have to bary so many in such a short life."
