~ Part 16 ~


There comes a time when you can do nothing except wait. That is the ultimate test of your soul.

The morning sun touched the floor of the temple. The priests and the pharaoh were in there morning prayer. A breeze from the outside made its way inside the room. The white robes of the figures rustled a bit but they themselves did not move. Priest Medo was uneasy. He felt as if a presence was they’re watching the session among them. The hint of Jasmine wifted through the air. Opening his eyes he saw the sorceress Allac.

The pharaoh also looked up and in seeing her standing there his face went white.

“Priests on guard!” He said in an uneven tone

They scrambled to their feet. Doubt ran through their minds. They knew nothing of her magic and if she wanted to kill them there was nothing they could do.

“Oh calm down, infidels.” She said in a cold tone, “I’ve come to help your blasted cause. To teach you the shadow powers. That is what you wanted… yes?”

There was a long pause before any spoke. Finally the pharaoh said, “To win the war, yes… What do you want in return?”
She just gave them a wicked smile, “In due time pharaoh. So shall I teach you the shadow power?”
“Yes please! This war has gone on for long enough!”
“Very well then, but I warn you, lives may be saved this day, but lost another. The energy is of choasmic proportions and can devastate the mind of thoughs unworthy. Do you still accept?”
Without hesitation the pharaoh responded “Yes!”
“But sir,” Priest Medo spoke up, “Is it truly the only way?”
“You doubt me! I am the word of the gods. Do not judge me Medo. Please sorceress, teach us…”
“As you wish.” She said in a tired sad tone

Raising her arms to the air darkness surrounded them all. It was bitter cold. Lightning danced in the air above them. One of them screamed. The Lightning sliced down without a sound. The screams of the other rose into the air as well. The sorceress stood there with her arms in the air speaking various cantations. Oblivious to the mens screams for her to stop. In a flash of white light, another figure stood to the sorceress’s left. The light broke the spell the sorceress had been weaving and the men fell to the ground lifeless.

“Your are to late this time, Essence.” The sorceress said, “I have their boundless power under my control now.”

The light faded enough to show the figure inside the light. She looked exactly like the sorceress.

“I thought I could split from you to be whole again,” The Essence said, “But I was wrong. We must be one to stop your treachery.”
“You wish to stop me?” The other mocked.
“No, I will stop you. Goodnight, creature of the dark.”

The air around the creature turned white. It hissed and fought it, but to no avail. The Essence raised her hands in front of her. “Come back to me now…” The light formed a tight ball of energy around the creature. It floated to her and merged into her body.

‘they will not last long,’ she thought to herself, ‘What is done I cannot undo. I will pray but do what I can now to save them.’ The light around her expanded and filled everything…

The priests and Pharaoh woke up back in their prayer room. But they have gold items next to them… and thus the birth of the items of shadow…

Sitting strait up in bed Yugi Moto gasped for breath. ‘That dream… that is the second time I had it.’
‘Yugi what’s wrong?’ Yami asked
‘That dream, I had it again. You and your priests all died. Then that white light… What does it mean?’
‘It may be time to do what I was born to do.’
‘Your going to leave me…’
‘If that is what the task askes than yes I would have to. It would be to dangerous for you anyway.’
‘So’
‘So, I don’t want you to get hurt.’
‘Its is time…’
‘Wh – What was that?’ yugi asked
‘I do not know… But it may have something to do with that girl from school.’
‘Which one?’
‘The one that left after only one week. We must find her.’
‘But no one has heard anything from her. The police and her uncle are still looking for her. How are we to find her?’
‘I think we should ask one of our old rivals…’

Yugi got up out of bed and got dressed. Putting on the Millenium Puzzle he left home. The sun was just rising…

“Tell me why am I still here again?” I asked Mokuba

He just laughed. It had become a joke now why I stayed. It was for company and for hiding. In which I was in desperate need of. We walked down to the dinning room for breakfast. Kaiba was not there so I enjoyed my meal for once. I heard a loud knock on the door. I raised a questioning eye to Mokuba but he only shrugged.

After a few minuets after the knock, a familiar figure stood in the doorway. Jumping up I ran over to her.

“Danielle! How are you? I’ve missed you my friend.” I gave her a big hug.

She gave me a mild look of surprise at seeing me here and returned the hug. She sat down with us and started talking. She asked many question about how I had got here and such. I just smiled and told her to eat or it would get cold. She said she had come to get Mokuba. She had promised to take him to the fair that day and asked if I wanted to come to. Had I known the true reason why she had came I would Have never said yes.
