Wow! Has it really been a year since I put up dark blood on to the site! Man! I need to get busy on that story before I lose my readers!
Anyway, welcome to Wings bounded in shadows. This is a really weird dream I had a few nights ago and I thought it would be interesting to see where a written version would go. Might have a lemon in it, don't know yet but I hope you enjoy this first chapter!
NO, I DON'T OWN YUGIOH! WISH I DID BUT I OWN ONLY THE STORY AND MY CHARATER SPUTRUA!
Chapter 1- the eyes of my dream
The scent of sea mist hits my nose, causing me to inhale deeply. Warm, smooth sand cradle my back gently as I start to open my eyes. A full, silver craterless moon greets me in a wreath of shining, glowing stars which twinkle down at me in greeting. I get myself prop up on my elbows and I look around the now familiar surroundings. A still, midnight black sea mirrors the sky, mimicking that there is two skies instead of one, sits to my left, while looming, proud chalk white cliffs stands firmly to my right. I get to my feet and brush the soft, silver sand off my sleeping kilt, which is the only thing I am wearing at the moment.
A giggle sounds to my left, ringing out from its producer like a chorus of bells and waves on a calm beach. I look over to the mirror sea to see to star silver eyes, looking at me in great happiness. I smile in greeting at the eyes like I would to a old, close friend. I get another giggle out of them, which makes me smile wider. I love that little giggle, a sign that the behold of those elusive eyes are happy, which make my happy in return. Those eyes would taunt me with information of their beholder, making me insane as I sought them out to find out who own such unique and beautiful eyes.
"Atem…" the voice of the eyes purrs out, capturing my attention from my wandering thoughts. "In time, you will know all about me and my history. But for know, how about we continue our game from where we left off?" the voice coos, surprising me yet again that the eyes knows my thoughts. I only sigh in defeat and ready myself for the game we have played for two years straight.
"You have said I would learn about you for two years now, why do you hid yourself in a shroud of mystery when you know you basically have me around your little finger?" I ask the girl, which is all I know about the person in the sea. The bright, happy shine in those silver eyes dull to a gray and a blistering wind blows harshly across the sea, making it to ripple for the first time and me to shiver. I look around as there is changes in the surroundings. The cliffs behind me start to crake and collapse upon themselves, the sea roars to life as in turns to blood red. The stars harshly blow out from the night sky, as the moon falls to pieces, leaving behind a broken half version of itself. I stumble back at the sky turn red and the moon black. The sand turn to ash as black rose petals and soot falls down across the ruin landscape. I land on my knees as I look around at the once peaceful place, my eyes shock of the events that have just happen. My sight lands back on my eyes of my dreams, seeing them full of pain and sadness.
"I-I am sorry that I cause this. I shouldn't have ask." I stutter out in grief. The eyes on move back and forth before a huge wave crash out of the sea, spraying me in blood red water. I close my eyes from a moment so I could wipe my face clean.
"Atem, look upon me and see why I have hidden myself to the darkness." the girl says sadly. I slowly wipe my face clean and look up at the girl who have escape my sight for two years, and I gasp in shock and in anger.
The girl before me is bone skinny with a tatter dress that is barely hanging onto the thin frame. Her dull gray hair is matted and tangle, looking like a rat's nest on her narrow face. Her bone white skin shine sickly under the light of this hideous place. Her wrists and ankles are bounded to each other with thick black chains and shackles, which moans in warning when she tries to move them. But the most heartbreaking sight is her sick looking, tatter white wings that are weight down with chains and small balls. Her wings are missing so many feathers, it would be a blessing if the girl could fly with them.
The thought of her flying gracefully in the sky, happy and healthy fills me with determination and I rise to my feet. She backs away from me in fear but I grab her shoulder and throw my strong arms around her, feeling the weight of all those chains and balls on my chest. A gasp of surprise came from my little angle as I stroke the ruin wing with kindness, before she leans in to me. I touch one of the chains and hold it in my hand, feeling it squirm angrily at my touch.
"My little angel, I will find you and free you from your bounds. I will make sure you will fly again with nothing but happiness in your heart instead of this pain and hurt." I whisper in her ear as I tighten the grip on the chain. She gets her arms over my head and settles them around my neck. Then she collapse on the spot, making me take up the full weight of her bounds. I struggle to stay on my feet before I just let us fall to the ground, knowing I would not be able to stay up that long. I kneel on my feet as the angel clings on to me, her feet tuck under her in weakness and in defeat. I hold on to her lower back with one hand and stroke her wing under all the chains with the other as she starts to sob in my shoulder.
"Atem, you must go to the deepest pit of the shadow realm to find me. I am too far gone in the shadows for you to reach me. Please, don't put yourself in danger when I am finally being happy just being with someone I can talk too. I will start to worry if you come after me. Which will give that shadows all the more reason to torture me." She pleas as she pulls away from my shoulder and look at me with pain stricken eyes. I only nuzzle her forehead.
"MY angel deserves to be free and to live in the light of the sun. To fly and be happy because she is free, not because she can finally be able to talk to someone when the shadows whim it to be." I answer her. She is taken aback be the force behind "my" before she starts to sob again.
"Then you will need this. It will protect you from the shadows harsh treatment as well as protection of what's lurking in them. But don't be long, this relic have protected me from the worse of the shadows, but without it, I am venerable." She moans before I felt something around my neck. I look down to see a silver star with in a full moon made of moonstone hang on a thin silver chain. I look up at her again as I feel my body start to wake in the real world.
"I will come for you and punish whoever put you in the shadows. Mark my words…" I whisper before darkness rips me away from the arms of the crying angel.
"Atem! Time to get up!" Mana squeals as she throws open the curtains to my balcony, showering me in sunlight. I groan as I roll over and put a pillow over my head, trying to block out the harsh light.
"5 more minuets!" I groan as I feel Mana start to crawl to me in the middle of my huge bed.
"Now, now, Temy. Don't start acting like Yugi now. You need to get up. Because is either you get up yourself or I will get Mahado and we will dunk you in cold bath." She warns when she reach me. I snap my open at that.
"I'm up! I'm up!" I yell out as I blast off my bed. Landing on my feet and getting a outfit out before the sheets even settle back down on the bed. I dash into my bathroom to change before Mana can keep her promise on the dip in the cold bath.
"Well I never! It takes forever for anyone else to get you up but when I mention to you a cold bath, you are up and about like you are going to war." I hear Mana burst out laugh as I feel my face go hot in embarrassment. I roll my eyes at the girl and walk over to the sink. I freeze when I see something dangling from around my neck. A silver star set in a crescent moon shape moonstone.
"My little angel…" I whisper as the dream of last night come crashing down on me. "MY ANGEL!" I roar as I throw open the door to my bedroom where a scared witless Mana stares at me in shock.
"Atemu? W-what got y-ou-u m-mad?" Mana ask nervously as I start to rummage thru my closet, throwing things out of my way as I search for what I need.
"The shadows." I growl as my hand reach the dual disk that was in the bottom of my closet. I turn around and Mana stares at the thing in my hand.
"You are not going into the shadow realm!" She yells as she rush over to me to snatch the accursed thing out of my hand. I only had to raise it over my head to stop Mana from getting to it.
"Mana, I have to. I promise a very special girl I would get her out of the shadows and I must act quickly before the shadows rip her to shreds." I say more harshly then I mean to. Mana backs away as I continue to look at her with my crimson red eyes. She sigh in defeat and throws her hands in the air.
"Fine, go. but I will be coming with you." She snorts at me angrily. before I could get my say in, another voice cuts in.
"As will I, my pharaoh." I turn around to see Mahado staring at me evenly from my doorway, his hair rumpled from sleep. I fell my jaw drop. I never seen Mahado like this before. I roll my eyes and turn my back to them as I make my way to the bathroom.
"Fine, you may come. but we are traveling to the deepest part of the shadows." I warn them before I disappear onto my bathroom. I came back out with simple traveling kilt on with a deep blue cape. On my feet are worn shoes that are about to fall apart, perfect for traveling in the shadows.I also have a leather bag that I have fill with a loose tunic with holes I slotted in the back for my angel's wings so she can move them with freedom. A black cape with a fur lining to keep her warm as we escort her out of the shadows, and a pair of smaller shoes for her feet. Mana and Mahado are in their shadow forms, ready to travel into the shadow realm. One last thing to do. I go over to the doorway and open my door to the hall. A servant comes over with her arms full of flowers.
"Yes, my pharaoh?" She ask as she shift the fresh flowers in her arms. I give her a gentle smile.
"Can you gather a few of the servants and ready the Moonbeam Suite? I have a very special guest coming here soon and she needs a room and all the tender care she can get. Please use the silk sheets on the bed with light blankets." I say to her. Her eyes light up when I mention that the guest is a she.
"Right away, my pharaoh!" She nearly scream in delight and hurries off to spread the news. I only chuckle at her antics before I close the door. I turn to a confuse Mahado and Mana.
"I will explain on the way, right now, we have someone to save."
Wow, I wrote this in two hours. Now that is a record for me. Well, i hope you enjoy the first chapter and please review!
