Yugi downed his water in one gulp, still flushed from the energy they had
poured into that spell.
It had started simply enough.
Ryou had found a book of spells while going through his attic, and had showed it to Yugi and Marik. They had tried one of the spells and . . . it had worked.
After that it was just natural. Get together, slip away from the Yamis (which wasn't that hard) and do a spell. The spells became more and more complicated as they found more books, and they began to study Magick in earnest. Their Yamis, busy dealing with whatever was going on (they hadn't really bothered to find out) hadn't noticed a bit as the Hikaris . . . grew up, for lack of a better term. Everything was going smoothly, Magick entering every part of their lives, and them welcoming it, using spells at every turn, when it happened.
Marik had done a dream spell that allowed you to find out the Destiny of yourself and anyone else named in the spell. Now, by this time they knew that the universe was actually run by different powers, light, hope, Destiny, and several others. So, the spell worked and Marik found out the Destiny of all three of us.
When we saw Marik the next day he was yelling bloody murder at the sky.
It turned out that their Destiny was to serve as a vassal for the Yamis and then be killed in seemingly random accidents.
For awhile they were depressed, but then the depression turned to pure stubborn refusal.
They started to search. They looked through every book on spells, charms hexes, anything that might them, anything at all. Then, on a hunch, Yugi picked up a book on invoking the Deities. It turned out, there was only one person, Goddess, who could stop Destiny.
The three of them look at the radiant being standing in the middle of the room. Finally, she spoke.
"I can give you what you want, for a small price, my children."
"Your children?" questioned Ryou.
She smiled sadly. "My children. You were to be my greatest champions until Destiny claimed you."
"What do you mean you can give us what we want?" demanded Marik.
"I can get you out of you Destiny, of course. But I can also do much more. If you come with me, my children, you will grow into your true heritage."
"Our true heritage?"
"You were created to have powers far beyond your Yamis, and influence in the universe far greater then Destiny. If you except, these powers will be yours and more. Please, I beg of you my children, Destiny must be brought down and only you can do it. She leaves no free will for anyone. Everything is planned out ahead of time for everyone. And even if you don't against her, come with me anyway."
"Why would you want us with you?" asked Ryou suspiciously. This sounded incredibly like one of those stories where the devil lures the innocent.
She looked at him and all at once he could see through her to her very soul, and he knew the others could, too. He could dig her very memories, and she would not fight back. Quietly she said, "I want what all mothers want. To be with her children. Please come with me."
Yugi looked at the others and, receiving their agreement stated quietly, "What do we do?"

Rain: o . . . k . . . odd story. I know what's going on, but do YOU? Should I continue, or not? Tell me! Also, I haven't made the Yamis the bad guys, they don't even know that Destiny exists much less that she is about to kill of their Hikaris . . . anyway, don't expect updates very often, I've got quite a few stories going on right now, although this might move up on my list of priorities if it gets a lot of good reviews . . . (hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.)
