Vacation Location: Middle of Nowhere
Author's Note: Even though this story is a crossover between Cardcaptors and Yu-Gi-Oh, I would say that the emphasis is on "Yu-Gi-Oh". The story's easy to understand, if you watched both the animes. If not, well, just go along with the plot. (yes, it does have a plot)
Disclaimer: I do not own a second of those wonderful animes. I am not making a cent out of this, I only wrote it for your enjoyment. *glares*
Prologue
Blackness, surrounding her. It was night, yet it was not. What could originally be seen is only a mere shadow. Suddenly, a light appeared. A distant light, yet still, she ran towards it. Nearer… Nearer… Nearer… Until at last, she was the light. She closed her eyes. It was pointless to try to see. Yet in her mind, pictures flashed back and forth. She could not grasp them fast enough, and they faded away…
There was something… A remaining image… Of an airplane. Small, but there is no mistaking it. She stepped closer, but abruptly, fire engulfed it. Burning… Burning… Burning… But before she could understand, everything disappeared.
She was now at a dense forest. The trees were blocking the light, making it seem as dark as before. To the right, she could make out the remains of a… she gasped. It was the airplane she saw before! Yet it was not. It had crashed into the trees. Parts were destroyed, parts hang in the branches, parts burned away…
To her left, there were only shadows. But she headed there, knowing there was something waiting for her. She was right. There was something. Something malicious, evil, and not a part of this world. It was coming… Coming… Coming… Coming for her.
Sakura jolted upright in her bed, sweaty and gasping for breath. The nightmare was something she wouldn't forget. For a long time, she rested her heart and thought. The dream was a vision of the future, she knew. Yet she had no idea what it meant. She would find out all soon enough, she was sure. It had always been that way. Sakura slept. This time, peacefully. She would know everything soon enough…
Meanwhile, near the pyramids in Egypt…
"Hey! I found something!" A woman cried. She kneeled and carefully picked out a scroll from the sands. There was writing on the scroll, ancient hieroglyphics, none of which she could understand. But suddenly the images whirled, changing and changing until they made sense. The woman's surprise was less than that of her curiosity, and so she read out aloud:
"By the sands of time,
And the bonds of earth,
By the magic of light and darkness,
It is now that the pharaoh's spell be broken,
Unleash the might that was sealed away!"
She had wanted to stop, but the spell had taken control and forced her to read on, fearfully and nervously:
"By your name, I call upon you,
From your eternal slumber,
Awake, MURA!"
No sooner than the last word was spoken, the woman felt her senses being taken away, and her mind slipping… slipping… Slipping away into the Shadow Realm.
It was now Mura who stood in the woman's body, the Eye of Horus glowed brightly on her forehead, "I am free." The last word echoed in the distance, her voice melodious, unlike the evil that was within her.
Next Time: Summer's beginning, and everyone's itching to go on an adventure. Who will, who won't? The fun begins in "Day One - Summer Plans".
Uploading Policy: I write long chapters, mind. And long chapters take a long time to write. Don't rush me, I'll update when I'm ready. (reviews help, hint, hint)
