Well, hello there! I've finally written something that isn't a one-shot that I like! I hope you all like it too.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. If I did, do you think I'd be writing fanfiction? I also don't own anything that resembles another's work.
Pairings: Yami/Yugi, Bakura/Ryou and Malik/Marik...there is another, but I don't want to spoil it. You'll probably all guess anyway, but hey, I can pretend it's a secret.
Warnings: This fic will contain shounen-ai (boyxboy) relationships, so if you don't like it, please, don't read.
Oh, and the name of the chapter in bracketsmeans a new paragraph
People scurried about the Room of Visions; some carrying small crystal bowls of water, others were carrying crystals on string and a few staring intently at hand held mirrors. One particular female was standing in front of a mirror edged in gold, that went from the high ceiling to the black marble floor, her hand gently touching a golden necklace around her neck. Suddenly, the mirror shattered and she fell to the floor. A number of people came to the female's aid.
"No, I am fine, I must see the king," she said, dusting off her robes as she left the room.
The young Seer was so intent on getting to the king quickly, she failed to notice the young boy in her path until she crashed right into him.
"Oh my! Forgive me, Elemental. I did not see you," she gasped, bowing to the crimson-eyed boy.
"Ishizu, what did I say about that? My name is Yami. Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
Ishizu fidgeted with her robes.
"I must speak to the king, it is of utmost importance."
"Is it another elemental?" Yami asked excitedly.
"Yes, Elemen…" Ishizu stopped herself at Yami's glare, "Yami."
"Then Seto will be of no use to you."
"What do you mean?" Ishizu asked, slightly shocked that the king wouldn't be able to help.
"Sure he is king, but dimension shifting takes much more magic than what he is capable of using. After all, Seto is only an Ice mage. Shifting through different dimensions will deplete all of his magical reserves, possibly killing him."
"But I was so sure…it's the first Elemental we've found, aside from yourself."
"Take me to the Room of Visions," Yami ordered.
"But, Yami…"
"I said, take me, Ishizu."
Silently, Ishizu lead Yami to the Room of Visions, her search for the king forgotten as the excitement of finding another Elemental mage dawned upon her.
(The God of Darkness)
By the time Yami and Ishizu had arrived at the Room of Visions, the shattered mirror had been replaced, with an identical one and the Seers were back to looking into their bowls, crystals and mirrors, writing down and recording their fleeting visions hoping to piece together different occurrences that will happen in the future.
"It was at this mirror," Ishizu said, pointing to the mirror she had been standing at earlier, "And the dimensions I saw were nothing like anyone has ever described."
"Can you show me?"
"Of course your highness, however, it shall only be parts of the vision. I have already tired myself out," Ishizu explained, resting her forehead on Yami's, her necklace glowing.
The landscape was barren and bare and littering the cliffs and plains were millions upon millions of pods. Inside the pods were human beings and within one particular pod, a pair of bright green eyes shot open… the vision moved forward to a different dimension…
Most of the earth was covered in water, people on the land stepped into the water and dove beneath the surface, one walked to the waters edge,, looking up at the sky with blue eyes…again the vision sped forward…
The area was empty, everyone was in their houses as the storm raged outside…up in the sky however, one of their kind rode the winds, allowing the rain to soak them, lavender eyes twinkling with mirth…
Animals ruled, the humans their feeble pets or struggling for survival in the untamed wilderness, deep lavender eyes glared at the kingdom where the animals resided…the vision faded and Ishizu collapsed, the Elemental catching her.
"Ishizu, you overtaxed yourself. You there!" Yami exclaimed, pointing at an apprentice Seer, "Go and fetch a healer now. Preferably, Anzu Mizaki. Go!" He ordered.
Anzu came at a run and was soon healing Ishizu
"She'll be fine, sir. She just needs to rest for a little while," Anzu said, the blue glow surrounding her and Ishizu fading.
"Thank you, you are dismissed."
Anzu bowed and left the Seers bedroom, Yami following not too far behind.
(The God of Darkness)
Yami burst in through the huge golden doors, startling the guards standing on the inside.
"Seto!"
The king continued to look over the collection of maps he had sprawled out on the table in front of him, marking different spots on the map with different colours.
"I need to go dimension travelling!"
This caused the king to glance at Yami.
"For what reason do you need to go to a different dimension, Shadow Elemental?" He questioned, using his ice magic to create a wall of ice over the door so no one could interrupt.
"The Seer, Ishizu, has found another Elemental," Yami said with a smirk. Seto paled.
"Another? Then the Seers visions are coming true," he whispered, looking at the six statues of the gods in the throne room.
"What?"
"The Seers predicted that the legend of the six gods is coming true."
"What legend?" Yami questioned.
"The six gods of the Elements - Light, Darkness, Water, Air, Fire and Earth created our dimension. That you know of, correct?" Yami nodded, "When the gods had finished creating our world, they created magicians and mages. With their task complete, the gods were destroyed, but they left a Prophecy. This you do not know of as it was thought to be a mere legend, however, those with the ability to See, have seen the Prophecy come to pass. The Prophecy said that the gods would come back and live amongst us magical folk. It did not specify when or where, but it did say why. Each of the gods was and is the guardian for the element they were endowed with. When the balance between elements becomes even slightly unstable, the gods will be reborn to control the element. Fate also has a huge part to play, as it decides people's destinies such as choosing whom the Gods will be reborn as and things like that. Now, as you know, with the different dimensions there should be as many of you or me as there are dimensions. That's how dimensions work; they are all variables of our one Earth meaning there would be variables of us. Obviously, there were only six gods, so there can't be a god in every dimension, as that would equate to hundreds or thousands of them. No matter how many dimensions there are, there will only be one god of that particular element." Seto looked at Yami who looked slightly confused, "I'll explain. If I was the god of say, Air, there would be only one of me, no matter how many dimensions there are. However, because I am not the god of Air, there are, for example, fifty dimensions, thus there will be fifty of me. I now believe that the Prophecy that the gods left is coming true because we have found other being that we call 'Elementals' - mages with the ability of an entire element. Do you see where I am headed with this?"
Yami thought for a moment and then his eyes widened with realisation.
"So…y…you mean to say…that you believe that the Elementals are the guardians of the elements and thus, the reincarnation of the gods that created our dimension?"
Seto merely nodded.
"So that would mean…that…I am…"
"Yes, you are the God of Darkness."
So, what did you think? Good, bad, ugly? Any questions, just leave a review and I'll happily answer them for you. (I know, Seto's explanation went for ages!) Remeber to click that little purple button that says 'Submit Review'. Ja ne!
