This is an addition and rewrite to the beginning before the chapter 1 Return of Zophise. Zepher's pov
Summary: It's the third and final year for us and the start wasn't as pleasant. Quite a bit of humor.
Prolong: the new saga begin
The small sharp yacht cut through the water leaving the large ship and plane-caring the freshmen-miles behind. The sun beaming down on the deck, seagulls and other ocean birds flew above and around the 5 star yate. The ocean wind blowing through my hair as I leaned on the railing. My sights set on an island in the middle of the ocean. My sister and because partner Roxanna Aelita Steel called out to me from the top of the boat that we were about to arrive in 45 minutes.
We weren't the only two on, also on board were two 17 year old boys. Grand champion winner Zane Truesdale and the Academy's chick magnet Atticus Rhodes, I met them during our first year. Friendly meeting Atticus, as for Zane lets just say we had our differences. Anyway both of there siblings are starting out here including mine. I, I mean my sister and me came here to repolish our skills, since it's been 10 years without real competitive game.
Let's just hope this year would be easier than the last.
"Zepher I have admit this beats going on the boat and getting mobbed by crazy fan girls." said Zane who was right behind me.
"Told ya, though Atticus wouldn't mind it much. I'm still recovering from the pro dueling over the summer, not only that also getting mobbed by 20 year olds and teenage girls." I said turning around my back against the rail.
"Really for year 3?" he asked jokingly as side that he shows to me only.
"You bet, though I'm still worried about what happened last year, you know the demonic voice, the sudden need for blood and flesh, and vomiting." I said remembering the second year then turning around to face the ocean, Zane joining me.
"So do you think we have some real completion with any of the freshmen this year, last year we creamed them?" I asked, itching to get my game on. (I had to say that)
"Some, one of them being Alexis Rhodes Atticus's sister, Bastion Misawa-Ra Yellow- the one who scored the highest in the entry exam. Then there is Chazz Preston who is in Obelisk dorm and the heir to the Princeton fortune, and last a kid named Jaden Yuki-a Slifer- he has quite a playful attitude."
"He's the one who beat Dr. Crowler am I right?" I asked my chin resting on the palm of my hand.
"Correct, anyway Alexis says he has potential. Personally he's just a kid who got lucky and you can't rely on that t can you. As for my brother he won't make it to the next semester before dropping out." he said his voice growing sterner.
"Zane I never knew you were that observant." Atticus joined.
"Only when the duels interesting." he retorted.
"Chill bro, just joking." he said
"Anyway first impressions, or should I say first duels aren't always what they seem. Zane I know I've gotten on to you about this but have faith in your brother and support him. Stop being so cold. As for tat Jaden kid this will be interesting. He seems to have faith in his deck. No I'm not going to preach about the heart of the card." I said seeing that they were about to tune me out.
"Zepher 25 minute till we reach the Academy Island." Aelita shouted over the waves.
"That our cu. lets get our bags." I said walking to bottom of the ship where the rooms were. We left the examation few hours early to beat the rush and the load of freshmen who weren't use to seeing me around school.
"I hate this part of the new year." Atticus grumbled grabbing 5 or 6 bags and trudging up the stairs.
"We told you to back the necceites before we got on" I said following Atticus.
"What did you pack anyway?" Zane asked.
"Oh clothes, snacks, hair gels, sprays, and conditioners." he answered giving us as goofy idiot smile of his.
We gave him in return anime style frustrated look, our knees bent and and sagging under the weight as he rambled on.
"Dude your worse than Mai Valentine and that really saying something."
When the yate docked the pier seemed empty. Zane and I let out a sigh of relief (add sighing sign).
"Yah we beat the rush." I cheered jumping off the boat, Zane following and Atticus fell flat on his face due to the immense weight of the bags. Just as we landed the plane and the ship carrying the other student. We-except Atty- froze, the cheers and calls of the girls was heard signaling that we were here. The stares of the male students pierced trough us. Among the screams of them were our siblings calling to us.
Zane and I cringed at the screams, at times we may be different in more ways than one but the publicity we had in common. Atticus on the other hand was waving to the crowd.
"Oh shit" I muttered before grabbing Zane and Atticus into a quick get away.
I have know idea where my energy came from by right now I don't care. We sprinted down the dock and dirt path leaving the dust clouds to settle at rate of 20 mph
In the background were the school assistants saying "Now if you can calmly step off the boat and plane in an orderly manner. Freshmen will be show to the gym, sophomores and seniors go to your dorms. As you have seen our schools best running for there lives."
We rushed to the Boys Blue dorm which was close to the center of the island.
When we reached to doors, one of the duel proctors was about to open the door, that is when we rammed him up against the glass, double doors. Poor guy we must of crushed his internal organs. We got off of him, who was pissed. He was close to not letting us in. When he did he muttered thing about kids these days.
We didn't care right now, just getting up to our dorms well me and Zane did. Atticus on the other hand was struggling against you grip we had lock around his arms. Rushing up the stairs and nearly busting down the door to my dorm, we nearly collapsed under the weight and the now discovered numbness/weakness in our legs.
"Zepher, Zane warn me when you guys are going to do this." Atty panted between words.
"Atticus get off of us." I said struggling from the new weight on me. Atticus used the rest of his energy to roll of us knowing the air off of us.
"I vote we just lay here for the next two or three hours." Zane said his voice muffled by the carpet we were laying on. "Any one with me say nay." he added which strange, but who cares. Atty agreed with him.
I didn't, they needed to get their stuff to there rooms which were next to mine.
The muffled thuds behind the walls told me that they were dead asleep. I stayed on the floor for another hour before getting up and things slightly in line. Then collapsing on the sectional couch. All was silent except of the hard panting and the nature sounds outside. Then closed my eyes, took a deep breath and fell asleep. For once getting a restful sleep, no mangers, fan girls, surrounding the house and no popeaze well by the press. At least things will slow down a bit. Not giving the slightest care that the door was open or that my clothes were ruffled.
The next thing I remember is being slapped awake by a cold hand.
"I'm awaking you." I mumbled not bothering to open my eyes.
"Zepher the welcome dinner will start get up and look half way decent." Zane said shaking me awake.
That hit me, my eyes shot open. Crap I forgot the welcome dinner, okay its 6 now it starts in thirty minutes. I got up pushed Zane out, and then rushed to the bathroom. I stared at the condition I was in, not back but not good. For one I smelled of sweat and couch, two my hair and clothes were disevered, and three my face was crap. I hastily wet my hair, then grabbed the bar of soap and washed my skin. Then used my sunglasses as a head band to hopefully cover that problem up. Then raided my closet for a uniform that wasn't packed. When I did I sprade it with Axe and threw it on and headed out with 5 minutes to spare.
I nearly ran down the stairs to meet Zane and Atticus at the foot of them.
"You made it amazingly." Zane said in is usual emotionless voice.
"Hurry Crowler is about to give is welcome speech." Atticus said rolling his eyes before turning around and walking to the dining room.
A large feast met our eyes, the chatter in subsided. Another thing Zane and I had in common that we were able to silent a room the bad thing is that the stare at us like we were on display or something. Whispers followed about us, either in aw or in judgment. We took our plates and found a seat away from the sea of blue. Just as we Crowler came down the stairs, a microphone in his hand. He did this speech, we half-listened to it we heard it 3 times including this one, well they did.
"After the duel with that Jaden kid Cowler was pissed. I think the wants to expel the kid. At least that he won't be going after you." I let out a hollow laugh.
One it was true ever since I was in Silfer for the first by mistake, I've been the target for Crowlers attempts of explosion. Also I really don't approve of being picked by our rank in school or popularity.
"Well I have to admit that was very humorous when were ran into the proctor. Ever though I still have a knot in my forehead from that." I said laughing for real.
"What I don't get is why do you always run from all the fan girls. I love to have millions of people recozing me."
"Atticus we're not you some of us love the peace and quiet and you have to deal with the poparize. I swear I'm swarmed with fan girls if I was looking for a date which I am not." Zane said sternly incase if Atticus got any ideas of pairing. Then I pulled out his ipod touch scrolled down to my webpage in a duelist site. Then gave it to Atticus.
"I get an average of 500,000 emails and comments on me most in admiration. Some too strong." I said cringing at the thought. Atticus was shell shocked at this.
"Does that thing beep every time out get and email?" I nodded.
We talked more about random thing stuff don't remember. The time flew by as we asked about our summer for Zane and me workload, more traveling. When we were done we got up, went to the rooms.
A crack of thunder hit causing Atticus to jump.
"Afraid of thunder?" I asked knowing what would happen. He nodded.
"I'll get the sheets and pillows."
I walked to the closet and grabbing a thin confuter and pillow. Pulled out the fold in bed that was with the couch, and made a bed for my lighting phobic friend.
I got out my clothes and put them in the dress, until I reached the bottom. My hand fell on an old black diary that had a silver skull on the front in its mouth was an onyx colors cross. The silver and black had begun to dull and flack off. I ran my hand over it, taking the time to feel the cool surface. Zane and Atticus never knew I kept something this gothic with me let alone take it where ever I go. I opened it and flipped through the pages. Some had stared to show signs that age was getting to them, the ink faded but still readable. An entry caught my eye; I read it in a low whisper.
"Dear Diary, The world is filled with hate they trick you into believing it is a kind and serene place. I found out that it was a LIE. I have lived in domino for 1 yr now and still I can never erase that scars left for my abuser." the word hit me like a punch in the gut knocking the breath out of me. A tear fell on the page I put it up in the lowest drawer by its alone. It's the past I want to forget.
A knock came following up with a voice, Atticus. I wiped the tear away and open the door.
"Zepher I got my blanket." he said childishly. He got settled into the sheets and quickly drifted off to sleep. I looked at him and smiled, he and Zane are like my little brothers.
I closed the door to the bathroom and switched on the lights; I showered and brushed my teeth, combed my hair and got my night clothes on. Turned the light off and slipped into bed. I stared at the cling, and then looked at him, who was sawn logs. It must be nice to know that you can sleep with out the terrible nightmares only to have peaceful dream and not be tossing a turning in bed. I envy them.
I turned of the night lamp nest to my bed. Grabbed my I phone and tuned out to some music.
Little did I know that this would be one of the only joyful moments in a long time.
