Have you ever watched Alice in wonderland? Do you remember how she fell inside a rabbit hole, and how strange it was? how a bed flew in the air? Lena felt like she was Alice, but instead of a falling down a rabbit hole, and a flying bed in the air. She had no reconciliation of how she got into this portal like hole that was a shade of dark purple, and black. She swore these colour around her felt familiar. Like she recognized them before in her life. They looked haunting and full of dark magic. It was familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where, and it felt like it was whispering things to her, that she couldn't catch, she tried to reach out of this whirlpool around her, but suddenly there was a white light.

Chapter One

A Breath of Life

Flames of candles blew as a wave of air slipped into a dully lit room. The room lay quiet, and empty apart from a coffin that lay, it wasn't any ordinary sarcophagus though it was like a coffin straight out of a fairytale, most ironically snow whites. The sarcophagus was made out of glass that was created by melting sand from the deserts of Egypt, with a golden base. In there laid a tanned skinned female, her waist length chocolate brown hair flailed around her, as a long dark purple dress covered her body. She looked to be frozen in time and in many cases she was, as days passed she still stays there patiently waiting for her heart to beat once again, to awake and fulfil her role in this game of life and that time was soon to come.

In another room similar to the previous one, knelt an old greyed man, in front of a large statue. This statued looked just like the young female that lay in the coffin, but around her neck was a necklace attached to it was a glistening gem, that glowed the colours of dark red and purple mixed together.

"So it is time." A old croaky voice came from the old man. "I will have everything prepared for when you arrive." He spoke to the statue as if he was responding to the rock. "I will" He seemed to answer after a while. "Worry not my lady I swear to make sure I and my family shall lead you on the path your were destined to be on and to not fall in to the path of darkness." He bowed his head, and the room that once heard his voice, was silent again. That was until the noise of faint footstep could be heard from down the hall. Soon they reached to archway to the room, and there stood a young female only aged sixteen, the same age as how the female in the coffin looked, but it wasn't her. Though she was tanned she had sandy blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Grandfather?" The younger woman whisper due to the quietness of the room. She was curious to what her grandfather had her. Out of their family only those who were chosen could hear the voices of Lady Ramia, the woman who we were lived to serve, since our ancestors.
"My child, we must get everything set up at once." Her grandfather told her as he began to slowly stand up and she went over to help him.
"Does that mean today is the day?" The child inquired.
"Indeed my child this is the day our Lady breaths again." He smiled softly at her and the young female eyes began to shine, knowing that this had been what her grandfather had waited for, for decades.
"I shall go inform Mother." She urgently responded before her Grandfather stop her, shaking his head.
"Don't worry child, I shall do that as I have something to discuss with her, you have another task to do." She looked at him confused and he chuckled a bit before explaining. "You must go pack, it's time you go out and see the world, along with Lady Ramia. She will need a friend, while she heads to Japan, and I don't think your mother could take that place." He laughed, which she join in with before inquiring about Japan. "I met a man many years ago, he was chosen by the pharaoh to take the Puzzle. He resides in Japan, which is were I believe the Pharaohs soul shall be. Lady Ramia and the Pharaohs fate lies tied together and they must stand together." He explained.
"I see, but what about you Grandfather? Will you not be coming with us?" She continued to ask questions.
"I shall stay here, the outside world seems foreign to me, I much prefer to reside in these tunnels, though I do ask you to say hello to Solomon for me once your see him."
"Guessing he's the man that took the puzzle." And he nodded. "Okay, I will Grandfather, I promise. I shall go and get ready then, I'll visit you later tonight Grandfather." The blonde child began to step out of the room, and the old man turned his head back to the statue and spoke one last time before he left.
"I pray she will be a strong friend for you in your journey, My Lady. I shall go and get everything else set up." And with a bow the greyed haired man left the room, and headed more into the tomb.

The young female began to run towards her room now excited to begin packing. She couldn't wait to be able to go and see the outside world. Ever since she was a baby she has been trapped underground, not that she minded it. She always knew it wasn't forever. Her Family was not like the other tomb keepers they knew. While the other tomb keepers were never allowed to leave their tombs, her family could. As long as they vowed to remain as a tomb keeper and come back when it is required they can leave at the age of 18. Her grandfather was the only one to truly stay within these walls apart from when their Lady had called for him to. He always had a sharp connection in sensing the Lady's requests and always chose to obey them. Her mother though did go out into the outside world, but once she was pregnant she came back, so that the old man's granddaughter Nailah could learn to be a tomb keeper and keep their duty going. There was one exception to this though, they were allowed to leave before they turned 18 if there Lady has awakened as long as we help guide her along with everything.

"She will be here soon then" A dark haired woman in her mid thirties spoke to the elderly man on the opposite side of the table.

"Indeed, we need to be ready to greet her, the child won't remember anything of her past." The Grandfather of the blonde child explains.

"I know, Father, she has forgotten just like our Pharaoh has, but there is a difference. She has another life in another realm." His daughter brought up something they both were well aware of. "This realm is known by them, but not in any extraordinary manner, but in a children's show." Her father chuckled at that.

"What's wrong with it being a children's show, Children are much more open to believing then adults." He explained and smiled softly at her "Children also hold so much more imagination, who knows the stories of this realm may help them in some ways as they grew up, and do you not think helping the newer generation is not something that deserves to be looked at as extraordinary?"

"I never thought of it that way." The dark haired female looked down hearing what her father was saying.

"Open your mind my child, like the children." He told her before standing up. "It's time, Akila, we must go."

"Yes, Father." She stood up as well.

Akila lit the room they had just entered. This room was a place only a few where ever allowed to go in, luckily her father and her were one of them. This was the room where the coffin was. The coffin wasn't like all the other coffins in Egypt, but more like it came out of a fairytale. People could say it looked like snow whites coffin, but even though it looked like glass, it really was a type of forcefield that glows a dark purple if someone touches it. The forcefield was a spell to stop the figure in the coffin from ageing.

"She's sleeping." Akila awed, when she went closer to the coffin. Normally the body was still, none breathing, due to it not wielded a soul, until now. "Shall I awake her?" She question her father.

"No, let the young girl sleep, we shall wait till she has awoken. The child has just travelled through dimensions." Akila nodded in response, but decided to break the spell on the coffin. Letting the body feel the air around it that it has not felt in five thousand years.

Nailah, Akila's child, stood in her room looking at the bed in front of her. Out on the bed was a bunch of clothes, but they weren't for her. She wanted to have some clothes set out for her Lady as she thought that she may want to change out of the clothes she wore in the coffin. She may not be allowed to enter that room yet, but she always know that their lady's body resided in there. She wondered what life would be like now out of these halls, there was so many things to explore, many things she heard about, but did not see, but at the same time she wondered what our Lady was actually like. Sure she heard things about her, but how much do you know as true after years or hear say, people could have always twisted the truth, to make her more of an angel or more of a demon depending on the way you look at it, all she hoped was that they could get along. Her grandfather always commented on how he believes that both her and the lady would be as close as sisters. He knew way more then he was ever telling, sometimes Nailah thought he found joy in keeping secrets at times, it wouldn't surprise her if he did. Nailah began to place her hair in a bun before she began to packing.

Akila and her father were both delighted once they saw the sleeping woman beginning to move before them. They knew now that this was truly the time for her to awaken. The elderly ones eyes gleamed with happiness as he felt so overjoyed about this moment that was playing out before him. All of his life he had wished that he would be the one in his family to watch their Lady awake, and now his wish has been granted. A moan escape the lips of the girl as she turned her body sideways in the coffin. They watched her as she now move one of her hands towards her head. It didn't take long til Akila guessed that she hgas most likely awaken to a headache. She turned her head to her father, nodding before exiting out of the room.

The female cursed mentally as she awoke with a sharp pain in her head. She blamed it on the dream she had just awoke from. She began to sit up, destroying the barrier around her, brushing the hair that was covering her face, only feeling the hair moving along her thigh's surprising her causing her to open he eyes, cluchting the hair that came from her head, last time she checked in was shoulder length. It didn't take a second to notice that her hair wasn't the only thing that change, but so did her clothes and bed. She began to frail around where she was sitting, and began to panic. She wasn't home her face scanned the room until she noticed the old man staring at her and almost had a heart attack, placing her hand on her chest.

"My child, do not worry!" He told her in worrying tone. "You need not be afraid." He eased at her. "My name is Ezra Hasina, I understand you are scared and in shock, but trust me when I say it is okay, and we will explain shortly." He told the girl, and for some reason his voice seemed to calm her down. Blue eyes met his and she noticed that he seemed sincere in what he was saying. Another pain suddenly shot through her head and she cursed once again. "I realise your head, must heart my lady, what power brought you here must of cause, worry not, my daughter Akila will be back soon with the pain.

"Lady? Power?" The young girl questioned confused as what he said, and he let out a small chuckle, bvut it wasn't a creepy one.

"Well My Lady I do not know you name, and if you feel uncomfortable you need not tell me. For power on the other hand, maybe we shall a wait for Akila first.

"Lena." She brought up suddenly surprise, but felt like she could trust in some way,like in the back of her head she knew him slightly. "My name is Lena."

"Lena what a beautiful name," He told the young female.

"Thank you." She responded quietly, before thinking for a second. "Ezra, that is Egyptian, means one who helps." Lena told him and he let out a laugh.

"I expect show my mother always said that the sounded right for me." He explained to her. "How do you know about such?"

"I like looking at names and there meanings." She responded. "Mine means sunlight." Lena smiled at him.

"Sunlight I can see how that meaning suits a young lady like yourself" He grinned at her, and she knew he was trying to make me fill a lot more comfortable. It wasn't long til a woman with long brown hair entered the room holding a bowl with liquids in her hand. She looked to be around late 30's and looked mature and motherly.

"My Lady." She greeted bowing slightly, which made Lena feel a little bit awkward.

"Oh, My Lady this is my daughter I told you about, Akila." Ezra told the younger woman.

"Hello." Lena greeted before saying. "Please I ask don't call me Lady it feels weird." She commented.

"I understand forgive us, would you like me to ease the pain of your headache? It will make it easier for you." Akila asked, and though the blue eyed female felt nervous around her, she nodded and moved her legs off the bed-like coffin for Akila to sit down. She did so gracefully and began to place the creamy liquid slowly on the child forehead. To Lena it was rather cold and cooling, but also at the same time it felt nice and she could feel the pain leaving her. "This is a home made recipe, it has been passed down in our family for generation." Akila softly told the girl. "We make all our recipes down here." She finished placing more of the cream like texture on the females face, before Lena finally questioned.

"Where am I?"

"Where are you? Well that is good question and one that will lead to many more." She responded to me. "You sweetheart, are in Egypt, but if you want me to specify where in Egypt well we are underground." She explained, maturity in her voice and before Lena could speak she continued. "But not the Egypt that you think you are in."

"What do you mean!?" She began to panic knowing she was very far from home. Akila placed a hand on the child.

"Don't be scared my lady. I'll explain, but first tell me when you were a child, did you watch a show? A show that had anything to do with Egypt?" She questioned the girl, and she thought for a second before nodding. She didn't understand why that was important though. "May I ask what it was called?" She asked another question to the child. The brunette looked away before turning back again speaking it's name.

"Yugioh?" Ezra laughed and the blue eyes looked up at him.

"Yes it is, it was show about a young boy around my age, he completes this ancient puzzle, called the millenium puzzle, which held the spirit of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, and now has to save the world by playing card games." She explained to him briefly, but couldn't help to grin at how ridiculous it sounded. She didn't care though how ridiculous it sounded she loved the show and it held a special place in her heart. Akila looked at her grandfather when Lena was explaining with a smile on her face before turning back to her.

"Why is it called Yugioh though?" Akila wondered.

"Because it means Game King, and that the main character is named Yugi." She simply stated. "I am kind of a big fan of it, even if it was a kid show, but what has this got to do with being me being in Egypt?"

"Because what if I tell you that this show 'Yugioh' was actually real and you are now in it?" She leaned towards the girl as she whispered what she had just spoken.

"I would think you are mad!" Lena suddenly stood up from the bed. She felt fabric the fabirc of the dress she was in flow around her legs, and remembered she look way different from how she remembered.

"That isn't your body from your world, but your body in this one." Ezra told the brunette, who seemed to have read my mind. "What my daughter said was true, you are in the world of Yugioh."

"You expect me to believe that! Don't lie to me!" Lena exclaimed, she didn't like the fact that she wasn't at home and that the people that have her were talking about being in yugioh. She knew that that was impossible even if she wanted it to be true. She had always wanted be in the world of yugioh, to meet the character that shaped her, but they were fictional and so was the world they lived in.

"My lady... Lena, we shall never lie to you. Everything that comes out of our mouths is the truth when speaking to you. Please do not be afraid child, I know that this may be hard for you to believe, but I shall try and explain it to you" He slowly walked up towards the brunette and took her hands.

Though Lena was still frightened and confused, once he touched her hands her heart beat, that had quickened, began to slow down as she looked into his eyes and when he began to speak to her softly.

"Lena, you have lived sixteen years of you life in a world that you call your home, but it does not mean that that world is the only world. In fact you could say that each world is a different dimension, and they are created from the choices all living things make, when we hit a crossroad and have to make a choice a new dimension is created. They can also be made from a thought, an idea, or even a dream. Even if people do not think it will become true, it will. It is very rare that two worlds would collide, or have a person come through into a different one, but it can happen, and you are proof of it." He explained to the girl. The brunette took a moment to get what he said to sink through. Even if she thought it was bazaar they was something about his voice and what he was saying that made her start to begin to believe it was true, but that because her heart also begged for it to be true. She took a deep breath.

"If what you say is true then how can I do it?" She questioned Ezra.

"Because the Gods brought you back here." Akila began to talk again still in the same spot she had sitting down in.

"That is were the power that brought here is involved." Ezra reminded and Akila began to explain.

"The world you called your home isn't truly the world you come from. In fact you were originally from here, 3000 years ago, your soul was sent away to a world were you can be safe, as requested by the man only you know the name of." Lena thought for a second before realising who she was talking about. "Your were to be sent away until the day came and you were needed once again. The day when you will help the Pharaoh once again defeat the shadows." Lena quickly looked into the eyes of Akila who as speaking walked up to the child.

"The Pharaoh" Lena whispered, her heart began to beat faster. As Akila mentioned the Pharaoh she realised that she was probably going to meet the person who made the biggest impact in her life. She heard the old man laugh, and she turned to him.

"Of course, my lady, your destiny and his is intertwined." Ezra told the child.

"You know this sounds like it would be a fanfiction." Lena commented, but mostly to herself as she thought about it.

"Fanfiction?" Akila inquired and Lena laughed nervously.

"Ah that's not important. Anyway if all of this is true then how am I meant to meet them. I'm in Egypt and he and the gang are in Japan." I asked them.

"Akila will take you there along with my granddaughter, Nailah" Ezra answered before turning to Akila, who nodded.

"Indeed I shall. We have the right necessities to be able to get you, Nailah and I to Japan. I hope you won't mind, but I will be your guardian in this world. If you would come with me I shall take you to Nailah's and your room for now. I hope that you to will get along" Akila smiled at me and I nodded before saying goodbye to Ezra.
