Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I was going to write a sequel to Brunette
Goddess but Fanfiction.net is gay and deleted my two stories and suspended
me for a week. But they can't hold me down! I am back with more awesome
stories for you to read! I will always be here! You can't silence me
because people love my stories! Now back to the story. It is in ancient
Egypt and the duel monsters are real. It just came to me. ENJOY!
I don't really know what I am. People think I am weird because strange things happen when I am around. I was standing by a cat and it just died al of the sudden. It wasn't my fault! At least I don't think it was. My family shunned me cause these things happened. My father used to beat me. And my mother never even cared. I hear them talking sometimes. They said that I would be trouble as soon as I was born. I am the oldest in the family. All of my younger siblings are afraid of me, and if I even go near one of the my father drags me into his room and.well.
My name is Mahandra. I am a 16-year-old girl living in a world that hates me. I get the worst treatment in my family. I can't eat with the rest of my siblings and what I do eat is what ever is leftover. I have no friends because people know about my "powers." I don't know of any powers. But the last straw came this morning. My father raped me. He said it was to teach me a lesson but it only taught me to hate him to a point where I wanted to kill him. I can't take this anymore so I am out of this hellhole and I will find someone who appreciates me. I had gathered some of my favorite items and some of my good cloths. I tied them up in a large blanket. My room was extremely small, just enough room for my bed and a place for my cloths. I slid out my window and slung the sack over my shoulder. It was the middle of the night so I didn't have to walk in the hot sun. I didn't know where I was going to go but as long as it wasn't here. I wore a lightweight, white robe with gold trim. It was probably the only nice robe my parents had ever bought for me. I walked through the deserted town. All the shops were closed and there wasn't a single scrape of anything on the ground. Merchants would never let you get away with something for free so they cleaned the streets of any dropped items and placed them back in their shops. The whole town was like that! They never took pity on any one! Just look at me. A cat dies in front of me and I am the devil! Well I wouldn't have to take that any more. I passed the palace. It was an elegant building. The stone was smooth and it was painted with the finest paints. I wished I could knock it down. The pharaoh even thought I was a menace. I trudged past the building and out into a wasteland. I didn't know what I was doing. I would probably die out here. But I wouldn't have to go through this anymore. I trudged on farther through but found nothing. The nearest town could be years away.
The morning sun beat down on me. I had camped out under a large rock. I squinted as my eyes adjusted to the bright light. I stood up and stretched. It was a ruff night. I had hardly got any sleep. I untied my bag of cloths and pulled out one of my robes. I pulled my old one over my head and placed it inside the bag. I dusted sand off my arms and legs before pulling the clean robe on. I pushed my long blond hair behind my ear. I turned and began to continue my trek when I noticed what looked like a large building in the middle of the desert. It may have been a mirage but I didn't care. I walked towards it. The building didn't disappear, it got larger as I approached. Soon I was staring up at its huge walls. I walked around till I reached the entrance. It was a tall metal gate. Whoever lived here didn't want any one getting in. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. I turned around to leave when to figures dropped down in front of me. I shrieked and backed into the wall. They were dressed like ninjas. They both carried large metal scythes. They grabbed me by my arms and held me between them. They leapt up and over the walls of the fort and landed on the ground perfectly. I kicked and screamed as they dragged me towards the door.
I stopped as they dragged me into the fort. It was made of smooth limestone. It was as elegant as the inside of the palace! Had I entered another town? They stopped in front of a doorway. "Request permission to enter master." One said. "You may enter," said a voice. They dragged me into the room and flung me onto the ground. I hit the stone floor hard and skinned one of my elbows. I winced in pain. "We found her slinking around the perimeter master." "Leave her to me. You go back to you posts." The two ninjas bowed and walked out of the room. The other voice was standing by a window that over looked the desert. He was dressed in a long purple robe that had many jewels on ii. He also carried a strange looking staff. The really weird thing was his hat. It was.just.weird.
He turned and stared at me. He had a long, gray beard that came down to his chest. I couldn't see his eyes under the strange headpiece. "What was you your purpose for coming here?" he asked. I was a little frightened, not knowing what was to become of me. "I-I didn't mean any harm. I-I was just looking for a place to stay," I stuttered. "Why would you come all the way into the desert to live? Most people come here to die." "Well if I would have died if I would have stayed in my old town." "And why's that?" "Well.things happen when I am around.strange things. and people thought that I was evil." I knew he probably thought it was stupid. "Hmmm. What would happen?" "Well when I was five, I was petting this cat that I found in an alley and suddenly it just died... And once I was walking past these flowers that I thought looked ugly and when I looked at them they shriveled up to nothing." He stood quiet for a moment. "You did cause those things to happen," he said. "Hey! I-I'm not a cat killer or a-" "No you are a magician," he interrupted. "A what?" "This place is for people like you. People with special talents, who are rejected by the real world. Those two ninjas that escorted you here have outstanding speed and stealth capabilities. I, myself, am a magician. I'm known to these people as the Dark Sage. I created this haven for these people." She couldn't believe what he was saying! Magicians? What was going on? "Come with me. I will show you the answers you seek." It was like he read my mind.
As we walked through the corridors I saw many interesting people. There was one man dressed in long blue robes, with yet another crazy headpiece. He sat in a room by himself meditating. His eyes were closed and his face had no expression. "What does he do?" I asked. "That is Maha. His whole name is Maha Vailo. He gathers power from all the elements of the planet when he meditates. I watched on and the man opened him eyes and stood up. He walked over to a wall that had many cracks in it and punched it as hard as he could, making an imprint of his fist. I couldn't believe it! He punched through limestone! "Come. There is more to see." We walked further into the temple until we cam to a huge lake. "Whoa! A lake inside a building!" I stood looking into it. Suddenly a green creature swam over a lightening speed. He stopped at the bank and looked up at us. "Hello Master. A new recruit." I looked up at the old man with a face of disgust. The "thing" was all green and slimy, with fins and gills just like a fish. "This man was cursed by an old lake woman after he drank the water of her sacred lake. His real name was Mathusala but we call him Amphibian Beast." "He winked at me and dove back into the water. "This way please."
We walked up a large staircase. The walls were lined with stone statues. I stared down the endless rows until my eyes fell upon one black one. Suddenly it began to walk towards us. Its legs creaked like metal joints. He stopped in front of us and went down on one knee. "Welcome master. I see you have found another member to enormous family." "This man used to be a warrior. He was never killed in battle. It seemed that no mortal weapons hurt him so one day his enemies incased him in iron armor. Soon his whole body was made of iron. His human name was Goth but we call him Gearfired the Iron Knight. Go head touch him." I slowly reached out my hand and rubbed his shoulder. It was cold, and smooth. He was iron!"
We walked back towards his main quarters when we stopped at on last room. "These are my daughters." He held out his hand. Inside were two almost identical girls practicing fighting techniques. They did exactly the same move at exactly the same time move in perfect sync. The way to tell them apart was by their hair and markings. One had blonde hair and the other had red. "They are Farore and Nayrue. They are the Gemini Elves." We walked back into his quarters. "Now that you've seen what this place is about you should have an answer prepared." I really didn't. It was true that I saw some unthinkable people but what if it was all for show. But then again did I want to walk in the desert some more, or go back to my parents. "You know what, I will join." "Excellent. What is your name?" "Mahandra." "Ok I think I have a perfect name for you. How about the Dark Magician Girl?" It was perfect! I loved it. "Ok!" "Good now time to fit you into your attire." He walked over to a section of wall and a weird object came out. "This is the Brave Scissor. It was invented to make robes for the pharaoh. But it began to kill many of the pharaoh's other tailor's. The pharaoh ordered it to be buried but I uncovered it. It made all of the outfits that we wear here. It will measure you height and size of your.well your size." I made an angry face at him. He chuckled lightly. I walked over to the mechanism. A round "eye" came out of it. It looked me up and down. After a few seconds the "eye" shot back into it and a little word appeared on its screen saying the work was in progress. "I will have Fairy Guardian escort you to your room." He placed his hands together and muttered some words and soon a tiny little fairy fluttered into the room. On her back was a large mace. This fairy didn't mess around. She fluttered up to me. "You room is up on the third floor." The third floor! Of all the floors. "Ok." I said with a loud sigh.
We reached the top of the stone steps and I was ready to faint. " Don't tell me your tired already," the tiny pixie chirped put. " You should talk. You are flying." "You will be able to levitate soon once you learn to use you magic. You are the new magician aren't you?" "Yes." "Oh. A lot of people came in last night." "What do you do when you run out of room in this place?" "The master makes it bigger. You don't even notice when you flying." "Of course not." "Here we are." She showed me a large room. It was unreal! It had a gold-framed bed with beautiful white sheets. It could have belonged in the palace! "Wow," I breathed out. " The third floor is for all female residents. Enjoy your stay," she said as she floated away. "Wait you said this was the female floor." "Yeah female humans, fairies and other creatures get the first floor." She floated down the stairs and disappeared. "I am never going to figure this place out."
I walked into the huge room. It had everything. Even a private shower! I knew I was dirty from the walk. She walked into the bathroom. It had a round gold mirror hanging on the wall over the sink. I closed the curtain in the doorway and stripped of my dirty white robe. I stepped into the elegant tub and pulled the cord. Soon a warm shower of water began to pour onto my head. I poured some oils in my hands. I rubbed my hands body. Soon the water stopped and I walked out of the tub. I grabbed one of the white towels and began to dry my body. Then I heard a cooing sound behind me. I glanced up into the mirror to see a floating ball of fuzz. I shrieked and covered myself. The small thing floated over to me and handed me a scroll. I took it and pulled it open. It read: I am Kuriboh. I have been appointed to you to take do all your duties for you. I am at your service. I looked up at the puffball. "A servant? You don't have to be my servant." It rocked its body back and forth. "No. I don't think someone waiting on another is right."
It rolled its eyes and floated out of the room. He floated back in with another scroll. He wrote another not and handed it to me. It read: This is what I do. If you don't want me I guess I could wash dishes in the kitchen. I looked at the fuzzball to see its eyes all teary. "Oh.its ok. If you want to you can work for me." It closed its eyes and cooed happily. "Here you can dry my back. I handed him a smaller towel and he began to scrub my back dry. He cooed once and flung the towel onto the gold hook on the wall. "Thank you," I said with a smile. He snapped his small fingers and flew out of the room. It shot back in with a pretty white nightgown. "Oh. It's so pretty." I held my hands above my head and he dropped it onto me. Fit me loosely but it was a sleeping gown. I walked out into my bedroom to find a plate of fruit on my bed. "I picked up the card under the plate and read it. 'If you're hungry.' "Did you do this?" I said to Kuriboh. He cooed happily. "Thanks." I sat down on the bed and bit into one of the lush red apples. I chewed it happily. It was the first good meal I had had in my whole life. I looked over at Kuriboh who was just hovering above me. "Do you want some?" He cooed loudly and floated down onto my lap. He grabbed one of the grapes and chewed hit soundly. "You're a little cutie," I said and rubbed his head. He hopped up in down happily.
We finished the meal just as the moon climbed into the sky. I lay on my back on the bed staring at the ceiling. "This is the best place I have ever been in." Kuriboh didn't hear me. He was sleeping on my stomach. I petted his head for a while, thinking of how my life was going to change now that I was in this palace. I got lost in my thoughts and before I knew it I had drifted off to sleep.
I don't really know what I am. People think I am weird because strange things happen when I am around. I was standing by a cat and it just died al of the sudden. It wasn't my fault!
