Prologue
Turn the music up louder, it time to dance like we're from outer space!
Move your body like you have no control,
Turn up the volume cause my songs on the radio!
Song on the radio!
The crowd cheered as a girl with black hair and green highlights that was short on one side, and long on the other side finished her last song of the concert.
"Thank you for coming out today everyone!" The girl spoke as she bowed to her audience, "It was a pleasure being able to sing here in front of so many of you! Thank you for the support, and have a good night!"
She bowed again as the audience continued the clap, the curtains closing in front of her until she could not be seen anymore. The girl let out a sigh before she turned around to go back to her trailer. It was finally the last concert of her tour, and she could finally go home to spend some time with her mother.
"Great job tonight Yusa!" Her manager, Kiko stated as she followed the girl towards her trailer.
The girl, Yusa, turned to look at her and smiled, "Thank you Kiko, I can finally rest..."
Kiko nodded, "That's right, you deserve it. Go on and get your stuff, we leave for Japan in a few hours!"
The two reached the trailer, and Yusa turned around to nod towards her manager before going into the trailer. She closed the door behind her and sat in her chair with a deep sigh escaping her lips. She reached over to the desk and picked up a silver heart-shaped locket, her name spelled beautifully on the front. She opened it, which revealed a picture of her when she was little along with two people standing behind her. The first was male who had blonde hair and green eyes (her father) and the woman had black hair and silver eyes (her mother). Her father had passed shortly after this picture was taken, and Yusa was given the locket when he was on his death bed. She's kept it with her ever since.
It was only her and her mother now, and Yusa made sure that checked on her mother every day to make sure she was okay. But the last time she checked, her mother didn't sound so good and brushed it off stating that it was only just a mere cold. Of course, Yusa didn't believe her and was glad that her tour was able to finish in time so she could care for her.
Yusa got up from the chair and began to pack up her things, making sure she brought everything with her. Everything in her tour meant a lot to her, and she didn't want to leave a single thing behind. And after packing up all her things, she collapsed back onto the chair and let her body hang loosely as if she were a puppet that stings were let go of. But she relaxation was cut short when she heard a knock come from outside of her trailer.
"Yes?" She asked as she sat up, eying the door.
"You have a letter Yusa." She heard Kiko say.
She got up from her chair and opened the door, being greeted by Kiko holding a white envelop in her hand.
"It looks like a letter from home, but don't worry about it I didn't read it."
Yusa nodded, "Thank you." And she closed the door once Kiko was gone.
She sat back in her chair again and read the front of the envelop. It was from her Aunt Megumi, someone she hasn't heard from ever since her father's funeral. Why was she contacting her all of the sudden? She opened the letter anyway and began to read the content inside, something that she would regret for her whole life...
She wish she didn't have to find out by letter, nor did she wish for it to be over the phone. She wanted to be there for her mother, but it was just too late. Now here she was, standing in the rain over her mother's newly made grave. Fresh tears still pouring down her face, which was also mixing with the rain due to not having an umbrella.
"Momma...you idiot!" She cried as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "You should have told me you were sick! I would have come home right away..."
She collapsed onto the grass and sobbed away. She stopped when she saw a shadow engulf her own, and she looked up from her crying. She came face to face with a woman who looked exactly like her mother, only instead of black hair she had red hair. She was holding an umbrella over both of them, a sad look not leaving her face.
"Ready to go home Yusa?" Her aunt asked.
Yusa looked at her mother's grave one last time before nodding. She then lifted herself off the ground, and followed her aunt to her car.
"You're what now!?" Kiko asked as she sat across from Yusa, who wore a straight face.
"I'm quitting music..." Yusa repeated.
"But...but why?" Kiko asked as gazed upon her top singer with sadness.
"I don't have the heart to continue my music." She explained as she looked away, "Its caused me to be away from my family for too long...I wasn't able to see my mother for one last time."
"But we can change you schedule then! We'll give you more vacations, more time to rest whatever you need!" Her manager pleaded, "You have to stay Yusa...!"
"I've made my decision!" Yusa yelled as she stood up, "I'm done!"
And with that, she walked out of the room and closed the door leaving behind a dumbfounded ex-manager.
Yusa walked back to where she was staying now: Her aunt's house. Yusa was still young to be living by herself, being only 15 and all, so her aunt decided to take her in. She didn't mind living with her aunt, but she also wanted to be alone at the same time. She was alone after all...no father or mother to greet her anymore.
Was there really anything else to live for?
She stopped walking in her tracks, and almost wanted to slap herself in the face. There was no point in dying at all, her parents would have wanted that! She just need to find something else to do with her life, something that would make her...happy.
She looked to her side and came across and nice looking shop that seemed to have nice looking antiques inside. She didn't like old things, but her body was telling her otherwise as she found herself walking into the shop and starting to look around. The items in the shape looked well-kept and well-looking enough to buy. But that's not what was pulling Yusa, it was a card. A card with a picture of a dragon that is. It seemed to be one of those cards from that card game that everyone talked about around here.
What was it again...? And what was it doing in an antique store...?
"I see you are interested in this card Miss." A voice stated, startling poor Yusa.
Yusa turned around and found an lady that was around her 60s walking out from the back of the store.
"Yea, I guess..." Yusa simply answered as she continued to eye the card.
"Are you interested in buying the card?" The lady asked as she gave Yusa a grin.
She shrugged, "I really don't know much about that game...I don't even know that its called..."
The lady laughed as she took the card out of the glass case it was in, and she handed it over to Yusa, "Its Duel Monsters. That's the name you're looking for."
"Right..." Yusa nodded.
"Then, have it for free." The lady told her.
Yusa turned to looked at her in disbelief, "You can't be serious!"
"Oh I am." The lady told her, "I have a feeling this card is calling to you. Maybe its telling you to play the game."
Yusa looked at the card much closely now, 'Earth Elemental Dragon...' She read in her head.
This was happening way too fast...
"Go on now, your destiny awaits you." The lady said as she began to push Yusa out the door, the girl protesting in response.
Soon, she found herself out the door and the door being shut in her face. Yusa rolled her eyes before continuing to walk back to her Aunt's house.
After dinner, she sat on her bed and continued to looked at the card was given not too long ago today. Why was her future calling going to be playing a stupid card game? And what did this damn card have to do with her destiny?
"This is ridiculous!" Yusa yelled as she threw the card onto the floor, noticing that a piece of paper feel onto the floor as well.
She picked up the paper along with the card again and inspected the back of it. There was no piece of paper when she first got the card from the lady. So how did it appear here?
She read what was on the paper aloud, "Send forth the evil of the underworld, and let the dragon arise from its slumber!"
And suddenly out of nowhere, light appeared over the card she was holding and she let go of it with a fright. And soon after, a transparent dragon similar to the one on the card sprung out from it and circled around the room. After a few minutes, the dragon stopped circling Yusa's room and charged towards Yusa. As an instinct, Yusa lifted up her right arm to protect herself. But the dragon went straight through her and was absorbed into her body. The light then disappeared leaving the card on the floor, and a deeply confused Yusa.
"What the hell just happened..." Yusa asked after a few minutes of silence.
The words that she had spoken from the paper was some kind of spell, and now she probably had a spirit haunting her!
'And all because of this card.' Yusa thought as she picked up the card the her right hand, only to notice that her right arm now had a dragon outlined in green on it.
"What?" Yusa questioned as she lifted her arms and looked at her new and permanent tattoo.
The lady was right. Maybe her life was about to change...
And she now had the play the game.
The game of the Dragon Age!
