Me: Haha! Twice in a row! Anyways, I don't own Yugioh, enjoy chapter two!
Elecktra woke up to find herself in a dark cold tomb. She stood, glancing around.
'This is Mistress' prison, what the hell am I doing here? I thought I could only enter when I was unconscious.'
"Elecktra!" She turned to see a column of white flames. The fire subsided and there stood Mistress. She was dressed like an Egyptian royal in a long white linen gown, complete with gold trim and gold jewelry hugging her arms and neck. Two rings were on the middle fingers of both her hands and a crown of gold lotus flowers was among the thick black hair, hair even blacker then Elecktra's.
"Why did you bring me here, Mistress?" Elecktra demanded crossly. "I don't need to have you knocking me out whenever you need to talk to me."
"I know, I am sorry Elecktra, but this couldn't wait." Elecktra's annoyance subsided. She trusted the spirit, she was wise and powerful. Elecktra would admit that Mistress was like her conscience.
"What is the matter?" She asked interested.
"It seems that something deep inside the Duat is stirring. I know that it is a powerful being, and if it is freed, both of the worlds will fall."
"Is it Zireria?" Elecktra asked. She had dealt with that magician before, and it was not fun, but Mistress shook her head.
"No, this being is worse then Zireria." Fear was starting to climb up Elecktra when she heard fear in the spirit's voice.
"Worse? Who could possibly be worse?" Elecktra asked. It was an effort to keep her voice even.
"A being that I hoped wouldn't stir for years." Mistress said in an uneven voice.
"Who?" The room shook and Elecktra struggled to stay standing. Mistress looked afraid. She cursed.
"Listen Elecktra, I can't keep you here for very long, but listen to what I'm telling you; Don't lose faith. Trust your loved ones, they will guide you, don't cave in to the whispers of the dark, no matter how tempting it may be." The room shook again, this time more violently.
"He will try to pit you and your allies against each other, but please, for my sake, don't break! You must continue to fight."
"He? Who's he?" Mistress shook her head.
"I leave you with this last thing, remember the stories that your father told you, remember the story of the Princess doomed to die and the thief that gave her what she wanted the most. That will lead you and the others to the key."
"Key?" Elecktra could feel herself drafting back to the waking world. Mistress gave her one more sad look.
"I'm afraid that is all the help I can give you. Remember what I told you, and beware of the minions of shadow." Elecktra barely had time to think about what the spirit had told her. Then, she was flung back to the waking world.
Elecktra moaned as she opened her eyes. She had decided that she really didn't like when she was abruptly pushed out of the Duat like that. It really gave her a headache. She sat up to see she was in the Nurse's outside, on one of the cots.
"Elecktra! You're alright!" Elecktra heard Anzu's voice. Her eyes adjusted to light to see that all of her friends were sitting on the other cots, including Ryou.
"We heard about what happened and wanted to see if you were okay." Yugi told her. Elecktra looked down.
"Elecktra, What is the matter?" Yami asked. Elecktra looked up at them with dark eyes.
"Something is stirring in the Duat, and it's making the Duat crumble." She stated ominously. She went on to explain about her talk with the spirit of the Coin. Bakura kept shooting glances at Yami.
"She said to remember the story of the Princess doomed to die and the thief that gave her what she wanted the most." She finished. Jonouchi and Honda blinked in confusion. Anzu looked deep in thought and so did Yugi. Yami looked perplexed and Bakura looked troubled.
"If I may," Ryou started. "Did Mistress say why to remember that story in particular?"
"She said that it would lead us to the key to who the being is, but it was bizarre."
"How so?" Yami asked.
"I've never seen Mistress afraid, even when I've fought against Zireria, she would be concerned, but not afraid like she was. It was bizarre."
"Spirits were people once," Yami pointed out. "Their fears can be carried into the afterlife if they are strong enough."
"I guess so, but I don't know. I'll do some research and see what I can find." Anzu volunteered to help her go searching.
"Sure, you can help. I'll need all the help I can get."
