Author's Note: Here's chapter two everyone, I hope you enjoy. More later; please review if you wish.
Their feet were planted firmly on the ground, and golden sand graced the entirety of the land. Every few hundred yards, a magnificent pyramid towered over the millions of tiny grains. In the short distance, a building with beautiful architecture stood tall, inviting the two souls with its temple-like structure.
"Ancient Egypt."
"This is where our origins lie. The answers we seek are here," Kai's other self said, looking about her.
"I agree. Let us head over to that building over there."
Still holding onto each other's hand, they took comfort in the other's presence as they walked forward to the Egyptian palace, unbeknownst of what they were to find. Yami turned his attention to his current companion, "Tell me, how did Joey and Tėa find you?"
"I had just finished winning a duel that I was challenged to. After my victory, I wandered off. I was alone. They found me and invited my other self to join you all. Kai at first refused, but eventually complied after a little persuading. Your friends are very kind."
Yami nodded, "They make sure to help anyone in need and include everyone in their friendship."
"You are very lucky to have found such personalities. Kai only has me, and she is my only friend as well. Other than that, we are alone."
"You don't have to be alone any longer." Yami said, sympathy welling in his violet orbs.
"Oh?" The other spirit blinked, confused as to what the Pharaoh meant by that.
"You now have Yugi and his friends—myself included."
The start of a grin pulled at the corners of the girl's lips, "Thank you."
Yami smiled at her in return before they finally arrived to the front of the ancient structure.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes," the Pharaoh said, his usual confidence taking hold, "let us uncover the secrets of our past."
With that, they entered through two pillars engraved with various hieroglyphics. Fear gripped their chests for a fleeting moment, but was swiftly shoved aside. Inside, a group of seven priests guarded the boarder, each in possession of their own millennium item.
"How are we going to get past them?" Kai's other self asked, frightened of what could happen to them if the priests found them riddled with fault. One could only imagine the brutal punishment in store for anyone spoiled with the label of 'intruder'.
Yami tugged at her hand, "I don't believe they can see us. If they could, they surely would have acted by now."
With caution, the two walked forward, the girl cowering slightly at the powerful beings. The priests were dressed in white robes and pure gold accessories. The authorities stood still, creating a human barricade. But what in the palace were they so keen on protecting?
Kai's dark side nudged Yami.
"What is it?" Yami's deep voice questioned, faintly on edge.
The other spirit lifted her pale arm and pointed forward. Yami followed the direction she was pointing.
He took a sharp intake of breath.
Above them, on another level looking down at them were two figures draped in regal clothing. They sat proudly in gigantic chairs fit for a king and his queen. The two royals looked at each other as the spirits gawked.
It was their past selves.
