Chapter 7: Hellfire

As Yugi rang the evening bells in a cheery tone Dartz looked out on the city from his castle, but he was mostly looking at the temple.

Gods of Egypt
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

Gods of Egypt
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

He then walked over to the fire place where a large, bright fire burned.

Then tell me, Gods
Why I see him dancing there
Why his crimson eyes still scorch my soul

In the flames Dartz thought he could see Yami dancing like he did at the festival

I feel him, I see him
The sun caught in his raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control

Dartz then pulled out Yami's black boa from his pocket and brushed the feathers against his face.

Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin

Dartz collapsed to his knees and the whole room turned dark.

He looked around and saw Obelisk, Slifer and Ra at the other side of the room.

It's not my fault

I'm not to blame

It is the gypsy boy
The demon who sent this flame

It's not my fault

If in the Gods plan

They made the devil so much
Stronger than a man

The three Gods then flew into the fire.

Protect me Gods
Don't let this siren cast his spell
Don't let his fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Yami
And let him taste the fires of hell
Or else let him be mine and mine alone

Dartz watched as a puff of smoke, shaped like Yami, came out of the fire and placed it's hands on the man's cheeks. However, just as he was about to kiss the smoke figure someone opened the door.

Dartz turned around and that it was Raphael.

"Master Dartz, the gypsy has escaped." He said. "What?" Dartz hissed, he had the whole temple surround so there was no way he could have escaped.

"He's no where in the temple."

"Get out you fool, I'll find him even if I have to burn down all of Egypt!" He snarled as Raphael left.

Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

Dartz then threw the black boa onto the fire and watched it burn to ashes.

God have mercy on him

God have mercy on me

But he will be mine
Or he will burn!


The next morning Seto had the soldiers lined up in the square awaiting Dartz's arrival.

Just the Dartz carriage arrived. "Good morning sir." Seto bowed as the older man stepped out.

Dartz winced at the sun light.

"Are you feeling alright?" The captain asked.

"Yes, I just had a little trouble with the fireplace last night." He groaned.

"I see, your orders sir?"

"Find the gypsy boy!"
