Chapter 11
The Spell
With a cauldron boiling with very hot thick liquid, Dartz chanted the spell as he dipped a single apple into the brew. "Dip the apple in the brew. Let the Sleeping Death seep through." and watched as the brew absorbed the apple.
When he pulled the apple from the cauldron, he smirked as a few thick, gooey leftovers remained on the apple and drip back into the cauldron. Instantly, Dartz saw the liquid take form of the skull of death. "Look ! On the skin!" Dartz said to the crow. "The symbol of what lies within." Then when enough time past, the liquid vanished into the apple, turning it a delectable red. "Now, turn red to tempt Yugi. To make him hunger for a bite."
Laughing, he turned toward the crow and said, "When he breaks the tender peel to taste the apple in my hand, his breath will still, his blood congeal. Then I'll be the most admired in the land." Dartz then burst into laughter.
Until a realization hit him. "But wait!" Being sure no one is around, Dartz continued, "There may be an antidote." Rushing over to the spell book, Dartz looked for what might cure the young Prince of the Sleeping Death spell. "Nothing must be overlooked." Finding what he was looking for, Dartz read the antidote description reluctantly, "The victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by true love's kiss."
After reading that last part, Dartz slammed the book shut. "Bah! No fear of true love's kiss. The Egyptians and those fools he calls best friends will think he is dead. He'll be buried alive!"
But then another problem surfaced in his mind, realizing there is still Atem to deal with. "But Atem will do anything to save Yugi." Then, remembering what's been going on at the palace Atem and his friends used to live, Dartz went over to his crystal ball and with a single wave of his hand, the events that have been going on at that palace for the last nine years, Dartz smirked as he noticed a tall Egyptian man in a long white Egyptian robe and a white turban on his head.
"Since those Egyptian fools were able to save their kingdom from that attack, they've been trying to find the five boys that escaped. It seems that Egyptian Shady is close to find the mansion. Once he finds it, Atem will know about his family being alive and he'll want to leave to go see them. With him gone, Yugi won't have his true love to save him when the others fail."
Now in complete power and control of the future events, Dartz placed the poison apple in a basket of apples, with the red apple at the top and he left the castle, laughing that by tomorrow, Yugi will be under his spell, buried deep in the earth and Dartz will be the most admired in the land.
