You awoke to a very familiar figure with black wavy hair, tanned skin, and a long flowing white cape. He seemed to be speaking to you but you couldn't register a single thing that he was saying. All you knew was that his lips were moving, and you definitely weren't dead, which is always a plus. Slowly, your surroundings started filling in, and it hit you that you were back in that endless sea of sand. The stranger in front of you was the same one that you had a bizarre dream about when you passed out in class with Kaiba. How he managed to find you at your school was beyond you, but you sure were happy to see someone other than Yugi, and it was also comforting that he wasn't trying to choke the life out of you. You wondered what happened to him as the strangers words started registering, and you began listening to what he was saying to you.
"Miss Walters, please listen to me. I am trying to help you," he pleaded. He was starting to sound desperate. You felt bad for intentionally ignoring the man and decided to attempt to speak. Hopefully, Yugi didn't severely injure your throat when he went bat shit crazy on you. You let out a small cough, noticed you could still make noise, and decided to take full advantage of it by bombarding this man with fifty questions.
"Where am I? Where's Kaiba? Who are you? What happened to Yugi? Did anyone catch him? Am I okay? He didn't hurt me, did he? Why are you laughing at me?!" you exclaimed the last question when you saw the humorous expression on the man's face. You weren't sure what he found entertaining about this scenario, but you really wanted enlightened so you could enjoy a good laugh too.
"Miss Walters, I would love to explain, but please bear with me. I am just as confused as you are," he said smirking slightly. He stretched out his hand to lift you off the ground, and you glared him down before deciding to accept it. If he wanted to kill you, he probably would have done it by now, so why not trust the strange man in the cape? You stood and noticed your garments were no longer the same. Your attire looked like something ancient. You wore a long white dress, sandals, and a gold headpiece. Gold jewelry lingered all over your body. You felt like an idiot in this get-up.
"Why are you confused? I'm standing here in an outfit I definitely didn't put on and almost died a couple of minutes ago. Not to mention the fact that I'm standing in the middle of a field of sand. I should be the confused one," you said and folded your arms at the man. You wanted to pout like a child. These things didn't ever happen to normal people. You couldn't seem to figure out why all of this kept happening. Moving to Japan may have been a terrible decision in hindsight.
"I'm confused because you should be dead, Bre," the man said very bluntly. "I have no idea how you managed to escape Yami. He attacked you with the intent to kill, yet you managed to get away." He stared at you in silence and rubbed his chin as if in deep thought. You didn't like how he seemed disappointed in your escape. Did he want you dead?
"I don't know how I managed to get away either. Yugi had his hands around my throat, and out of nowhere, I became stronger. I said something about banishing and this bright blue light erupted...and, well, here I am..." your voice trailed off as you began to think about what had happened.
"Miss Walters, did you say a bright blue light?" the man asked perplexed. His eyes were wide open and awaiting an answer. You nodded your head at him, and a small smile slowly crept up his face. "The power of the dragon is protecting you. I'm not sure how, or why, but it saved your life," he was muttering and walking back and forth in the sand. You were glad he was thinking out loud since he didn't seem to be a gold mine of information.
"I'm sorry but did you say that a dragon saved my life?" you asked the man, amusement behind your question. This man truly thought that a dragon had saved you from that psychopath. He must have sensed your anger because a frown formed on his face and he walked toward you in a huff.
"Miss Walters, do no mock what protected you from certain death. The cynical emotions of Mr. Kaiba have clearly influenced you. Do not discredit what you have not seen," he voiced as if scolding you. You sighed and looked him square in the face.
"I apologize," you said quietly. "Will you please explain this all to me now? You promised an explanation, and I feel like I deserve one after almost dying in Yugi's hands."
"Miss Walters, I will do my best, but I must make this quick," he said glancing around nervously, as if someone was hiding in the sea of sand. "Yugi did not try to kill you. Yami tried to kill you. Yugi is wearing a necklace from ancient Egypt. His necklace houses the spirit of an ancient pharaoh who can possess Yugi and use his body as he sees fit. This pharaoh was and still is very cruel. He had a kingdom in ancient Egypt, and the people of his kingdom were under great oppression and feared him. However, there was a neighboring kingdom, ruled by a Priest and his beautiful wife. Priest Seto and his wife Kisara loved their kingdom. They would have done anything to see their people safe and free of Yami's persecution. Sadly, Yami knew of their kingdom and invaded it one night with the intent to pillage, rape, and kill. He wanted Priest Seto and Kisara dead, and to be able to rule with an iron fist over all of Egypt. They vowed not to let this happen, but Yami was strong and his army came with the intent to destroy. Kisara was kidnapped from the kingdom while trying to save children from the army. She was brought back to Yami's kingdom in an attempt to lure Priest Seto from his safety net and into harm's way. It went according to plan, and Priest Seto soon arrived in Yami's kingdom. Yami challenged Priest Seto to a game of duel monsters. If Priest Seto were to win, he could take Kisara back to his kingdom, and they would let them live in peace. However, if Yami were to win, their kingdom would be his, and Priest Seto's life would be in his hands. Priest Seto accepted only to save his only love. It was an epic battle between the two. The duel lasted longer than any other, but Yami was still slowly beating Priest Kaiba. Kisara saw her love losing, and knew not only his life was on the line, but so was everyone in her perfect kingdom. In an attempt to save her kingdom, she offered herself up. Her inner Ka of the blue eyes white dragon emerged and won the battle for Priest Kaiba. Sadly, she sacrificed herself in the process but saved the lives of all in her kingdom. Miss Walters...you are Kisara. The Ka of the blues eyes white dragon is within you. Seto Kaiba must accept his fate...or history is destined to repeat itself. As I had suspected, Yami sensed you and Mr. Kaiba becoming close again. He tried to stop you before any connection could be made but clearly your inner Ka is much stronger than ever before. I don't know what will come of this...it's all a mystery from here."
You felt your eyes growing huge. You knew your mouth was hanging open, and you had a stupid look on your face, but you couldn't help it. Did this man really expect you to just take all of this for granted and believe his every word?
"I...I..." you began to stammer, but he stopped you immediately by placing his finger to your lips.
"Bre, you have a great power inside of you. You will use it for greater good and will save many. Yami will make another attack before. I know he has big plans; I'm just not sure what they are yet. I ask that you take great care of yourself and remember to be precautions. Until we meet again, that is all I will be able to say. Tell Kaiba I said hello when you see him at the hospital. Until then, goodbye my sweet Kisara."
You tried to say something, but the words wouldn't escape your lips. You tried to grab onto the stranger as you felt yourself falling backwards, but you couldn't grab him in time. You quickly found yourself falling in the deep black surrounding you and let yourself go. You felt the sensation die away, and slowly, attempted to open your eyes and greet whatever was waiting for you on the other side.
