Chapter 1
Paradise awaits
Marinette POV
Good bye Paris, and good riddance. You used me for your own selfish needs and never considered my feelings for any events that transpired. So good bye Alta, good bye Rose, good bye everyone, you will not be missed. But, my parents and I decided it was time to spread our wings and fly away. After all, I have two careers to focus: being a fashion designer and being a duelist. As for my deck, it's a new archetype called Fashinsects. I would tell you their play style, but all you really need to know is that they have Fusion, Synchro and Xyz monsters in their arsenal. I had already gotten several commissions from famous duelists that want my designs to be present on them when they duel. However, despite my fame, I am not a pro-duelist. So let's start betting on how many duel schools in the city are gonna fight over me?
What? Who wouldn't want to have an aspiring young fashion designer who is also a duelist attending their duel school. It wasn't that long before we landed at Paradise Airport and we had to go through customs in order to get our residency establish. Afterwards, we headed to our new bakery. It was quite a big building, with four stories. One for the Bakery, one for the living room, kitchen and game room, one for my parent's bedroom and one for my bedroom. In less than a day, our new Dupain-Cheng Bakery was open for business.
We were an instant hit, people from all over the city came to see us. It was the After school run, and I saw the most peculiar person. He wore a long-sleeved dark blue shirt, white trousers, white shoes, a red scarf around his neck, red rimmed glasses and a head of whiteish-grey hair.
"May I speak with your daughter please" he asked.
"Marinette", called my mom. "Someone's here to see you". I walked down the stairs to see the man with his hands behind his back.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Declan Akaba", said the man. "And I have a proposition for you".
