Day 13: Superstition + Day 19: Failure
The crystal orb shattered.
She tried to see into the future of the boy who beat her best student, and the globe shattered.
She had never seen anything like this before.
Mieru's prophecy came to mind – how Sakaki Yuya would tread the path of victory but would be faced with a crushing defeat and disaster in his wake.
The orb in her hand had briefly glowed blue before a darkness overtook it and shattered it.
For the most part, the duel had gone the way Mieru predicted it, other than her loss. She knew her student. Mieru was not only a great duelist, but a great psychic. Experience had showed her that Mieru was never wrong, even if the true meanings of her readings and prophecies became apparent much after they were made.
And right now, she had a feeling that Mieru's prediction was not about the duel at all.
Mieru tended to jump into conclusions, after all. Just because she interpreted her reading as predicting the result of the duel, that did not mean this was actually the case.
Mieru began the duel by flipping a coin. One side was a demon, and the other was a dragon. The boy's will to become strong and overcome his problems led him to that choice, but…
The boy will be faced with a choice in his future that will affect his destiny. The second coin toss revealed as such. And then…
A great power surrounding him in a cloud of darkness… A cloud of darkness that appeared in the crystal ball…
The dragon in the middle. Once again, the boy was in a mysterious situation, filled with doubt.
The elephant on his far left. Great power. She had seen that with her own eyes.
The bird on his far right. Strong emotions and rising tensions.
The scorpion on his middle left. A treacherous, hidden obstacle.
And the snake on his middle right . A sign that this obstacle was wicked and cunning.
A huge failure awaited him, one that would drown him in darkness.
The Tower that appeared only confirmed it.
In the end, Sakaki Yuya called forth a mysterious power, a dragon born of magic, granted to him by mystical means; a dragon that answered his call much like the Pendulum had done in that duel just a few days ago.
The boy had the soul of a dragon, and dragons answered his call. He was surrounded by darkness and power, plagued by dilemmas and faced with insurmountable obstacles and treachery.
And then, his future would be no more.
Author note: You know, if you think about it, Mieru practically predicted the entire plot of the series during her duel with Yuya. To me at least, by the time the Synchro Dimension arc started, it was pretty obvious to me. So I wanted to write something about this for a while.
Please, read and review!
