867-5309:Oh my God! Look at all my happy reviews!
Stardust:I'm so proud of you!
867-5309:..You're not jealous?
Stardust:No, Hell no!
867-5309:cool!And yes, I found the 'boats' mistake. I kind of over-read it in my proofreading, I guess. Anyways, I'm going to take this opportunity to say thank you!This was my first story, and I had no idea it would get so many positive reviews.
And by the way,(for the reviewer who asked.) 'The Sword of Angels' is not a real book, but 'The Sword of Shinnara' is. That was what the title was originally going to be, but I wanted to change it at the last second.
Also, thank you to Orion, who is my new personal spellchecker.
Orion:*waves*Hiya.
And Stardust, my best Internet friend!
Stardust:*grins, makes peace sign.*Greetings from Hell...!
Angel of Darkness: Pretty good story.I kinda like it.But i have a few questions.What IS the book about?Why weren't the others sucked in too?Why is Yami involved?Are they replacing characters from the book?Are the there to save that place?Why is the book called The Sword of Angels?If U can anwser those questions,it would be really helpful.
867-5309:Okay. Thank you, Angel. the book's storyline will be the same as the basic plotline in this story, other than a few details. The others aren't sucked in becuase 1)I wrote the story and that's how I wanted it, and 2)becuase the three of them best fit the descriptions in the story, i guess. Yami is involved becuase he's taking the place of The Fallen Angel, a character in the book.Yes, they're replacing the three characters in the book in an Alternate Universe. Yes again, they're basicly there to save the day. The book is called 'The Sword of Angels' becuase...Well, you'll find out in later chapters.Hope that helps!
guyvermage--Thank you!
Shamanic Guardian Lena--Thank you, and there's more to come.
dilanda-Thank you, Sort of, and I cuaght the mistake. ;)
Kleptomaniac Can Opener--Interesting name.Thanks, I never thought It'd be 'fun'.
Emerald Phoenix524--Wow.Yes, Yami is the Fallen Angel. See above about the real book.The storylines may not be the same, but, well, yeah.
Anime Girl--Thank you!I'm working on it. ;)
physh--Thanks.I will.
867-5309:Well, that covers my thanking alot!Now, I'm sure you're wanting to see the rest of my story and not my ramblings, so here we go!
~~~*~~~
Anzu stirred and opened her eyes.
A second before, she'd been in class. There had been a loud noise, then she was falling, and now she was in some sort of old house.An old woman trotted over with a large, musky book.
"Helen!What are you doing, sleeping this late in the day!You have chores, my child, and you still have not mastered the art of Healing!" she scolded. Anzu tilted her head. "Umm..I don't really know what's going on, I though I was in class, dueling--" the old woman interupted her. "Dueling?! The handle of a sword should never touch MY grandduaghter's soft hands. You are a Healer, Helen!Not one of those filthy men who play with blades. Get up off your bed, you must run to The Lotus Village and retrieve your brother Derek. Only God knows what he's been up to with that horrid Magician boy. Ever since The Sword of Angels was stolen, he has been so jittery...Why are you just sitting there, child?! Get going!!"
Anzu yelped and hopped up."Yes ma'am!" she said, and ran out the door.
~~~*~~~
Jou was startled at the sight of the town they just entered. It was full of trees in full blossom, and rose bushes lined the cobblestone streets. Yugi smiled."Wow. This looks like Lotus Village." Yami raised an eyebrow, and Yugi read his confused expression "Oh, I forgot that you haven't read the book, Yami." he said. "The Lotus Village was a beuatiful place that had alot of flowers. To the North of it is the castle, and..." he continued explained things to Yami, while Jou took in his sorroundings.
Suddenly, a girl cried out."Derek!!Derek, where are you?" she ran into the center of the main road, panting. Jou felt that he should help her. "Wassa' matter?" he asked. The girl's eyes sparkled when she saw him. "Oh, Derek! You've come to help me again!" she said. Jou bit his lip. "Uhh, sorry, miss...My name is Jou, not Derek--" he stopped.
'Oh no..' he thought.'...There's no other explanation for this...!' He looked at Yugi, who seemed to be thinking the same thing.Yami was looking irratated at not knowing what was going on.
The girl cleared her throat loudly."Ahem..!" Jou looked back at her. "Derek, now is not the time to be playful. I'm sure you know about how the Sword of Angels was stolen, but now our scouts have returned, and have confirmed our worst fears." Jou knew what was coming, he'd already read this part of the book."Dragon..." he muttered, playing his part.
The girl, who Jou and Yugi knew was Olivia, the King's oldest duaghter, nodded. "Yes, Derek. You, Talis, and the Angel will have to get that Sword back at all costs."
Yugi was explaining things to Yami as Jou and Olivia talked. "So, I'm Talis the Magician, and Jou is Derek, and you're the Fallen Angel." Yami frowned. "But someone else was mentioned in that part from the story on the parchment." he said. Yugi realized what Yami was talking about. "The Healer?" he said, and Yami nodded thoughtfully. "So that's how you saw Lotus Village before we got to it?" he asked. Yugi nodded.
Yami understood now. Yugi was now a Magician, which was why he felt magic around him. And, since Yami wasn't the Game King here, he couldn't go into the Puzzle even if Yugi still had the puzzle with him.
But that didn't explain the magic Yami felt around himself. It was strong, but he wasn't sure what kind of magic it was...
~~~*~~~
Anzu was totally lost.
She had ran out of that house as fast as she could in the strange dress, and barefoot, to get away from that old lady.
The lady had thought Anzu's name was Helen, and that when she said she was dueling, the lady thought it was with swords and not Duel Monsters.The thought of playing with swords made her shiver.
After walknig through the thick woods, she found her way out, and awhile from a small town that was sorrounded bay high walls, with blossoming vines on them. She smiled, and figured that this was Lotus Village.
~~~*~~~
Jou, Yugi, and Yami were following Olivia to the castle where she lived. Many people stopped to stare at the four of them. Yami felt uncomfertable under the murmurs and staring. Yugi heard what most of the people were saying.
"Is that Derek?My, he's grown..."
"Look, it's Olivia, finally out of that castle..."
Yugi flushed a bit. He wasn't used to being a Magician.
~~~*~~~
Anzu entered the town to see a crowd gathering around a tall blonde boy and a girl wearing regal clothing.
Anzu looked a bit closer at the blonde boy...He looked familiar....
"Jounouchi?!"
Jou must not have heard her, becuase he, and Yugi and Yami, started walking off with that girl.
Anzu scratched her head.'What on Earth is going on here? Everyone, me included, is dressed so weird, Jou is the center of attention....' she sighed. "Might as well follow them." she then trudged off to follow her friends.
~~~*~~~
Jou watched the girl infront of him.
'This has to be some crazy dream....' he thought. 'We couldn't be...*in* the book, could we? I mean, that's just crazy...'
But when he looked back and saw that Yugi and Yami were conversing via mental link, he reconsidered. 'Well, I guess with the whole deal with Yami should make me think this sort of thing could happen. But..of all things...'
Olivia stopped, and Jou ran into her."Ooof..!Ooops, sorry..." he said, brushing himself off. Olivia blushed."That's okay, Derek...um, well we're at the castle." she said. Yugi and Yami snapped out of it.
Jou sighed and half-listened to Olivia as they walked into the huge castle. He'd already heard this from reading the book...
~~~*~~~
Anzu had a hard time trying to catch up with her friends. The crowds in the village were crazy. But, she eventualy cuaght up.
Jou wasn't listening to the girl who was talking. He looked like he was thinking hard about something. Which, as far as Anzu was concerened, was a real development for Jou.
So, after following them for awhile, she finally cuaght up to them.
"Hey guys!" she yelled, running after them. Olivia glared at her as the three boys' jaws dropped.
"I dunno where we are, but it's so creepy..." she said. Jou raised his eyebrows. "Umm..Anzu, there's something I should tell you..."
~~~*~~~
867-5309:Geez. Smaller chapter.Sorry, but it was taking me longer than anticipated to get this chapter done.So, please wait patiently while I type the next chapter, okay?
