R Amythest: nothing really to say except enjoy!
******************Chapter Six: Secrets of the Village******************
I woke up to a flash of light. Just a flash? Why not a beam, like always? Waking up further, I hear arguing. I opened my eyes and found Leafe and Shimmer arguing over the curtains, open, close, open, close, and so it went.
Leaving them to their lively debate, I went into the bathroom, which Shimmer had shown me the day before. It really wasn't much of a bathroom. It was just a pump, which was the only source of running water, a bucket, and a. . . um. . . -water closet.- You know what that is, don't you? They didn't have a shower, so you had to strip and wash yourself with a towel in COLD WATER. Even worse, they didn't have a lock, or at least a proper one. The lock was a simple latch, which could be opened with a simple shove. Pretty stupid.
So I carefully set down my armor, which was surprisingly not heavy. I set my staff on the counter, and tried for the first time this method of cleaning. I heard the argument in the nearby room grow louder and louder. Someone stomped out into the hallway towards the door. I froze. The door burst open and I was left hiding behind a miniature towel that barely hung down to my waist.
"YOU KNEW YUGI WAS HERE? DIDN'T YOU?! OH, YEAH, GO TO THE BATHROOM AND COOL OFF, LEAFE!" Leafe yelled. Shimmer fluttered over.
"YOU'RE THE PESSIMISTIC JERK WITH A BUSH GROWING ON YOUR BACK!!!" screamed, sort of squeaked, Shimmer.
Both seemed totally indifferent to the fact that I was standing in front of them, half-naked. Hoping they wouldn't notice, I reached for the armor lying on the floor. I was about to slip my armor on when. . .
"Hey Yugi!" Tea popped her head in the doorway. "We're having-" She froze in the middle of her sentence and stared at me, holding the shirt-armor thing in front of me, as if to defend from an attack.
"And. . . I'll take that as a cue to leave. . ." she squeaked. She inched out the doorway. Joey came running.
"What? Did you tell him we're having waffles?" Joey asked Tea. Upon seeing me, he froze and let out a scream. The whole household came running and stared at me. Shimmer finally stepped in between the crowd and me.
"Okay! That's it! Next time I'll install a tougher lock!" Shimmer ushered the crowd out and slammed the door behind her, causing about a million items on the shelves to fall.
I sighed. This is going to be one of those memorable visits. Making SURE that no one was watching, I slipped on my armor. I went over to organize those bottles that fell. They were labeled 'Headache Remedy,' 'Pain Killer Spell,' and all those other types of spells and cures for everyday pains. Putting some bottles back on the shelves, I concluded that Duel Monsters used magic for nearly everything. I suddenly noticed that one of the bottles spilled. It was labeled 'Knock-Out Gas.' A purple liquid flowed from it, and it evaporated almost on contact with the air. I inched towards the wall, away from the fumes. The purple air quickly filled the whole room. It reached towards me, and I held my breath. I ran towards the door and tried to open it, forcing open the lock. Once outside, I gasped for breath. I ran down the stairs as quickly as I can. The sound of Leafe and Shimmer arguing was still present.
"I KNOCKED OVER SOME SORT OF KNOCKOUT GAS! QUICK!!! WE HAVE TO EVACUATE!!!" I yelled. Everyone turned towards me.
"You knocked over the KNOCKOUT GAS?!" Shimmer screeched.
"OF ALL CLUMSY THINGS, YOU CHOSE TO DO THAT!" Leafe roared. Oh well, at least they're agreeing.
"No time!" I said quickly. I saw the lavender mass floating down the stairs. Everyone else seemed to see it, too. They got off the table and burst out the door, Leafe and Shimmer arguing about who was going out first. Only they would do that.
We watched as the purple haze billowed all around the house.
"That's what you get for being hospitable," Shimmer fumed. "I'm going to get Magest to fix up this mess!" Shimmer stomped out, or rather, flew out, towards the long aisle of shops and magicians.
I watched her leave. "Who's Magest?" I asked to no one in particular.
Myst sighed. "The spellcaster. He's a Mighty Mage, and he's quite nice. Not like SOME duel monsters I know. . ." Myst glared at Leafe, who adverted his gaze and whistled innocently. "Leafe. . ."
"What? I didn't do anything!" Leafe said, raising his hands to the sky. "I'm innocent!"
"Oh really, I know what you did!" snapped Tea, her patience ending. "First you piss off my NICE new friend who was KIND ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU IN amongst all the dirt you carry around, and then you start arguing about installing a curtain when it was HER HOUSE, and then you blame her for telling you to cool off, saying that she KNEW that Yugi was in there, and THEN you argue about going through HER doorway!" Tea shouted at Leafe, who was retreating from the hotheaded Tea who was poking him in the chest and insulting him in every way possible. "And FINALLY, you are not WORTHY of holding the title KING! With your manners, you should be a lowly servant!"
Joey cheered at this. "You tell 'em Tea!"
Leafe finally grumbled in defeat, storming off to Ra-knows-where, stringing curses all the way.
\Hey, you want to know something funny?\
|/Yeah!/|
^PERHAPS!^
I spun around towards the mental voice. Shimmer was flying towards us with a Mighty Mage following her.
^But first, we fix my house!^
"Who's dat?" Joey asked.
"I'm Magest, salutations," the Mighty Mage answered. "Now, what with your house?"
"Knockout gas got spilled!" Shimmer squeaked.
"Ok, then." Magest raised his wand and hummed. A white light surrounded the house, and the lavender gas turned back into a liquid, which Magest put into a bottle he had with him. He screwed the lid shut tightly. "Good thing everyone evacuated. Now, that will be 10 hets.
"Oh shoot," grumbled Shimmer as she dug through the bag attached to her waist. She dug out a shiny silvery coin and handed it to Magest.
"I'll be going, now." With that, Magest turned around and headed back downtown.
Myst, what are hets?
\The duel monsters currency. 10 hets really isn't much, Magest's quite nice, but seeing how poor Shimmer is, it means a lot to her.\
^Yeah. I guess guests really drain your budget.^
Shimmer went back into her house, not telling anyone to follow. "Do you think we should go back inside, or just leave?" I asked timidly.
"Maybe we can go back in, but be careful now," Myst told me. Upon seeing Leafe sulking back, she added a phrase. "And I don't think Leafe's invited."
Leafe shot her a mean glare. "Who said?" No one argued with the cross king of the forests, and all went back in into the old house.
Shimmer snorted as Leafe came back into the household, ready to argue again. I mentally sighed. Those two were always at it.
**AFTER NOON**
"Where are we goin' again?" Joey asked for the third time today.
I sighed. "The weaponry. Shimmer said the shopkeeper's sly and cheats people of their money but I have yet to see." We approached a tent. Sounds of metal filled the place. Shimmer lifted up a flap of the tent and went inside. We followed.
"Ok, we're here to buy four horn of the unicorns, and don't get smart with me!" Shimmer snapped. The shopkeeper turned around, a Maha Vailo.
"Miss, it's been a long time since you last visited, hasn't it?" the Maha Vailo said in a voice somewhat similar to Leafe's, but slightly with a French accent. He reached for a horn on the shelf. Indeed, it was beautiful. It reflected the sun's rays, and I felt a mystical power from it.
Mai flinched. "We're supposed to put those on our HEADS?!"
The Maha Vailo chuckled. "Maybe in your version, but here, you hold it and all the power goes to you."
I eyed a sword on the shelf. It was dark, and it seemed to call out to me. "Um. . . Mister Maha Vailo. . ."
He looked up. "Call me Marvan."
"Mr. Marvan sir, how much is that sword up there?"
He stared at me with bulging eyes, and trembling fingers. He put on gloves and reached for the sword. "The Sword of Dark Destruction is a powerful item indeed, but no one has ever dared to tame it." Marvan brought the sword to me and set it on the counter. Everyone except me fidgeted and stepped back. I, however, was pulled towards it, almost like it had chosen me. I reached for it. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes.
"Here goes. . ." I whispered. I grasped its handle. It emitted a strong light and merged with my staff. It was now a sword, of the darkest shade of violet, with a stone-embedded hilt.
Marvan gulped. "Yes, indeed, it has chosen you. Use it well." He turned around to work on a mace.
"But wait, doesn't it cost something?" I asked.
Marvan turned around. "You WANT to pay me?"
"Uh, no."
Marvan returned to his work. "Then leave, and get on with it!"
I turned to leave, the whole group staring at me. Finally, Shimmer broke the silence. "That's the first time he didn't ask for money!" ^and probably the last.^
Joey interrupted the mysterious atmosphere. "Didn't we go for the horn of the unicorns?"
"Joey?" Leafe started.
"Ya?"
"Shut up."
