Chapter four- The White Raven
As I aproached the arena, it was not hard to see how old it was. It was evening now, and the bright lights illuminating the feild flickered out for a moment every few turns. A sign taped to te side listed the prices for various game lengths, based on the number of cards in both players decks. An older boy was dueling on the far side of the feild, cringing as his holographic monster fell, and his lifepoints dropped to zero. The crowd that had gathered around the closer side erupted in cheering, and chants of "Raven! Raven!" could be heard as the victor bowed slightly to her fans.
She was much younger then I had expected, only 12 or 13 at most. Unlike most duelists from this sort of background, she carried herself with an air of dignity unmatched by those arround her. In sharp contrast to the grungy arena, she wore a formal suit and matching top hat, which gave her the appearence of a rather sucessful undertaker. The bangs that were left hanging out from the front of her hat were pure white, and decended to cover much of her face. Her skin was almost as pale as her hair, conpleating the gostly appearance.
As she climbed down from the arena, the boy I had just defeated pushed through the crowed and yelled something up at her. She paused to listne, then said something back. He replied by pointing in my direction. She nodded, and motioned for the crowd to part, letting her walk up to me without having to push through them.
"You wish to challenge me?" she asked, looking up at me with a blank expression on her face.
"Yes." I replied,
"And just who are you to think you can defeat the White Raven?"
I chanted something under my breath, a rather useless little spell I had learnt during my search for magic strong enough to bring back my beloved. I had thought it wad the reverse to a 'die spell', but the worthless old warlock who sold it to me had misspelt the word, and it turned out to be the reverse to a 'dye spell'. My hair colour returned to normal as I lowered my hood.
"I am Maxamillion Pegasus, creator of duel monsters." I said in answer to her question, starting a wave of astonished gasps running through the crowd, followed by exited wispers.
"Fair enough." She said, trying to keep a look of astonishment off her face, but failing. Despite her amazement, she calmly walked back to the dueling station and climed back up, motioning for me to take my place at the other side of the feild. I walked over, and slipped the requiered coins into the slot, then placed my deck down and drew my hand.
It wasnt a bad hand, but not by any streach my best. I had my Toonworld, of course, and my Doppledanger. The last three were a despell card, a set of magic hats (which I had put into my deck after a certain duel with a rather agrivating Pharoh who shall remain nameless) and one of my three Emerald Eyes Ruby Dragons, a triplet of cards almost identical to the legendary blue eyes.
I motioned for her to start as she looked up from her hand. Under normal circumstances, the challenger is always the one to go first, but since she needed every advantage she could get, she gratefully took the first move.
"I lay one card face down, and play Sparrow Queen(600/600) in defense mode." She said, placing a card in one of her magic/trap slots and laying down her sparrow card. Not a particularly strong card, but one with an interesting power: the ability to summon four Sparrows each turn. Sparrow swarms were very useful in defense mode, not unlike using a multiply card on a weak monster.
Of course, swarms were useless against the Gorgon's eye, I said, concentrating as I drew my next card, which was, of course, the trap card I needed to stop her swarm tecnique. But there was still the face down card to worry about. With the ease of years of practice, I peered into her mind, concentrating on the face down card. As I mentaly turned the card over, I saw...
Nothing?
I looked again, but once more the face of the card was blocked by a dark shadow.
