Okay, here's another installment of the Egypt fic. Sorry it's so short. Also, Aset was another name for Isis-for the goddess Isis, anyway . ^^ Hope you like it.

Acacia was on a cloud. A beautiful white cloud. So this is the dwelling of Osiris, she thought peacefully, I am in the Afterworld, in Elysium. The cloud stopped floating, and it drooped downwards. A figure stepped on to it. Anubis. She bowed down. " My lord," the girl whispered. The half-dog, half man peered down imperiously at her. Then he said-" Wake up." Acacia glanced up, confused. " Wake up. Wake up. Wake up...."
" AHHHHHHHH!!!" The Mystical Elf was there again...along with a new creature, the Legend Devil, as she recognized it from her father's dueling. The girl backed up against the headboard, her tanned face ashen. The Legend Devil seemed startled, but the Mystical Elf gave a comforting smile. They both parted as a new figure entered. Acacia immediately scowled as she realized it was the same person in the cloak, whom she still needed a name for. His lavender eyes lighted up mysteriously and his face split into a sadistic smile. Holding her hand up to her palpitating heart, she spoke." I'm...supposed...to be...DEAD!" she gasped. Blondie smirked. " An illusion. You've heard of magic?"
Acacia sat blankly, until the fury rose up in her and she stood. Thrusting herself at the man she caught a dead throttle on his throat, staring with matching countenance in her eyes as she glared poison. It was worth about two seconds time, since the Legend Devil grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off his master quickly. " How-dare-you!" she rasped, not noticing that her worst fear was actually holding her back from attacking. The blond stared loftily at her, his pale hand massaging his throat as he murmured, " Yami was right. You are wild." Struggling, she was tried in vain to release herself from the Legend Devil's grasp. " Let me go!" she yelled, nearly wailing from her frustration. Curse the man, she thought. " If you give your word you won't run, I'll release you," he answered calmly. The Mystical Elf was still in the back, and Acacia could see a glint of pity in her soft eyes. It just made the girl angrier. She glared harder, her eyes boosted with pride and fury.
Blondie jerked his head. Legend Devil let her go, and she dropped in a chair. As soon as her feet made contact with the ground, the girl nearly jumped up to strangle the man, but caught herself. Gritting her teeth, she leaned back in the chair and raised her arm into the air, mumbling a few ancient words. Bonds shot out of the chair, and she was soon bound tightly to it by white pieces of thick cloth. The man looked surprised, and he hissed, " How did you do that?" Acacia gazed back, and answered vaguely, " I've heard of magic." She turned her head away. Acacia had her own reasons for releasing the bonds. A) This man was so annoying; she needed a physical barrier to stop her from suffocating him B) If she was the one to administer the magic, she could take it back just as easily and C) If that scary duel monster was going to grab her, she was staying seated.
Her attention was forced roughly among the man when he tilted her chin up towards him. Acacia found herself being lost in drowning pools of self-confident light purple. " Where did you learn magic?" he asked, each word dripping in honey-sweet poison. " Tell me your name," she answered, though the look in his eyes made her feel like there was an arrow inches away from her skin. Blondie lost his temper. " I am your MASTER (A/N: Hee h ee. Sorry if that sounds selfish)! You ask no question-your former mistress was a Princess, did you not suffer any consequence?" Acacia stared at him stubbornly, the look clearly stating: ~No~. The man exhaled, exasperated. " Malik. Malik Ishtar. Head of the Military Forces. Pleased?" he answered foully. " Very."
" How did you learn magic?" Acacia averted her eyesight. " You will find out soon enough." Malik leaned over the girl, towering over her, and Acacia had half a mind to release the binds to choke him on the spot. " You will tell me. I order you." Orders. The words frothed like lava about to overflow in her throat, and she opened her mouth to let them fall. " A few petty tricks learned from the Princess compared to your shadow powers? Truly, ~MASTER~, I thought your magical capabilities were above that." The confrontation hung in the little air between the two, a challenge that dared either one of them to move-to blink, to talk, to act. A smooth, delicately cool voice interrupted both. " Malik?" Hiding his surprise, he snapped, " What?" Piercing steel blue orbs stared back into the lilac ones, and a roguish grin crossed his face. " Aset."
