trio: hello again! This is chapter 13, part B. Enjoy!
Yami K: WAIT! You have to say the disclaimer!
trio: oh. Right. I hate those. Mokuba?
Mokuba: trio does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters. The mages and Iras/Yami K and Kevin are hers, though!
trio: very good! Here! *throws him BIG Hershey bar*
Seto: *running in* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-*hack, cough*-OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! *takes chocolate from Mokuba* NEVER give Mokuba sugar!
Yami K: too late. He already had a pixy stick.
Seto: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Oh well. Here, Mokuba, you can have this back. *hands Mokuba the chocolate* *realizes where he is* how did I get back here?
trio: well, Yugis-True-Girlfriend requested that we keep torturing you. ^_^
Seto: oh no...*gulp*
trio: I'll torture him as much as I can without getting tortured myself by his fangirls. *evil grin* Yugis-True-Girlfriend, if you'd like to come and torture him yourself, let me know! *to TV* Hey, Fun Rabbit!
Fun Rabbit: Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa! Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa! Heeeeeeeyyyy Kaaaaiiiibaaaa!
Seto: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! *attempts to run out of the room, but magically appears back in the room* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

"Well?" I commanded. Patience may be a virtue, but it's not my virtue. "Who are you?"
"Forgive me for my rudeness. People around here call me Argus," he responded at long last. "I am a reader of minds and souls, by means of these cards. But for the past few years, they haven't really worked the way they did. They don't summon monsters as they used to. Yet they still tell about a person." He smirked, then continued, "Tell me, how many Soul Releases do you have?"
"just those two," I responded. It was true. "Why do you care? And what are the cards telling you?"
Argus turned away, shocked. "It was not a coincidence that those two cards were dealt," he said, trembling in voice and body. "Well, the cards say that you loved someone deeply, but that card was upside down, saying that it ended in tragedy (A/N: sound familiar?). The Soul Release on top of that says that something happened to his soul that caused your sorrow." How did he know?
"The Protector of the Throne," he continued, "shows that you are highly defensive right now. You've proved that to me already." I relaxed my stance.
"Your second Soul Release shows me what I must do." He pulled a necklace from a pouch at his side. "Your soul shall reside in here until it is released."
I stared at him in shock. "How long will that take?" I asked.
"As long as it needs to." He returned to me my cards in their box. "Now," he said making strange gestures with his hands, "I am sorry for this, but it must be done." He muttered something strange, like an incantation. The necklace grew and grew until it swallowed me entirely. It closed up behind me, and I felt darkness pressing in on me from all around. I felt a spell sealing me within the necklace, leaving only my spirit, my soul.

((((((((((BACK IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD...))))))))))
Argus stared at the limp, lifeless body. He gave a small smirk, but let it fade when he remembered what he had to do. He set fire to the girl's dark blue cloak and let the flames consume her body entirely. He left the alley, slowly shaking his head.
But the brown-cloaked mage...
Iras had disappeared. He searched all over the town, but found no trace of her. He saw a green-cloaked man emerge from an alley, shaking his head. "Hey! You there!" he yelled at the man in the green cloak, who looked up. "I am called Runihura. Have you seen my assistant? She was wearing a dark blue cloak, and she has brown hair and blue eyes."
The green-cloaked man looked surprised. "Argus. Sorry 'bout that (1). And I did not realize she was your assistant."
"Was?"
"Master Runihura, I have locked her soul away in this." He held a necklace in front of him, which Runihura took. "I wanted to end her suffering."
"What have you done with her body?"
"Master Runihura, it will be of no use to you, as her only remains are a smoldering pile of ashes." Runihura turned away. "I suggest you keep that necklace, but I warn you never to wear it or let it out of your sight, until you can give it to someone you would trust with your life."
Over the years, Runihura followed Argus' warning. He gave the necklace to a Roman merchant. Over the millennia, the legend of the necklace was lost. It somehow found its way into the Uncommon Adornments (2) warehouse, where it lay in waiting for the person destined to own it.

Yami K: whatever. Please review! *peace/victory sign and wink*
