Attara: Okay, it's the time you've all been waiting for!
Aria: This fic's finally going to end!!
Attara: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Last time we left off where Aria destroyed the realm of Drena. Oh, and this chapter is still in Devi's point of view!
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps… I walked onto my white marble balcony and kept my eyes concentrated on the floor. There, in front of the golden rail, stood countless amount of people that stretched as far as my eyes could see, which was quite far, considering that I was magical and all that. But, of course, these were the residents of the realm of Mornedra, and a realm is pretty large.
The good news: I had regained my magic. The bad news: a realm has disappeared from space and time along with many innocent people.
"Good morning, my Mornedraians." I began.
Some of them winced when they had heard my voice. Their thoughts bombarded my mind and through that, I felt their anger. I hate you, Seraph! What did you do to our queen? I will never bow to you! And other similar outbursts were sent into my senses. I held my head. It's more painful than you'd think since I'm used to only having a couple hundred people thinking around me…maximum! But this was just too much.
"I am Queen Devi. I feel you have great doubts of my claim, but it is true." I spoke when I felt the multiple brain waves overwhelming my mind. "And to prove it, I shall show you…" I summoned my staff.
The direth was still unharmed although it had reflected immense power just several hours ago. It gleamed in the morning sun. The crowd whispered at the sight. Several seconds had passed when they decided that I was truly Devi. They bowed before me. I nodded as I felt the anger gradually cease.
"We are no longer slaves to those barbarians, and it will never happen again. Unfortunately, there has been…an accident. The kingdom of Drena has been destroyed under stressful circumstances, and we must honor those innocent citizens who have sacrificed their lives for us, although it was unintentional."
There was silence, a solemn silence that could sadden anyone…with feelings.
"Clef?" I turned to my right.
"Yes, my queen?"
"Dismiss them after the news has sunk in."
"As you wish, your highness."
I quietly exited the balcony, which led to my room, and I descended the spiral staircase. I felt my long cape sweep the carpeted marble steps. It's the little things that you miss when you're gone, isn't it?
I could see Aria still a bit melancholy and Seto staring at the floor, apparently in deep thought.
"It's all right, Aria." I whispered with feigned sympathy.
She looked up with brown eyes that contrasted mine so minutely, but had altered each of our appearances so greatly.
"I killed so many undeserving people." She said as if in a trance.
"No, Seraph did." I said firmly.
"But I had not been watching her very well."
"She would have killed you."
Aria kept silent. I sighed.
"Just remember that it wasn't your fault. So, now what are we supposed to do?" I said in a louder tone so Seto would snap out of his reverie.
He looked and narrowed his icy blue eyes.
"I've wasted enough time here. Take me to Earth." He growled.
"Very well, Seto Kaiba." I allowed. "Come, Aria."
She nodded slowly and stood up.
"Let's go." She murmured.
How long has it been since Drena was annihilated--about two weeks?
I smiled. It was not long ago when Aria was finally convinced that the destruction of Drena was not her fault. Now, there had to be some changes made. We were in the Game Shop after school, but we had not exactly been invited. Although that was true, Aria's presence wasn't the most forbidden company.
I was watching her creep up behind Yami. Tiptoeing across the room without making the tiniest noise. That's what she was doing. Her face glowed with happiness and excitement. Aria reached out and covered Yami's violet eyes.
"Guess who." She whispered into his ear.
"C-could it be?" Yami was a bit startled and a similar happiness lit up his face as well.
"I'm back…"
Yami reached out to gently remove Aria's pale hands from his eyes, blinked several times, and turned around. This was done in less than a second's time.
"Aria?!" His tone had shown an expression of a happy surprise.
"Now what kind of guessing is that, you cheater!" Aria giggled.
"Aria!"
"Yes, I think we've established that!" Then, Aria seemed to realize that through this excitement, she forgot her place. "Oh, my highest apologies, King Yami." She said immediately and tilted her head in respect.
"You still love me?"
"Of course I do. It's just that sometimes…we have to choose our priorities… I'm sorry, my pharaoh."
That's when I turned away and exited the shop. They needed a time to be alone, right? After all, I was the reason why they hadn't joined after five milleniums…
Attara: Sorry that was such a short chapter, but there's not much else to talk about without revealing what small idea I'm going to do in the sequel.
Aria: Yami!
Attara: Yes, yes, Yami was there and now you two are a couple again.
Aria: Yami!
Attara: I know!
Aria: Yami!
Attara: Ugh… All right, then. Please review, because if you don't, then I will not produce the sequel, and I just know you're dying to see what happens next!!! By the way, the next story will be shorter than this since I don't have any ideas right now…and…if you happen to give me ANY suggestion, I'll be happy to extend it longer since I can't really think on my feet. But if you can't suggest anything, don't worry about it! The only problem is that we'll have a short sequel, that's all! Ooh, by the way, I'm going to write a biography about Seto Kaiba, and if anyone has any pointers, please give them to me! I need to know any and all information since I have to watch the stupid dubbed television shows, which makes Yami and Malik sound so yucky! Well, please tell me any information, okay? Thanks! ^_^
