Chapter 17:
It had been a week since the KaibaCorp spring party now, and much of life had returned to normal. Caleia was at the Turtle Game shop to hang with her dad for the day. They were downstairs, at the moment, unloading some things in the back of the shop.
"So, how was that party last Saturday?" Yami asked Caleia as he handed her a box.
"Fine," Caleia simply replied, not going into detail.
"Anything interesting happen?" Caleia was at a loss, yeah... something did happen..., but it was something that Yami might not like to know.
"Not much," she nonchalantly said.
"Ah." Caleia let out a breath, not having realized that she was holding it.
A sudden pain exploded in Caleia's head. She dropped the box, spilling the cards inside it onto the floor, and clutched her head, backing into a wall and sinking down to the floor. Her screams were muffled through her clenched teeth.
A voice cackled in her head, laughing. "You will come to me, and I will deliver your death!"
Yami jumped off the ladder and rushed over to Caleia. "Caleia! What's wrong?" he asked, getting not response, and not sure whether to touch her, even to help her, for fear of injuring her more.
Caleia couldn't hold it anymore. She let out a piercing scream and fell onto her side. Without thinking of anything further, Yami knew he had to help her. He picked her up and held her. The millennium puzzle around his neck glowed as he poured his own energy into Caleia. With one hand, he stroked her brow.
The pain diminished somewhat, and Caleia's breathing slowed. She grasped control of her own powers, and used them, along with her father's help, to push the pain from her.
She opened her eyes, still taking deep drawls of breath. "Are you alright?" Yami asked gently. Caleia nodded slowly
"Yes, I'll be fine," she told him. He let her go and they both stood up. Caleia, seeing all the cards she had spilled, started gathering them up.
"What was that?" Yami asked as he helped her.
"I don't know," Caleia said softly. The dream she had last week came to her mind, after having been forgotten by her for so long. "It happened last week," she whispered, putting a handful of card packs back into the box.
"What?" Yami asked, barely hearing her whisper. Caleia straightened up, sitting on the ground cross-legged.
"Last week, in the morning. I had a weird dream. I was in some dark void, I couldn't see anything," she began, recalling her dream.
"Go on," Yami urged as he sat across from her.
"There was a voice speaking to me from the darkness-- a man's voice? It was gruff, hoarse, and... menacing... I guess you could say. He said something about... about breaking my blood-- and about ruling the world..."
"Did he say his name?" Yami pushed urgently. Caleia thought for a moment before she answered.
"Mirsa? No. Morsa? No, no. Morsei? Morsei.... yeah, that was it," she said. Yami said something in Ancient Egyptian under his breath, inaudible to Caleia.
"Morsei, Sakahet's son," Yami muttered. "Sakahet, one of my prophets," he explained. "Turned traitor. He seeked to rule both realms. Killed, yes, by your hands, and mine. He had one son, Morsei." Yami look straight at Caleia. "He's of powerful blood-- and it seems that he now seeks to finish his father's work."
"He must be stopped," Caleia said without another thought.
"It is not that simple."
"I overcame him once, I will do it again!" Caleia almost screamed.
"Yes, you did, but your powers are not as developed as they were. They have not developed enough for you to face him!" Yami retorted. Caleia took a sharp breath in annoyance, unable to retort.
Minutes passed in silence as Caleia contemplated her situation. It was interrupted by the ring of her cellphone.
Flipping it open, she answered it. "Caleia."
"Caleia! Oh my gosh!" it was Mokuba, and he sounded distressed. "Seto... tell you... oh my gosh!"
"Mokuba, Mokuba, calm down! Breathe..." Caleia urged, standing up. Yami was perplexed, not knowing what was going on. Mokuba, on the other end of the line, took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit. Caleia could hear that he was crying. "Mokuba, what's wrong?" she asked with gentleness but also with urgency.
"Some dude came.... appeared out of nowhere.... he took Seto!" Mokuba stuttered into the phone. Caleia's eyes grew wide.
"Wh.... what?" she stammered into the phone.
"He came out of nowhere and grabbed Seto! All he said was to tell you; then he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. I don't know what to do, Caleia, you have to help Seto!" Mokuba cried. Caleia was speechless, save for muttering 'oh my Ra' under her breath.
"You will help him, won't you?" Mokuba asked in a pleading voice.
"Of course I will. I have to go now, okay, Mokuba? Stay at KaibaCorp, and don't try to help Seto yourself, you hear me? This is beyond you," Caleia commanded Mokuba.
"Okay, Caleia."
"Promise me."
"I promise."
"I'll bring him back, I promise, no matter what," Caleia reassured him.
"Okay, bye," Mokuba weakly said.
"Bye." They hung up. Caleia breathed heavily, her eyes sharp and fixed with determination.
"I know that look in your eyes," Yami said quietly.
"Morsei has Seto. And I will go bring him back-- even if it's the last thing I do."
