Dragon's Daughter, Demon's Hope
Chapter I
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Alvis was going through her Duel Monsters deck, examining every card. She smiled at a few of her favorite monsters - Wingweaver, Sword Hunter, Jigen Bakudan, Serpent Night Dragon.... She paused at the last one, and tilted it slightly, watching as the sunlight coming through the plane window made the foil card sparkle and almost seem to be alive.
Alvis was on her way to Japan, as an exchange student to Domino High School. At home in England, she was taking Japanese as a second language. She was almost fluent, and used the few Japanese Duel Monsters cards she owned to practice with the characters.
Alvis twisted the five-pointed star at her throat as she grinned at her Serpent Night Dragon, her favorite card. It was a family heirloom, given to her by her father, and to him by his father. She thought she heard a faint growl, and she twisted in her seat, looking around to see if there was someone with a dog nearby. Nothing.
She frowned slightly and looked down at her black cat, Bastet, who was curled up on the seat beside her. But the cat was asleep, and hadn't made a sound for hours. Alvis shrugged and settled back in the cushy seat to read a book, but soon fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A young man, not more than twenty or so, stood before her. He was dressed in medieval armor. A cloak was draped around his shoulders, held in place by two large garnets. His wild, blue-black hair stuck out oddly. He studied her through sapphire-blue eyes.
"Alvis Pendragon," he murmured, looking at her thoughtfully.
Alvis was confused. "You must be looking for someone else. My last name isn't Pendragon, it's -"
"You know not your lineage, dragon's daughter? King Arthur Pendragon and his son, Mordred, are among your ancestors. You are the one destined to free me from my prison." He turned away from Alvis and began to move toward a door, which seemed to be a huge Duel Monsters card.
"Wait!" called Alvis. "Who are you? What am I supposed to save you from?"
The young man turned back, and smiled. "My name is Donovan. That is all you need to know."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With that, Alvis woke up.
She found that Bastet had climbed into her lap, on top of her book. Her Duel Monsters lay scattered on the seat previously occupied by the cat. She started to put them back into a pile, but stopped as she picked up the Serpent Night Dragon. She thought she noticed something about the card that she'd never noticed before, but she couldn't place it. Then it hit her - the dragon's crest was like unruly blue-black hair, and its eyes were like garnets. It all came together.
The single line of text on the Serpent Night Dragon card said that it was "a dragon created from the soul of a wicked knight." The man in her dream had been dressed in a knight's armor.
Donovan was the Serpent Night Dragon. And she was a descendant of King Arthur? And Mordred, his son, the one who had killed him? She shook her head. It was just a dream, she told herself. Wasn't it?

GF: Ra! Mut! Nut! Khnum! Ptah! Sob-
Donovan: Stop! STOP! I can't deal with it anymore! I've been listening to this throughout the entire chapter! Why are you so excited?!?!
GF: I have all three GOD CARDS! AND two Exodias! AND two BEWDs! *bounces all over the place*
Donovan: And where'd you get all these...?
GF: In a collectibles store in the mall! They came in a pack of 50 cards - for $15!!! But they're in Chinese - yes, Chinese, not Japanese - so I have to look up each Magic, Trap, and Effect card to find out what it does. I know how the God Cards work, though! *nodnod* Ooh, I forgot! The Exodia cards are weird - the whole monster's on ONE card! Does anyone know how those work? I couldn't find them on-line.
Donovan: So I guess I'm not special anymore...
GF: Ack! Don't say that! You'll always be my most favorite card! *hugs* You're SHINY! And I found you in a BOOSTER PACK, so you're doubly special! Plus you've got a STORY and a PERSONALITY, which neither Exodia nor the God Cards have. Besides, they're fake. Anyway, PLEASE review! I have to go write Chapter II now...
