Dragon's Daughter, Demon's Hope
Chapter VI
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"This is crazy. It'll never work."
"Of course it'll never work - it was the pharaoh's idea."
"That's a one-way ticket to the Shadow Realm, tomb robber."
"Good. We're going there anyways."
"Yes, but you're not coming back."
"Break it up, guys."
"Stay out of this, Trojan!"
Alvis sat up as what the spirits had said registered. "She took Donovan to the Shadow Realm?"
The pharaoh nodded.
"And we're going after him." It wasn't a question.
Yami nodded again.
"How are we going to get there?"
Zekel Sha broke in. "We can use any Millennium Item, but the Ring works best. After we get in, we're going to have to actually find Morgan as well. We can ask the monsters."
"The monsters?"
"Duel Monsters. They live in the Shadow Realm."
"Oh."
Bakura began to mark a circle on the floor with duct tape. "We'll need everyone inside this circle so I don't have to stretch too much."
This proved to be problematic as all seventeen people tried to fit inside the circle.
Merlin sighed. "All yamis besides Bakura back in your Items, please." Seven spirits disappeared, and the remaining ten people filled the gaps.
The spirit of the Ring nodded. "Right."
The room shifted, and the purple-and-black clouds of the Shadow Realm appeared around them. In the distance was a mass of grey stone that looked something like a castle.
The seven spirits instantly reappeared.
"Whose fortress is that?" asked Yami.
Bakura shaded his eyes and peered at the fortress. "Yours. It's got a big red thing wrapped around it."
"Come on, then," said the pharaoh. "We can ask them if they know where the sorceress lives. No doubt her monsters have their own fortress."
* * * * *
When they reached the fortress, Alvis realized that the "big red thing" was actually a huge dragon with two mouths. Spreading across his face was what might have been a smile.
"PHARAOH." His voice rumbled like thunder. {The gods speak in all caps. Slink's idea.}
Yami nodded to him. "Osiris."
The dragon suddenly disappeared. In its place was a man with green skin, wearing a pharaoh's crown and covered from his neck to his feet in what could only be mummy wrappings, his arms crossed over his chest and holding a rod and flail. The god Osiris.
He nodded back to the pharaoh, then stepped aside to let them in.
They passed through the huge stone gateway and found themselves in a large courtyard, with Duel Monsters scattered around. A Dark Magician and Magician of Black Chaos sparring with their staffs, a Mystical Elf talking to a Kuriboh, a Black Luster Soldier swinging his sword around, and a young woman with white hair sitting on the grass near him.
The spirit of the Puzzle strode across the courtyard and tapped the Dark Magician on the shoulder. The purple-clad magician turned to look at the pharaoh and received a knock on the head from his opponent. He spun around and glared at the Chaos Mage.
"Watch where you're swinging that thing, Chaos!"
Chaos shrugged. "Sorry, Sinistrad."
Sinistrad turned once again to the pharaoh. He smiled. "Hello. I see you brought company." He peered at the large group behind Yami, and waved to Yugi. "Why are you here?"
Alvis spoke up. "We're looking for Morgan le Fay."
Sinistrad blinked at her. "And you are...?"
She stuck out her hand. "Alvis Pendragon."
The magician shook it. "Pendragon, hmm? Anyway. Morgan -"
"My cousin Lucifer is in her sister's deck." This came from the Black Luster Soldier, who had come up behind Sinistrad, followed by the white- haired girl. "She's probably with them. I'm Miles, by the way. And this is Amaranth." He gestured to the girl. She smiled at them, but stared straight ahead with blank blue eyes.
"Lucifer's fortress is a few hour's walk from here, but only a few minutes if I take you," said Amaranth.
There was much confusion over that last statement, but no one said anything.
Chaos spoke up. "You could stay here tonight, if you want," he suggested. "We've got a few spare rooms."
* * * * *
As there were only three spare rooms, the spirits had to make do with their soul rooms in the Items. Senui had grumbled quite a bit, saying something about wanting to sleep in a real bed for once, but he had been satiated with a box of chocolate.
