Akina Tori: I don't own squat, so let's get on with writing, and you reading!
-------------------------------------
Skuld peaked out of the wooden doorway, to see the girls who have faint from her blood now revived, and were also chattering about. Skuld could smell a strong scent of alcohol, of course, near the bar side of the room. Skuld walked out of the healing room, as she pinned her brooch on the front of her brown dress.
Skuld just sat down in one of the over stuffed chairs, and watched the crowd talk, laugh, drink, and yell in the room.
Suddenly women surrounded Skuld, while she just looked at them in a confused way.
"What?" she snapped.
"We were wondering… What's it like to duel those Red Card duelests," said one.
"Yeah, we heard they were the best of the best!" another continued.
"I want to know what happened to you," said what seemed like the oldest. Skuld just sighed.
"Alright.. Don't go gossiping on it, ok?" said Skuld, with a sigh.
"We won't," all of the women replied in a chime, and then Skuld told them.
She told them about her first battle with Tea, the hooded figure when she entered Tristan's castle. When she got to her hurt back, she didn't give the full detail about her angel. She just told them someone stabbed her in the back with their spear, which was practically true.
Each the women exchanged looks, and did a few silent "wow"s. She even exchanged a few tips on how to duel, like relying and asking to their deck leaders for advice on what to do, and to power up their cards when they get the chance.
For once, Skuld was able to have a little fun on this "curse".
Until an incident happened.
"So, which card now? Mystical Elf, or Harpy Lady?" asked the older woman.
"Harpy Lady is the one needed in power-uping," corrected Skuld, and a few woman giggled.
"I see your having fun," said Isis, behind her chair. Skuld just looked up.
"You can say--" before Skuld could answer, there where huge bangs on the wooden door. A few women gasped, while the men turned around in their chairs to see what was happening.
Three more large bangs, and the wooden door came down easily.
The people where shadowed, but Skuld could tell their male, because of their broad shoulders. The middle one, who seemed to have large spiky hair, did a single hand movement and, what Skuld could tell now since they were in the light, where armored guards.
"Find the Rose Duelest, and capture her. I would prefer if she was alive!" commanded a baritone voice.
The bearers of a white rose scattered off, some hid in rooms, others went off summoning their deck leaders to fight off the guards. Yet Isis didn't hesitate to pull Skuld out of the chair, and lead hid her by a wall.
"Malik! Malik, where are you?" Isis hissed out, as her eyes lied onto a young boy who has blonde hair, and violet eyes similar to Isis's. This young boy was fighting off a few guards with his deck leader, Orion the Battle King. Then the young boy turned around at Isis's words, running towards her with a huge grin.
"Sister! Did you see me? I actually made some guards go away!" said this young boy named Malik.
"Yes I did, but it's now time to go. Common', we don't have much time," said Isis, as she looked around in a paranoid way, and quickly ran a few steps towards a split in two direction. Left or Right. Isis looked both ways, and went down the right.
"Common' you two!" she exclaimed, and as if at queue, the boy named Malik and Skuld followed Isis.
The three ran down the long hall way of bricked walls, and moist, pure dirt as the ground. They reached an old, decaying wood trap door up at the ceiling with wooden stairs. Isis climbed the stairway carefully and opened up the trap door, releasing light into the hallway, seeing as the dark clouds have parted. Isis then reached the true ground, and beckoned Malik to come next. He did as he was told, and Skuld was next.
She heard yelling echoing down to where she was. Guards were coming, and fast. Skuld quickly went up stairs, and shuts the trap door with a huge "BOOM!".
Then she started to chant an old language that seems to be here since the beginning of time. To Malik and Isis, it was a beautiful song. One that the words seemed like a flowing river, with sentences that seemed never ending.
The trap door suddenly glowed with different letter that neither of the two siblings can understand, but each letter, or word, seemed like a beautifully carved artwork.
Then Skuld was finished, and she just made a complex spell that will make no one exit or enter from this trap door; unless she comes back here in present day time to release the spell.
"So, I finally scared you out," said that same baritone voice earlier. The three spun around to see the adversary against the Yorks.
"YAMI!?" yelled out Skuld, as she approached the male who looks like the one she spoken until she was at least a foot away.
"How did you get here? Were you the one who planned this? Ooooooooh, once you take me out of here, your going to get your butt whooped all the way down to Niflheim!" bellowed Skuld, while the Yami-looking person didn't even flinched.
"I'm not the one you think called Yami, but I am called Prince Henry Tutor, even to you," he said, with deadly venom dripping from his voice, and Skuld did a face fualt.
"Your.. Not Yami? Eep," said Skuld, and she backed up a few steps. Suddenly the cards Witch of the Black Forest and Orion the Battle King appeared behind Skuld.
"Skuld! Go, NOW! We'll handle him while you escape!" cried out Isis.
"Yeah Ms.Rose Duelist--Lady, we've got your back!" called out Malik, with a childlike smile. Skuld just smiled back, and she took off to the right at full sprint, not looking behind.
At least a half an hour later, she made to a beach, and she stepped on it's white foamed shore. She looked back behind her, and she could've sworn to hear a young child's yell of "NO!"; that was filled with pain and fury.
"I'll come back, don't worry," said Skuld, and the water grew around her, swarming all around her until she was completely covered. Then she vanished into her dimension of Hyperspace, leading her to her next town.
