*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Forever unable to leave this place
Only because here there's a scenery that i'm familiar with
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My name you need not know. Who I am, it does not matter. I was alive in ancient egypt, when the Shadow Games were real. I am alive now, when many people do not believe that magic even exists.
I was there, when they were sealed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
If one day i were to return here again
Using the same eyes to gaze at the same sky
Will i still feel that it is just as beautiful ?
Maybe i am thinking too much
i should go sleep and talk about it tomorrow
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was there when the Ancient Gods wreaked havoc on the world. I was there when all became quiet. I was there when Egypt fell under siege. I was there when the last of the great Pyramids were finished. I sealed His tomb, after all.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The step that is unable to be taken because of cowardice
As time goes by
Unconsciouly it becomes a long road
It feels like everything is too late
Slowly , i realise that the place i am in now is not too
bad either
i found myself a few good excuses
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was one of the ones who gave their lives to seal the magic of the Gods away, what the High Priests and Priestesses still had once the Shadow Realm was gone. That is how I am here, for that matter. I was reborn. I remembered everything. I was a baby in a world of thngs I did not know. I grew up as nomral as a child with a full memory of a previous life could...
I am forever unable to abandon this place, because it is so familiar to me... IT is where I lived once, in my single other previous existance, between Then and Now. The scenery I am so familiar with here... it gives me roots where they do not belong.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
To tell the truth , i have never understood
but i acted like i knew everything
Forever unable to leave this place
Only because here there's a scenery that i'm familiar with
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My soul belongs to a place and time far away... To the people of there and then... to my home...
Oh the pride of being a High Priestess, beholden to Anubis, the God of Death... and a God of knowledge that the living are not supposed to know. The pride we all had... that we gave up in that last moment, when the price for the Seal was paid...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All the feelings are so small it's not worth mentioning
It seems like it is just a slight brush
or maybe it is because the sky that you see when you raise
your head is too wide and endless
or maybe it is because i wish to stay by your side
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
But that is enough of my past.
I moved to Domino several years ago, and discovered a group of people- who, at the time, did not know each other- who reminded me of those from the past.
Pharoh. Tomb Robber. High Guard. Priest. Confidant. Seer. Murderer. Slave. Bodyguard. Shrine Maiden. They, and others who had been there...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
even though it cannot be anymore clear in my head
but those strangers who brush by your shoulders
are still making me to look back with envy
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Now.... Now I watch them through their struggles. No, I do not help out. I cannot. I dare not. After all, what troubles would arise from my interference? No, thewy are destined to face their challenges without me. Without the memories of a long-ago ally. Withut me. I was Anubis's servant, His mouthpiece. Yes, I was one of the Hiogh Priests and Priestesses who helped Seal the great Pharoh... I regret the forced choice to this day. He deserved a better fate than to be locked away in a Puzzle for five thousand and thirty-two years. He was a good man, if cold in the very end. Then again, who *would* cling to the few friends they had when they knew they were going to die in a few days?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Longing for something that you don't have
how long do you want to continue wishing for it ?
When i begin to understand that feeling like this
started from the time i met you .
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They do not know me, though they have now gotten past some of the toughest struggles of their lives. If I have a say in the matter, they will *never* know me.
Again, it is for the best.
Unlike them, I dare not mess with what is to be. They do so, and they will be the ones who can win... because of who they are, and their close bonds with each other.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Everything is in these pair of hands
Dreams cannot just be thrown here
Everything is in these pair of hands
Denying the pre-arranged future
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Now, I will explain why I have left my secrecy, and sit at my computer, typing this.
I know why Yugi is forever trusting, why Mokuba is always cheerful, why Joey is so fiercely loyal, why Seto Kaiba shows his softer side only to his brother, why Mai is close to Joey, and even why Weevil will do anything to win.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Everything is in these pair of hands
If there is not action , how can there be movement ?
Everything is in these pair of hands
If you dont take the first step , how can there be a beginning ?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I will start in no particular order, and continue in the same. I have not the courage at the moment to tell of some, which is why some stories will wait.
I came to give my explanations.
Just as you are sitting there now, reading them.
Take a comfortable seat, and make yourself at home. I will begin telling you about the people whose fate it is to rescue the world- or support the ones who will- or even attempt to bring about its downfall.
... and if you must give me a name...
Call me Yamiko.
