CHAPTER 3 - THE CASTLE OF DARK ILLUSIONS
_______________________________________________________________________________
"So then the High Priest Summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
The four year old Heart gazed at her father. "Then what?"
"Well..."
Suddenly the dream changed. Heart was older maybe nine now she was all alone in a dark room.
"Daddy?"
"He's gone."
"Mama?"
"The ring called him."
"The Ring? But why?"
"We all must answer the call of the items and the master's in their own, they give us our immortality even if we must leave out families behind."
"No."
"Heart..."
"No! I want Dad! I swear by all the items and the masters I will not become a slave!"
"Heart you don't know what your are saying!"
"Yes I do! I swear!"
Heart's mother slapped her across the face tears in her eyes. "Don't you think I miss him too! Don't you think that I'll miss you when ever the ring calls me too!"
"Mama I..."
Change of Heart was woken by Dark Magician Girl ripping the Celtic Guardian's cape off her.
"We're moving out Magic Card." She said.
Change of Heart nodded took off after the others. Above the clouds since it was still light. She noticed that Harpy lady was sleeping on her dragons neck. Change of Heart thought she hadn't had any sleep.
Suddenly the dragons stopped and began to circle. Change of Heart came a close as she dared to see what had caused the group to stop. Right below them was the floating Castle of Dark Illusions.
"If we can break in there, think of the power up's we could get." Said the Celtic Guardian .
"Who needs power up's with the all the Magicians and elves in this group?" The red Archery girl said her clam opened just enough for her voice to escape but not enough that she could see how high they were.
Change of Heart watched below them as the monster discussed if it was worth chancing an attack on the castle to see what was inside or just continuing on.
The Mystic Elf and her sister the Dark Elf, Neo the Magic Swordsman, Harpy's Dragon baby Dragon and The red Archery Girl were against it. Surprisingly so was Dark magician girl.
The Dark Magician, The Magician of Black Chaos, Red-Eye's Black Dragon, Celtic Guardian and Harpy Lady was all for it.
"Pay them back for what they done to Flame!" Harpy Lady said. Harpy's Dragon Changed it's vote to match it's masters. Dark Witch was undecided.
Six for six and Change of Heart was too scared to vote, ether way Six of the monsters will like her even less. She looked down and saw a Zombie Dragon Carrying The Empress Judge to the Castle Her long red hair flowing behind her like blood.. Now why would she be going to the Castle?
She but her lip, the others were looking at her she could feel it, they wanted her opinion since they were at a stalemate.
The Empress Judge was stronger than half of them, no one else seemed to have noticed her if they were attacked more of them would be killed. Then she grinned. Folded her wings and dived.
The Magician of Black Chaos dove after her only to be cut off but the staffs of both the Dark Magician and his sister.
"Dar? Magi?" He asked.
"If she wants to throw away be life let her." Dark Magician Girl said.
"If you go after her you'll give away where we are." Dark Magician said to the Magician of Black Chaos while glaring at his sister.
"Heart..." The Magician of Black Chaos whispered.
The Zombie that carried The Empress Judge felt something drop past his left side but it wasn't an attack, or a monster so didn't do anything about it. After all it was just a Zombie it only done what it was told and it was told to take the Judge to the castle.
Change of Heart dropped like a stone past the dragon before flapping her wings as hard as she could to come up the other side of the dragon.
Like a sucker The Empress Judge was looking at where she had fallen past and not where she was right now. She dived at the Empress entering her body from her back and taking control of her heart.
The dragon landed on the edge of the Castle and the Empress jumped off. Change of heart knew what she had come her for she had stolen the information from The Empress Judge's twin minds. She had never been inside a Fusion Monster before. It was odd but she couldn't have let anyone risk their lives.
The Empress would be working with the Black Lustre Knight to catch her and her friends. She came here for power up's for her hunting group.
Change of Heart won't let that happen. Still inside the Judges body she walked into the castle like she owned it. Using the Empress's confidence and memories to fool everyone. Everyone fled before she was one of the strongest monster in the Castle right now, no one would bother her.
She entered the armoury, good she was the only one here.
She gasped at what she saw, all of which were useless to her but she grabbed a bag and filled it with what she thought the group could use, including: Rose whip, Cosmic Armour, Sword of dark destruction, Book of secret arts, Kunai with chain, Dragon Nails, The tears of a mermaid And the fairy bow and arrow. Then she noticed he saw shelves of a nice looking jewels They were purple hand one end was set in a strange design which reminded Change of Heart of wings, she didn't know what they were but they were beautiful. She took two, one in case they found a use for it and one for her to keep.
There was a note book nearby. Using the Quill from the Book of Secret Arts she wrote what she had taken from the memories of The Empress Judge about the hunting party and left.
Once The Empress Judge was in the open air Change of Heart left her.
"Guards!" She shouted. "Guards!"
Various Zombies and Fiends came to The Empress Judge's side but Change of Heart was already beating her wings for her life.
Suddenly there was a blast behind her.
She turned to see the Castle burning. The larger dragons and all the Magicians were blasting it to smithereens.
Harpy Lady and Baby Dragon were flying towards her.
"Smart. Now we can destroy the Castle with all the monsters still trapped in there without fighting through them to get to the armoury." Harpy Lady said.
Change of Heart sighed. They were her enemies, there was no point in morning them but she would still regret their deaths, She had done all this so no one had to die.
"Don't tell me you forgot Heart?" Harpy Lady laughed bitterly when she saw the expression on the Magic's face. "Those monsters aren't going to die really, their bonded to their cards remember, they'll be okay, unfortunately. Now come on, Dar said we'll have to move fast after this so you'll have to ride one of the dragons, so will the baby here, me, Itch and Magi, we're to slow."
Change of Heat nodded She'd wait to see which dragon Dark Magician Girl was going to ride, then chose the other.
