Chapter 12
Seven years passed after that day. And much like Irisa had told her husbands, the visions were no lie, but all true, one terrible event happening after the other. Jounouchi, Mai, their daughter, Ninji, and Yuugi had all left Egypt a week ago to get to safety and be away from the city till someone sent word for them to return back home so they would know weather it was safe or not. Irisa had not gone.
Seth, and Yami had hounded her to no ended about it, but to no anvil did they get their wife to listen, and she had been right she WAS needed at the palace to help do the sealing when Yami would be forced to trap himself inside of the puzzle to just seal the Shadow games. However once it was done Yami begged her to hide someplace, she said she would, but she had lied right through her teeth keeping up a straight poker face when she had done it.
The palace was currently in an uproar over problems occurring in the streets of Egypt Duel Monsters and evil magic's were running ramped through the streets of Egypt, and Seth was out their with his monsters fighting, while Yami and the others all prepared for the fate of the pharaoh. The previous night Irisa, Yami, and Seth had spent one last night in the others arms and love making should something happen, but Yami knew his fate, his soul was to remain inside his puzzle until someone solved it, freeing him of his prison within the thing, and he would be free, but immortal.
Irisa had been preparing for her own fate in hopes of attempting to prevent her own death, however somewhere in the back of her mind she got a sickening feeling deep within the pit of her stomach she would join her parents, and Isis soon in the underworld, with Anubis to guide her on the trip, however before the day had begun, or the sun even rose, she had written a letter it was to be given to her husband Seth, should anything happen to her.
It was for his eyes, and his alone to read should the fate of what she saw of her life happen. She had only seen her dead body, but didn't know how her death happened, all she knew was she had used one of the many spells she had found in Seth's chambers to cast a spell, should she ever be re-born into the world and obtain the necklace again, she would be given back her memories. Only she would be able to access them, and the necklace and all fate and problems dealing with it she would carry yet again.
That was all she could do, should she ever find either of her beloved husbands again. She knew Yami didn't love her these past two years, she had seen him eyeing another women, Tena, was her name, one of her own personal servants. She didn't care though, her heart had fallen for Seth and him, but even still neither her or Yami could deny the lust and little bit of love they still held for the other, not even Tena could take the place she had filled in Yami's heart, she was more like his mother, protective of him, just as Isis had been, he didn't want that, but even still their love held on by a thin thread, and even now nothing could brake that small golden thread that bound them tog her rather closely.
Yami entered the chambers Irisa was in preparing for the spell, he was dressed in his finest garments, she was dressed in a little less, so she was able to move around and fight, but still managed to cover herself well. Yami stood within the entrance watching his wife, friend, lover, and queen as she began hiding some of her weapons on herself. He knew this was the last time he would ever see her, he wanted his last few moments to count. "Irisa…" He said her name softly and noticed her loosen her grip on the dagger she had picked up and turned to look at him. Those lovely violet eyes, the ones he remember he had fallen for nearly 10 years ago, still that same bright spark of life within them, no signs of fear, only a proud and strong soul he'd known forever.
"Yami, shouldn't you be preparing for the fight?" She asked, moving over to her husband, and went to say something else, but was silenced by his fingers going over her mouth to silence her.
"Things are almost done, I just wanted a few moments with you before I left this world." He stated as he took her hand and lead her to the seat balcony, and sat with her, still holding her hands in his own. "I know I've not been a good husband to you these past 7 years, but if there is any consolation, I am sorry beloved, but perhaps you were meant to be my friend only, and to be Seth's wife. I love Tena, but she can never replace the love I've always felt for you, but you remind me of my mother so much." He trailed off lost in the depths of those calm violet eyes.
Irisa smiled and cupped Yami's chin and pulled him close planting a soft kiss on his lips. "I know, I've seen how you both look at the other, and I'm okay with it, you gave me a son, as did Seth, and our son will be just as great as you Yami, but know this, I'm not upset with your choice, I do in all out truth feel more for Seth then I do you, but even so, nobody can replace what you should me, when I first came here I thought you were just an arrogant ruler, but you proved me wrong, and I'm glad I opened up and gave you a chance to get into my heart, and for that I shall always remember it." She replied pulling him into a tight embrace, knowing she would never speak nor talk to him again.
Yami smiled at this and hugged her back in return, she was right he could never forgot their first meeting how things had been for them all 10 years ago, how silly and childish some of the stuff they'd both done had been, but now he understood. "I'll never forget this moment." He whispered into her ear, and pulled them apart a bit, but only to move towards her lips and lock them in a kiss, one last time to remember something warm before he drifted off into his own deep sleep.
After 15 moments of silence and bliss of just sitting their holding one another Simon entered their chambers telling Yami it was time. Yami and Irisa said their goodbyes, both giving one last farewell gift, and each departing their own ways for their fates. WingWeaver appeared beside Irisa and bowed her head to her Mistress. "Where do we head to?" The ever so faithful monster asked.
Irisa glanced to her long time old friend and smiled meekly. "To prepare for the fight that will happen next." She said, however though she looked calm on the outside inside her stomach was a mess of knots, she knew all to well her fate was to come true, as she and WingWeaver proceeded down the long palace hallways.
After five minutes Irisa found her troops positioned in place and moved back and forth to make sure all was in order speaking to some men, wanting them to be alert for ANYTHING, and she didn't care what it was, nobody that didn't belong in the palace was to be slain on site, if they had magic you were to try and kill them as quickly as you could, it was all they could do, Seth and many other Priests were out within the city risking their necks to protect the remaining lives of those that had stayed in Egypt.
Moments seemed to pace, the men had begun to grow nervous or inpatient over the whole manner. However, once the item around Irisa's neck quit glowing and she knew Yami was no longer among them, and it seemed like the air around the palace had dropped considerably low. Almost too low. "Keep your guard up men don't allow anything to catch you off guard." Irisa ordered.
The men did as they were told by their Queen, knowing well from watching her to listen to her. Most of the men she had fought with herself in training to get her leg back to normal, it still wasn't as good as it used to be, but still she was capable to move around fast, just her problem was she wasn't allowed to fight for a long period of time before the pain would kick in, and she knew then she would be a sitting duck.
As if on cue the gates of the palace were blasted open by the fiends that had released the shadow monsters only those that had items were able to summon the Duel Monsters out to assist them. Irisa ordered WingWeave to assist her men, and quickly joined her men with fighting in the hallways of the palace. Her orders were strict, harsh, but she didn't care she would protect the thrown with her life, and make sure her children lived safe, peaceful lives. Death to anyone, and that was what she was doing killing any of the men responsible to the cause of her husband imprisoning himself inside his puzzle, her other one risking his life to save lives in the streets. She was protecting their home now, she wasn't a weak women, she would fight till her time was up.
And so the battle within and outside the palace raged on for two hours, WingWeaver had been injured, but had fought till the end, ignoring the pain though from her broken wings. The fight was over now, but now she was looking for her Mistress, as she stumbled through the palace hallways over dead bodies she looked in open rooms not seeing the women and began to worry, and moved a little faster not caring if her wings were bleeding and she was leaving a nice trail of her own blood because of the wings.
"Lady Irisa!" She finally called out her name, and promised Seth and Yami she would protect her at all costs, but feared the worst of her Mistress vision was right. Moving even quicker now tripping, and stumbling over bodies she made her way towards the dueling chambers, however as she got their she tensed and hesitated to enter, but after 10 seconds forced her tired body to move inside and paled 10 shades white at what she saw, their on the floor lay Irisa in a pool of her own blood dead, the necklace around her neck had fallen off, stained with her blood, her life.
All the duel Monster was able to do was drop to her knees as tears pooled down her face. "Lady Irisa, I failed to protect you." She whispered, and moved over to her Mistress and shut the violet eyes that stared at the ceiling lifelessly. Looking at the dagger that lay on the floor she picked it up and ran her fingers along the blade, and back to her Mistress who now slept and was with her parents in the land of the dead, now with those she loved, and missed. She had done her tasks, and now WingWeaver knew her fate. "I will see you in your next life my Mistress." She whispered, and raising the blade brought it down and right through her chest and into her heart, killing herself instantly.
It would be another 30 minutes before a tired, and weary High Priest Seth reached his palace to find some people cleaning the mess up and others near the dueling arena area with their heads bowed, morning, some crying. Seth stopped the color draining from his face as he felt his heart being torn into pieces at that moment. She couldn't be dead! She couldn't! Were the thoughts that ran rampant in his mind as he pushed people out of his way and ran into the room to find his beloved wife and her faithful Duel Monster on the floor dead.
Seth dropped to his knees in the cold drying blood and pulled Irisa body into his arms and buried his face into the auburn hair sobbing, not caring who saw him. "WHY! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STEAL HER FROM ME!" He shouted through his tears, up at the ceiling to the gods. He couldn't believe how cruel fate was, and never had felt so hurt in all in life, his wife was gone forever, and everything about the vision had become true.
Simon limped towards the morning High Priest and handed him a rolled up piece of paper, bowing his head, as the tear stained High Priest took the paper, that was addressed to him in his wife's writing, and broke the waxed seal and opened it to see more of his wives last writings.
My Beloved Seth,
If you are reading this, I'm no longer among the living. I do not want you to grieve forever for me Seth. I did this out of my own will. Nobody forced me to do anything, not the gods, fate, anything. I will always love you, and our son, but do not push him away just to morn me, even in death I will miss you, your touch, your love, and embrace. I will never forget you Seth, please live for me, do not be sad. Live for me, and our son, he needs his father and Yuugi will need your guidance. I will see you in the afterlife, or in the next life. Goodbye my beloved.
Forever and eternally yours,
Your wife Irisa.
Seth felt the tears leak down his face at those words, but smiled faintly, and tightened his hold on her dead body, as he whispered the words to her, hoping she heard them in death even now. "I will see you in death or the next life we have beloved one, and I won't allow you to ever be hurt again." He whispered, as a single last crystal tear fell down his face landing on the note of his wives name.
Fate has a odd way of doing things, perhaps Irisa's death was the start of something, a sign to the people of Egypt, either way, fate is often never too kind on things, much like Yami, Seth, and Irisa all learned.
The End
Irisa: *cries* so sad you killed me! I can't believe it! *reaches for a box of tissues*
