Chapter 4: Tragedy

Chelea had finally recovered from the shock of being discovered that she was a mage, with Yami's help of course. In fact, she didn't believe she could have gotten through it if Yami hadn't been there. Chelea was a lot more cautious doin magic now though. She was starting to develop more magical abilities as well. She could sense things before she saw them. Chelea had already been a little physic, which is how she knew Yami was pharaoh. She also started reading the stars.

One day she came to Yami with a concern. "Yami, I've been reading the stars and I am concerned about what they say…" she said.

"Well, what do they say?" Yami asked her.

"Well first they say the mage, Seth, is in love with me…"

"Seth? Oh yes Seth. I never did like him…" Yami said.

Chelea laughed. "I don't even know who he is! Anyway, that's not the worst of it. Something bad is going to happen to both of us. It's going to happen to me first, but I couldn't decipher what it was."

This sparked Yami's interest. "Who's involved and how bad?"

"According to the stars, it's going to be very bad, but we both will live. They say that you, me, Seth, and Aurora are involved."

After that, Chelea and Yami spent as much time as possible with each other. They'd sit and in the courtyard in the evening and watch the sun go down. Chelea would sing wonderful songs she wrote in her spare time. They would talk about anything. They just wanted to hear each other's voices.

A couple weeks later, Yami was really busy. Chelea decided to go into town. After all, she hadn't been there since she moved into the palace. Yami gave her money to spend, but she wasn't planning on it.

She walked around looking at shops while people stared at her. She was used to it by now. Chelea was starting to head back to the palace when she spotted Aurora. Chelea started to yell at her but stopped. 'I wonder where she's going,' Chelea thought to herself.

Chelea's curiosity got the best of her. She followed Aurora to the mage's temple where she heard Aurora talking.

"Hello Seth," she was saying.

"Do you have any information for me?" a man, Chelea guessed to be Seth, asked.

"Yes I do, Seth. In fact, I believe we have a visitor… Mages! Bring me Chelea!"

Chelea didn't have a chance to process what Aurora had said when three pairs of hands grabbed her. She had no time to defend herself. The mages brought her into a brightly lit room and tied her hands together. She looked up and saw Aurora standing next to a man.

"You must be the mage Seth I've been warned about…" Chelea said coldly. Her sudden hatred for Seth surprised her.

"Yes I am," Seth said smoothly. "I have an offer for you."

"And what might that be?" Chelea snapped.

"Come join the other mages and I," he walked over to her and took her face in his right hand. Seth's eyes seem to pierce her soul, which made her hatred grow. "You, my dear Chelea, can be my wife. You and I were meant for each other. We are both mages after all…"

"Never!" Chelea shouted. "I will never join you!"

"Feisty aren't we, Chelea?" he said smugly. "I guess I'm going to have to teach you respect the hard way…"

Seth muttered something Chelea could not hear. All of a sudden, Chelea felt unspeakable pain. It was like her whole body was on fire. She screamed an ear shattering scream, but Seth seemed to be enjoying himself.

* * * * *

Yami sighed. It had been a long day. He was glad he had Chelea to "come home to". He walked to her room, but she wasn't there. Yami asked the other girls where she was. They said she hadn't come back yet.

Yami decided to go looking for Chelea. He changed into his commoners outfit, and went into town. Yami asked around, but nobody had seen her for awhile. He walked around looking for her.

He was close to the mage's temple when he heard a scream. 'Chelea!' he thought, remembering what she had told him about Seth. 'Oh no! Seth!' he thought, running to the temple.

He had no trouble getting in, which he found strange. Yami followed the sound of laughter and screaming. He came to a large room in the center of the temple and saw Chelea trembling on the floor. She was surrounded by mages. Aurora stood next to Seth, both of whom were smirking. Yami narrowed his eyes. He hated Seth for putting Chelea through this pain. He promised himself he would avenge Chelea.

* * * * *

Chelea thought she was going to die. She could sense Yami watching from the shadows and could feel his outrage. Chelea didn't blame him, she was just glad it wasn't him going through this pain.

When Seth stopped he said, "Now will you join us? And be my wife? Or must I teach you more respect?"

"Never! I'll never join you and you must think I'm crazy to think I'd even consider marrying you!" Chelea shouted defiantly.

"Fine. Have it your way," he smirked evilly.

Chelea cried out for Yami as she felt a fresh spasm of pain. This was followed by laughter from the mages and Aurora.

"Yami doesn't even know you're here! He can't help you now," Seth said cruelly.

"I'll have to disagree, Seth," Chelea heard Yami say.

"Pharaoh Yami! Seize him mages!" Seth shouted.

Yami fought the mages as best he could, but they over powered him. The mages held him back as he struggled to get to Chelea.

"Resistance is useless! My mages easily over power you!" Seth said with a cold laugh.

"Let Chelea go you monster!" Yami shouted at Seth.

"Fine. Untie her mages…" Seth grinned his trademark evil grin.

"But Seth-" Aurora started but Seth silenced her with a look.

The mages untied Chelea's hands. She started to run towards Yami.

"Yami!" she yelled.

"Chelea!" he called back to her, the mages still holding him in place.

Seth shouted something and held out a blank dueling card. Chelea stopped halfway to Yami. She screamed in pain and fell backwards, hitting the floor with an echoing thud. She lay still were she fell.

Yami stood shocked, looking at Chelea's limp body lying on the floor. He couldn't let himself believe she was gone. Yami looked up at Seth. He was smirking and holding up the blank card. It was no longer blank. Chelea's picture was on it; she was crying.

"What have you done to her?!" Yami finally regained his voice.

"I've trapped her soul in this card…" Seth answered coolly.

"Bring her back!" Yami yelled, furious.

"I can't," Seth smirked. He was enjoying Yami's pain.

"Why can't you? You did this!"

"She can't get out of the card until she becomes a sorceress. I will keep her card until then. Don't worry…" Seth smirked again.

"I don't think so Seth! I challenge you to a duel! If I win, I get Chelea's card, and if you win, you can have my Millennium Puzzle!" Yami challenged him.

"You have a Millennium Item?!" Seth asked, shocked.

"Yes. You must not listen very well Seth…" Yami said smugly.

"I accept your challenge, pharaoh," Seth agreed. "Let him go. We need to practice… not that I need it of course…"

The mages let Yami go and followed after Seth. Yami ran over to Chelea. He held her close to him. She was like a rag doll, limp and lifeless.

"Oh Chelea… What has he done to you…?" he said to her, letting a tear roll down his cheek.
