A/N- Hi everyone *cough* *cough* Heh, yeah, I'm not feeling too well, but
I hope you all have a good week and like this chapter!! *cough* Not much
to say...
Selina: Poor Serafina.
Serafina: (look at that...Selina's being nice. Heheheheh*cough**cough* Ugh.)
Well, I definatelly want to thank all of you for reviewing!!! Wow, over 200 reviews! *cries* I never thought I'd reach even a hundred!! You guys are the absolute best! *cough* So gives you all each a big pan cookie (cookie pizza).
Sorceress Vanessa: I'm glad you liked it!! That's ok about Rod. Don't worry about it. Make sure you tell me when your seq will be up!
Nightlight5: Thanks for the ideas you sent me!! I wonder how everbody got into your review. I'm confused too so you're not alone!! That was really funny!! I liked it!! Go you!!
Brodie and Casey: Hey, thanks for going back and reviewing all of those chapters!!! It makes me very happy!!! Thank you so much!! I liked all of your reviews!! They were VERY interesting!!
LilKay13: Thanks!! You made my day!! -^_^- You're the greatest!!
Chrono Cross: Yeah, Yugi is safe *for now* he he! Thanks!! Yep, Yami's gonna have lots of fun since he can't even talk to his aibou!
Subieko: Good question. More like it was just there and then once it bonds with someone its like a host only the BC is not a parasite. Does that make any sense whatsoever? It's like a balance. Yugi helps the crystal out, by letting it live in him or something like that and in return it gives him special abilities. Does that make sense or am I just rambling? ROD II well, not exactly. Bakura and Marik never get sent to a psychiatrist or prison for stealing ppl's souls do they? Thanks for reviewing!!
JadedKatrina: Hm...Lord of the Rings huh? How do you figure? Oh, don't worry. There is more evilness to come. The new evil has arrived and it doesn't like Yugi here at all! Well you *could* control them like that unless they are Bakura. Oh, you're in some trouble...hope you make it out with all of your fingers. (what in the world made me say that? I have no idea)
Hazel-Beka: Hey, guys!! I believe it's the light realm unless I'm mixing this up with one of my other stories that's not on FF.N. A Mary Sue is a OC without any flaws at all. So usually the writers will make them do stuff like trip and stuff. I had to figure this out by reading other stories! Ja ne is Japanese for see ya later. Go you and I hope you had an excellent birthday!! With presents like that who wouldn't?! Oh, poor Beka. I hope you get to feeling better Beka-chan! Selina also sends her wishes of you getting well soon, but she won't do it in person cause it would ruin her image.
Oklina: You're new!! Welcome to my humble little story!! I'm glad you reviewed and I hope you stick with us!! ^_^ I'm VERY glad you like it! Yeah, I know, it's kind of weird and confusing, but that's just how my strange mind works! ^_^
Phantom 1: I'm glad you don't mind if I have a Mary Sue or not, but in this chapter she becomes un-Mary Sue-ish! Thanks!! I hope you like this chapter!
Bunnychu: That's fine with me. I don't always log in myself! Thanks and good luck with your lesson!
hobbit13: Yay! Cookie!! YUM YUM!! ^_^ Thanks so very much for your ideas!!! I loved them!! You're the greatest!!
Una: Hey Una!! Yeah, I like to do that too, cause that usually makes it all seem to stream together better and you might catch some stuff that you might have missed before! Heh heh, We'll just say Ryou helped out some!! =^_^= Yeah, it is pretty weird. The BC kinda took control of him for a minute to get him out of trouble. I don't think I'll get writers block on this since its finished!! He he! We only have to worry about the sequel, ROD II, and that other story that you know about...he he he.
LadyDeathStrike1: Don't worry about the detour thing. It didn't really have to do with the story. It's not essential. An OC is an Original Character/Own Character. Someone you make up from your imagination and put into your story. Mary Sue is a character without any flaws and not many ppl like that so you will usually make them trip or do something to un-Mary Sue them. You aren't stupid. I had to figure out what all these weird terms were when I was reading stories and I still don't know everything. Yes, you can, hehehehe!
fishkisser: Hey, HAHAHAHA!!! That was funny!! I defiantly un-Mary Sued her in this chapter. So we don't have to worry about that anymore. Thanks!
digigirl-izumi: He he! You caught that did ya. I actually use Chamera for a lot of things like my own little world! (I shall call my world BOB. HEHEHEHE!!) NO not Gothia and Gloggy!! They'd be way too much too handle!! You guys might get Haggi's Cow and impale me!! AHHH!! HahahahA! Yeah, well the cresent moon and star should seem familiar cause it's the necklace I wear everyday! That's where I got it from! Thanks!
Mitsuko-chan: That's ok. Thanks for going back and reviewing all those chapters for me. Sure I'll tell them. I'm glad you like it and thanks!
NOTE: Check out Yami mata Hikari no Tenshis by Mitsuko-chan. It's very good. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter 18
In a room inside a temple a man sat on a throne-like chair. He wore long flowing robes and all of a dark hue and a dark navy blue hood. He had sandals on his feet and in his hand was a rod. At the top of the rod was a ball with wing-like appendages on either side of it and a symbol of an Egyptian eye, or the eye of Ra on it. With this special, magical rod he could look through the eyes of any one of his mind slaves.
His name was Marik and he was currently looking through the eyes of a King. Not just any king at that, "The King of Chamera" to be exact. He was presently controlling his body when on of his servants, one of the ones he did not have to control by mind, came up to him and told him some very interesting news.
"I have found the princess, Sitara, my master. I followed her to her hideout, so I can lead you there, but I have some other interesting news as well."
"Let's hear it!" Marik roared.
"While she and her magic tutor were traveling a boy fell out of the sky and she saved him. She called him the Chosen One. I think he might be the one the legends speak of. The one come to help the heir to the throne overtake the evil rule over the kingdom. You know what that means master..."
"I know what the legends *say*! It doesn't necessarily mean anything."
"But sir, the legends say that, that great evil will be forced into another realm. Sir, that great evil is us. If this boy forces us into another..."
"He will do no such thing."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because we will get rid of him before then. Or capture him and get him to work for us."
"But master, you cannot control him."
Marik turned to stare at the man so suddenly it was more of a jerk. Marik fixed the man with and ice-cold stare, and the man shivered like there was a chill in the air and quaked beneath it.
"What are you talking about?"
The man took some time to gather his courage before replying. "Master Marik, he is the Chosen One. He has magical abilities and therefore you could not control his mind."
"How do you know this? Why do you go by just what that girl said?"
"Sir, I saw his symbol, the unique and personalized symbol that every spell- caster has. It was on his forehead, a star, sir."
"Fine, then we will just have to capture him if possible, or kill him. Get some men together. We will attack them while they sleep."
"Yes, master, sir."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi, Sitara, and her tutor had found a cave off the road and planned to sleep in it. It was dank and dreary, but it was the only thing they could find before nightfall. It was cold inside the cave and water dripping from the ceiling to the cave floor echoed through the entire cave.
They built a fire to warm up and cook food for dinner, (they being only Sitara) but then put it out once they finished eating.
After they ate, Kero-oshi, Sitara's tutor, went exploring through the back of the cave while Sitara and Yugi watched the sunset from the mouth of the cave.
"So you are the princess of this land, Chamera, right?" asked Yugi who sat cross-legged Indian style and was playing with a rock in his hand he had picked up from off the ground.
She nodded. Sitara was sitting in a laid out manner. Her legs in front of her stretched out and her torso leaning back with her hands and arms propping her up.
Yugi looked away from her, down to the ground, then to the retreating pink sun. "I gathered that from earlier conversation."
"Why do you ask, Yugi?" she turned her gaze upon him.
"Well," Yugi fidgeted, "because you don't dress or act like a princess."
"Really, how do you know?" she perked up and looked interested. "Do they have princesses where you are from?"
"Well no, but they used to and I've read stories and stuff about them and they all wear dresses and act all proper and...un...stuff."
She frowned and looked at the ground and Yugi thought he had offended her until she said, "Well, normally I do, do that kind of stuff, but we're kind of in a very awkward situation. With everybody's mind being controlled you don't really know who you can trust and well, I can't act like I'm the princess in case someone happens to find us and turns us over the whoever's behind all this. Then I'd be dead and so would you for just being here with us."
"So you've never dressed like this before?"
"Well, I did. But that was so very long ago when I was a little girls. I used to have friends in the great city and I would sneak out of the palace in peasant clothes to go play with them."
"Well, what happened? You said you *used* to have friends."
"My father found out what was going on and forbade me to see them again. I didn't know it then, but he was being controlled at that time. He started changing, becoming harsher and not like himself. I finally found out what was going on when I went to the throne room one day and my father was talking to some man I had never seen before.
He couldn't see me because I was hidden, but when he told the man my father was being controlled and their plan would surely work, I got scared. I accidentally knocked over a case, that broke, and got their attention. My father sent that man after me and the guy tried to kill me. I managed to hold him off with my magic long enough to get help from Kero-oshi and with his help left the palace."
Yugi looked sympathetic and tried to give Sitara comfort seeing that this was something really traumatizing for her. Then something happened that interrupted the conversation.
A spider that was a current resident of the cave happened to scuttle up to the pair of them. It walked right up to them and then crawled onto Sitara's hand. Her eyes went wide and she looked down. Out of pure reflex she shook her hand and tried to get the spider off. It held on tight and would not let go so easily, however. This seemed to scare Sitara to death and she began to cry and hyperventilate.
"No, no! Please get it off of me!! Please!" She cried as softly as she could.
Poor little Yugi did not know what to do. He knew he needed to calm Sitara down so he could help her get the spider off, but she was hysterical and would not stop shaking. Yugi was happy when the spider could no longer hold on to the frantic girl and fell off onto the ground.
As soon as it hit the ground Sitara backed away from it like it was going to eat her.
"Step on it!! Please!! Make it go away!!"
Yugi, not having the heart to kill it and not being afraid of spiders himself, picked it up and dropped it into the grass. Sitara collapsed on the floor and laid her head against the side of the cave wall.
Yugi walked over to her and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Y-yeah, yeah, I-I th-think, that I'm fine now. Thank you very much," she replied in a shaky voice.
"What's wrong?"
"I REALLY don't like spiders. I had a very bad experience with them when I was a kid. Some friends of mine took me to a "haunted graveyard" as they called it. We got separated and I fell into a nest of spiders. They bit and stung me until my friends came, but by that time I had passed out from poison. The healers managed to restore me physically, but I've been scarred by that mentally and can't stand to be around spiders."
"Are you scared of snakes too? Most girls, where I come from, are scared of BOTH spiders and snakes. If they are scared of one, then they are more than likely scared of the other."
"No, I'm not scared of snakes, that would be my...never mind."
An awkward silence hung in the air between them. 'What was she going to say? Her what? Something must have happened and she either doesn't want to tell me or she doesn't want to remember it. What could it be?'
"Um...I think, I'll teach you how to use magic now, before we face this evil...you will need to be equipped. Unless you already know how to of course," she added hastily, changing the subject.
"No, I don't know how to at all. I'd be happy for you to teach me."
"Ok, let's get to it then," Sitara said, back to her cheery self, as she stood back up and Yugi followed suit.
A/N- Well, *cough* that's it *cough* I hope you liked. Now Sitara is NOT a Mary Sue! ROD II will be up right after this chap! Next chap, the trio *SHOULD* (I don't remember) get a surprise from Marik. I- *gasp* NO WAY!!
Selina: What is it, hikari?
Serafina: I just remembered I have a test in Geometry AND in Spanish that I haven't studied for!!! I've got to go study!!
Selina: Well, get to it! I'll take over from here. Thanks for reading this and we hope you would be kind enough to leave a review. If you have any ideas let us know and if you've updated tell us that as well! Ja ne!
Selina: Poor Serafina.
