Mantorok was the guardian ancient of chaos, binding the other 3 ancients. His blackened heart now held by a girl named Ellia. Now she would have to avoid Pious and his servants for many millennia to come. I did have a sort of suspicion about Mantorok, but that could wait. I had to stop the ancient that was trying to come through now. My name is Katy Forest/Kaiba. I had the urge to go now and recover the artifact, but I knew better, nothing happened without reason, without cause. Mantorok was bound and trapped in his layer, unable to leave.
It made me sad in some ways, but not really. He was forced to feed on flesh and bone. I realized that I was crying softly, so I quickly dried my eyes and blew my nose on a tissue. Tears can wait until later. \
I needed to find the next chapter page. Would it be in this room? Or would it be upstairs? I went out to investigate a bit. It was empty, and then I heard soft talking in the dining room and Joey's occasional knock on the door. I looked at the clock, there was something! It was a key to the dresser upstairs. Unfortunately, the upstairs key was still broken though. I'd fix it, if I knew how or went to a locksmith, but I wouldn't leave until this was over. Yugi came out and asked if I was hungry. I realized I wasn't.
"No, not right now, I'm just looking for something," I said. He smiled and went back in. I was so fortunate to have Yugi as a boyfriend.
"Hey Kiddo," a voice said. I turned to face Mai.
"Not hungry?" I asked, sticking the key in my pocket.
"Neither are you, by the looks of it. Are you ok?" she asked, "its hard loosing well-known family."
"I know. I miss him; my grandfather meant so much to me. I can't believe he's gone," I said, "but what does that have to do with you not eating?"
"This and that. I knew about him, your grandfather, I heard about him, brilliant, but withdrawn to all but family and a little mad," she said.
"Yes, a little mad. He was always nice to me though when asked for help. I'm assuming they told you I'm not leaving until I find my grandfather's murderer?" I asked and she nodded.
"Listen Kiddo, he was found without a head, all bloody and torn. I wouldn't suggest trying to find that type of murderer without the police," Mai said.
"The police said they wanted answers, but there was none to be found," I said.
"And they searched everywhere?" she asked.
"They said they did," I replied, "but they found next to nothing."
"Okay kiddo. Just make sure you don't get hurt. You know Seto and Yugi worry," she said. I headed back to the room. Then I saw it, next to the sword, another chapter, the very next one! Here we go again.
***FLASH***
Pious stands in the portal chamber of his Ancient. He casts a 5-point Magical pool, and a vision swims into view. Ulyaoth appears as a flowing veil of red electricity. He speaks in a smooth and haughty voice...
Pious: I am your servant, my lord, as always. That and nothing more...
Ulyaoth: Yes, that and nothing more... What revelations do you bring me?
Pious: My meditations reveal a flaw in our plan...
Ulyaoth: OUR plan, Augustus? Mantorok is a shadow ebbing in the light of our glory. It and the others are slow... Weak... Bound by the realm of a Universe. Unable to unite against a common foe they will fall, one by one. Unfortunately, this is beyond your understanding. The binding of Mantorok will seal their fate as its power over us diminishes. Such an irony that the Keeper itself be imprisoned within the walls of its own magic.
Pious: And what of its essence? Is that not the core of its remaining power?
Ulyaoth: Upon my seeping into the corporeal world, I will be the dominant over all, Mantorok included. Your worries are unfounded. You must turn your attention to Charlemagne the Frank. His continued presence within the world is far more serious to our cause.
Pious: As you wish, my Master. He will be dead before the week is out.
***FLASH***
Edward: From my research, it is apparent that the endeavors of mankind are mere puppetry at the hands of the Ancients. Whenever a king vows reform, the Ancients move quickly to stifle it. Under the auspices of Emperor Charlemagne the Frank, the new Holy Roman Empire was at the height of its power.
The stilled picture comes to life. A young boy is being given a message by a monk.
Monk: (beginning in Latin) Deliver this to out lord and Emperor, Charlemagne the Frank. No one but him must see it. There are words for his eyes only. At once!
The boy, named Anthony, takes the scroll and the monk leaves. I see him take a few steps, then makes sure no one's looking. He ducks into a corner. He opens the scroll, seeing mystical symbols on it; then is struck down by a blot of yellow magic. He clutches his head.
Anthony: What sorcery is this? A spell? I am bewitched! If this was meant for Charlemagne... then what will become of him? I have to warn him of this treachery!
He heads off in the direction of Charlemagne, towards the monastery...
As soon as he arrives at the monastery, he asked a monk where Charlemagne was. He was told that Charlemagne was in a meeting with the High Bishop, in the room on the left, but the door was locked; there was no way in without the key. Anthony needed to find a way in, needed to find the key. He ran to the front of the church and noticed a coffin. He opened the coffin only to see a bloody body, torn and mutilated. He almost threw up. I looked at my hand, it was shaking slightly. Another monk came up to Anthony.
"Thank you for finding this treachery for us. It hurts me most deeply to know there are traitors among us in the church. Here young man, you had better take this sword for your own protection," the monk told him, handing him a small sword. Then Anthony headed up some stairs near the entrance. He was transported to another world or it seemed like another world. He walked up the pathway and saw two statues. The broken one which was Augustus and across from that one was Ellia. Anthony went forward and took the Tome of Eternal Darkness, the one I had now! It flashed the lives of Pious and Ellia, what they did and then he was back on the stairs.
He went up them again, this time for real, but once he got to the top, he collapsed slightly. He was starting to rot, or something.
"What's happening to me?" he wondered aloud, "I must hurry." He searched the bookcases and finding nothing, continued on. He came to a room full of zombies!! He also saw a monk was being attacked by these zombies, so he began to fight them off and saved the monk. With gratitude, the monk gave him a two handed broadsword and a vase with something in it. The monk said he'd remain here, for now he felt it was fairly safe. Anthony took a closer look at the vase, and accidentally dropped it. He picked up the three broken pieces and kept them. The he saw something nearby on the floor, he picked it up and it was a rune! A zombie must have dropped it. Then he found another vase with nothing in it, but he had broken it anyways. He also found a stone tablet. He also searched the nearby bookcases and found three pieces of another vase, so he mixed them to put them together. Anthony continued on, collecting runes and tablets and defeating zombies, solving puzzles. Then he found a scroll and it taught him a spell! It was a repair spell! Lucky bastard… Anyways, he repaired the broken vase, and went back to the monk, and made sure each vase had filled with water. Then he went back and placed them on the stone tablet, ultimately opening the door. Inside was the head bishop!!!
"I thank you for returning to me my book boy. I will let you die quickly for it!" He said and Anthony had to fight off two Ulyaoth demons, and beheaded the monk, while struggling to regain sanity along the way. He saw the key and immediately picked it up, heading back to rescue Charlemagne. As soon as he exited, the spell once again took effect upon him. It rotted him further, and he knew he had little time. He arrived at the stairs only to see a demon, one that had three heads. He made short work of the demon creature and headed down the stairs to finally open the door…
(Anthony enters the visiting chamber and sees Charlemagne's blackened corpse on the ground, with several monks surrounding him.)
Anthony (anguished): NOOO! Charlemagne!
(The spell he is under ignites once again.)
Anthony: I have failed you…
(Anthony collapses to the ground next to his lord. The monk in charge speaks.)
Monk: You are a fool for trying to save him, Anthony! His fate was decided many centuries ago, as is the fate of this world. Despite your faith, there is little to save you from the power of Ulyaoth!!
(As he speaks the name of his ancient, a spindly evil creature, a Bonethief, bursts out of the Monk's chest. The creature becomes a still page…)
