Oh wow, the voting is a landslide for one character. Keep voting, like I said you can vote as many times as you want. I had one super reviewer who voted for her favorite ten times. Amazing. Warning time skip.
I do not own any of these two shows.
A turban covered headed youth woke from his sleep sweating, panting with the images that flashed in his mind. His lapis eyes stared unfocused in to the grey shadows of the room. His mouth was open, and his whole visage screamed nightmares. He caught his breath and crawled hurriedly out of his bed. Dressing quickly and focusing to pinpoint aura's.
"I must find the one called Serenity." He whispered urgently. Rushing to the place he pick-up a strong aura, searching. He arrived at the Magician's dwelling where a large group of people outside where celebrating a young lady's birthday. "Serenity." the male spoke softly. He made his way over to the joyous festivities.
"Marik, I demand you put me down." Serenity screamed, being held over a small lake of water.
"Are you sure you want that?" Bakura questioned from the sidelines. Serenity nodded and granting her wish Marik dropped her into the crystal lake. Serenity surfaced to the laughing group of friends. Mumbling she searched for the ones close to her. Marik and Seth were standing close to water edge gleefully laughing. Serenity's quick hands darted out tugging them both in, they fell face first into the lake.
Laughter rang out louder when the two surfaced. The three in the lake shared a look, then hopped out and pushed the observers into the water as well. When all surfaced from the watery depths from which they were introduce to, they each started flinging water at each other. Soon a large water fight broke amusing the adults that were watching from the side lines, each cheering for their offspring. Each offering a comment and a praise to the young lady who brought sunshine wherever she went.
"Seth has lighten up a lot over the years due to your darling daughter, Dark Magician." The High Priest noted. Glancing at the scene of Seth and Yami plunging Serenity into the water.
"Atemu, has loosen up and now does not spend so much time indoors." The High Pharaoh pointed out, also watching the scene.
"Bakura, and Hiroto, have a lot to be thankful for, that light that surrounds your daughter is amazing." The Honda's, the High Knights, thanked, laughing gently as the two tempted to out dip each other.
"Rishid, and Anzu, were quiet children in my service, now the light that shines off your daughter reverberates from them too." The High Pharaoh added, keeping an eye watching as the said pair dunked Seth.
"Marik has become so charming over time, and Ishizu has even joined the fun." Mrs. Ishtar said, watching her children splash Yami.
"Katsuya and Shizuka are so glad to have a group friends to spend time with." Mr. Jonouchi spoke, observing his two splashing the large group.
"You know, we have all found an attachment to each other through Serenity." Dark Magician Girl said praising her birthday angel. Dark Magician decided to add his two cents.
"Magick has really come out of his shell, and aren't the clothes going to be ruined when they get out of there?" He said. Dark Magician Girl whacked him over his head with his staff, while the other's laughed.
"We have drying spells." She pointed out. "Beside it's her birthday let her be." Dark Magician Girl added. None noticing the approaching boy his tunic snapping wildly in his haste to reach them.
By then all the children had dredged out of the lake, dripping and laughing. Serenity was at the lead of the group marching over to the adults. "Hi, honey, has my maturing fourteen year old?" Dark Magician girl asked waving her staff over to the children's direction drying them instantly. Serenity hugged her mom and then the rest of the adults, curtsying to the High Pharaoh before hugging him as well.
"Well, don't get the party started without me." A suave female interrupted.
"Mai!" Serenity quipped rushing to the older girl, hugging her on impact. Mai smiled gently, hugging Serenity back with one hand while the other held a wrapped gift. Serenity noticing the gift glancing questionably at Mai. "What's in there?" Serenity asked pointing to the gift. Mai shook her head and gestured to the growing pile of presents. Then she handed Serenity the present to be placed with the others. By then the anxious figure had reach them.
"I must speak with Serenity." He urged, his face taunt. The High Pharaoh stood and looked over the panting youth.
"Shaadi, what brings you here?" He questioned. Staring hard at the young male.
"A matter of most importance, High Sir, but for Serenity's ears only." Shaadi explained, bowing at the waist. The pharaoh nodded, not doubting the son of the High Seer's.
"If it is as you have seen, then very well." The adults agreed. Shaadi gracefully walked to Serenity, tugging her lightly away from the group. Shaadi pulled Serenity quite a distance away before sharing what he had seen.
"My dearest fate-child, I bring you unhappy news." Shaadi whispered his voice reminding her of the sands of the desert. "Today, my night was filled with premonitions of analytic proportions." He continued. "As instructed by Fate I can only share very little, but I beseech you heed me please." Shaadi cried, grasping Serenity's free hand. Serenity nodded her pale face bleached with apprehension.
"At the coming of age party for the young pharaoh, a darkness will threaten this peaceful land." Shaadi said fear echoing through his voice. "Fate will come to visit the light child with a spell to stop the darkness." Shaadi continued his voice tightening. "However, for the spell to cast she must sacrifice one thing, innocent blood, her own." He whispered his voice straining. "Sealing the darkness, sending those souls who will die later from the backlash to be reborn into the future, but in order for the spell to work they must be sealed into golden objects blessed with power." Shaadi said, his eyes staring past Serenity.
"She, the light child must craft the sacred objects, built with a piece of the souls that will inhabit them, their will be seven objects that will be crafted, the millennium items." Shaadi spoke. "In this shall they be sealed to battle the darkness at their strongest time, and the light child shall leave this plain, fated to return to her place of birth, until needed again." He whispered his eyes closing tears leaking from them. Serenity whiten beyond description dropped her present and fell to her knees.
"Where will I learn this craft, and spell?" Serenity croaked out. Her hands digging into the sand.
"Fate shall visit tonight princess." Shaadi answered kneeling before her. Serenity nodded accepting her fate, then threw herself at Shaadi her cries pouring into Shaadi's tunic. The group had been watching this exchange quietly, rushed over when Serenity collapsed to the sands.
Yami reached her first, his lean form adding to his speed. He yanked Serenity from Shaadi, handing her over to Magick when he came up behind him. Yami, flanked by Bakura, and Marik growled angrily at Shaadi, their forms all screaming pain to the one that hurt the one they cared for. Seth stood towering behind Shaadi, his face was twisted in a menacing scowl. Magick and Anzu comforting Serenity while Ishizu, Rishid, Jono, Mai, and Shizuka stood protectively in front of her. The adults pooling around the children each body taunt with worry.
"I demand to know what was said!" Dark Magician demanded his knuckles white from the grip on his staff. The pharaoh laid a restraining hand on the worried parent.
"Shaadi, please tell us what distresses the young Serenity." The High Priest asked.
"I cannot sir, it is forbidden." Shaadi verbalized. Serenity's tears slowed at the rising tension in the group directed toward Shaadi. She pulled gently from Anzu and Magick, pushing pass the protective line in front of her and stepping in front of Yami, Bakura, and Marik. Her arms thrown out in a protective gesture. Serenity smiled shakily at her family and friends.
"Please."Serenity whispered her voice horse. "Shaadi is not at fault for what was spoken, I was just being childish." She added, her stance unfaltering. "Now, I know it's my birthday, let us open presents!" Serenity cried, hiding her pain and hauling Shaadi to his feet. Acknowledging him as part of her circle of friends. Everyone cooled down at the reassurance from Serenity, and turned to walk back to the party area. She was met with the baleful concern glance from her brother, but he respected her privacy, he knew she was lying. A thankful and encouraging squeeze came from Shaadi's hand she gripped. Serenity in the spirit of playing fine bounded over to the mountain of gifts, her fake smile fooling no one. Still, they adhered to her decision and continued with the party. Shaadi gave Serenity a stone of courage , a Red Jasper, which she slipped into her snake bracelet. Mai also gave a stone of Emerald, that which joined the snake as well. Serenity's fears were pushed back as she was busy thanking everyone for their kind gifts. Everyone had decided to leave after the party had whined down to let Serenity calm down and enjoy time by herself.
Serenity entered her room to find Fate and Destiny waiting for her their faces forlorn. Upon her bed laid tools of a metal smith and curious spell card. Serenity nodded and found a small knapsack to place the items in. Destiny handed her a deed to a small workshop where she could create what was needed and brew the potion. Also giving her a space just for herself. "Everything will be alright here?" Serenity asked bluntly, tears threatening again.
"Within time." Destiny answered wrapping her arms around Serenity and transporting her to the workshop. Serenity place her materials down and turned to look at Destiny. Destiny set to work showing Serenity how to forge the Millennium items.
Over a month's time Serenity forged the items, cutting a piece from each stone of her friends and placing them into the items. Her finishing touches were disrupted at a knock on her workspace's door. Serenity open it to find Shaadi waiting there, she lead him in and offered him the Ankh Wisdom Key. Describing the powers of it. Shaadi nodded and thanked Serenity, helping her wrapping the items as gifts for her friends. Tomorrow, Yami would celebrate his coming of age birthday.
Serenity marked each gift, Seth to receive the Rod of Magic, Marik to receive the Scales of Balance and Truth, Bakura was to inherit the Spirit Ring, Ishizu was to retrieve the Tauk. Serenity sighed arranging the gifts. Placing Jono's name on the Eye of Truth, She also crafted a Sword for Hiroto, and a Healing Staff for Shizuka. Mai was to get the Ring of beauty, and Rishid the Dagger of Loyalty. Anzu was to receive the Pairing Bracelets. Serenity stopped and stared at the last grouping of items. All of these she crafted for Atemu.
The millennium puzzle, the controlling crown, and the armor which protected the wearer. Since she gave the prince the controlling crown, she chipped a piece from it and melded it with her golden crystal. Just in case something was to ever happen, she could regain control of all items. Serenity glance to Shaadi a brewing thought in her head, as she watch her cauldron bubbled with the needed spell. Tomorrow night held too many promises to think about.
"Shaadi, I charge you with guarding them, do you accept?" Serenity royally toned at her friend.
"Of course my friend, may their souls and mine be guarded with a peaceful mind, I swear it!" Shaadi spoke his oath resigning through the halls of the Gods. Serenity nodded, then hugged her dear friend crying into his shoulder. Stricken with the knowledge of tomorrow, the friends shared their sorrow of the day to come. "Come we must rest for Yami's coming out party." Shaadi joked, his teary eyes red.
"My dear friend, stay the night with me at home, I cannot bear to face the next sunrise alone." Serenity said clenching her snake bracelet, and her ginzuishou. Shaadi nodded and they set off for the Magician's house, the gifts layering their arms. Placing the items in Serenity's room then going their separate ways to their sleeping quarters.
Okay that was dismal, but I figured with Shaadi and Ishizu sharing the gift of sight one of them would mostly understand Serenity's predicament. Since Ishizu is going to suffer from her brother's mental lapse, I decided Shaadi should be the one to share Serenity's grief. As for the added items, they will come into play later in the sequel. Also, I know some of the items are not with the right soul that is okay too. The main ones are noted. Since later on in the Yu-Gi-Oh world everything changes any way. Please Review and Vote!
