Cry of the Black Magician

Epilogue

It's really a nice place up here in the afterlife. I get to look down upon the living, talk with the dead, and take my time in everything, because time doesn't exist up here. If you want, you can be reborn whenever you want, and if you want to remain up here for a long time first, that's fine too. This place is perfection.

I recognized Osiris the second I died, ready to weigh my heart. How could I not recognize him, he being my most loyal god monster on Earth? I passed the Weighing of the Heart ceremony easily, and now I'm left to enjoy the finer parts of 'life,' if you will. The wonderful food, the music, my queen...

Ah yes, my queen. Anzu died recently. It's been about sixty years since I died. Anzu's soul is beautiful, even more beautiful than her earthly body. Here, the true hues of your soul are all that cover you, and it really is wonderful. Anzu, Sogoroku (for of course, he died quite a while ago) and I really are enjoying ourselves, and we plan to wait until our whole tight group has died, then all get reborn at the same time, in the hopes of meeting up again in life.

What's this? Osiris is calling to me. I left him a list of the people of whose deaths I want to be notified of, since he insisted on doing me some sort of favor for bringing so much honor to his name on Earth. I shall go see who has died.

It's Honda! He had a stroke, poor soul. Now his heart is being weighed, and now he's here, in the wonderful afterlife. I greet him, and we embrace, joyfully asking each other how we've been. He's surprised to see that the afterlife exists. Of course it does! We ancient Egyptians were smarter than people these days give us credit for.

I show him around, and he greets my queen and Sogoroku, and oh yes, Yuugi's parents, and all our friends' parents as well. We souls can travel much faster than any space ship, you know. We have our ways.

He's already happy here, and yes! He had his Duel Monsters deck on him when he died, just as I did! We duel, and I'm more at home than I've been in a long time.

If there's one thing I've learned through all of this, it's that you're at home wherever your heart is, so I intend to put my heart into everything I do, in death and in my next life, so that I can always be at home with myself. Ah, and now I must leave. I have a certain Black Magician, repaired by Yuugi, to kick Honda's behind with...

The End


-wipes forehead-

I finished it! After a month's wait, here it is, the epilogue to CotBM! Thankies all my wonderful reviewers, I owe you one!

SpiritPuppyLuvr/s, I thank the both of you very muchly! I made you (the Yami-loving one, this is directed to) cry? Wow... gomen nasai... I didn't mean to write something depressing... it's just my sappy side coming out. LOL! But I was crying too, so... ah, I won't ponder this any longer; it can only end in my putting myself down... -sigh- XD

You cried too, HiddenInTheNight? Yikes... you people make me feel... evil. Ahem...

Thanks, Black-Caracal, even though I have-sniff sniff- in Electric Fire's words, 'killed off the hot guy who dresses in leather.' Ah well. At least there's plenty more of the hot guy... and the leather... in all honesty, I think he's hotter in just normal cotton clothes... dark jeans and black tank top, methinks... hmm... I must take this to the lab... -goes insane, cue thunder and lightning as crazy fanfic authoress draws a pic of 'Temu in dark jeans and a black tank top... yeah.-

Many thankies, Angel-of-the-Apocalypse!

Peace Out,
World Peace,
Peace 'n' Lotsa Luv,
Anything Else With Peace,
