Black Feathers
Well...here we go again...
Into the reflecting pool we go
And into the mind of Yami
We shall see what he sees.
We shall follow the lost dragon
As she runs to a ruined fountain
Her journey isn't over yet
And pain shall strike at both of their paths
Both the past
And the future
Will Chaos rise?
Will Heaven and Hell fall?
And then...dear Yami
You have met Rafeleu....
And one question hangs in the haze...
If this path continues...
When will you rage?

Black Feathers
Visions in the Reflecting Pool
Entrapped by what lies before them
Complex destinies revealed
If you've come this far
It's too late
We'll go down together
The sweet suspense to addict like a drug
Gabriel led a blindfolded Yami to a quiet pool. There was a tall, dark ceiling, and except for the entrance, it was lined with tall stones so smooth they reflected all. The water in the pool was like glass, completely still and unmoving. Yami seemed nervous, but followed Gabriel removed the blindfold and revealed the still closed lack of eye.
"Yami, undress. You can't enter the reflecting pool with clothes from Hell."
Not having any real choice, Yami did as instructed...though the tag collar remained. Gabriel led him into the water. It was both cool and warm at once, a strange feeling to Yami. She held her arms out and instructed Yami to lay on his back.
"Forgive me Yami. I'm going to have to open your wound."
Gabriel shoved Yami's head under the water and forced his eye socket full of the water in the Reflecting Pool. She brought him back to the surface and told him to not open his eyes...to just rest. Gabriel left the pool, and the water seemed to support Yami like a bed. Gabriel watched the stones reflect an image of Yami clad in black with beautiful black feather wings.
There was a calm yet haunting noise, and Gabriel looked up at the ceiling. She gasped in surprise. There was a vision of a man without a face, and Sepharin being taken away. There was a vision of a tall spiraling staircase and the same faceless man at the top. There was a girl, almost eight years old in appearance. She had long white hair and wore a white robe. There was a vision of a rope made of rose thorns with fresh blood all over it, and the girl was giggling. Seto was in the vision, running beside up the spiraling staircase. But then it all faded and there was black, before words began to form.
The path to corruption leads even higher
Gabriel retrieved Yami from the center of the Reflecting Pool, but told him to keep his injured eye shut. She tied a clean cloth over it as he opened his other eye. She threw a towel over him and he dried off and got dressed. Then, a very panicked Seto came charging into the room.
"Gabriel, Sepharin is gone!" He said.
"What?!"
"She broke away from our lead and ran." Yugi calmly walked in moments later.
"I know where she is. Yami, do you want to come? It might mean a lot to her."
Yami nodded and followed Yugi. They seemed to glide along the silent corridors before Yugi began to speak.
"Yami, are you okay?"
"What? My eye you mean?"
"No...I mean how are you after seeing this, after everything you know about Seph now, how do you actually feel?"
Yami paused. But soon spoke.
"I don't know how I feel. I mean...there is something inside me...like I'm falling and floating, like I'm fighting and yet sitting being calm...I don't know how I feel...this emotion is strange to me..." Yugi smiled.
"You're in love with Sepharin aren't you?"
"What?! That's insane! I'm the Epsilon Omega and she's an Archangel!"
"Sounds like a match made in Heaven." There was an awkward feeling of silence.
"To tell you the truth, I've told Sepharin I love her...and she has always been there for me...then...she told me she loved me back...I don't know anymore. After this, who the hell would know what she thinks?" Yugi said.
They rounded the corner and Yugi walked through a large doorway. A great stone statue of a bird-like creature holding a plate over a fountain looked down at them. Water was pouring from the plate, and Yugi and Yami both could see feet over the edge of the plate. Sepharin was there, and something inside her was making the fountain function again.
Yami hopped up onto the rim of the fountain and looked up. Before Yugi could take off, he motioned for him to not move. He opened his mouth and a song escaped his lips.
"Deep in your smile I see the world seeing me
I'm free to be free, to be what I be
When my heart's saying I'm a shadow of love
I gaze to the doves and find it above
Let my desires fly alone on a wing
Alone with my dreams, how lonesome it seems
Thoughts from my heart on a warm spring day
My mind drifts away and dreams so they say"
Sepharin's head peeked over the side of the plate and smiled at Yami. Yugi fluttered over and they both motioned for her to come down. Seph shook her head.
"Do you want me to sing again?"
"Or a duet?"
Seph shook her head and crawled back behind the cover of the plate. Yugi and Yami looked at each other before they nodded. Seph squeaked in surprise as Yugi flew over and dropped Yami onto her and the plate. He wrapped his arms around her and jumped into the pool of water below.
Well, after much persuasion, she was soon sitting in the Reflecting Pool. The stones reflected a green dragon with purple lines around its eyes, neck, "hands/feet" and tail. There was the same haunting sound as above them there was a great white dragon with a long neck and tail. It was lined with silver "plate"-like scales and had great silvery wings. Yami and Yugi and Gabriel stared in awe of this dragon, for nothing had even been seen in heaven nor hell...unless inside Yugi's dreams.
Seto walked into the room while Sepharin was finishing dressing. He seemed to be bringing news.
"The Omega Supreme is coming, along with the Spell Witch Omega and the Dragon Omega. They're coming to talk about getting Yami back."
Yami's face lit up.
"Doom-sama is coming here? Along with Kanrei-chan and Varin-kun?"
Seto nodded. Yami smiled from ear to ear and turned to Sepharin and Yugi.
"I've met your friends and your superior, now you'll get to meet mine."
