Black Feathers
Weeeeeeeeeeell...
I had a grand idea for the Ruined Fountain.
And so there bla
You all get to meet Angel!
(remember! I own Angel!)
But if you are inspired by her...
Ask before you take.
Anyways... there is a bit of "Into the West" in here...
Time for my melodramatic thingy:
Yami
Tearing through the inner world
Seeing
Speaking
His Angel
And her angel
Can he go on?
Or...
Or will...
Or will he...
Be defeated here?

Black Feathers
Angel and Shini
So real these voices
in my head
When it comes back to you wont be
Scared and
lonely
You wont be scared
You wont be scared and lonely
You
wont be scared you wont be lonely
Yami ran as fast as he could move through the corridors of the castle/temple. But the only way he made it out was by, of course, launching himself through the first window in sight. Unfortunately, that window was two stories up. Without his wings to help him, Yami had nothing else to do but wait until he became Yami-street-pizza.
But before that splat came, Yami heard a familiar whinny and he landed on the back of something black. He opened his eyes to see...
"Naaza!" Yami cried.
The black unicorn ran through the sky, away from the castle. It dropped him off at large, familiar doorway. Naaza then dimension-jumped from Heaven's realm. Yami stood in the doorway, peering into the darkness. His eyes focused, and he slowly walked into the room. A wave of calm washed over him, and his mind remembered where he was.
This was the Ruined Fountain.
Yami walked up to the edge of the fountain, finding all the water dried. Yami looked up at the dish/plate that the statue was holding. He felt...tired all of a sudden. Summoning the last bit of flight in his body, he jumped/flew up into the plate.
Lay down your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
Yami laid down in the plate, curling up into a little ball. His eyelids were heavy, and soon, he drifted into sleep.
We have come to journey's end
And Yami began to dream...
(now...song lyrics in dreams will be in bold italics)

"Why the Hell haven't you found him yet?!" Rafeleu raged, fist connecting with Sepharin's head. She dropped to the floor and struggled to get up again. Her dead black eyes showed nothing.
"I-I'm sorry master. I can't pinpoint his location..." Seph said weakly.
Rafeleu kicked her, she screamed in pain.
"You lying bitch! You're hiding him! Do I have to punish you in order to make you tell the truth?!!"
He kicked her again, this time making her tumble down a few stairs. She whimpered in pain before attempting to get up.
"I-I-I'm not lying master. I can't find him..."
"LIAR!!!! Gabriel! Michael! Take her to Phenriel and wait for me there. I need to find that Damned Angel!"

(Now...dream!)
Sleep now
Dream of the ones who came before
"Yami..."
"..."
"Yami...open your eyes and look at me..."
They are calling from across the distant shore
Yami opened his eyes to see before him a girl who was physically 18, but Yami knew she was much older than that. She stood before him.
She wore a gray tank top and gray pants that were cut off at the knee. She stood barefoot, but her feet rested on nothing. She had dragon-like arms and hands, with red pentacles on the back of them. Armor plates ran up her arms and melded with skin at the shoulder. She had almost long light blue hair and her demon wings folded behind her. Her whip-tail flicked back and forth, and her white demon (not devil) horns stuck up where her ears should have been. She wore a choker with red pentacles, and there was an inverted red pentacle on her forehead. In her arms she carried a head, with dead eyes and a long blonde braid that hung limp.
Yami felt his eyes tear up.
Why do you weep
All of these tears upon your face
"Angel-sama...Shini-sama..." Yami whispered, tears threatening to fall.
"Why are you crying Yami? Do you feel the sorrow that I feel?"
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Yami tried to stand and show respect, but he was too weak. He stayed lying down, eyes looking up at her.
"Yami, why do you cry?"
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
"Angel-sama...my...my..."
Silence fell for the briefest moment.
What can you see on the horizon?
"My friends, my bretheren...and my..."
"Your love?"
Why do the white gulls call?
"They're all dead!! Angel-sama! They're all dead!!" Yami cried, tears falling like rivers down his pale face.
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
Angel knelt down beside him and let him rest his head on her knee. She gently wiped his tears away. Yami looked up at her, tears still hanging in his eyes.
"Yami...they are not all dead."
"Angel-sama..."
And all will turn to silver glass
"Sepharin is very much alive, as is Seto, Yugi, Ryou, and Jonouchi."
"Raibain is dead?"
"She destroyed Gabriel and Michael's totem animals, they can no longer summon them to kill. She allowed the message to get to you."
Yami began to cry once more. Angel stroked his face gently, quelling his fears.
A light on the water
All souls pass
"Hush my child...Was Sepharin present at any one of your beatings by Rafeleu?"
Yami shook his head.
Hope fades
Into the world of night
"Sepharin loves both you and Yugi, her love for you is what Rafeleu fears. Do you remember my story? My rage?"
"Tell me once more, Angel-sama...onegai?"
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
"When Heaven invaded, their auras of hatred tipped my spiritual balance, twisting me and warping me into the being called the Forlorn. Shini knew that the only way to save me was for me to kill her. Because the Forlorn twisted my mind, I woke to find Heaven's forces running...and Shini's head at my feet..."
Don't sayWe have come now to the end
Angel hugged the head closer to her before coming to her point.
White shores are calling
"Sepharin might be released from her human shell by seeing you tortured. Rafeleu may fear that. Now, when you wake, Rafeleu will find you, and then he will challenge you to a game. It will be to find Sepharin, but be wary, he will have Seto and Yugi as well."
Yami felt his mind fleeing, but Angel said one more thing.
"Believe, for this world can be reborn."
You and I will meet again
54909088008980445890498049408
Yami slowly opened his eyes to hear the voice of Rafeleu. He didn't move, but listened to what Rafeleu was saying.
"When I catch that Damned Angel...I'll make him mine or...now my mind is working. I'll send him through a test...a test that will force Sepharin from her shell. Then...I'll force her to summon her God slayer...and his power will be mine. Then Yami will only exist as my blood donor...and possibly my whore..."
Yami's heart beat increased, hearing Rafeleu speak. But a wave of courage and hatred washed over him. He, the last of the Omegas, would never become his whore, nor his donor either. He tuned out the rest of what Rafeleu had to say, preparing to act instead of submit.
"Rafeleu!!!"
Rafeleu stopped in his tracks as Yami's voice echoed off the walls of the room. Yami stood up in the plate on the statue, eyes glaring down at Rafeleu. The Broken Angel Lord grinned. Rafeleu spread his wings, no longer broken angel wings, but red and black dragon wings. Yami hadn't prepared for that.
Rafeleu flew up to meet Yami, who held his ground.
"You eluded me for three But..."
Rafeleu's hand shot for Yami's throat, but Yami dodged and Rafeleu grabbed his torn wing instead. But that was more than enough. Yami couldn't run without tearing his wing off.
"...You still belong to me. Now, would you like to play for your freedom? I have a little...game...I prepared."
Yami thought about what Angel-sama said.
"I accept your challenge." Yami said solemnly. Rafeleu grinned.
"Good. But you will be punished for running from your soon-to-be master."
Rafeleu laughed as he ripped Yami's wing from his body. Yami cried out in pain and crumpled to his knees for a moment. He glared daggers at Rafeleu.
"I have to go, but to begin this game, you must report to the Phenriel---the place where the wisterias used to grow. Report in thirty minutes."
Rafeleu left with Yami's wing, but Yami rose to his feet. He was not going to let everyone down now. He jumped from the plate, landing like a cat on the stone floor. He looked at the healing wounds on his body. These would be reopened, and more were to come. There will be more blood.
"Maybe I will die, but if I can free Seph and Yugi and Seto and everyone...my death will have meaning."
Yami looked at the open doorway, and then back at the Ruined Fountain.
"Angel-sama, Queen of Victory..."
Yami began to walk towards the place where so many memories dwelled.
"PRAY FOR ME!!!!"
