To My Reviewers:
DDC freak-Magic, Atem, adventure ... what more could anybody ask for?
Good Question? Lol... I couldn't ask for anything more that is for sure.

"A Warning for Lady Phoenix"
Lady Phoenix struggled to keep her eyes open. She had been going back and forth between the two rooms her friends were in since they arrived. She knew they needed the extra boost from her Power to get the strength they needed to wake. She was just running very weak, very fast. Her Powers were not yet back at full capacity and she was pushing the limits now. Mana had suggested that her master try to help by adding his own magic to her Power. Feeling the exhaustion coming fast, Lady Phoenix was beginning to think that was not such a bad idea. She moaned softly and stood to stretch, closing her eyes for a moment.
"Come on, Lady Star," she muttered, opening her eyes and gazing down at her friend. "You and Havoc can get through this. I know you can. You have to wake up."
"I guess that means there has been no change in your friends." Lady Phoenix straightened sharply at the voice in the doorway and narrowed her eyes.
"Not as of yet, no," she responded cautiously. Slowly, she turned to face the one who had spoken. Isis stood just outside the door. She was looking down at her nervously fidgeting fingers in front of her. The silence between them was deafening. The tension so thick, one could cut it with a knife. Finally, Lady Phoenix decided to break the silence. "Is there something I can do for you, Priestess?" she asked. Isis looked up at her.
"No, Lady Aurora, there is nothing. I..." Isis took a deep breath to steady herself as she tried to find the right words. Lady Phoenix eyed her suspiciously. "I had to come to you. I have been unfair to you." Lady Phoenix raised an eyebrow at her.
"I do not believe I understand. Considering the fact you do not know me, I feel you have been justified in your suspicion. I cannot say I would have felt any different had the situations been reversed."
"Not exactly, for it is more than the idea that I do not know you." Isis grew quiet. Lady Phoenix watched her for a moment before moving closer. Lightly, she touched Isis' shoulder and a vision flashed before her. She could see herself through Isis' eyes and she was shocked. Now she understood what the majority of her resentment had been. Lady Phoenix watched the scene of her first battle with Bakura through Isis' eyes. She felt the pangs in Isis' heart when Atem reached for her. Yes, Lady Phoenix understood completely now.
"I see," she whispered. "I am sorry. I had not known there was something going on between the two of you." She stepped back and Isis looked up at her, confused.
"But there was not," she began before stopping herself.
"You had feelings for him." It was a statement not a question. Isis looked away.
"How did you know?"
"It does not matter how I know. What matters now is how we handle this," Lady Phoenix answered.
"There is nothing to handle, Lady Aurora. Pharaoh Atem and I have been friends for a long time. All we want is for the other to be happy." Isis looked back up at Lady Phoenix. "He is happy with you. More so than he ever could be with me."
"Just what is it you are saying, Priestess?"
"I am saying I am sorry for making you feel uneasy and unwelcome while the others have been so good to you. Just be good to him."
"High Priest Set asked the same of me. I made the same vow to him. I shall be good to him." Lady Phoenix went to turn back to her friend when a strange look in Isis' eye caught her attention. "There is something else? What is troubling you about me?"
"There is no mild way to say this," Isis began. "I do fear you. Your Powers, your enemies."
"My enemies? I have not sensed them here. They should not be here."
"You are still weak, Lady Aurora. But I have seen you fighting against someone I have never seen before."
"You have had a vision?"
"Yes, I have."
"I see," Lady Phoenix walked over to Lady Star's bed. "All the more reason I need to help my friends wake. I need to get us all out of here before the threat comes to pass." She looked over at Isis. "Thank you for the warning. I understand your concern now and I agree with it. Now please, I must get back to my friends." Isis stood silently for a moment. She had not meant to make it sound as if Lady Phoenix had to leave. She had to change her mind.
"I am sorry to remain, but I am sure something can be worked out so you do not have to leave." Lady Phoenix looked at her.
"Again, I am afraid I do not understand you. Do you want me to leave, or not?"
"For the Pharaoh's sake, no. I am only afraid of what can come of your enemy being in our land."
"If that is all you fear, than please take no heed of it. I will see to it that my enemy stays far from this land." With that, she went back to Lady Star and shut her eyes in concentration. Her hands held a white glow to them and she placed them on her friend's sleeping form. The body jumped and Isis gasped. She stared wide-eyed as Lady Phoenix worked. After a few brief moments, the glow receded and Lady Star moaned. When Lady Phoenix looked over at Isis, her eyes shown white with her Power. "No, Isis, fear not my enemy," she stated. Her eyes slowly regained their dark blue color. "We will take care of him." Her heart in her throat, Isis nodded and left.
