Sorry for the long hiatus. No doubt I'll be repeating it every single chapter but it has to be said. Sorry!
And thanks for the information. I'll probably stick with Cecilia instead of Cyndia, but thanks for the tip.

Voices drifted by him, very slowly, but fast enough for him to miss a lot of what was said.
"…Never seen…advanced case…exhaustion…"
"…Anything…you can do…"
"…Needs professional…this is…I'm not…"
It felt like he was floating and weightless, but suddenly a strange series of images crossed his awareness…
/A bright, empty plain as vast and burning as the sun…and a proud people, making their living by the banks of a weaving river…a place of peace…but there were shadows here, dangerous shadows…/
"I'm sorry, but visitors aren't allowed in here," said a stern voice.
Pegasus lifted an eyelid that felt like a brick house, and was startled at his new surroundings. It was a hospital, and a nurse was telling some people they couldn't come in because he was asleep.
"If you call yourself a nurse, you would know he woke up five minutes ago," said another voice.
Familiar yet feminine, he couldn't place it until the pair of images crossed his blurry vision. Croquet and a woman with long black hair stood next to the bed.
"Sir, how are you feeling?" Croquet asked worriedly.
"Tired…what happened?"
"You somehow became comatose, and have been for at least a week," the dark-haired woman said. Pegasus nodded as he slowly processed this.
"I would like to speak with you in private, if I may," the woman said next.
Croquet began to protest, thought better of it, and went to stand outside.
"I'm afraid I don't have very good news for you," she began.
"Isis-san, please, feel free to sit down," Pegasus interrupted. She sat.
"Do you recall the God Cards you entrusted to me for safekeeping?"
"How could I forget?"
Isis Ishtar gave a knowing smile. "I'm afraid that they've been stolen."
That got him all the way awake. "Who?"
"You have heard of the Rare Hunters, I'm sure?"
Pegasus sighed in disgust as he fell back against the pillow.
"How could I not? One or two nearly got on the boat to the Duelist Kingdom." Those few Hunters had been swiftly sent to the Shadow Realm after being discovered.
"I take it they got the cards?"
"Most of them - I retrieved Obelisk before it was too late."
"Where is he now?"
"I gave him to Seto Kaiba."
He brushed a stray lock of silvery hair out of his eye.
"What in the world were you thinking? He's not very likely to give it back, you know."
"He will; I have foreseen it." Her golden necklace sparkled in the lights in agreement.
"Besides, I needed to give him some incentive to start a tournament. Famous duelists from all over the world are sure to compete -"
"And that will draw in the Rare Hunters," Pegasus finished. "Well, good luck to you and Kaiba-boy, I suppose."
Then the pushy nurse came back in with the announcement of visiting hours now being over, and adjusted the IV's so that Pegasus became groggy and fell asleep once again.

Battle City tie-in, anyone? Hmm?
