Hell is worth all that,

Natural habitat

Just a rhyme without a reason

Never-ending maze

Drift on numbered days

Now your life is out of season

Master Of Puppets – Chapter 11 – The Gates Of Hell

Mokuba ran after his brother calling "Wait for me, Seto!" as they crossed the street. The older one stopped before metal gates that circled the yard of a huge building, almost slipping on the frost "This is it," he said /Crystal…Are you here?...We are coming to save you!.../ Mokuba finally reached his brother, breathing heavily and looking through the fence toward the building. The whole area was dark and quite, only one street lamp cast lazy circle of rays to illuminate the street around the building.

"Do you think they are here?" asked Mokuba, glancing around him "It is so quite here...And how the Hell are we going to get in?" Seto looked around him and thought quickly. "Well, as I know Dartz, this fence has to be an electric one, so do not touch it, Mokuba! Now, in order to pass such thing we have to find a way to climb up without touching it!" Seto was walking in circles while he was thinking out loud, trying to decide what to do.

Mokuba's eyes followed him until he felt dizzy and confused /But why is Seto so sure the fence is electric? I don't think so! I think I just have to check it! Now, where can I find some conductor here?.../ Mokuba ran few steps toward the garbage bin near the street lamp, and picked up an iron Cola can. Meanwhile Seto found a tree near the other side of the fence, and called Mokuba "Come here! Maybe we can climb up and jump down from the other side!" said the older one, lowering one of the thick branches to try and climb higher. (Of course he never thought about how to get out of the yard when inside, yet it was just another typical Seto Kaiba plan. In any case, he has his own helicopters, so quick rescue is always included.)

"Seto! Watch it!" called Mokuba, running and throwing the can onto the fence. It hit the cold metal and fell down with a loud thud, rolling on the pavement and making annoying noises that could without any problem drive a whole neighborhood crazy. Seto, who wasn't expecting to hear such things at all, jumped up in surprise, holding the branch so hard that a suspicious crack was heard, and in the next moment he found himself sitting on the cold ground with the piece of wood lying helplessly near him. He sent a minor death glare toward his brother "Mokuba! What the Hell have you done?" he shouted.

"I want to prove you that sometimes the straight way is better," said the kid, approaching the gates. He put his hand on the metal handle and pulled it aside without any electric jolts jumping through him. Then he pushed the metal door, and the pass was opened. /Whoa, I though Dartz was smarter than that…/ Seto watched his brother getting into the yard "And wait for me!" he yelled, getting up and running after his brother /I wonder now…It was so easy that it made me suspect…Maybe…/

"Mokuba wait!" called Seto "We'll get right into his trap! Wait!" he got inside the yard, following his brother to the entrance doors. Mokuba immediately tried the handle, but to no advantage. "How are we going to get in this time?" he asked his brother.

"By breaking community property," assured him the older one "Now move!" getting few steps aside, Seto gained the right acceleration to kick the glassy doors and break them into small shards, proving that physics is indeed a humanistic subject. Mokuba stared at him, slightly jealous /In random episodes of the series he does those magnificent stunts, only I am always deprived!…Oh, stop being so selfish, Mokuba! You are here to find Crystal, remember? She may be in great danger these very moments! And Seto is calling, he is already in!.../

Mokuba bent to pass under the metallic frame of the door "Now listen carefully Mokuba," Kaiba Seto looked just like a secret agent in the dimness minus maybe sunglasses, and he spoke quietly, his tone threatening and agitated "I remember there are 15 floors here. Take my second phone and check floors 1 to 6. Move as quietly as you can, do not make any noise. If you find something or you see someone in here, don't try to interfere alone. Step aside where they can't hear you and call me. I'm checking floors 7 to 15 and the roof." said the older brother, glancing at the clock on his cell phone screen "The time is 10 minutes to eleven. In case you find nothing meet me here after half an hour." while Seto explained the plan they moved toward the staircase "Let's go!" he said, and both of them started to climb up, their elastic soles swallowing the voices. They departed on the second floor, Mokuba ran into the first room, and Seto had to continue after catching a brief glance at his brother's figure disappearing in the doleful darkness.

Her skin was cold, yet his fingers on her left arm were much colder. She shivered, shaking in utter fear and panic when he ran his fingers down to her shoulder, exploring her FlEsH, her voice dismaying and suffocated when she stuttered "Wh-What are you d-doing to me? Leave me al-alone!" he chuckled somewhere near her, she couldn't tell where exactly he was for her eyes were still tightly closed, the burn in them constantly sending little waves of pain via the nerves into her mind. The pains in her right arm became sharper and more agonizing every minute /I have to hold on. I feel Isis has a plan, and if I faint she can do nothing! She needs me, she said she's going to protect me and I have to believe her…I can't let Marik win over me, no way I'll let him…/

However, Crystal never expected to hear his words. "Don't be so nervous, it hurts only for the first few times, and then it is nothing. Believe me, I know…" he said, touching her arm again, she gasped in surprise when she felt him move, till some of his weight was right on her "Now stay calm," he whispered into her ear, as she felt his body pressed against her, still touching her arm "Get away!" she shouted as louder as she could, gaining her a painful pinch till tears flooded under the burning eyes, spreading the pain beneath her eyelids and increasing the burn, she whimpered lightly, and he waited for her to regain her breath again.

"Stay calm or I'll make you regret even more," he hissed evilly. Once again, he held her left arm, turning it a little to him, and the next minute intense pain washed into Crystal's left limb, she felt her FlEsH being sliced, and something liquid and hot poured out, streaming down her arm. A suffocated scream escaped her lips, she tried to struggle and move under Marik's body, but all her attempts to writhe away were to no advantage. She heard him laughing lightly when he got hold on her body, grasping her arm, making more crimson fluid pour out. A cold, grainy tongue touched her skin, sliding around the cut, swallowing the blood, slowly brushing the drops away. She breathed heavily, when more blood rushed out of the wound, staining the surface. She felt him licking it again, lingeringly, savoring her taste that was playing on his lips.

Marik treated the cut carefully, enjoying every drop that came into his mouth "Yours is so tasty…So bitterly sweet, so good…" he whispered, few drops of blood falling from his soaked tongue onto her face, trickles of bright crimson. When the bleeding finally reduced, leaving the cut slightly swollen and red his husky voice whispered "Just a little more…" she felt him shift her arm as far as the rope allowed him, his fingers holding the knife steadily. He found the right place to start another cut, making her scream faintly as he painted a perfect crossing line to the first cut. And another one. And another one.

Beautiful red substance immediately made its way to the surface, glowing in the light of the millennium items. Seven cuts now throbbed on her skin, little pools of dark crimson pleasure, full of her wonderful taste, full of her smell. They held her gloom and fear, her desperation and frustration, and the slight hope of being saved "You are so silent there, Isis…Is everything alright with you? Can you feel me gradually draining the blood of your worthless host?…She has wonderful, ANGSTful blood…" he whispered while his tongue climbed on her arm from cut to cut, lapping the blood playfully, hissing with delight when he tasted the overwhelming stress taking over her.

Crystal lay still, her eyes tightly closed, breathing, trying to calm herself down, to stay in control over her body, she heard Isis' sweet voice echoing throughout her mind )(Don't be afraid Crystal, do not move. The time is coming, soon he leaves you, I promise…I will save you, I saved you from the fire when you were a baby, and I saved you from that boy in your orphanage. I was always with you, I was always trying to help you for I chose you as my host, and everything that happened in your life was meant to happen, for good and for bad. I was chosen to stop Marik's evil. I will stop him tonight. I swear in the name of holy Ra I stop him!...)(

"You don't answer Isis, I hear you mumbling some nothings to your host, yet I am not sure this is going to save her. I hope I won't kill her tonight accidentally since I long to devour her blood." he said, making another cut to cross the ones on her left. /So delicious…Outstanding mixture of pain and helplessness, grief and misery she has collected for years of being rejected, lonely, treated as a pawn. But you were born like this dear, and you should thank Isis here for all of this…Or shall I add that I should thank her too, for creating such creature like you, with marvelous blood like yours…/

Evil smirk formed on his swollen lips and slightly red lips, when he leant over to her right side, touching her right arm. Crystal let out a whimper of pain when he touched it, and a scream when he cut. The pain there was doubled and multiplied, making her suffer like never before in her life when he leant to suckle the blood, leaving circles of hurt and burn on her skin.

Isis watched Crystal twist in agony when Marik used her to her very BoNeZ. )(You are going to Hell Marik, despicable servant of Seth. I mean it.)(

Mokuba ran through the corridors of the darkened rooms, holding his breath, only the blue light of the cell phone casting mysterious aura around him. He felt like he was stuck in a nightmare, and there were no ways out. He approached sullen doors, watching, searching for signs to indicate that Crystal was there. But there were none.

There were just some offices, empty and regular though they looked a little peculiar in the dead of the night. Mokuba shook the phone in his hand to make it glow again, eyeing his surroundings /No, nothing is here…Crystal, where are you? Where did they take you? I just can't think about anything. Where would they hide you, and why? It can't be Dartz. Dartz is dead, I saw it…Maybe it is the one who killed him, maybe he saved us only to take you again…But why? Why has he waited for so long? Why does he need you anyway?.../ Another floor and still nothing. Mokuba looked on the number as he climbed. 5.

He got into the next office, and approached a table. Using his phone as a torch, he ran a finger down the wood to discover it was covered by dust. /No one was here for some time now…I think they led us into a dead end…Crystal isn't here, but…Where is she?.../ thought the boy, leaving the table and running again, thinking desperately where can the unknown enemy hide his beloved friend, and then an idea appeared in his mind, something really ridiculous and weird, but not as much as his current situation, wandering through empty ghostly looking offices at 23:15 on Christmas Eve. /I think I got it…I have to find Seto immediately!.../ the boy started running as fast as he could /I have to hurry, every second counts…/

Finally he left her right arm, after causing her as much pain as he could. Her stomach hurt, she felt dizzy and tired, yet she was still pushing herself to stay awake, to stay conscious knowing well what giving up enclosed. He licked his lips, removing his weight from her. The room was dully illuminated by the distant city lights and the constant low glow of the millennium items, the cuts on Crystal's arms reddish and swollen, tempting Marik to taste her blood once again. He surpassed this need, for he had something way more important to do. The time was getting close, the trembling of the earth beneath him only increased, the snow outside fell now in bunches of ice, covering the ground with white nuggets of concentrated coldness.

"The time has almost come, Isis…" he hissed towards her spiritual form "I have to go. Want to follow me? Will you accompany me in my hilarious moments? Your host is coming, not that she has a choice. Or shall I say she has never had a choice, never – since she was born as your host, your pawn. I'm going again to a special place in the Shadow Realm, the closest I can get to Hell…" Marik took the millennium Rod into his left, and glanced evilly at Crystal's blind eyes "I wonder if she loses another sense when pass this time…Maybe she won't be able to hear the screams of my puppetz when I realign…We just have to see, right?" he laughed maliciously near Crystal's face, his Rod gleaming in the semi darkness.

Crystal held her breath as a familiar feeling tore her body, the feeling of transferring into the Shadow Realm. Gradually, the pain in her arm slightly vanished, and the burn in her eyes was a little relieved although she still couldn't open them. )(I'm taking over,)( Crystal heard Isis before she felt herself being gently pushed aside in her mind, Isis took control over her )(Now listen carefully, Crystal. Do not fear anything he does; don't forget I will protect you. I'm not going to let him master Hell's power, I just need him to open the trap for himself. Then I'll destroy him for he brought too much mourn and death on this earth. Just keep yourself awake, or you may lose your soul also…)(

Crystal nodded mentally, willing to push herself harder in order to stay awake /All my life…She has been waiting for all my life to defeat Marik…We've gone too far to lose now…Don't worry, Isis…I will hold on…/

Marik walked, Isis following him, he smirked evilly at her, knowing she regained control over Crystal's body "Soon Isis…And you will regret banishing me from your little sky…You saw the danger in me though I was a mere child…But you don't know me, after all. I grew much stronger, feeding on Malik's hate and frustration, and now, when Crystal's blood has satiated me, there's nothing you can do to stop me…You planted the seed of the calamity, trying to destroy me before I had the powers to fight against you equally…"

He turned around, glancing deadly at her "Now it's my turn. I've already hurt your host, but next time I intent to hurt you, to make you pay for what you have done to me. Wait till the powers of Hell are in my grasp. You can not stop me. Not without a body of your own, and not with this weakened body of your host, this pathetic girl. She is going to drop down unconscious any minute now…" the smirk on his face grew wider "And then you'll pay. I swear you'll pay, I swear you'll beg for mercy on your knees in front of me."

"You chose the wrong way, Marik." Isis said quietly.

"Wrong way?" he turned to her "Yes, it was so wrong, dear. It was so wrong I was given birth. But I think you had to accept me the way I was then, dear, because the years made me better."

"No Marik," she said "I did what I could for you, but the power of Ra is above us all. I've started this story. I'm intending to put an end to it. An end to you," she stated determinedly. Marik turned away, pacing once again, arrogant smirk playing on his lips /Never on earth, dear…/ "I'll love to see you try," he whispered, knowing she could still hear him.

/It wasn't meant to end this way between us, Marik…/ the almighty goddess Isis thought when she looked at him through Crystal's closed eyes /Since you took over the form of human I needed to do this too. I need to defeat you in your way, to play your game…I hate it. I hate you. And pity you, my poor boy…/

"That sounds unreal to me," Seto said, glancing at his younger brother in the dark. Mokuba found him in the 14th floor, searching for hidden rooms and secret passages, throwing random things like computer screens and chairs aside in nervous attempts to find something. "But I think it is right, Seto…That's the last place I can think about. I'm assured he knows where she lives. Seto, I think Dartz or someone of his followers is hiding Crystal in her apartment!"

Seto sighed nervously, looking at his brother's face, illuminated only by the feeble blue light of his cell phone "What makes you so sure, Mokuba?" he asked "I have to admit it sounds…Well, kinda stupid to me. Why on earth would he…Yet you know what…" Seto said when he remembered Dartz' manners "It is the best idea ever…The police would never think a kidnapped person is brought back to his or hers apartment…They will never check there…I think now that maybe you are right." Seto paced to the opposite direction, turning his head to look at his brother.

"I think it worth a check since there is nothing in here. No one was here for some time now, as we can see. Let's move Mokuba, we are going," decided Seto, making his way to the staircase "Let's hurry, if it's the best thing we can think of," and he started to run. Mokuba shook his head, pressing on the cell phone to make it shine again, running after his brother /It has to be logical. It just has to be. I can't think of anything else, I just hope it won't be too late to save you, Cris…Just…Be alright…/

And as they ran outside, Mokuba saw the lights of a church somewhere in the distance. Sighing, he closed the door of the car, and thought about praying, discovering he never tried to pray. He lost all of his faith too early, when he was only five years old, and this certain thing Seto never bothered to teach him. Seto wasn't the one to believe himself.

He drove as fast as he could, it was possible because the streets were empty and silent as if it was the Judgment Day and not Christmas Eve. When Seto took a turn, the earth shook beneath the car, and almost made his lose control.

Mokuba looked at him fearfully, and pleaded his brother to be more careful on the road. Suddenly Seto looked amazed himself "I'm not doing this. It's not me…I feel something strange is happening here, but what…" yet he never finished his sentence, because another minor earthquake shook the road beneath the car, making it change ten directions in a very dangerous manner. Mokuba let out a shout, feeling the belt tearing into his skin as Seto was trying to regain control once again.

"What was that?" asked Mokuba when his brother managed to drive normally again "It was like something under us was trying to…"

"A little earthquake, or something like this," Seto said, amazed "But it has never happened before, not in Domino. And we are far away from any tectonic area…"

"What can be the cause of this then?" asked Mokuba frightfully when they continued on their way. Seto shook his head "I don't know," he replied thoughtfully then he asked "Tell me when I have to turn Mokuba," the kid nodded and watched the road /Something is…Very strange here…/

Mokuba couldn't tell what was going on, but he felt something strange crawling into his mind. Suddenly his mouth was too dry, and his hands too cold…His eyes were slowly closing, as a strange sensation took over him…And for a mere second, a millennium eye was lit in the shadows, disappearing quickly, yet leaving slight marks over the boys forehead. His eyes snapped open only when he felt how Seto lost control once again, the car slipping on the road…A fatal squeak was heard, and then the lights went off…

Another step. Another step. Another one. Her tired mind fought to stay awake and concentrated on her tormented path behind Marik. If Crystal's teacher was ever in her current situation (Which is highly unacceptable since he is the only sane character in this FIC) he might have said that there were things to die for. Yet he was the one that had always believed in Crystal, he was the one that stood behind every success, and was there to console her after every failure. And when her body was somberly following Marik, in those darkish moments when she wasn't alone in her mind, when she felt used like never before, when somewhere in the distances, beyond sanity and thousand realms her body lay bound to her bed, her right arm seriously hurt, her eyes blind and Hell bunch of cuts on her wrists the thought of him warmed a corner in her heart. And only Seto and Mokuba were also there.

She didn't know what exactly happened to them, and she was in too much pain to think about anything when in the hands of Marik, but now she suddenly had plenty of space to herself. All she needed to do was to make sure she was still awake and moving, and the thoughts of them made her regain her strength.

Her teacher must have said something like (You can do everything, and I'm sure you can find the courage within your heart to walk on the edge as long as you need.) the memories of Mokuba's smiling face left the most sweet sensation in her heart…And what concerned Seto…The way he treated her, the time they spent together, that soft kiss they shared /I'm doing this for you, so Marik can never hurt you…I love you, all of you…/ she thought /I'm willing to die knowing you are safe./ And if Crystal's teacher had had been able to hear her, he would have probably said (I believe in everything you say, Crystal. Now hand me that pen, I have to check all these exams your class submitted yesterday, and cry about every stupid mistake you my little students did. How many times do I have to repeat that if you are defining an array you have to write its content before the definition! Sometimes I'm getting…) and at that point Crystal lost this line of thought when she felt the earth trembling beneath her.

Waves of heated air hit her frozen skin, making her shiver from the sudden change. The earth trembled again, and the heat was only increased. /What is going on?.../ Crystal asked, hoping Isis would answer. The goddess indeed paid attention, saying only )(We are getting close. Soon, soon I finish this. I finish my mission.)( Isis explained and went silent once again, Crystal fighting to keep her walking speed.

When the earth shook another time, however, Crystal couldn't remain on her feet, falling down on the cold ground below with a scream. The forceful impact brought pain into her body once more, she felt the cuts on her arms throbbing in the distances, suddenly renewing contact with her physical body. Marik didn't fall, slowing his pace, expertly regaining the balance as Crystal felt the shadows in front of them changing their mysterious forms.

No more murky mists and lifeless hovering shades, but something solid, black and evil, fizzing and hissing like acid, pentagrams on both sides, and Marik's lonely figure approaching it. Crystal was getting the gloomy picture when Isis' senses reacted to the view. She was anxious, and Crystal felt like something was constantly fluttering through her thoughts, suddenly strange memories and sensation appeared in her mind, they weren't hers, but at the same time they were somehow familiar to her. /Are these…? The Gates Of Hell…/ Crystal found herself shuddering on the cold sphere, both from the pain and the fear /And what is waiting us there? I feel the earth rocking under me, and strange wind is blowing on my skin…I have to be brave, I have to go after Marik even if I can't see…/ Pushing herself back to her feet, Crystal allowed Isis guide her as she stumbled, almost falling again, trying to reach Marik.

)(Crystal,)( she heard the goddess mumble in her ear softly )(I'm sorry. All of this happened because of me.)( Crystal didn't seem to understand what exactly the secretive woman goddess meant, and she didn't pay much attention to it either, because Marik approached the gates she saw through the golden eyes of her other essence, and stood there, holding his Rod in his left and touching the left pentagram with his right…He turned around to look at Isis once again. An awful smirk formed on his face when he raised the Rod in his hands. Crystal's body jolted up in pain, a whimper escaped her mouth as a millennium eye forcefully appeared on her forehead, causing Isis' control to slip, as Marik pushed Crystal deep into her mind once again, the void remaining in his grasp. She lay, motionless on the cold plain until he moved the Rod, making her stand up. /No…Stop…/ she tried to push the devious esteem away, but he was too strong to be pushed away so easily.

"I've dreamt about this day for ages, Isis…I dreamt how you would see me mastering a power you could only dream of. I needed you back then, dear…I need you now to make my wish come true…" Marik waved his Rod, making Crystal to step forward again "…Or your worse nightmare, shall I say, because very soon your host is no more, and her power of ancient Egypt she even doesn't know how to use will serve me. But you were the one who planned this, right? So what happened to your magnificent plans?" Marik laughed when Crystal continued her walk toward him, without stopping on her place although he felt her resisting. Isis couldn't interfere in his actions "Go ahead, fill your host's ears with lies just like I treated mine. Or are you scared? Are you finally scared from me, the great Isis herself?" Marik laughed again, pushing Crystal's mind so hard she screamed, her voice hollow and agonized "But you know what? Malik is somewhere near here, his life worth the Hell I'm about to open. He was just another pawn of mine, you know. They all are puppetz of mine. I swore I'll destroy this sick world the minute you throw me away, when you left me alone…" his eyes glowed with red hatred toward the goddess in the form of a human girl "I'll make you pay for disowning me, Isis. When the gods and the people turned their back on me, the demons of hatred and bitterness were all what I got left."

Crystal was getting closer and closer. Marik stood and waited for her "Now come, come closer to me, Isis…Come into my arms, let me hold you…" he laughed bitterly and fought the urge to make Crystal faint there and then by pressing on her mind "Your lost brother is waiting…You don't seem so happy to meet me, after all those years, after all you had done to me…"

Crystal went silent inside the corridors of her mind when Isis spoke throughout her tightly closed lips "You made me hate you, Marik…I would never…"

"Face it, Isis. You betrayed me. You were the one that couldn't accept me. You chased me away when I was too young to fight you." Marik looked at her from the corners of his eyes "You thought I could never regain control, I could never sustain myself after I was deprived of heaven powers. Yet I made it out; I found the way; I found Malik…The one that almost lost all hope…Yes, he was perfect for me, born to darkness, lived in gloom every single second…I got into him via the venom of that snake…I merged into his blood, tasting him for the first time…But he wasn't enough. He was too weak. And while you were resting on your velvet clouds I felt the blood rotting inside my stomach for you made me a monster, Isis. But I don't regret anything, you hear me? I don't regret anything!" his right hand caught Crystal's arm and pulled her to him. He heard her screaming )(Leave me alone! Let go of me!)( but her body remained silent because she was trapped so deep inside her mind.

Marik laughed as he rested his hand around Crystal's waist in a painful grip "Stay quiet, dear," he said. "Marik…" Isis' voice trailed through the mists around the gate "Don't do this. Just don't."

He smirked, closing his eyes away from her. "Too late now." He said, and with his Rod he touched the left pentagram.

A horrible squeak filled Crystal's ears till she felt alarm sounds ringing all over her hurting head. Awful noises from beyond, broken glass and heavy metal, waves of hot flames and black fog washed over her and Marik. She felt the lack clean air in her lungs and started coughing. Marik wasn't affected at all. Crystal felt him moving near her, still holding her, till he got a deck of Duel-Monsters cards out of his pocket, his fingers lightly tracing the rims of them /My deck…The one that helped me through the years…The one that kept Malik's mind busy, and showed me the future so many times it became a present./

Isis watched Marik as she hovered above him and Crystal )(You have no way back, you have already decided. You couldn't change your mind…You have to pay for being so stubborn…)( and at the same time, an annoying feeling bit into her heart, feeling the ground beneath shaking and breaking, feeling the heat of the eternal inferno as the sounds became more and more alive.

Marik cut his deck into two packs. Picking up half of the cards he dragged Crystal to the abyss nearby. Staring down, he couldn't see the lava streaming there because of the thick black fogs that covered the pit. Hell needed its sacrifice. You can not claim over the power of eternal shadows before you give them something as advance payment.

"Great power of the darkness, hidden power of the dead, take everything I give you, and rush so far ahead…" mumbled Marik in Egyptian, the words young Malik had once learnt while leaning over an old book "Hear my call and rise up to me, destroy this earth and then devour my arch enemy…" Crystal, who was gradually regaining the painful control over her body, let out a gasp of surprise when she heard the strange sounds around her. A cloud of Monsters appeared from Marik's cards, building in the thickness of the Shadow Realm. His monsters were making noises, trampling the air below them and humming silently. And although she couldn't see them, she felt their magical beings appearing somewhere near her. Marik smirked evilly when he threw the cards into the immense nothingness of Hell.

)(That's it. Now you are doomed, Marik, you did the last mistake of your life. Now I can…)( She raised her hands in the air, her mouth open to say the sacred words and wake her plan to life, a feeling of victory already lingering in her stomach when Suddenly…

"Are here you come," Marik said, grabbing Crystal's left arm. She let out a cry when she was pulled so roughly. "Your blood has the taste of ANGST heaven, so when your ancient Egyptian power is offered to Hell, it will last eternally down the fields of flames…"

Isis was frozen on her spot. Crystal felt him close to her, his breath on her face before his lips gently touched hers, she tasted the metallic taste of blood, her own blood…She squirmed in his arms, and she felt him pushing her away.

She expected to find herself hitting the ground.

Yet she never hit the ground.

No.

She fell down, her blind eyes burning, her back first into the fiery chasm of doom…

FAB: Too long to update once again…Well sorry. Please don't forget to REVIEW! if you have any comments. Constantly searching for some turn in the plot…

Have a nice weekend, and don't forget to burn some Physics notebooks! Anybody wants to donate some to my private bonfire?
