Shadow Guardian
Return of the Shadow Wars Part 2
The Guardians' Rebirth
Part 1…
Shaking his head he tried to clear his thoughts memories were now rushing into his head with every step. He hesitated to take another step, but ignoring his hesitation he continued on. He cursed his weakness, why couldn't he put all this painful memories behind him.
He was supposed to be a guardian to the evil the gods themselves feared, he was reborn with the powers given to him by all the gods. Making him a match for that cursed beast, and he still displayed a sense of weakness.
Why could he sometimes hear yugis' voice at the back of his mind, demanding him to remember who he was?
No he whispered I won't allow the pain and false hopes to take me again, never again. He felt his shoulders sag as he remembered the first time he woke up after dying in his lovers' arms.
Flash back
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He opened his eyes and blinked as a bright light flashed in his eyes. He started to get up, but found himself dizzy and he let his head sink back into the pillow once more.
A few minutes later he tried to get up but being more careful this time. Getting up he passed a mirror and stopped, he was surprised to find his eyes had turned a very dark shade of blood red.
He found himself flinching from his reflection he couldn't stare into his eyes reflection he felt himself being judged, and weighed as he stood trapped in a dark pool of blood. They no longer held the innocence they had carried over the years but twinkled with a sense of darkness and despair.
Gathering up his courage he looked into the mirror once more but avoided gazing directly into his eyes. He was surprised to find his hair had grown longer reaching his waist; he had even grown a few inches becoming taller then Yami himself.
His hands were dressed in dark black gloves; his back was adorned in dark red cape that appeared black in the dark, he wore a vest similar to the one he had worn during the battle city, showing off muscles he never had before.
Moving his hand through his hair he was surprised how soft and silky it felt. His hand soon brushed something hard, looking down he was surprised to find a dagger strapped to his waist.
Pulling the dagger out him was shocked as the silver steel glistened in the light. Finding inscriptions on it he brought up for a closer inspection.
It was written in a strange dialect he was sure that he hadn't read or seen a language like this before, but he found himself reading it with ease that he felt that he had known these inscriptions all his life.
He was surprised as he read the writings ''The Protector'' was written on the dagger. The protector he wondered silently what it meant and what did have to do anything with him.
He started feeling a warm and comforting wave coursing through his body, lowering his dagger back into its sheath; he placed a hand on his forehead finding a reddish black jewel hanging from a thin silver chain.
The doors suddenly opened and a young man with long black hair coursed with blond strands appeared. He was wearing an ancient Egyptian outfit.

End of flash back
He was pulled out of his memories as he heard another scream shake the tomb, he snarled at the monster that had ruined his life and taken all what he ever cared for from him.
Taking out his dagger he looked at the inscriptions once again for the second time, the protector a servant of the gods he thought bitterly, he knew that he was probably a pawn in the hands of the gods, it just the way his life was a price for a gift rebirth and immortality.
A gift that he never wanted nor asked for.
He darkly chuckled a gift more likely a curse he thought, but he would continues to serve the gods loyally what choice did he have he no longer had a home to get back too, nor any piece of humanity left in him to save.

''How do you feel young Guardian?''
'' Guardian'' Yugi was surprised at the title the stranger gave him. He eyed him even though the man appeared to be in his twenties, his posture and the way he held himself gave off a feeling hat he was much more older if not by age but by experience.
Fine he answered quietly but couldn't help but feel suspicious; it was true that he was trusting by nature, but after his adventurous with Yami experience taut him to be more careful and not so open with what he feels.
His instincts screamed at him telling him to be wary of the man in front of him, even though he wasn't going to hurt him, he shouldn't be truly trusted. Yami had always told Yugi to trust his instincts, but he felt that he should move from that man as much as possible.
But his feet remained were they were he needed answers were he and more importantly were Anzu and the other. Anzu his heart skipped a beat as her image appeared in his mind, he felt a tear fall from his eyes he missed her dearly.
He wished that this was only a dream that he would wake up in his lovers' arms. She would smile at him and sooth his worries away. Staring at the man standing in front of him he knew that this wasn't a dream, he could feel the mans eyes on him.
Cursing he erected his mind barriers once more, he shouldn't have been careless leaving his thoughts open for others to read.
The man smiled ''you do not need to warden your thoughts from me I will not intrude into your mind without permission''.
'' My name is Mikotto, the son of Ra and his mortal wife Lily''
''Ra'', Yugi narrowed his eyes'' care to elaborate how could you be the son of Ra.''
Yugi looked suspiciously he was sure the man wasn't fooling him only it was known among the ancient Egyptians that Ra had a mortal wife, but her name was never written down in history.
Yami was among the few who knew as he was one of Ra decadents, one of his ancestors was Ra middle child who left the realm of the gods to live among mortals.
As a parting gift Ra gave his son a land which was eventually became known as Egypt. He chose mortality then to return to the realm of the gods.
Mikotto stared at the boy silently watching as he felt the thoughts running through Yugis' mind, he hated the fact that he was going to play a role in what was going to happen to the young man in front of him.
He felt anger rush through at the gods including his father for doing this to Yugi, he did not deserve what was going to happen to him he deserved, and had earned his eternal peace in heaven.
But fate had derived improbably for eternity from the internal slumber, and joining his loved one. But was their choice he asked himself he had lost both of his brothers one to the war and the other to the mortal realm.
He thought sadly as his thoughts were directed to his mother, she had grown quite and seeing a true smile on her face was rare. Loosing Hikari was a big blow to her they were extremely close, loosing her youngest son was the final draw.
Now this, he knew that she had held affection toward the mortal youth his soul reminded her of the son she lost to the shadow realm, with a tainted immortality that wouldn't allow him to enter the realm of the gods .Even though he couldn't help his brother he would stand by Yugi and give him his support no matter how small.
He vowed that he would give Yugi someone to be their for him when he most needed, he will not loose himself completely to the shadows. He may become a creature bound to the shadows but a part of his soul will always remain human.
He smiled at Yugi gently'' the gods are waiting and you wouldn't like to see Anubis irrated he already hates the fact that he had to give up a mortal soul''.
Yugi stood beldewered as Mikotto complaining on how childish the gods sometimes acted. Yugi even though suspicious he couldn't help but be amused, but after his adventures with Yami and what his battle with the shadow beast, things didn't surprise him that much now. Warily he followed him out of the rooms toward his dark future.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of flash back
Yugi entered a large room, where two large doors came into view. If he didn't know what was hidden behind those doors he would have spent time admiring the beauty of its designs.
The handles were made of black gold a metal so rare that it exists only in the realm of the gods but in small amounts. The doors were adorned indications written in the same language as the writings on his dagger.
Raising his arms he strengthened his connections with the ward on the doors and started to form the inactions he wanted to add to the wards.
Suddenly he felt himself weakening as the wards screamed in pain. Feeling his strength leaving him; he was surrounded by darkness as he fell in the black abysses of pain...
