I glared at the ghoul with a serious face. Our eyes met and souls clashed. We were both out for blood and wouldn't stop till our thirst was satisfied. The winds blew threw my blue hair and it stroked her gross gray and green hair. The soil below us rumbled with the groundwater from the tectonic plates of the past. The mood was set and so was I.

"I'll go first!" I Yelled.
"My pleasure…"
"I Draw." I exclaimed as I drew my starting hand. The cards in my hand all sparkled with power of space. They were telling me to defeat this defeat ghoul no matter what; I wouldn't let them down.

"When there is no monsters on the field, I can special summon this card from my hand - Meteorite Philosopher."
A man with a scruffy beard and low hanging chest appeared on the field. His entire body was made of silver rocks known as meteorites.
Meteorite Philosopher (Atk 1000 Def 1000) He was in defense position.

"Then, I'll normal summon crater princess!" A light appeared in the sky as a girl wearing a victorian era dress with blue streaks came out of the card. She looked almost alien with grey skin and bulging black eyes.
Crater Princess: (Atk 1500 Def 1000)
"Her special ability activates! I can block one of your monster zones!" I exclaimed. A meteorite soon landed right in her left most Monster-Zone.
"Then I'll set two cards face down and end my turn!" I yelled. The ghoul seemed to have no reaction my dueling turn and just scoffed as it ended. Her face was neutral as she drew her own cards and began to play.

"Now I'll show you the power of the darkness!" She proclaimed.
"Here…. Is my… Dark Resolve ! Come forth Scorpio Menopausia!" The Ghoul raised her hand to the sky. The earth shook and trees trembled as a huge monster burst out the ground. It was a scorpion with a huge tails and 5 beady eyes, which stared into my soul.
Scorpio Menopausia: (Atk 500 Def 550)

" Her special ability ….. Allows me to tribute…. One your monsters to summon another one from my deck." She gasped.
"What?" I Cried.
"I SAID-"
"I know what you said! Geez!"
"Ingrate…" She muttered as she shuffles through her deck. Her face lit up when she finally reached the card she wanted to summon.
"Oh yes…. This'll do nicely." She licked her lips.
"Come on Deathstalker Warrior!"

From the earth, another hideous monster came out. It was a humanoid-Like person with a dulled body and bumpy ridged abs which lined his chest. He had a long stinger that protruded right out of his body like a scorpion.
Deathstalker Warrior: (Atk: 2500 Def: 2000)
"Creepy…." I said to myself.
"This monster is a representation…. Of the savagery inside of my heart." The ghoul snickered.
"Savagery?"
"Yes….. I've lost all sense of civility thanks to the darkness…. And now i'll unleash my frustration on you! Attack deathstalker!" Ghaslia ordered. The Deathstalker charged at my philosopher, His scorpion tail was bouncing up and down as he did so, excreting venom too. I thought quickly and activated one of my facedowns.
" I activate a facedown - Draining Shield!" I exclaimed.

A card flipped over and revealed itself. The card's artwork portrayed a man and a woman holding a shield in front of a monster.
"This card only activates when you attack me! Instead of taking damage and my monster being destroyed, I gain life points equal to your monsters attack!" I exclaimed.
"...What a Nuisance." The ghoul remarked.
"Groahhh!" The deathstalker was stopped in its tracks by the shield and groaned as its attack power was transferred into my life points.

"... trying to stall for time." Ghaslia moaned.
"I did what was natural in the moment. If that counts as "Stalling." Then so be it." I replied.
"You are such a smuckster bitch. …. I can't wait to steal your soul." She said as she ended her turn. "You know, I've been wondering. What did you steal my friends souls in the first place." I asked.
"... What are you talking about? I'm a ghoul…. I feast on people's souls." It replied
"No I understand that. But you singled out my friends in particular. You attacked them during the night in the middle of the forest. That's oddly specific, don't you think?" I analyzed.
"... You are correct." She confirmed.
"I did specifically target your friends for my feeding." Ghaslia said.
"Why? Why would you do such a heinous thing to me?"
" Because me and my mother hate you."
"You and your mother….?"
"Yes….. We absolutely loathe you, Skye Tenoushi. Your blue eyes, Your waning smile, The ugly beasts you call cards… There everything we hate." The ghoul licked her chapped lips as she said her soliloquy of hate.
" But why? Why do you hate me?" I asked.
"I can't tell you ….. Yet." Ghaslia Laughed.
"Grrr." I gritted my teeth at the injustice.
" It will be a pleasure to eat you and your friends souls for dinner tonight.." Ghaslia teased.

"You're evil…. And I'll be sure to defeat you!"
"Hmph. You'll die trying. I end my turn." The ghoul snarked,

I vowed to defeat the ghoul. -And I would no doubt do so…. Even if it cost me my life.
