NOTE: This is one of two tributes to Syrus Truesdale.
Syrus Vs. The First of Three
In Anchient Egypt, before the millenium items were made, before Pharoahs cruel, there was but the one god. The one faith which is has evolved into several faiths and many believe in. However, as I write of Egyption Gods, the faith of not one religion but all are being wavered by those few who do not believe. This is a cry for you all to tak a stand, to promise to get your freedom back whether you be Hebrew, Budhist, Christian, Morman, or even Hindu, we must stand for our right to believe and express those beliefs.
"Wow Jaden, I can't believe how well you beat that Rebecca girl. I hope that I can be that good . . . " Syrus said his head falling as he contemplated his thoughts. The wind blew and whistled in the trees. The day was sunny and bright, but as Jaden looked over at his melancholy friend, his heart seemed to slow and his body became cold. It felt like his life would be drained if he did not comfort his best friend.
"Oh come on buddy, you are a great duelist, and whenever you believe in yourself you sometimes play better than me." He said with a smile. He meant every word, because he knew that if he would just believe in himself that he could be a great duelist. Syrus looked at Jaden but still, he felt the same way. Jaden is just saying that he thought He knows as well as I do that I am not worth his, or anyone's time.
As they continued, a young girl, who seemed to have just appeared, began walking beside them. Sy looked at her because she came up on his side. The girl was beautiful with her crimson eyes, which glistened like a Rubies in the sun and her hair was gold, which had red streams caressing the strands of blonde. Her skin was tan like the sands of Egypt. Her face seemed stressed yet caring . . . loving...and her smile seemed to beam on Syrus like the sun itself. "He-hello, how are you doing today?" Syrus asked extremely politely, however nervous.
"Oh, hello there," She began. Her voice was musical, as if she were singing and was as sweet as the blue bird's song. "I am doing very well today. I am sure you are also doing well yourselves?"
"Oh yes we are fine..." At this point it struck Syrus that he had not introduced himself. He felt embarrassed for his rudeness. "Oh how rude of me," he started again. "My name is Syrus and this is my good friend Jaden... but you can call me Sy if you want."
"It is nice to meet the both of you." She began smiling. "My name Ferlis Risosi (Fur-lis Riz-O-zi)."
"Nice to meet you Ferlis."
"Hey, you know what would be fun?" She exclaimed suddenly. "We should duel, unofficially of course, but it would be really fun!"
Syrus stared at her and came to a halt in his walking, which up till this point had been on auto-pilot. Jaden stopped and stared at the girl, not caring for her remarkable beauty but for the challenge. She had stopped still smiling widely with her eyes closed, waiting for the answer.
"Of course he will accept!" Jaden said patting Syrus hard on the back. This caused Syrus glasses to fall to the tip of his nose, and he immediately straightening them he realized what he let Jaden volunteer him for.
"What!" Syrus exclaimed. Ferlis pulled her extra duel disk out of her bag, so that way, instead of using the tournament ones, the match would be unofficial. The Disk was odd and had heiroglyphs all over it. Itfunctioned diffrently and Jaden had never seen it before. It looked like it was made out of the same materials of the pyramids.
Syrus reluctantly set his deck in the compartment, while she yelled, "Diaha!
"What does that mean?" Jaden asked, thinking aloud.
"It means serious trouble." Came Bastion voice, followed by himself fro the bushes behind Jaden. "The word sounds Egyptian and from the look of that duel disk, she is no rooky."
"Why do you say that? I mean, it is cool and everything but how can that show she is great."
"Well, it is nearly one of a kind. It was given at the World Championship a few years ago." Bastion's face looked as if he were questioning himself. "But I thought there were only two, one was given to the king of games, yugi, and another to the champion of that tournament, who is not her."
"Well you haven't told me that cool function yet..."
"You see Jaden, a man named Professor Hawkings discovered that Egyption played the game with stone tablets, and that is exactly what these disk do. It gives the modern version an anchient spin. This disk will work for both of them."
"Sir, you know a lot about this duel disk, but here is some information that you didn't know."
"And what is that?" Bastion snapped
"That this is a shadow game." She then turned her head towards Syrus who looked confused and worried. "I guess I had better start of slow, huh? I draw. Now I will summon The Forgiving Maiden in defense mode(800/2000)," At the moment the card hit the duel disk, the ground errupted and a blank stone slab arose from the fissure of earth. Then, a picture of the Maiden appeared on the slab, as if it were drawn right then, from the bottom up. The stone glowed as a ghostly image from the picture came to life in front of them. "And I then play two cards face down. Your turn Syrus." She smiled at Syrus, innocently. A shadow game... He thought. His mind was racing and his breathing increased. Will...will I die here. No, it won't be death, I will have no soul for the next life. I will...
"Hey SY!" Began the excited Jaden, "You gonna make a move or what?"
"Huh, Oh, ok . . . My move, I draw!" Let me see here, I wonder what will happen if "I play Fissure!" Immediately, the stone slab crumbled and collapsed into the earth from whence it came.
"I follow that up by summoning Patroid in attack mode!"
"Sy, don't give up, you only forgot to use Patroid ability to look at 1 of my face downs, it is no big deal." Syrus remembered those words and declared, "I use my monster's special ability to look at one of your face down cards, and I choose the one on the left!" The card revealed itself by lifting up to show Syrus what the young and beautiful girl had waiting for him.
"It is my trap titled Good Goblin House Keeping."
"Huh? I haven't even heard of that card." Jaden admitted while thinking aloud.
"I have, it is a pretty rare card. It let's the user draw one card plus an extra for every copy of it in the grave." Bastion said in a knowledgeable tone.
"Good, then you have nothing to stop this." Syrus said to Ferlis, after overhearing Bastion's explanation. "So now my vehicroid, attack her directly." The Patroid (1200/1200) Ferlis took the damage directly but whispered to herself. "Good he has learned from past mistakes, he passes the first test." She looked at my hand, Now it is time to up my level and test this duelist to his true potential.
"It is my move!" she declared while drawing her card. "Now I reveal my face down cards." The two cards rose up, revealing to be the same card. "And since I have two, and they will let me each draw one plus an additional on my second since the first will be in the grave." She drew her three cards and looked at her hand. "Now I place two cards face down and I play the card stray lambs. This special summons two lamb tokens in defense mode(0/0)." One slab came up with a pictre of two lambs, which instanly came to life from the slab. " Next, I play Shallow Grave." With this card, the shattered stone reassembled, but remained blank. " Now, we can each special summon one monster in from our grave in face down defense mode." She smiled cooly from behind her hand, which held five cards. She knew he had no monsters to special summoned and quietly laughed at her own ingenious play. " I then tribute all three of these cards to play a monster in face down defense mode!" An Enormous slab emerged from the separated ground.
"Three...three monsters" Bastion began...startled, shock... "some cards have effect by summoning by tributing three monsters but if it is set, it can only be..." Could she really have...
"Syrus! FORFEIT THE DUEL OR YOU WILL NOT LIVE!" Jaden looked at Bastion, he had never lost his cool before and was obviously troubled by what had happened.
"Don't forfeit Sy, It isn't over yet!"
"Wow, I don't think I could ever get out of this. I am gonna forfeit...but let's see what I woulda drawn..."Syrus picks up the card and looks at it. "WOW! This changes everything."
"Yeah Sy, too bad you already forfeited..."
Even If I face Hell on earth Syrus' thought chain started I will NEVER give up.
"Then I play, Book of Taiyou! This allows me to flip one face down card face up."
Bastion regained his cool and commented on the play before the slab revealed the card. "An excellent play, normally you cannot summon when Stray Lambs is played but with that combo, her summon to happen on this turn." the already
"Now I reveal the greatest card in my entire dueling deck, Saint Dragon-God of Osiris!" She exclaimed in a voice that mimicked the roar of the monster whose image appeared on the slab. Then, night seemed to come as clouds of darkness rolled over the sky, sun, and stars. Thunder shook the heaven and earth. A king watched, as his servant burst fourth from his stone prison. And this girl of ruby beauty stood on the head of the Divine. As she was carried with her beast unto the sky with grace and skillful balance, she announced, " Do you not see? I am the incarnation of Osiris! God of the Sun and Blessings of the Nile!"
AN: I APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING OFF HERE! Okay I bet you all did not see that coming in previous chapters. This was three and a half pages! I never expected this duel to be so long. Also I will be really happy if someone could name all my foreshadowing that she is the God Osiris(Incarnation was not foreshadowed, but a last minute thought.)
I also will give you an example of the foreshadowing. Her deck's first move was defensive then draw. (Typical Osiris Theme.)
There are three that I know of off the top of my head, so happy hunting! (My answers will be given at the beginning of the next chapter!
