Chapter 14
Atem was walking through the forest, guiding his white horse with him, holding tightly onto the reigns.
Why am I following her again? She didn't look angry. Not angry at all. But… its just her voice sounded kinda...
Atem's train of thoughts were interrupted by a soft tune. He followed the sound and it turned out to be a song.
Such a sweet melody…
The source of the song was a lot farther than he thought. He followed the sound into a large lake.
It was a beautiful lake. It reflected the crescent moon clearly.
Wait moon?!
Atem looked up to the sky. It was night time.
What!?! You have to be kidding me! It was sunset when I woke up and I've only been walking for a couple of hours! There's no way that it could become night so fast!
Atem sat along the edge of the lake. He took something out of his pocket and threw it into the reflection of the lake. The water around it jumped out of the lake and took the form of a human. It stood above the water in front of Atem.
"you called?" The figure asked. It was dressed in a royal green vest with a matching top hat.
"You didn't tell me that nonhuman things were after the power."
"I am so sorry, being a messenger of the guardians of the afterlife limits me too so much." The figure smirked. "You should be thankful I told you anything on your way to earth. My job was only to guide you back to earth."
"You could of at least left me in Japan. Not in Russia!"
"Is that where we were? My bad." The figure gave in an insincere smile. Atem disregarded it. "any luck finding the power?"
"no, how am I supposed to find it if I don't even know what it is?"
"Easy, you find something radiating strong power vibes." The figure said sarcastically.
"Ok so what if I found the power. What do I do when I have it?"
"You call me. I can bring it to the guardians."
"So I just use these." Atem took out the silver stones from his pocket. He only had 9 left.
"Yup, like to told you on your way here, just throw one of these into some light."
"alright. I thought that the guardians can't interfere because of the barrier?"
"They can't."
"Then how are they able to send you?"
"I'm not exactly part of the afterlife guarding thing. I just serve them."
"tch." The figure glared at atem.
"You're running out of time! Why haven't you found it yet?!"
"I got a little detoured. My best friend was kidnapped by the ones who are also after the power. I need to go find him"
"You don't have time for that! You have to find the power and give it to us."
"What about my friend?! I can't just leave him"
"You can't risk the world for just one friend! You have no idea what that power is capable of doing!!!"
Atem was shocked at his tone of voice.
"is it really that-"
"strong? Yeah it really is. If they get a hold of that power, they could change the world to their liking…" The figure started to disappear. "you only have 9 of the stones left. Don't waste them and remember your mission."
The figure disappeared completely, leaving Atem completely alone, excluding his horse.
What on earth can hold that much power?
He got up and started walking along the lake. He was watching the rocks slide when his foot steps on them. He was in deep thought.
How am I supposed to find Yugi? Lavi was somewhat of a lead but I can't find her either. Joey and the others aren't here either. I had to leave them behind.
I'm all alone. Not again.
What about my mission, to find that power and bring it to the guardians. That's why I got to come back here.
What If I can't find it? What's the worse that could happen? But.. What would happen if I did find it?…
Would I…
Another melody caught his ears again. It was the same song but a different type of sound. It was a lot higher and louder than the one before and somewhat calming.
He looked up and was Lavidia standing on a short cliff over the lake, legs dangling off the edge. Her black horse was grazing on the grasses not to far from the little cliff.
Atem climbed the small cliff. As he approached her he noticed the strange brown plant growing next to him. It was completely hollow and in a Y shape.
Strange plant…
There were some around the cliff so he picked one. He came closer and found that the sound came from Lavi. A twig snapped underneath his foot.
"Why did you come after me?" She didn't turn around. Atem let the reins of the white horse drop from his hands. It walked over to the black horse and grazed next to her. The black horse's burns were gone as if they never were there. Atem doesn't notice this.
"We need to get going. If we're ever going to find Yugi we have to keep moving." He came closer.
"You can find him yourself. I am of no use to you now." I heard something crack in her hands. She threw it into the lake. It was one of those plants, she had taken off the twigs creating holes in the plant.
"what song were you playing?"
"I don't know, its just something I thought up."
"Do you have any lyrics to it?"
"I can't sing."
"huh, I don't think I can either."
"no, not like that I can't sing. I'm not supposed to."
"what do you mean not supposed to? You can sing if you want to or not. It's your choice." she sighed.
"It is never my choice." Atem was stunned for a moment, like her words were touching him with tiny bolts of lightning. He decided not to venture further into this subject and must change it once again.
"What were you talking about?" Lavi looked back at him. "You know back at the river where you bandaged my wounds. What did you do?"
Lavi looked away. If he was going to get an answer he would have to push harder.
"I would like to thank you for whatever you did… you helped me -
"I didn't heal you." She said sternly.
"I never said you did." He caught her mistake of helped and healed. "What do you mean by heal?"
"I didn't…"
"what?"
"You don't need to know, Atem." She said his name so politely. For a moment he could hear her voice shake, only for a moment. Atem came closer so he was right behind her now. He dared himself to touch her shoulder.
"I would like to, so I can thank you properly." He saw her grip her arm when she heard his voice. He leaned closer so he could see her face and his eyes widened.
She had burns and gashes all over her arms. they looked like the ones the black horse had only her wounds were among them.
Why didn't I notice those before?
"I didn't want you to see." She answered his thoughts. Atem backed away. "Besides you wouldn't of cared anyway."
"What are you, saying what I would feel! You don't know anything about me!" For some reason this angers him.
"Well from what I know as of now, that reasoning how you act toward me is enough to say what I said."
She said to so calmly and in an as matter of fact tone, which only made Atem irritated.
"I'm only acting like this because of how you've been acting toward me. You act like I'm a complete stranger."
"That's because you are." It took Atem a few seconds to reply.
"no… no I'm not, and you know it too."
"w-what?!"
"You're from the past right? I saw you in my dream when I was the prince of Egypt." Atem looked back at the horses. "heh, I had a white horse back then too. You remember?"
"I-I do but, we're not supposed to." She puts her hands to her aching head.
"I don't know why I remember this now, maybe its from seeing a familiar face." Atem forced a smile even though he's not facing Lavi.
"urgh" Lavi groans. She moves a little closer to the edge. Her head spinning.
"I don't remember all of it though. Only the first time we met." Lavi slips from the cliff. "What do remember Lavi?" He finally turned around to hear the splash of the water.
"What are you doing?!" Atem took off his jacket and dived into the water. IT was easy to pull her out of the water, but the shearing shocks crawling up his arms made it difficult.
They were both catching their breath, soaking wet.
"You idiot, your bandages are wet now."
"Is that how you thank someone for saving your life!"
"Well we're even now." Lavi held out her hand and on impulse Atem took it. For a moment he could actually feel the warmth in her hand. Seconds after he was hit with another shock.
"OW!" He yelled shaking his hand.
"AH! Sumimasen (I'm sorry)!!" They shared a glance and burst out laughing. Atem stopped laughing first and saw a mirror image of the brown haired girl in his dream laughing in Lavi's place.
w-what?!
He rubbed his eyes and saw Lavi staring at him.
"I-I laughed." Lavi muttered. "I'm not supposed to do this without…"
Lavi got up and started walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"To find Yugi you coming?"She dropped the subject as she took the reins of the black horse.
"huh" Was his only answer. They were about to disembark when they saw something fly across the sky and land not to far away from them.
"What was that??" the said in union. They rode in the direction of the smoke.
wahahaha!
explosion :D
