Dreams of the Past Part One
Aseru looked on at her five year-old self. Her copper hair at this point had never been cut and her tangled hair was always pulled into a low pony-tail. She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with overalls and was sweating like a pig. Aseru remembered the vacation like it was yesterday. After all it was the last family vacation she would ever have with her parents. It was when they went to visit the Pyramids of Giza.
Five year-old Aseru's grey eyes darted side to side. Her father said he would be right back. However, he had been gone for hours and the sun was beginning to set. She was afraid and did not remember the way back to the hostel she were staying at. She heard her name being whispered and followed the sound to a back alley.
Aseru turned away only to be face-to-face with the one person she never wanted to see again; Shadi, the spirit that passed judgment on her parents that day and gave her sanction into Duel Monster World after looking into her soul.
"It seems your wish has been granted. Your world is once again as lively as it has ever been. Regret not your wish, regret the actions you take." Shadi said as he disappeared once again.
"Cryptic as ever you are." Aseru sighed and crossed her arms. She remembered the last thing Shadi had told her as a little girl. It echoed in her head every day of her life. 'Your life is only beginning. Your parents deaths are only one of many sadness's you will face. Can you get past your shortcomings in order to save those close to you or will you do the same by making your shortcomings your strength? The veil will soon disintegrate take this ring and you will be able to meet your new brethren in your dreams.'
"Shadi!" She yelled out while glancing at the ring whose stone was almost completely faded, whose metal was beginning its disappearing trick. "What if I… if I can't…meet your expectations… I refuse to be… just like you" With that she faded into darkness, only to be thrown into another memory. The first time she ever visited Duel Monster World.
Five year-old Aseru was upset and crying behind a rather large rock. She heard a loud rumbling sound from behind her. The rock turned out to be a big rock soldier!
Aseru laughed she knew so little about Duel Monsters back then. That big rock soldier was indeed a Giant Soldier of Stone. The Giant Soldier of Stone that protected the eastern side of the sanctuary. As time went by Aseru learned a lot about the sanctuary and its inhabitants. The inhabitants of the sanctuary are peaceful people or people who look to the gods for forgiveness. This vision was of the first time she had ever met Tala. She did not even have to watch him pull her up into the sky and into the sanctuary to remember his cute baby face. She had teased him about that for the longest time! She even remembered how narrowly he had avoided a hit from the Giant Soldier of Stone and how big his narrow brown eyes got. At that point his blonde hair was to his shoulders and oily like he never bathed but she never complained. The smell reminded her of her father.
Aseru began to panic as the scenery began to fade. She wanted to stay in her dreams where she had a lot of fun with her friends.
