Yugi took a couple of steps forward, his eyes not moving from the dragon that was across the lake.

Kibou turned to the side slightly, listening to Iris's thoughts, before repeating to Yugi.

"Iris says that when Sukai came here, she wasn't hugely welcomed by the other dragons, so she took refuge here, at the lake. To some spirits, she's known as the 'White Dragon of the Lake'"

Yugi shook his head.

"How can this be? She's only been dead a few hours..."

Kibou smiled softly.

"This might not be what you want to hear, but it may have only been a few hours, but that's in the real world. In the spirit world, time travels much faster." Kibou paused and looked at Iris before continuing.

"According to the spirits around us, she's been here many years..."

"YEARS!" shouted a surprised Yugi.

"HOW MANY EXACTLY?"

Kibou paused and listened to Iris once again.

"It's quite hard to tell, there's a lot of spirits speaking to Iris... they're all talking at once.."

Yugi looked out across the lake. He had to get over to her...

Before he even realised what he was doing, he had jumped into the water and began to swim over the lake. He hadn't got far when he was suddenly being lifted out the water.

Kibou pulled him onto Iris and they flew toward Sukai.

"Well, I was hoping to take a more discreet path and not distress anyone, but yeah, let's go the more direct path..." Kibou mumbled sarcastically.

Iris landed a few metres away from Sukai and faced her, ready to defend if Sukai decided to attack.

Yugi very slowly walked up to Sukai and found that her eyes were closed, as if she were sleeping, but her head was up and her tail was swaying slightly, so she had to be awake...

Yugi reached out his hand to touch her scales, but Kibou stopped him.

"DON'T! Never wake a dragon spirit from its slumber! It's a rule us Spirit riders and dragons have to follow!"

Yugi looked from Kibou to Sukai.

"Well, she must be awake, and anyway, I'm not a Spirit dragon rider, I'm a light dragon rider, so i don't have to abide by those rules." Yugi said, pointing out the obvious.

"Please try to respect our rules Yugi, you're forgetting that we could easily be taken out of the spirit world by any of these dragon spirits, it's just by luck that they like the presence of Iris, or we would have been sent back ages ago..." Kibou warned.

"What are we going to do then? I can't go back without her... she's everything to me.. and people will think I'm insane without a dragon... Why do people think you're insane if you're a dragon rider with no dragon?" Yugi questioned.

'Maybe you should ask yourself that question' came what seemed like many voices. Yugi wheeled round to where the sound was coming from.

Sukai...

Her eyes suddenly opened and where clear white in colour. All the dragon spirits had stopped flying around and where looking across the lake and the 'White dragon of the lake'.

"Sukai... was that you that said that..?" Yugi gasped.

'It was indeed child' Sukai replied softly. It sounded like many voices were saying the same thing.

"Kibou...W-What's going on? Why does she sound like that? Why does she sound so... so ancient?" Yugi gasped again, distress taking hold of him.

Kibou sighed.

"She has been here a good many years in the spirit realm... and she sounds the way she does because she speaks on behalf of the dead souls of the spirit lake... they speak through her, as well as voicing her own opinions..."

Yugi turned to face Sukai.

"Do you remember me? Sukai, won't you come back with me?"

Sukai seemed to smile.

'Of course I remember you, you were my rider, I would never forget you...'

Her smile faded and she looked to the sky.

'But about coming back...It's rarely been done... No dragon has ever tried to get out of this world alone...'

"But you're not alone, you're with us..." Yugi began.

'That's NOT what I mean! DRAGONS HAVE RARELY BEEN BROGHT BACK TO LIFE!' The voices that joined Sukai seemed to shout at him, making Yugi jump back.

"What's going on...?" Yugi asked, suddenly scared. He noticed that Kibou and Iris were backing up slightly, away from Sukai, who now had an angry expression on her face and was getting to her feet.

Yugi could suddenly feel Iris's presence in his head. Because this was the spirit world, any live dragon could access his mind.

'It was obvious that Kibou had been drugged or poisoned, as she didn't die of natural causes. The venom that lives inside her is taking hold, making her angry and merciless...'

Sukai started to walk toward Yugi but Iris stepped in front of him.

'Sukai, you know you cannot harm a human if they still exist on earth. Think Sukai, it's not you, it's the badness that killed you, don't let it take over you in the spirit world too...'

Sukai's expression softened and she looked weakly at Iris.

'Let the souls of the lake return, they are overpowering you, let them go and return with us... they are jealous that you still have an opportunity to walk the earth once more, while they don't... let them go Sukai...'

Sukai looked from Iris to Yugi, closed her eyes and bowed her head. Iris then moved out of Yugi's way and nudged him forward.

'Only you can do it...' Iris said quietly.

'Only you can set her free of this...'

Yugi walked forward and put his hand on her forehead, when immediately, she started to glow. Soon, smoke that looked like dragons seemed to appear from Sukai, and dive back into the lake.

After a while, Sukai stopped glowing and returned to normal. Sukai raised her head and shook it, as if trying to shake off a bad headache, and then laid her head back on the ground, where Yugi sat down and stroked her.

She looked incredibly weak, which was bad, as she had to have some strength to get back to the living world...

Iris was watching from a distance, when she felt a peculiar feeling. It was like the world was closing in, trying to suffocate her.

To her dismay, it felt like another spirit dragon was getting through, but not to stay... but to take them out...

'WE HAVE TO HURRY!' Iris called to Kibou, who had then felt what Iris had felt.

Iris closed her eyes and tried to contact Yuki, Siberia's dragon, as Iris knew that it was them who were coming through.

'Yuki, hold on, we are nearly done, we just need to pull Sukai through the opening and we'll be back, everything's fine!'

Yuki replied immediately.

'I'm sorry, but I have to pull you through NOW! Mage's and Siberia's orders...'

'Even if it meant we will have more of a chance in the war against the other armies?' Iris questioned.

'Yes...' Yuki replied, just before Iris felt that they were being taken out.

"YUGI GRAB HOLD OF SUKAI!" Kibou shouted to Yugi.

Yugi wrapped his arms around Sukai's neck and held tight. He felt the world seem to be moving fast, like he was travelling back on his dragon, the world a blur...

Yugi loosened his grip, but not by choice. It felt like someone was pulling his arms away from his dragon. He tried to cling tighter.

Soon, everything seemed to slow down and freeze. Yugi felt like he was floating in the air, like a leaf on a breeze. Exhausted, Yugi let go, and fell back, and only just felt the presence of someone holding his head before it hit the floor before he fell unconscious...
