LII. Politics
All of them arrived at the Solarian continent where the High Sage is wating for their guest to come in. As soon as everyone entered the place, Joey immediately informed Cosmalia and as for the other countries in the Lunarian Continent, Sora sent Genie to transport every leader of the continent. As for the prince, after Joey told him where his house was, he immediately went there and laid the spiky-haired teen to rest then he went to the place where the High Sage was.
At the place where the head of the Solarian Continent was, the High Sage was waiting for the other leaders and so far only the leader of the Cosmalia Continent, Forest of Spirits, and Alchemia. On the side of the Lunarian Continent, Yami, Zidane from Alexandria, Squall Leonheart from Altech, Kira Yamato from the village of Hetropolis and King Mickey from Kingheartia continent. All of them were on the brink of discussion on what's going since the Lunarian Continent came back.
"Is it true that the magical war is going to happen again?" the High Sage asked, growling at distate.
"What do you mean war? What's all these nonsense?" Squall retorted.
"Apparently, the other continents: Cosmalia, Altech, and Kingheartia didn't about our history because they were not involved in the first war." the High Sage said and Yami nodded.
"True but this time, those unmentioned continents will be involved this time so we need to unify our forces this time and be prepared for what would happen." the Lunarian Prince said.
"But we don't know anything and when the Lunarian continent began its descent, we were attack by monsters... strong monsters to be in fact...and also Heartless are spreading at Kingheartia continent." Squall said, feeling agitated.
"If you want to know what happened we can ask Yugi but apparently, he was attacked by my former mage: Marik so that can be put off until later. Now the main point of this discussion is when, where and what are the plans." the High Sage said.
"I see but we must be sure of the consequences. One will not know what will happen." King Mickey spoke in a firm manner.
"I'm afraid that will be hard on my part because one: our enemy is a powerful mage. He know a lot of forbidden magic which is not good for all of us. Even with the unifying nations of this entire continent, it won't be enough!" the High Sage banged his fist on the table.
"Calm down, this is the reason we held this political meeting. To discuss the options we have and to unify all the continents." Zidane said, calmly.
"How can I calm down when that downtrodden bastard is on the loose! Not to mention, he'll ressurect 'it'. Goddamn it to hell!!" the High Sage growled.
"Uh...what are you talking about?" King Mickey asked but before the High Sage could answer, Silent Magician suddenly barged in. Everyone was skeptical on why would she be here.
"Excuse me but I'll be the one to explain this so Master can have his rest. The 'it' that the High Sage was talking about was a monster known as Sin - the Incarnate. That monster is responsible for many deaths and that includes 'us', the magicians of both continents and master's parents." Silent Magician said.
"Sin - the Incarnate? I think an open discussion is needed right now." Squall said and Ed agrees.
"Alright, it's time I tell you everything. You already know what happen during the magical war, right?" Silent Magician asked the High Sage and the Prince. Both of them nodded. "But do you know what is the cause of this war?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then be prepared for the tale that was untold years ago is about to be revealed." Silent Magician said.
- - -
"Thousands of years ago, two continents were born. One is the Solarian Continent, the other is the Lunarian Continent. Both continents wield different kinds of magic and both are known for their powers. But there are other two continents which they are erased from history, the continent of Amenti and the Etherealian Continent." Silent Magician said.
"Etherealian Continent?? I think I heard that continent before. Is it that continent used to be called 'God's servants'." Yami asked.
"Correct and I assume that you know about the Continent of Amenti?" she asked and the prince nodded.
"Anyway, as I was saying, these four continents were known as the 'Big Four' making the Etherealian Continent, the most powerful of all and the Solarian Continent being the weakest. The four continents prospered until one day, the Etherealian Continent did something forbidden." Silent Magician frowned then she continued her tale. "They made a ritual, a ritual that involves using high-level forbidden magiks of the ancient times. That ritual involves a sacrifice of a young one, a young one whose powers surpassed all."
"And that young one is??" the High Sage asked.
"...Yugi's grandfather." Silent Magician said and all of them were shocked.
"But unfortunately, it didn't succeed so as a result. Sin - the Incarnate has emerged and destroyed the entire continent and at the same time, the three legendary demons destroyed the Amenti continent." Silent Magician said as she winced at the memory.
"Then a few years ago, Sin - the Incarnate entered the Solarian continent and summoned the creatures of darkness even the undead and unknown monsters. If it weren't for our combined forces plus 'them', both continents would have been obliterated" Silent Magician said.
"Them?" Zidane asked.
"Yugi's parent's." she said, frowning deeply.
"Did Yugi knew about this?" Yami asked and she nodded.
"So overall Marik's plan is to ressurect Sin - the Incarnate, right?" Yoh asked.
"Basically, yes, but as I've said before all of the continents will be involved in this war. That means he will not only ressurect Sin - the Incarnate but probably the monsters Marik encountered." Silent Magician said.
"Wait! Since when did he knew about the Heartless and other monsters??" Squall asked.
"He followed Yugi and learn a lot when he was there." Yami replied.
"But how? and there's no way he could..." Zidane sputtered.
"He can do anything and as the High Sage said, he knows a lot of forbidden magic..." Silent Magician said.
"If that's the case, the first thing we should do is enter a contract of all the continents then after that we can submit a document that contains what resources we have. But we need not to rush for the enemy hasn't made a move yet." Kira said.
Everyone nodded and the meeting was dismissed for the day.
- - -
Yami was tired from the meeting and decides to go to Yugi's house before he goes back to the castle. Anyway, he can take his adviser's lectures and questions anytime. Sora, Riku, and Kaiba were waiting at the corner of the houses as the prince just walked by.
"You don't need to just stand there. I know what you're thinking." Yami said as he stopped walking.
"Hmph, seems we share the same thought." Riku said, nonchalantly.
So the four of them went with the prince and arrived at the teen's house. It was a plain old house and middle class to but we can't have everything now, can they? Yami knocked the front door and Joey opened it.
"I figured you guys came and you're just in time too." Joey said and the four of them wondered.
"Go upstairs. He's waiting for you." the blonde said and did as they were told.
- - -
Yugi's face was facing sideward near the window. He just woke up from his fight with Marik until there was a knock from his room. Snapping his fingers, the door automatically opened and the four of them entered the room.
"It's not much but make yourselves comfortable." Yugi said as Sora and Riku sat down on the floor, Kaiba was leaning on the wall and Yami was sitting on the side of the bed.
"How are you feeling?" Sora asked.
"Crap, but I'll be fine and I assume that Silent Magician told you to the leaders." Yugi replied and the four of them nodded.
They stood in silence for a few minutes then Sora finally broke it. "That magic you just use, what was that?"
"It's forbidden magic. This magic was sealed because they were too powerful to handle so because of this only a high level magician can use this kind of magic. Also it consumes a bulk of its energy so unless your body is accustomed to this circumstances, you might as well die." Yugi replied when Kaiba's phone rang. Seeing the message, he decides to go and wished the teen to get well soon. Sora and Riku stood up saying that they have to go and see the king, leaving Yami and Yugi alone.
"You were waiting for these guys to leave weren't you?" Yami asked.
"Is it obvious?" Yugi replied. "But there is a reason behind this."
"Silent Magician told me what happen back there...that you broke the seal...Now there's something very important I have to tell you and you must swear to me that you can't tell this to anyone..." Yugi said. "Not even the High Sage."
The prince nodded and Yugi tries to sit up but the damge he took from his fight at the boundary took toll and the loss of his energy. Yami immediately grabbed him and help him up. The spiky-haired teen blushed but the prince didn't notice.
"Marik is also after something...something that will aid him a lot." Yugi spoke.
"Huh? But I thought he want to ressurect--" Yami said but the teen interrupted him.
"Yes and that. But before he could do that, he has to obtain 'it' first." Yugi said.
"What could that be?" the prince asked.
"The Dark staffblade: Destiny Dawn." Yugi replied.
"Uh...I'm clueless here and even though I have a Millennium Itemn here...there are things that I don't know that is way beyond its power." Yami said.
"Destiny Dawn is the opposite of the staffblade I recently used: Fate Guidance. It has the power to control people's future and actions. In other words, whoever possess it, can change the future and can wield if possible the power of darkness and twilight." Yugi explained.
"Okay...so where is it?" Yami asked, feeling skeptical.
"In order for Marik to obtain it, he must break the seal first which is actually..." Yugi hesitated for a moment.
"Yes?" Yami said, urging him to go on.
"The emotion seal." Yugi said and Yami's eyes widen.
"From my findings, I found out that damn seal is not only to seal my positive emtions...it suppresses my full powers and a catalyst of the two staffblades." Yugi said, his anger rose a bit.
"No wonder he went after you. He thinks that once he gets it...he can do whatever he wants like a god." Yami frowned.
"Who would have thought I was a tool for that bastard. Everything that I did is stupid and dirty. How pathetic." Yugi said, a tear escaped from his eye.
"No, don't say that!" Yami said, this time facing the teen. "I know that you've done some things in your life and I undertand that. But my thoughts about you hasn't changed one bit not even a second."
"That's too cheesy," Yugi said, for the first time, he managed a small smile.
"Anyway, as I said, it doesn't matter." Yami said, letting himself get closer to the teen.
"I felt that I heard that line before." Yugi said, looking at the window of his room.
"Uh-huh, and there's one more thing I have to ask you." Yami said, curious about one aspect that he wanted to find out.
"I'm sure you want to ask about how did I use everyone's magic during the battle, right?" Yugi said and the prince jaw dropped.
"Right now, I can't tell you...not until Destiny Dawn appears." the teen replied hesitantly and Yami dismissed it for now.
"So how do you feel now that the seal is gone?" the prince asked.
"...I don't know and as you already know, I've lost my happiness a long time ago," Yugi replied, his eyes looked distant. "I don't know if I'll be able to get it back. The last time I have that emotion is with my parents and I lost it with one swoop. To top it all that, I lost everything that is good when I nearly destroyed the Solarian Continent just because of a heavy yet somewhat annoying teasing."
"You know... it's not too late to start again..." Yami said, his hand was holding the teen's hand.
"I don't know...what if..." Yugi said, hesitant but the prince cut him off by surprisingly kiss him. This time, Yugi did not draw him away and when Yami noticed it, he deepened it. He wanted Yugi to know that he can trust him no matter what the circumstances might take.
As for the teen, for the first time, it wasn't bad but it did took him by surprise. He closed his eyes and let his intincts take over but he has to be careful for he was not well enough to walk around and still needs rest. Anyway, he let the prince explore his mouth, letting his tongue push inside him and then after a battle of dominance, Yami won and they finally broke the kiss.
"I trust you...no matter what circumstances it might take." Yugi said, sleep began to take over.
"You better rest. I'll try to vist you again and this time, I will help you get back everything that you've lost." Yami said, assuring him and after that, he left Yugi's room.
