It's been 3 days since the incident at the wedding, and Yami's search team has found no signs of Yugi yet. An odd coldness cooled the night sky at the Palace, and Yami was having trouble sleeping due to the cold. Unable to fall back asleep, he sat up and rubbed his eyes to help him fully wake up. A light sound of wind was outside, like flurries of cold wind was just outside his big window. Wanting to see what was outside, he put his night robe on that was hanging on a coat rack next to his bed, and put on his white flats.
"Hmm, what is that outside?" he mumbled to himself, striding to the grand window's handle to open the curtains. With both hands, he pulled the handle down, which allowed for the curtains to be opened. When he walks back a little to see the whole view of outside, a historical sight was before him.
Snow was gracefully falling from the sky, cold winds blowing throughout the entire city. The city was drizzled with a blanket of snow, which covered the great pyramids.
Yami was in awe, mouth agape at the beauty and wonder of the little white crystals called snow. He was so in awe, he couldn't say anything, just stare at the beauty of New Egypt covered in snow.
Just then, a thick and cold fog covered the grand window, making it very hard to see anything outside. This made Yami raise an eyebrow, for he noticed the fog was beginning to clear in the shape of letters. The letters cleared to words, the words to phrases, and then the phrases...to a Bible verse.
In the cleared fog on the window, Yami backed away and read the following Bible verse that appeared on the grand window:
Psalms 51: 1-2, 6-7
God, be merciful to me because you are loving.
Because you are always ready to be merciful, wipe out all my wrongs.
Wash away all my guilt and make me clean again.
You want me to be completely truthful, so teach me wisdom.
Take away my sin, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
A deep feeling entered Yami, for he was so touched by the miracle before him, he realized he was touched by the love and forgiveness of God. Something in his heart told him to go to the Grand Garden outside, so he bursted open the doors and ran at top speed.
Once outside he quickly treaded down the steps and fell on his knees, grasping the soft snow. His head was down to the ground, leaning over to see up close the grace of the snow.
"Whiter than snow...then, I was forgiven?"
"You're awake, Yami?" asked a curious yet gentle voice to him. Yami quickly lifted his head up, and saw Sababah standing next to a bush, hands in front, feeling the falling snow.
"Sababah, how long have you been out here?"
"About twenty minutes...I think. How long have you been awake?"
Yami's eye lashes fluttered, which shows that he was thinking.
"Uh, I'm not sure." he half said, half mumbled.
Sababah simply smiled, now looking at the snow far away in the city.
"Hmm, I see. It's beautiful, isn't it? God's wonderful, cold creation called snow."
Yami was now getting up, hugging himself since he was very cold.
"It is, Sababah. It is." He then walked over to Sababah, standing next to him and watched the flakes gently fall from the sky.
All of a sudden, Yami heard a whispering voice pass over him from the sky, down.
"Yami..." The voice echoed.
"Huh? Did you say something Sababah?"
"What? No Yami, I didn't."
Yami heard the voice again, only this time it was a little louder.
"Yami..." the voice whispered again.
"There it is again." said Yami quickly.
Sababah was now glancing at Yami, who seemed very intently listening for the voice.
"Yami...do not be afraid...I am the Lord all Mighty, who you prayed to for forgiveness."
Yami's heart raced, as he blurted out
"What do you mean do not be afraid?"
The voice became very clear and loud.
"There will be evil ringing in very soon. Do not be afraid of this evil, for if you follow and obey my wisdom, you will not be harmed. The one that embraces the power of technology will kill the one you hold dear to you, the one you have lost. Whatever happens, do not kill him for revenge. Doing so goes against my commandments. Follow my wisdom, Yami, and you will save the one you have lost."
Just then, the voice faded away and Yami felt a sudden rush of spiritual energy through him, only for an instant, and then leave.
"The one...that embraces the power of technology, will be ringing in very soon. The one you have lost...Yugi? Then who is the one that embraces the power of technology?" said Yami to himself.
"Um, Yami I think you should be getting to sleep. It's two in the morning. See you later." Sababah said, then waved goodbye while walking back inside the palace to go to bed.
Yami waved, and also went back inside. When he closed his room door and looked at the window, the curtain was closed and the wind stopped.
So, Yami went back to bed, still wondered at everything that's happened.
Yami fell asleep right away, but he did not dream at all.
