Me: Chapter 2 is here! Yay! (Runs around in circles like an idiot)

Jack: What's wrong with her?
Yusei: This is technically her first real Fan Fiction, and she's excited.

Me: SOMEONE DO THE DISCLAIMER THINGY!

Crow: Fine, Shimmering-Sky doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds (thank god) but does own Sky.

Me: Hah, hah, I'm still pumped for this story. Enjoy the revised chapter two!

Chapter 2

I settle down in the upper branches of the old tree, a spot I recently discovered helps calm me down. Once I'm certain I won't fall, I curl into a ball and sob. I don't know how many times I've had that retched flashback while trying to sleep since the event itself happened.

But that isn't what bothers me the most. The second part of my dream… it worries me. I'm almost certain it was about something that will happen in the future. It wouldn't be the first time I've had a vision.

I steady my breathing, the first thing I usually do when trying to calm down, and I rub one of my wings. The white scales shine in the moonlight. To think, I wouldn't have these if I hadn't almost died as an infant.

My parents never went into detail as to what happened that nearly killed me, but they promised to tell me when I was older. I guess it isn't exactly possible now, since there isn't any way I can think of that they survived the explosion.

All they would tell me is that a dragon needed my help, and now her spirit resides in me. I don't really understand it, but I hope I learn the full truth about it sometime.

"I miss you, Mom. Dad," I whisper. I still haven't adjusted to living at Martha's orphanage, especially being the oldest of nearly a dozen kids. And I really, really just wanted to see my parents again.

So many things will probably forever remain secrets to me. Especially to do with my powers… Mom and Dad had only taught me the spells that would help me get out of tight situations. And even then, I only learned the basics, since there's only so much they could teach to an eight year old.

I know my powers develop as I get older. It happens to everyone in my family. Well, as long as they're told about what they can do…

My thoughts drift to Yusei. He's only two years old. Even though I wasn't allowed to go out much, I heard stories on the streets about what happened to people they called Psychic Duelists. Most of us Fudos are Psychic Duelists, but only after we know what we're capable of.

I don't want Yusei being hurt because of that. I'm never going to tell him about any of it.

A breeze interrupts my thoughts, and I see that the sun is starting to come up. Not wanting Martha to worry, I fly back to my room and shut the window. I yawn. Maybe I'll actually be able to sleep this time.

To be continued…

Me: Hm, this chapter was longer in my head. Oh well, next chapter skips ahead by like six years. Review if you want more!

Me: Yep! This chapter is still longer in my head… and there is still a time jump… so I shouldn't really have anything to say.

Crow: Then stop talking!

Me: Fine! Fine. Jeez… Review please!
