Chapter #1: In the Beginning
*~*~*~* Readers POV *~*~*~*
A young woman, 16 years of age, walks bored-out-of-her-mind down a dark and dusty pathway to hear what that air-headed guide has to say. [Why am I here? God! This is SO boring! I learned this garbage in grade 5!] She thinks to herself. She and her mom are touring one of the many pyramids of Egypt. Elaya's mom is a news reporter, and both of them are constantly on the move or on trips to cover the, as her mom would call them, "late breaking stories".
"And here you'll see another Egyptian Carving made about--*checks handbook* 5,000 years ago!" said the blonde tour guide. Unfortunately, she continues, "Uhhh...It says here, on page 8 of your handbook, that this carving was made for a Pharaoh named Yomi...Oh sorry! Yami. This carving was replicated and brought to Domino City. This is also found in your handbooks!"
Quietly, under her breath but just loud enough so her mom could hear, she whispered "We know how to read you moron!"
"Shhhh," her mom whispered back, "If you're gonna say something mean, don't bother saying it!" Elaya knew that this is one of those times that she should keep her big mouth shut. She had a tendency to mouth off to anyone she didn't like, especially people who think that they're too good for anyone or people who act like they have an IQ of a doorpost...and this tour guide was a great actress.
"Follow me....." said the tour guide. As the rest of the tourists took their final pictures, Elaya stared at that rock carving. She pulled one of the locks of orange hair out of her face and fixed her green eyes on that Pharaoh 'Yami'. Suddenly, this pyramid that this Pharaoh wore began to glow, and yet she couldn't look away. She blinked once, saw a vision of the duel monster The Dark Magician and The Blue Eyes White Dragon, then all of it vanished. [Weird] she thought. [My eyes must be warped after watching all that television in the lobby] Then, she realized that her tour group is gone.
"Aw, crap!" she muttered, and looked around, trying to spot any source of life. "Perfect! First, I lost my favourite ring...Now, I lost my tour group, and I'm lost in a pyramid...Just great!" she babbled, talking to no one in particular. She hears people talking and decides to go in that direction...
*~*~* Pharaoh's Tomb*~*~*
After a long day of soul searching, Shadi returns to the Pharaoh's tomb, hearing one of the many tour groups walk past. He also returns to the restless spirit of the Millennium Scales. Mentally, he tells her,
// I'm sorry; my search for your holder failed. I will try again tomorrow to find the one that is worthy enough//
\\ That is alright Shadi, \\ the feminine voice of the Scales replied, \\ we'll find her eventually, I know it! Personally, I don't want to stay in this scale for another 5000 years \\
*~*~*~*Readers POV*~*~*~*
"OW!" she cries as her leg got scratched against a rock. "HELLO?!? ANYONE HOME?!?!" She follows another path and then it leads her to a dead end, "Fuck," she mutters, "Will I ever get out of here?!" She pounds her fist against a rock and it presses in. Unexpectedly, a wall opens up like a door and silently asks her to enter. Curiosity gets the best of her and she walks towards the open chamber. As she continues to walk in, it begins to get a bit tighter. But she feels something calling to her, and she keeps walking.
The walls, ceiling, and floors of this chamber continue to get smaller. And being a girl with 5"8 height, this wasn't the type of problem she wanted to get into. Deciding to turn back, she notices that the door has slammed shut. [OH NO!] She thought [What the hell am I gonna do now?!] She breathed in and took a couple of steps further, and then a couple of steps after that...until she was on her hands and knees trying to break through.
"HELP!" she cried, "I'M STUCK! HELLO?? PLEASE HELP!" She thought to herself that dying of dehydration in narrow walkway wasn't the best way to go.
*~*~*~*Back to the Pharaoh's Tomb*~*~*~*
// I sense someone near us...// Shadi thought
\\ Who?!?!\\ the spirit inquired \\ Could it be my host? \\
// I shall find out // Shadi responded as he moved slowly towards the spot in the wall where the frantic screams were heard. He removed the stone and was soon in eye contact with a 16-year-old girl with orange hair and green eyes, wearing a blue blouse and beige pants with a black leather choker around her neck, along with other black bands around her arms.
"Please help me!" she said in a whisper. She held back all the tears that were trying to make their way through when she thought of dying here in this tunnel. "Would you happen to know where my tour group is...by any chance?"
Shadi grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her out with ease. "Thank you" she said.
"I need to know something," Shadi asked, "I need to know if you are worthy"
"Worthy of what exactly?" Elaya replied with a raised eyebrow. [This guy must be nuts!]
"I shall soon find out." And with that, he placed the Millennium Key up to her forehead; even before she could defend herself, he turned his Item and entered her mind.
*~*~*~* Elaya's mind chamber*~*~*~*
As Shadi entered her mind, he wasn't all surprised to see only one door. A door filled with bright colours, musical instruments and toys. It also radiated such warmth and compassion towards others. However, there was a shadowy area in her mind.
// Probably // he thought, // that was a time when she suffered much grief. This must be her mind chamber. // he considered
// But this // he said turning around to the opposite wall // is odd. Why is there another wall here? It is as if this wall is waiting for another mind to creep in // Eyes wide, he realized that this empty wall was going to be the next mind chamber for the spirit of the Millennium Scales.
// I must tell the Spirit that I have finally found a new host for her! // Then he left her mind.
He replaced the Key around his neck and said to the wide-eyed girl, "You have been chosen to become the holder of the Millennium Scales. You are the re-incarnation of a certain spirit that lives within this Item." He picks up the glowing Item and brings it to her. "This spirit once showed compassion and justice to all, no matter how poor or unfortunate, a quality I found in you." He then places the Scales on a string, then around her neck. It glows brightly and the Millennium Eye symbol appears on Elaya's forehead. "You must care for this spirit, for she shall be sharing your body and mind. Do not be alarmed. This spirit is here to guide you into finding the Pharaoh, because she needs to find him and protect him from harm. In addition, with her comes a great mind with memories of the ancient Egypt she was once part of...Do you understand?"
In a half confused-half amused manner, Elaya replied "Uh-huh."
Then, she felt herself change, she felt the spirit come inside her, using up that empty wall in her mind chamber, filling it up with countless memories that not even the spirit knew of. The Item glowed brighter and an invisible wind blew up from under Elaya as the Spirit took her place inside. Elaya's eyes closed for a moment, and then only her eyes changed into the eyes of the Spirit, "Thank you, Shadi. You have found her." Soon, the spirit was gone and Elaya somehow knew everything about the ancient Pharaoh, the seven Millennium Items, the Shadow Realm, and all about that re-incarnation stuff Shadi was talking about earlier. She nodded slowly as if she was accepting all the new information that was given to her.
Then, Shadi closed his eyes and Elaya reappeared into her tour group as if she never got lost, as if she never left. However, the Item she wore around her neck reminded her that the encounter with that guy in a dress was real. She soon sees her mom coming.
"ELAYA! That's where you are," her mom cried, "Why are you back here at the end of the pack? And what's that funny looking scale around your neck? Where have you been?"
Elaya simply smiled and said, "I've been around. I found this under a pile of sand, that I tripped over. It caught my eye, so I decided to keep it."
"What if it is an artifact?" her mom asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"If it was an artifact, why would it be in the ground?" Elaya replied, noticing now that her answer made no sense whatsoever. She mentally kicked herself.
Her mom just sighed, grabbed her daughter's hand, and pulled her into the front of the tourists. Elaya, bored out of her mind, again, talked to the spirit by thought
// Hi, my name is Elaya White. What's yours? //
After a pause, the feminine voice replied \\ Justika, but you can call me Justi. I am the spirit of the Millennium Scales and I am happy to be part of you. I was once the soon-to-be bride of the Pharaoh Yami and I have trained to be a warrior. I carry with me the Pharaoh's sword [1]. This is a powerful weapon that can unlock and lock the Shadow Realm at will. You must be careful...If my power gets taken away from you and goes into the hands of another, evil things will happen. \\
// Don't worry, you're in good hands! // Elaya smiled. [This could be cool. I wonder where this 'Pharaoh Yami' is now.]
*~*
[1] That is totally made up. It was just a sword that only the pure of heart could lift up. Only Justi and the Pharaoh could lift it.
