This is YamiTiger wishing you all Happy New Years with ch 15 of Dark and Light from the past. I'm having serious writer's block at the beginning, so bare with me.

Yami awakes in a room and the first thing he notices is the comfortable cot he lays on it brings back a sense of nostalgia, but he doesn't understand why. He feels the puzzle around his neck, but now it's whole, he doesn't feel is light's presence.

/Are you there Yugi/ he thinks as he begins to panic. When he hears no response a dull emptiness sweeps over him. Much like when he lost Yugi to the seal.

He closes his eyes and ventures into the puzzle to find himself in the darkness of his soul room. He opens the door to the outside, and sees Yugi's soul room but the door was shut.

Why is the door shut? He wonders it's always been open. He tries the door to find it locked and the eye of Horus appears on the door. Something is wrong he thinks this is all wrong, very wrong.

He leaves the puzzle and opens his eyes to hear frantic knocking. Then shouting "Pharaoh are you ok pharaoh" then "We are coming in pharaoh"

"There is no need I am fine, you all may return to your duties" Yami answers them hoping to ease their nerves. With that he hears footsteps and then silence.

With this new found peace he investigates his room further to find a very lavishly furnished room. With a king sized bed embellished with amethyst embroidered sheets, a double wide dresser made of fine wood, a trunk made of gold with encrusted rubies, and a full length mirror rimmed with gold and hieroglyphics.

/This room is by far too regal and lavish for my liking/ he thinks to Yugi, but then remembers he will get no response, but his shocked when a voice does reply.

/It is for a pharaoh after all only the best for you/ replied the voice

/Who are you how dare you intrude upon my mind and soul/ mentally shouted Yami /Also what did u do with Yugi/

/My name is one you should know, and I dare to intrude because I must. As for your light he is well but at the same time not/ replied the voice.

/Those aren't answers those are merely riddles why play games? Where is Yugi? Why am I here? / asked Yami now getting annoyed with the voice his temper flaring.

/I had my reasons I had to make sure you had your memories. Your confusion and anger at your situation have confirmed, you retained your memories of your past waiting in the future/ thought the voice pausing /I am Ra and as you have noticed you're now in ancient Egypt, but you were in feudal Japan not too long ago from your perspective/

/Yes my god I have realized these things, but why am I here? / thought Yami with a sudden respect for the now revealed voice of a god/

/it will be better if I explain these things face to face/ thought Ra as he said this. The hieroglyphics on the mirror began to glow. Then appeared a man clad in golden armor with the head of Ra and the millennium puzzle around its neck.

"Hello pharaoh it is good to see you face to face" said Ra

"Yes Ra it is an honor to see you in person, but I must ask why is the millennium puzzle around your neck"

"I wear it because I now reside in your puzzle so long as your Hikari is absent. I will stay to help you find him, and the rest. As well as to help you stay alive for a great evil has once again awakened"

"What has awakened and why is it a danger to my life?" asked Yami after hearing the last part

"A great evil was unleashed upon the world when all the items where brought together by Bakura while he was being manipulated by Anubis" said Ra " This Evil is currently growing in strength in your correct time in your puzzle's correct time. That is why we had to slip you out of time and bring you all here. Because if you had went through the well you all would have been absorbed by the evil."

"This I understand but how can we defeat such an evil?" asked Yami "Also why was I split up from everyone else"

"We are getting ahead of ourselves pharaoh. I will answer your second question. Because for your first only you will know the answer when the time comes. The reason you were separated is because the evil is residing in the well, so when we tried to pull you out of time. It tried to stop us to prevent it we had break you all up into groups and I hide you in ancient Egypt in the bodies of your past lives. If you did not have one or shared one in your and Yugi's case. We made you one so your friends are all living the lives of their past lives. With no memories of their real past we did this to ensure you were all hidden from the evil.

"How dare you how will my friends regain their memories then!" bellowed the pharaoh now even more enraged.

"Remember who you are speaking to pharaoh. As for your friends they will regain their memories if they come in contact with you." Replied Ra "So be careful who you touch"

As soon as Ra finished speaking knocking was heard at the door with a voice that followed "( ) it is me Mahad are you ok" Yami didn't understand the first part.

"I am very fine Mahad I just tripped over an uneven tile" replied Yami mentally kicking himself for yelling and the stupid excuse. Also why did the name Mahad sound familiar he thought to himself.

"Should I bring in someone to fix the tile then my pharaoh" asked Mahad from the other side of the door.

"No it is fine you may leave Mahad" answered Yami who soon heard footsteps, and waited until they were gone before speaking.

"Why couldn't I hear the name he said at the beginning and why des Mahad sound familiar?" asked Yami as he tried to remember his past.

"I thought it would be obvious they are both from your forgotten memories and you are not meant to remember them yet especially your name."

"Why can't I remember my name why is it significant to anything right now" said Yami now annoyed.

"Your name holds more power then you can imagine" finished Ra "Now I must be going just live your life for now and watch out for your allies. Most important watch out for your enemies"

As Ra finished the mirror hieroglyphics flashed brightly once more. Then when Yami's eyes adjusted he was gone. I guess I will live out my life and try to find Yugi and the rest. With that Yami left his room ready to face his past and to protect his future.

Well that's it for ch 15 I feel I need help with getting actions across aswell as dialogue lately. All they seem to do is talk I'm not sure how to work action into there any tips from my readers would be helpful. Well till next time this is YamiTiger signing off.
