Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mahad stood beside both Zhara and nodded to confirm Mana's words. For both Atem and the Priest to see the sudden change in Zhara's eyes as she asked about being safe and could rest, All Atem could managed was to nod while feeling hurt and ashamed. "Yes. You are safe now. You can rest." He tells her with a soft smile. Putting away his pain once again.

Cora looks over to Tristen and smiles. "That's good." She moves her gaze to her hand on Yugi's shoulder before looking over to the group around the table. "I gave it some thought....and I want to help. I don't want to be on standby and do nothing with what I've seen."

"Are you sure? It's gonna get rough out there. " Joey admits. Cora nods. "I'm sure."

Seto takes a deep breath to steel himself, making his way toward Duke as he was talking to himself. He grabs Duke's arm and slings it over his shoulder. "You didn't do anything worse to Mokuba. You did what you thought was right. And...if I am perfectly honest.....I...appreciate what you did for him."

Mahad listened to his Apprentice as she explained the situation. He understood seeing as the High Priest's have to do the same thing. Placing a hand on Mana's head rubbing her head a little. "Good observation. Let us help her once more." Mahad makes his way toward Zhara and their Pharaoh.

Atem listened and sighed in defeat. He didn't know how else to convince her. Zhara had indeed changed so much. How could he hope to express what he was fearing based on what he saw already and going through.

Cora didn't know what to say even if it seemed appropriate to say something. Instead she places a hand on his shoulder. "Do you need a moment?" She asks finally.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Atem gasped, seeing what the shadow revealed of Zhara's situation. He could not believe what he was witnessing before him. The Pharaoh tentively took steps toward her wondering how she could think of such things. "Zhara...you are not weak and if anything, this just justifies your resolve. However if you want continue to serve as my shadow, these wounds needs proper tending to. Please..."

Mahad watched, about ready to intervene. The fact that the Pharaoh was almost to the point of begging Zhara, made his patience wear thin. "Just about. She is barely listening to him."

Joey nodded. "We almost lost our best friend. Everyone would have been crushed. Seto got up from thr room and followed Duke after being done himself.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Oooooooo....good question. Probably better to learn it through battle.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

The Priest Mahad watched as the woman he now seen to be Zhara was being pulled and lead by the Pharaoh. He was surprised. He watched on as Zhara stopped him as the Shadows showed her wounds. "Mana. Fetch the healers, I'll watch over them."

Atem stopped when made to though shocked when she down played her own wounds which the shadows showed. "Zhara, your wound is more than you make it out to be. You need a healer. As much as you want to protect me you should also take care of yourself." He tried to reason.

Cora watched Yugi closely, seeing how sad he was. She looked toward Tristen whom told her about how hard it had been for Yugi and Yami. She knew she couldn't imagine what it was like, even a fraction of what they had felt.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

"No, you clearly are not or you would not be bleeding. Now that you are my Shadow, you are also apart of my kingdom of of which you are apart of of my problems." Slowly down so she could keep up.

Yami looked surprised. Zhara requested it? "I don't understand. Did she say why?"

Cora listened to them all interested by their tales and additions.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Atem looked up at her, tears fighting to spill but he was willing them not to. Instead he softly lifted her chin for their eyes to meet. "You could have found me after. It's not like I would deny seeing you! All three of us missed you...I missed you!" Atem said the last part more softly. He then grabs her hand and takes her toward the healers.

Yami shook his head. "I cant believe I forgot this memory after all this time. I don't understand how I forgot Zhara at all."

Cora continued to listen on as they sat.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Atem felt frozen where he stood. That voice. He heard it before, could it be? No. His mind was tricking him, it had to be. But he had to know the truth. Atem had to know. He grabbed the hood and yanked it off her head. To see the female before him as she truly is shocked him. But his face didn't show it. So Zhara is here, before him, after all these years. "So aren't a dream...." He blurts out in a soft voice. He looked down, shadows covering his eyes as he tries not to cry.

Yami didn't notice but he had tears rolling down his cheeks. "How could I not remember it was like seeing her all over again for the first time."

Cora nods though let's it be. "So you left off at the duel the two mariks and you and Yami?" She wished Yugi could see what she saw so far.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

True.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

"I am. Still am. But now I learned something new and understand her pain and why she did not want to reveal herself." Yami answered.

Atem stumbled forword a little, looking back to the hound with a soft glare, wondering what it's issue was. He looked toward to the figure before him and steps forward. "There is a bathhouse for such things." He gets closer stopping a couple feet away from her. "Here, I can take you to them."

Cora blinked quickly, surprised by the information. So was it coincidence they looked alike? She was still trying to rack her brain around it. Though she look more confused when he said that he wasn't a genius. "But you solved that millennium puzzle. And everything you said so far, how can you deny it?" She asks.
