Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara looked up as her hood came off. She saw his face and moved to bow before him and said “I’m sorry my pharaoh. I didn’t mean to hide my true identity from you. I just didn’t want to put you on the spot…I know your mind is full of more important things then old friends…I can handle my injuries it’s nothing to worry about” she kept herself bowed, blood dripping from her shoulder wound.

Bane put a hand on his shoulder and said “like you said…a million things on your mind…and I’m not sure any of you believed she was still alive after all that time…”

Yugi nodded and said “oh ya that was a tough duel. Marik trying to get his body back, Malik attacking Yami over and over…”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Bane nodded and said “she was and still is wiser for her years…she was always fast on her feet”

Zhara turned her head from him and said “I didn’t want to take up anyone’s time or concern…it’s nothing major I just need to redress them…” the hound sighed and moved to Atems side. He bit into the cloak and pulled on it gently. He wanted the king to look under the hood.

Yugi looked at her and said “I solved the puzzle yes but…the rest wasn’t me”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

She’s adorable. I wish we could have seen her more

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara froze when she heard his voice and moved to hide the wound and said “no my pharaoh, I’m alright. Just cleaning up after the tests…” the hound grumbled and moved to push Atem closer, so he could hear her better and maybe even pick up her scent. He had to move the hood himself since the hound didn’t have thumbs.

Mana was watching from a pillar, her hands shaking.

Bane nodded and said “it’s why she knew what you were going thru…and why not to be upset by not knowing her voice”

Yugi blinked and said “it’s more…Yami was a spirit until a few years ago…and he lived in the puzzle and I was his host. And his the genius not me”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Fits her though

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana nodded and jumped up and down. Then she held out her staff and said “I call upon the spirits…guide our pharaoh to a path of peace and light…” there was a flash and suddenly the Hound of the Guardian appeared. Mana blinked and said “wait…that’s not who I meant to call…” the hound barked and took off running, Mana gasping and started to run after him

The hound lost mana and found Atem heading to his chambers. He stuck out his tongue and walked to Atem, moving in front of him and sitting down, wagging his tail. He woofed softly and turned his head, wanting atem to follow him. Then started walking, not leaving the king behind but making sure to guide him where to go. When they reached the outside and the opening to the flower gardens, Zhara was sitting by the water cleaning her wound and her hood still up.

Bane nodded and said “she never said it but her master was killed by the cultists of Apep…trying to get to the palace to take you again. With your father on his death bed, they believed you wouldn’t be so guarded. But Zhara and Taloh found out and ambushed them before reaching the capital…but he was killed and she was wounded. She had to put him to rest before she made it back…she was there to make sure the Brotherhood didn’t get into the palace before she could secure it”

Yugi paused at one part, near the end of battle city and asked “did I lose you somewhere?”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana shook her head and said “of course not. But we are the ones to help the pharaoh right? And giving him a joy like an old friend would do that. Now let’s guide our new pharaoh to his old friend” she held her staff up and said “a simple spirit guide would do the trick”

Bane sighed and said “she’s been thru a lot…those wounds were from the fight that killed her master…”

Yugi was getting thru battle city, telling about the duels with the Card Hunters

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana smiled and said “or…we led him to her right now. She’s in the flower garden as we speak…we are both magicians Mahad. Maybe a little magic is needed to reunite them?”

Bane smiled and said “I like seeing things go right, when the balance is being met. But more then anything…I love seeing my shadow happy”

Tristen nodded and picked up some bowls to start dishing up. Yugi was talking to Cora about more of their adventures

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara bowed again and left, holding her wounded side as she left, luckily hidden under her cloak. She asked one of the hand maidens where she could keep her things til a room was ready then went to the flower garden, wanting to check her injuries without anyone seeing. She sat on the edge of one of the water figures, moving her cloak to find her wound, a long slash, opened up. She sighed and looked at her wrist, the bracket still there. “It was too much to hope…but I never forgot…so it will have to do…”

Mana waited till they were alone and said “how are you both so blind?! You can’t not know who that is? It’s Zhara! Our friend from years ago, the student of Master Taloh. She’s come back just like she said she would. When he needed her most. She’s here for Atem…”

Bane chuckled and said “I have always liked that girl…let’s see how long it takes you to remember”

Tristen cursed softly and said “so Duke grabbed mokuba to protect him? No wonder kaiba looks so mad. He must be kicking himself”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara looked up at him, her eyes only showing as she took his hand and stood up then bowed again. “Thank you my pharaoh…I will serve you with honor I swear it…”

Mana was looking into the room, her eyes wide. She waved at Mahad and pointed at Zhara, trying to tell him the truth. She knew who it was.

Bane chuckled and said “he has that trouble now in his life now as well…”

Yugi said “it will make sense when you see how we play the game”

Tristen looked at Marik and said “mind filling us in?”
