Chapter 6: Back to where the Heart Longed to Go

I arrived at Egypt by plane. It was a big place, it had lots of sand. I wondered if someone would meet me, or if I would really have to find my own way. I yawned, the change in times really took it out of me and I just wanted to sleep. Well, Cairo, this is Katherine Anne Forest, got any answers for me? Anyways, before I left, Pegasus gave me a pair of contact lenses, ones that allowed me to see by electronic signals, so now I had some sight!

"Hello," a soft voice spoke. I looked around wildly, and saw a woman, and she had an item that was similar to Pegasus's item, just it was a necklace. Whoa, prayers have been answered already, well, maybe.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Ishitzu Ishtar," she said, "But names are not important right now. I was foretold of your coming, and I must say I am as confused as you are on the subject of your past, for if the stories I was told by my mother are true, you shouldn't even exist. Did a Mr. Maximilian Pegasus inform you of those details?"

"Yeah, kinda. Listen, I just want some answers, and then I'm out of here. I have my own life, not to be bothered by some 5 millennia old dead Pharaoh," I said.

"Follow me," she said, and began to lead me to small car.

"Where are we going?" I said, bending underneath the weight of some of my luggage.

"We are going to see Shadi, for he was trained by the 5 millennia old woman, and he has more answers for you than I can provide," she said, and a man came and took my bags and put them in the trunk. I sat down in the back next to Miss Ishtar and looked out the window the entire time. What the heck was going on?

We arrived at a small temple that was somewhere or other in the town, and Ishitzu Ishtar pointed at me to go down the stairs and into it. She wouldn't go, however. I thought that odd, but it was okay. I watched her as she left; saying she'd come and get me later and then we could talk. For now, I guess, I had to go find this Shadi person. It really sucks, I'm alone again. I headed down the stairs.

"Welcome Miss, why are you here?" a voice asked, "You may step from the shadows and not be afraid, unless you have come to disturb me for no reason."

"Well, since we're that straight forward, I am here merely to get some answers. Maximilian Pegasus thinks that here I will find some destiny or something and that woman Miss Ishtar brought me here, so what's up?" I asked, not even bothering to move.

"Please move from the shadows," he said, at least, I think it was a he, for he was in the shadows as well.

"Do I have to? You're in the shadows too, and I can just leave now," I said, "Unless you go first."

"As you wish," he said, and an Egyptian man came out into the light, as a lamp was lit near him. I stepped forward in the light as well, and he took a step back.

"So?" I asked, "What's up?"

"It cannot be! You weren't supposed to come back!" he exclaimed.

"Okay, I get it; I'm supposed to be dead, what's your point?" I asked, "I need some answers."

"I shall do the best that I can. My name is Shadi, and I have been guardian of the millennium items for some time now. My duty was given to me from a young woman who was guarding them until someone came to take her place. When I arrived, there were only 5 of the millennium items left, for the rod and the necklace were being used by the Ishtar family. The puzzle, key, scales, eye, and necklace were still safe here," he explained.

"Okay, back up. I don't know what the heck you're referring to, and I don't really want to know, I just want to know why everyone thinks I'm some dead chick!" I yelled, even though I didn't mean to.

"If that does not help, maybe we should restore your memory. You may not know it, but I was left with something when you had previously died and was told to use it in the extreme case of whether you returned. And whether you had predicted your return or not I do not know but it seems that you prepared yourself for this sort of situation. And please refrain from calling yourself some dead `chick', for you were a most powerful woman in your past life, and for the short time that I knew you, you showed me things that I never saw before nor shall I see them again. Step forward please," he said.

"That's a lot of words for something so… geeze, I don't even know why I came here. I'm leaving, I have better things to do," I said, and began to leave, only to bump into an invisible barrier.

"I cannot allow you to leave, my duty forbids it, for you must take up what was once yours," Shadi said.

"Take back what's mine? What in the world… whoa!!!" I yelled, as I felt my mind being tapped into, "Hey, get out of here!"

"You must remember Lady of the Gypsies," he said. Gypsies? What the heck is going on? Who in the world was I supposed to be?

"Let me out of whatever you're trying to pull me into!" I yelled again. I couldn't fight against it.

***Flash***

"You, gypsy, how come you have won so much?" a voice asked.

"I know how to win," came a voice that was not my own.

"Well then, winning against me and my power should be interesting," the voice replied.

***FLASH***

"Yami, why are you acting so strange?" I asked, looking at him.

"I think I'm in love with you!" he said.

***FLASH***

"Yami, I… I love you…" I murmured as I faded upon darkness and crimson red sight…

***FLASH***

Memories poured into my head as if to break it in two. Feeling and thoughts that were not mine yet were mine poured in my heart. I felt a change in my realizations. I really wasn't supposed to be here, was I? I was never meant to be reborn, and what's worse, I had a past fiancée. I was scared and surprised and sad at one time.

"There, you see now? You are her!" Shadi exclaimed, and then placed something into my hands, "and this is yours as well. It is… hard to say, but its good to have you back."

"Yeah, sure. I'm gonna back away from here now. If I have any odd questions and/or I want my mind ripped open, I'll come to you," I said, and turned to leave, and then noticed in my hands was a sword!

"Yes, that is the millennium sword. You forged it yourself. I assume you're returning to see Pegasus? It will be good. You seem to trust him more than me. That is okay, for now. He should be able to answer almost all of your questions," he said, and I just hurried out of there as fast as I could. Why me? Why me? Why me???

The Winged Dragon of Ra stretched its great wings…
