Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part II ❯ The Keeper of Dark Secrets ( Chapter 2 )

Inside the Palace...

Priestess Ishizu came rushing to the Pharaoh because her Ka found Kimora. "My Lord!!! I've found her!!!" The Pharaoh's eyes widened with happiness as Priestess Ishizu was catching her breath. "My Ka, heard people speaking Kimora's name inside The Village of the Shepherds. My Ka didn't spot her but I am positive that she is located there." As everyone heard the news they became happy. They all spoke about it amongst themselves but the happiest was the Pharaoh who wanted her to return as soon as possible. "I'll go find her. My Pharaoh I think you should stay here and take care of your people. I'll make sure she returns to you safely."

"Alright Teania, I trust you. Bring her back to me when you find her." The Pharaoh snapped his fingers and a servant brought out a big bag filled with gold for Queen Teania. "This is for you, for all your troubles." Queen Teania's eyes grew larger as she accepted the gift and held the Pharaoh in her arms. "Thank you. Thank you Priestess Ishizu." She said in tears. Priestess Ishizu bowed kindly and gave Queen Teania a hug. Hasina came down the stairs with the twins and 3 bags. "I'm coming too. We're bringing home that girl." Everyone was happy but Maya. She pouted angrily and made nasty threats about Kimora. Queen Teania was given a map and a supply of food, water, and blankets. With everything they needed Hasina, the twins, Queen Teania, and her servant waved bye to everyone and left the Palace, heading towards this village.

Inside the Underground Passage...

The face under the black cloak revealed the elderly woman. "Welcome, welcome ladies. Someone has finally found me. I bet your wondering who I really am. Well...I won't tell you."

"Just know that I am referred to as The Keeper of Dark Secrets. Inside this black orb is the hateful thoughts of you Kimora. From the day you were born up until now. "Why me? I'm only a common peasant woman like all the other women." Kimora said unsurely.

"I know you have been thinking about the cause of your mother's disappearance haven't you? Do you know your mother's name?"

"Yes, her name was Asana." The elderly woman shook her head. "No, her name was Sana. Better know as The Goddess Sana whose Temple you visited to seek answers to your fate." Kimora collapsed to the floor as her eyes quickly filled up with tears. "It all makes sense now..............That Goddess is my mother. But why?"

"Your mother was too kind and gentle for this wretched earth so when she committed herself to Ra she became a Goddess and you were chosen to follow in her footsteps. Why because you are the ultimate Defender of Egypt. As all the God's and Goddess of Egypt were once upon a time. All those bad things were happening to your for a reason. Everyone has a place or task in this world and yours just happens to be close to the top. I tell you nothing but the truth and just know that this is your destiny."

"I'm not even strong enough to defend Egypt. That is the Pharaoh's task not mines. I want to help people like mother but why did you create such a damned object. I don't want people to think I had something to do with this."

"This "damned object" is a collection of thoughts that are necessary for building the eternal memories inside your Millennium Crystal. Inside your Millennium Crystal is all your memories. Once you touch the black orb all its Dark Secrets will transfer into the Millennium Crystal and it won't harm anyone else."

"I feel so lost now..................................what do I do from here? Where do I go?"

"Someone is coming for you. They will lead you back to the Palace. I know one of the Priests days are becoming numbered, a close servant of the Pharaoh's is plotting against you, and a Queen has fallen in love with this handsome man. They will all remain nameless but when you return just know that it will not all be hugs and kisses. Take this with you." The big black orb that sat in front of the elderly woman shrank and the one in Kimora's bag disappeared. "Touch it." Kimora reached her fingers out and moved in slowly until the Dark Secrets were slowly being sucked into her Millennium Crystal which lit up a golden light until the black rob was no more. "Now all the black orbs are gone, your Dark memories are inside your Millennium Crystal and are still growing as well as Diabounds power,

And there is no need for me anymore."

"Wait!!! My mother's disappearance was a sign of her becoming a Goddess right?" The elderly woman nodded. "Then, what kind of sign will I be given?" The elderly woman showed her a small tablet, which depicted the fusion of the three God's into The Creator of Light, Horakhti. "What's this?"

"The Pharaoh has three servants Obelisk, Osiris, and Ra. These three servants represent his three closest friends. Seto, Shimon, and Priest Mahado. That leaves Horakhti another God created by the fusion of these three monsters. And do you know whom this God represents?" Kimora shook her head. "You, that's who this last God represents. Power, Friendship, Loyalty, and Love. It all fits in together. So every time each God is summoned just know that each spirit is protecting you all. You'll see. The Pharaoh's enemies Bakura, Priest Akunadin, and Zork Necrophedious represent Shana, Asenia, and soon Maya."

"Maya? Why her she is my best friend." The elderly woman shook her head with a serious look on her face. "No she is your enemy. She has been trying to seduce the Pharaoh into loving her since the day you left, she will stop at nothing until he becomes hers. You must heed my warning. Stay away from her until you catch her in the act then you take action. She was quiet and silent around you and just like Zork Necrophedious who is being quiet and silent until Bakura summons him. The people that come to take you back to the Palace will tell you something, that will anger you and make you become hateful of the Pharaoh but just know that its not his fault."

"Okay but, why didn't I see this coming? Probably because I thought I could trust her when she was just putting on an act all this time. Now I know my fate and my destiny." The elderly woman sought good things to come for Kimora but unfortunately she won't be around that much longer to see them. "Now that you have learned all this it will also be apart of the eternal memories inside the Millennium Crystal. So, what is your destiny? And what is your fate?"

"My destiny is to protect the people of Egypt with the Creator of Light by my side. I will do it then. Whatever it takes I will avenge my mother and my father, and I will take care of everyone. My fate is too stand by the Pharaoh and protect him at all costs."

"You don't just protect Egypt but the rest of the continent as well. The Pharaoh's enemy is planning to fill the world with darkness and you must stop it soon before it spreads through the continents and soon the world. This is your task as well as our destiny, let nothing or no one tell you differently." The elderly woman slowly began to fade away. Kimora ran up to her trying to hold on but she fell down. "Where are you going? Don't leave me here, what if I need you?"

"You don't need me anymore Kimora. All of your questions have been answered. You have matured into a beautiful woman who will soon have a family and become a Queen. I have done my part, It is time for me to leave but I will not be gone forever. If and when the Light defeats the Darkness it will never fade away only regenerate after a certain period of time. I love you and remember this is not the end...........only..........the...........Beginning."

"No, no, NOOOOO. You can't leave me here, please don't go." Christ ran over to Kimora who was still screaming for her to come back but she had already vanished. "I loved her as a mother, and now I feel like I have lost my mother once again."

"But she's right, I know you can take care of yourself and besides I'm sure she'll still watch over you like your mother does. Now let's get the hell out of here." Christ helped Kimora to her feet and they left the underground passage.

"The lady who always too care of me...Kods...Keeper of Dark Secrets...why didn't I figure this out sooner?"

Inside the Bar....

"Hey girls we were just about to send someone down they're to look for ya. Guess what? That black orb disappeared and now everything is back to normal thanks to you all." They all gave thanks to Kimora and Christ but Kimora was still feeling down. "Hey what's wrong? You should be happy." One man shouted. "Umm, she's just tired that's all."

"I understand. We'll let you two girls go after you take these gifts in honor of everyone in our village for saving us." They gave them each two full bags of gold and Kimora managed to put a smile on her face and thanked the people in return until she left the bar and returned to her state of sadness.

Inside the Village...

"Kimora I know your sad right now but look on the bright side you saved the people and you finally got the answer to your questions about your mother and many other things. I feel grateful to hang around someone as special as you. Look at all the great and wonderful things that elderly woman told you. I wish I were that important."

"But you are important Christ. You're important to the people in this village, your grandpa, and especially me."

"I know. When we get back home, how about I fix you a nice meal to help cheer you up."

"That sounds great. I love your food anyway and I was wondering if I could help you cook?"

"Oh sure you can. This will be so much fun." The two girls hurried home quickly and as they ran into the door Ironheart startled them.

Inside Christ's home...

"I heard about your victory today. I can't tell you how much our town is happy to have someone like you to protect us. Thanks."

"No problem. You won't have to worry about that black orb anymore. You can always call on me for help. Anytime. Even when I am not here..........." Christ grabbed Kimora's hand and led her into the kitchen. "Come on Kimora let's go cook."

Inside the Palace...

"My Lord, the black orb has disappeared from the village. It is gone." Priest Karim said. Now the Pharaoh's suspicions grew larger. The black orb disappeared around the same time Priestess Ishizu found out where Kimora was. Could she have something to do with this? He thought to himself. "It's a good thing either way, now maybe the city will be much more peaceful. Take the people out of their confinement and let them roam freely again through the city streets." The Priest hurried to prepare to go into the village to bring people the good news but at the same time, the Pharaoh was about to get some bad news.
