WHISPERS IN THE DARK
“So, shall we get started?”
As soon as Fortuno
and the gang left, Joey wasted no time into getting into the task. Obsidian
nodded and wordlessly led them to middle of the abandoned-looking stone
monuments and ruins. He held out his staff, closed his eyes and concentrated.
Soon a huge energy circle appeared in thin air, containing dozens and dozens of
inscriptions and incantations looking foreign to the five. Using his staff, he
scooped out some of the incantations from that energy circle and wound it
around each of the five’s wrists and linking them together, like a police
officer would to a group of bandit if he is making a big scale arrest. The
interesting thing was that once the incantation got in contact with the five’s
wrists, it hovered about a few millimeters off them, not exactly touching. The
five looked in interest at the incantation link and watched as Obisidian continued doing his thing.
With his staff, he raised the energy
circle until it stood upright. It began to shine brighter and brighter until it
was a huge explosion of light. The five had to close and cover their eyes with
their hands from the blinding light and had to adjust their vision before they
removed their hands. Replacing the energy circle was a huge door that looked
like the ones you would see when you go into the royal throne room in all those
children fairytales they used to read when they were kids, but the only difference
was that it was made of lead instead of wood, and it was popping quite an amount
of static. He went up to the door and gave it a little push. It opened with a
loud groan and Obsidian jerked his head, gesturing the five to follow him, in
which the five eagerly obliged.
Once they went through the door one
by one, it disappeared in thin air and they found themselves floating in the
middle of an aurora-filled atmosphere. The five soon understood why Obisidian created the incantation chain line for them; at
the rate they were floating around like being in an anti-gravity spaceship, if
it weren’t for the chain line, they’d be bound to separate and get lost in the
middle of nowhere. Kaleidoscopes of aurora colours
weaved in and out of the tapestry of time and space and surrounded the five
with a serene feeling. Obsidian took Yugi, who is in
front of the chain line, and led them forward through the aurora current. They floated
through the current, going left and right, up and down, above and under in it
as Obsidian led them to their destination. Some of them were getting a little
giddy with the motion but managed to hold it in. They didn’t want to worry
their mates to death with their green sick look once they meet them.
After about almost an hour of
traveling, Obsidian stopped in front of a vortex and stuck his staff through. The
vortex parted and the five finally had the first glimpse of the Sky City.
All their homes can glow in the dark in a sort of dreamy look and it was like a
city on trees. Trees of all shapes and sizes inhabited the place—from the
tallest of oaks to the shortest of birch to the biggest of pine to the smallest
of ferns. Every species of trees imaginable were there, and they were all
supporting homes that looked both Egyptian, Arabic and Celtic meshed together
as one culture, and, as Obsidian landed them on a random rest stop, they found
out that the structure of their buildings were made of wood but were as smooth
as ivory, and seemed to grow out of the branches like some sort of parasitic
entity, but it did not seemed like it was harming the tree in anyway. The difference
between trees in the human world and those in Sky City
was that their leaves were not green, but luminous white and seemed to glow in
the dark like the aurora vortex they were in. Even the branches they walked on
were glassy-looking, sparkled and shimmered like the diamonds in a jewelry store.
Obsidian waved the chain line away
with his staff and gestured them to follow after him. As they walked down
staircases and going across bridges, they passed by what seemed like a
playground for young Whisperer pups. They were happily laughing about with
their game of tag and hopscotch, and giggled as they played house. Ryou and Yugi couldn’t resist going
up to the playground to get a closer look and marveled at the way the Whisperer
pups looked in toddlers’ age, wondering whether this was how their children may
look like if they were their age. The Whisperer pups, who
have never seen nor smelt a human before, looked up and gazed in curiosity at Ryou and Yugi. One was bold
enough to reach over and rub Yugi’s belly, and
giggled when he felt a movement within. Soon, as the rest of the gang urged the
two to come back, they were bombarded by excited squeals as dozens of little
hands come up to want to feel their protruding bellies. Some climbed up onto Ryou’s wheelchair and played with the handles and wheels,
being their first time seeing a human mechanism. They felt rather awkward at
first, but their ‘motherly’ instinct soon kicked in and they quickly warmed up
to the pups, much to Obsidian’s dismay.
Their parents and babysitters, who were
on benches at a distance relaxing while keeping a watchful eye on the pups, caught
a whiff of human scent and looked up to see the five playing around with their
pups. They were shocked and let out a loud hiss, urging the pups to come to
them. The pups pouted at the killjoy and reluctantly went over to them. They growled
and glared at the five and Obsidian, hugging their pups protectively. Obsidian raised
a hand in surrender and, using his telepathic power, asked one of the parents
where he can find the Head of the Clan. He pointed towards a huge palace-like
building that was dominantly Egyptian in design and quickly left the playground
along with other parents and babysitters and their pups.
“Those children are so cute,” Ryou said dreamily. “I wonder if my triplets would look
like them.”
“However they look like, I’m sure
they’ll be the most beautiful things in the world,” Tristan replied while
pushing Ryou’s wheelchair.
“I dinna reli care how dey look like,”
Joey stated. “As long as dey ‘av
ten fingers n ten toes, n a set of wings if possible, dat’s
good enuff fer me.”
“Joey’s right,” Yugi
agreed. “As long as they’re in a clean bill of health, I don’t mind how they
look like. But if possible, I want my child to be Human-dominant…”
“We all do, Yug,”
Malik replied. “We all do.”
After walking (and taking breaks in
between) for a few miles up and down stairs and across connecting bridges, they’ve
finally reached the palace and into the royal gates. They were halted by
bulky-looking guards, but after very long telepathic conversation between
Obsidian and the guards, with a little mixed emotion, mostly tense, one of the
guards escorted them into the palace and told them to wait at the room of the counseling
of commons. The five were getting rather restless after waiting for more than
15 minutes.
“What’s taking them so long?” Malik asked.
“I dunno,”
Joey grumbled. “If dey dun c’mere
in da next 5 minutes, Imma gonna make one helluva noise.”
“Forgive
our lateness, ladies. We were in a middle of an important meeting.”
The five turned to see Lord Seth and
Lord Katz coming into the room. The first thing that took Joey’s breath away
was the fact that he thought it was his Seto standing
in front of him, only that instead of the usual garments he wore, he was
sporting a royal spread, from the royal headgear to the tip of his silver
sandals. Lord Katz, on the other hand, was holding onto Lord’s Seth’s arm
lovingly, and Joey’s eyes flared with jealousy as he saw Lord Katz’s protruding
belly behind its dark red velvet robe.
“Seto,”
Joey glared as he pointed at Lord Katz’s direction, “wat
is da meaning of dis? Who’s
he?”
“Hmm?” Lord Seth was taken aback
by Joey’s sudden reaction, but the realization soon sunk in and he smirked, “Ah, you must the human counterpart my blood
brother is so infatuated about. Our resemblance to each other definitely
precedes my assumptions.”
“Huh?” Joey, who was used to
speaking in his accent, couldn’t really understand what Lord Seth was saying in
that old English style.
“He means that he and your Seto are twins,” Ryou, the ever
studious one, explained. “You must’ve mistaken him for Seto.”
“T-Twins?! I
dinna know Seto had a twin
brother!”
“Did
my blood brother not tell you? That is so like him to disregard important
information. I wonder what my blood brother sees in you…”
“Sorry to burst your bubble here, milord,”
Malik stepped up and said, “but we’re here to see our
mates. We heard from sources that you have kept them in custody.”
“Ah,
you mean Brother Seto, Yami,
Bakura, Duke Devlin and Marik?
They’re…” Lord Katz wanted to speak but was stopped by Lord Seth.
“They’re
in no position to see either of you. We have issued them what you humans call a
‘restraining order’.”
“How could you do
that to them? All they did was being a responsible father and mate looking
out for us,” Yugi said. “They’re done nothing wrong!”
“They
have violated their sacred royal duties to be chasing after rainbows and pots
of gold,” Lord Seth replied. “They
broke the tradition and left their posts to be with people that could never be.
It was a necessary evil to keep them on their toes.”
“All because they
love us?!” Tristan exclaimed. “All because they love the children that
they sired?! What kind of necessary evil is that when you separate a father
from their child?!”
“We
Whisperers do not believe in emotions but to our own kind. You do not belong
here with us or our hearts, and neither should they.”
“But…But that’s not fair!” Ryou cried. “Lord or not, you have no right to tell us who
we should love or not love! Love is of free will! We should be together! You can’t
say otherwise!”
“And
what if I have allowed you to do as you please? What if I allowed you all to be
united as one? You are a fleeting race that succumbs to the sands of time and
dwindle in the brink of life and death. Your lives are as brittle as glass. Do you
wish to die away and leave them in eternal sorrow and curse their immortality? Do
you wish for them to enter into eternal despair and sought the inevitable? Besides,
they have obligations to their own people and their roles here in our city is
just as valuable. Do you wish to deny us that value?”
“Fer
twins, ya definitely dun act like twins,” Joey
growled. “Yer cold n without feelins,
ya dun deserve tuh be Lord
of dis place.”
In a split second, Joey finds
himself against the wall with Lord Seth’s hand around his throat, his ice-blue
eyes glaring deeply and murderously at him and an intense rumble of anger
escaping from his throat. Joey was almost at lost of breath as Lord Seth
continued gripping him and pinning him against the wall, with Obsidian holding
the rest of the gang back and Lord Katz looking at them with worry.
“Beloved, please! He’s with child!” Lord Katz exclaimed,
but fell on deaf ears.
“My blood brother must’ve been blind to see a
pig like you as his beloved,” Lord Seth growled as he tightened his grip. “Has he not taught you to bite your tongue? It
is not in a female’s place—especially human females—to question whether or not
a Lord or King deserves the throne. It is for males to decide. You are no
different than a common female, and I can snap your neck like a twig. Do not
make me commit such atrocity.”
“Brother!!! Release him!!!”
Lord Seth turned to see Seto glaring at him with murderous intent as he saw the
horror he was doing to his mate. Seto was supposed to
expect his twin’s arrival at the briefing of new recruits, but after waiting
for quite a long time, he went off to look for him, only to find him about to
strangle his mate to death. He was about to come up to him when the mark on his
shoulder reacted, shining its bright blue that rode up to his veins on his
neck. Soon he felt the wrath of the Forbidden Blue mark and collapsed to the
floor as his air passageways were blocked and he was struggling to breathe.
“S…Seto!”
Joey exclaimed. “Bastard, what did ya do tuh him?!”
“It’s
the mark,” Lord Katz said. “Whenever
they are out of Sky
City or within your
proximity without our direct permission, it will shrink and block their airways
and suffocate them. Unless I issue them a suppressant, they will die.”
“Oh god no!
Not like that!” Ryou cried, his hands covering his
mouth in horror.
“Seto! Please, stay away from me! You’ll get killed!”
Joey shouted but Seto would not hear of it.
“Won’t…let…him…hurt…you…”
Seto struggled to speak in Human Tongue as he came
closer and closer towards his twin brother, his face almost going blue. He gripped
on the offending hand that held his beloved’s neck and tried to pry it away
from him. Lord Seth released Joey and Seto, despite
being out of breath, hugged Joey protectively.
“Please, please, Seto,”
Joey immediately broke into tears, his heart ached at
the sight of his mate suffering for him. “Please get outta
dis room! Get away from me! Yer
gonna kill yerself!”
“Missed…you…”
Seto breathed as he held Joey even tighter, not
wanting to let go.
“Please, milord!” Yugi begged. “We’ll do anything you want, just stop Seto’s pain, please! Can’t you see he’s dying?”
Lord Seth, seeing Joey crying while
trying to struggle out of Seto’s embrace while Seto struggled to breathe and keeping Joey in his arms, refusing
to let go—and also listening to the frantic begs of Joey’s fellow human friends—sighed
and finally jerked his head at Lord Katz. He quickly came over, spoke loudly at
Seto in their Whisperer language and took a tiny vial
from his robe pocket. Whispering a Whisperer language chant, he put a drop of
red liquid onto the mark. The bright blue light subsided and turned black,
forming a sort of hard crust on his shoulder, and soon Seto
was gasping for air as it filled up his deprived lungs.
“Seto! Seto, ya bastard! Dun scare me like dat! Dun eva do dat again!” Joey cried as he wrapped his arms around Seto’s neck, sobbing like a baby. Seto,
after regaining composure, purred and hushed his mate lovingly.
“It
seems that no matter what I do, everything goes out of plan,” Lord Seth
sighed. “Very well, I shall allow you to
see your mate for two hours. But you must promise us never to return again, or I
will not be inclined to be so compassionate the next time.”
“Th…Thank
you, milord,” Yugi and Ryou
sighed in relief, and Tristan and Malik looked at
each other with glee as they finally get to see their mates once more after so
long.
“Well,
what are you waiting for, brother?” Lord Seth growled at Seto. “Go with your
brother-in-law to give your fellow brethren their suppressant and meet up here
before I change my mind.”
Seto didn’t
need to be told twice.
A/N: This time I changed the title of the Whisperers from ‘it’
to ‘he’ because…well, I just thought the situation suits it, and it’s about time
they were considered in human terms, not like they’re animals. If you wanna get a good picture of how the Sky City really looks
like, try to imagine the Elves home where Galadriel lives in the Fellowship of
the Ring mixed with the shimmering forest that Tidus
and Yuna traveled often in the Final Fantasy X and
X-2 game (I forgot the name of the forest). Yeah, that’s pretty much how Sky City
looks like. Reviews plz!
