Thread: Yugiohverse (Draken the Black x True Grave

It was getting late in the day, and I had spent much of the time simply traveling on foot. Other times, I would be confronted by some sort of other monster. I wanted to fight these creatures, but my Amazons insisted that I stay back and let them handle the creatures, as it was their duty to protect me and not the other way around. Since these were all cards from my deck, I figured that there may be more around somewhere. I asked Paladin - since I considered her like a command Sergent in my deck - There are more of you around right? More Amazons and ally creatures? Probably somewhere. She answered. Somewhere? I pressed. Our battle sisters could be anywhere. We all come to aid you in battle when you call for us, but some take longer to arrive than others. I'm sure if our battle sisters know of your arrival, they would surely be out trying to find you. Suddenly, a large green bug that looked like a praying mantis emerged from the trees. Paladin drew her sword and prepared to attack it, but it struck first and bit down hard on her sword-arm. I saw her pain and anguish as the creature sank its mandibles into her flesh, and I simply could no longer hold back from helping her. I stepped forward, then brought my sword up and removed one of the mantis's arms. The creature let Paladin go, and as it turned shreiking at me, I brought my sword down to cleave its head in two. Though the mantis was dead, Paladin began to look sick, and I had to catch her before she fell forward. What's wrong!? I asked with concern for her. She answered Dark Mantis, damn bugs have bad venom... She grunted, then continued I should be alright soon, but I'm afraid I'll be a bit weaker until the venom clears my system. I looked to the darkening sky and said It's getting late, we should probably rest now anyway. Archer said We will watch over you. I nodded in appreciation, then stepped over to a tree while supporting Paladin. I helped her lye down, and then removed my helm and rested against the tree next to her. As soon as I was settled, Paladin wrapped her arm around me and held me close as she said Master, I will keep you warm. As I looked at her, I noticed the wound on her arm and my concern for her resumed. She must have read it on my face, for she said Master, you do not need to care for me like some child. I'm tougher than I look. I replied But you are still mine aren't you? I've never known any of you like this before today, and I want to take care of you as you take care of me. Call it an eye for an eye if you will. Paladin did not answer further, and rested her head against my breastplate. As I laid on the tree, I began to think about a trend I noticed in the monsters my Amazons were fighting. Though a few broke the pattern, for the most part they were all insect types, and I took note that I was still wandering through forest. I wondered if this environment was actually a field card, since the creatures we had been fighting would all be supported by such an environment. If that that was the case, and there were more Amazons out here as Paladin had said, I concluded that if I was to find anyone else, I would have to find the Amazoness Village. I asked Paladin, Where is the village? Which village? she replied. I hadn't thought that I would need to be more specific, but I said Your villiage the Amazoness Village. The Amazoness seemed to know what I was talking about now, but she only answered We... don't know. How can you not know? don't you live there? Swordswoman - who was positioned against a tree that Archer had perched in - answered this time Yes, but our village is always on the move. Where it goes and where we, the warriors, go are separate. If this was the case, it seemed that I would have to track down everyone the hard way. But then another thought occurred to me. Was I the only one who wound up in this world? or had there been other duelists who were brought here with me? If that machine back in Fareview park sent all of the duelists to this world, where was everyone? and more importantly, Wayne, where are you? I thought out loud.
