Shadow's Fortune - An Arc V Female Reader Story

Trade Bait I

[(Y/N)'s POV]

Yuzu: "Go, Mozarta! Attack his monster with Graceful Wave!"

Yuya: "Not so fast! I activate the Action spell Miracle!"

It's been a few hours since Yuya and the others started to train. Dueling over and over again so Yuya could master his skills with his Pendulum cards. As much as I wanted to duel with them, especially since I wanted to know how I would fare against them, I couldn't at the moment. Since everyone was distracted with the dueling and no one was paying attention to me. I made my way over to a door down the hall. Opening it showed me that the room I was going to hide in was the classroom. This will be a perfect spot to do what I need to do.

I quietly close the door so that no one out there gets curious. I can't let anyone, and I mean anyone, see what I was about to do. I move to the center of the room and took out my deck box. Waiting for a minute just making sure that no one was coming, I open it and shuffled through my deck. I pull out the one card I needed to set it faceup on the desk in front of me. After that, I placed my hand above the card I set. My ace monster, Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu.

(Y/N): 'I'm not sure if this'll work, but here goes...' *deep breath* "Aslla Piscu, uhh... I need to talk to you."

I looked around to see if that did anything... and it didn't do a single thing. I groaned in annoyance at the predicament I was in. I really needed to talk to him about this. Taking a few breathes allowed me to calm down and think for a moment. If what I said didn't work, then most likely I need to phrase it differently, but how? If we are thinking on terms of dark magic, then I need to say something that's more spiritual or magical.

(Y/N): "Aslla Piscu, hear me now... and awaken!"

After I said those words, the card started to glow with an eerie purple color. That was shortly followed by the Mark of the Hummingbird starting to glow in tandem with the card. Shadows quickly spread from the card and swallowed the entire room. I looked around to see that I was back in the Shadow Realm with the shadows moving ever so calmly. The congregated and merged into a single form. The form that Aslla Piscu took the last time I saw him.

Aslla Piscu: "How may I be of assistance, milady?"

(Y/N): "Remember when I said that you and I would have that talk?"

Aslla Piscu: "Yes, I do. I assume that this is the reason we are speaking now?"

(Y/N): "Correct. I want to know the extent of these... shadow powers. What exactly am I capable of? What is it that I can do?"

Aslla Piscu: "Well, for starters, you have the powers that anyone connected to the Shadow Realm possessed."

(Y/N): "So, I can take control of someone's mind?"

Aslla Piscu: "Along with the ability to use cards outside of duels such as Bakura once did, if you recall. The entire power of the Shadow Realm is at your command. With that being the case, you also possess the ability to instigate shadow duels."

(Y/N): "Shadow duels? Does that mean that I can...?"

Aslla Piscu: "Also choose the rules the duelists must follow and the punishments for losing. Such as trapping them inside of cards." 

(Y/N): "I guess it would be mildly entertaining to use that against Obelisk Force."

Aslla Piscu: "The last thing we should cover is that you have the power to create cards."

(Y/N): "Wait. You mean that I can just CREATE whatever card I want?"

Aslla Piscu: "Not exactly. Seeing as you are very new to your powers and given the fact you have only used them once during that boy's duel yesterday. The more you practice with these abilities, you will become stronger, and you will find that using these powers will be easier. There are exceptions to this ability, however. For example, you cannot create the Egyptian God Cards. To describe what would happen to you should you try is... beyond words."
