In The Millennial World

1

Oh no... this isn't good.
Where am I?
Where the hell am I?
Am I lost, or did something happen to me?
Why am I here..?
Thinking that this was just a dream
A rush of adrenaline... but..

Am I really in Ancient Egypt again?

Where did I end up this time?
This isn't good at all.
It's almost like.. my bedtime has passed

The last thing I remember was..
I fell into a hole trapped in total darkness.
I had no idea where I was falling,
No sense of direction.
Now I'm in this strange world,
And none of it feels familiar.
It was all strange

Where the hell am I?
How did I end up here?
How did I get lost here?

As I try to recall,
I remember a fight—
A huge battle—until something strange happened.
The ground itself became corrupted like there was a hole in the sky...
How did it come to this?
None of this makes sense.
I must be hallucinating or dreaming...
Trapped in some world of illusions.

"Ow... that hurts..." Yuza

I struggle to stand while clutching my head.
It's throbbing in pain,
As if I fell on something hard that hit my neck
Maybe a rock, or something metal—
My head feels like it's about to explode like a volcano erupting inside.
My neck feels like there's spines onto my skin
The pain... it's unbearable,
Driving me to the edge of madness.

Now... where is everyone?
Or is there even anyone here?
It feels like I'm all alone...
Trapped. Stuck.
No way out.

Why...
Why is this happening so fast?
I can't get anywhere...
There was no time or no place..

"Mokuba... Kaiba..." Yuza

I whispered to myself
I'm lost.. that there's no sight of them
Why does this have to end like this?
My friends and everyone who i've cared about...
They're all gone.
And now... I'm here
It's so hot here..
I'm stranded in the middle of a desert.

There's no way out.
No way out of here now that I'm stuck

I sit down...
I was exhausted,
Buried in the sand and heat.
The sun scorches from above,
Turning the desert into a burning wasteland.
It's like a furnace,
A hellish expanse of heat and fire.

This was actual.. hell..

"No..." Yuza

I mutter in silence
As I became sober in solidarity
It's unbearable.
I can't move,
I can't breathe.
At this rate, I'll dehydrate and burn up.
I'll die in this forsaken place.

There has to be somewhere out of nowhere
Somewhere I can find relief,
Where I can rest...
Where I can escape this heat.

At last...
I hope... there's something,
Something waiting for me beyond this nightmare.

"Mokuba.. Kaiba... where are you?
Are you here? Where are you?.." Yuza

The heat was a living thing
A suffocating blanket that presses down on me..
Stealing my breath.
It shimmered off the sand, distorting the already surreal landscape turning the air into a furnace.
My skin, already raw and sunburnt, felt like it was being slowly roasted.
Each step was an agony, a monumental effort against the relentless burning ground.
My vision began to blur
The edges of the world dissolving into a hazy mirage.
I reached out, desperate for something, anything to anchor me to reality.
And then, I saw them two figures,
silhouetted against the blinding glare of the desert sun.
Mokuba and Kaiba.

Hope, a fragile, desperate thing, flared in my chest. They were here.
They had to be.

"Mokuba! Kaiba!" Yuza

My voice was a dry rasp, barely audible above the whisper of the wind.
I stumbled forward, my legs were heavy and unresponsive.
But as I drew closer, the figures began to waver, to shimmer to break apart.
They weren't real.
They were illusions
Phantoms created by the heat and my desperate longing dissolving into the swirling sand.
They were gone.

A wave of despair washed over me like a crushing weight that threatened to pull me under.
But amidst the despair, a flicker of something else, a strange sense of knowing.
A sense that, somehow, I knew where they were.

"At last... just bear with me, you two..." Yuza

I whispered, my voice cracked and weak.

"Or be safe... just be safe for me..." Yuza

The words were barely a breath
A final desperate plea before the darkness claimed me.
The heat, the exhaustion, the sheer impossibility of my situation had finally overwhelmed me.
My eyes fluttered closed, and I collapsed onto the burning sand..
As the silent was offering to the unforgiving desert.

At last.... it was worth a try
