Remember Our Past

Chapter 6- A Look in the Past

(Yami's POV)

We finally made it to the finals, Joey, Mai, Bakura, Nobu and Marik are the other finalist. I am currently by Gabrielle's side, Maria had her brought here on the blimp so we can have her close and keep an eye on her.

"Oh Gabrielle, what happened to you?" I whisper.

"My Pharaoh," I hear a voice say.

I turn to see a man in a white rob with the millennium key, I stand up as he bows to me.

"It's you," I say.

"Forgive me, my Pharaoh," he says. "I had to figure out if it was really you. I am Shadi."

"Please, stand Shadi," I say. "Why are you here?"

"I am here to help you Pharaoh," Shadi says, walking over to Gabrielle.

"What are you doing?" I say, getting very tense.

"Do not worry, I will not harm the Queen."

"Queen?"

"Yes, she was also known as the Amazon," Shadi explains. "She was your Queen and I am happy you two have found each other again."

I look in shock, Gabrielle was my queen? Is that why I feel a connection to her? I smile and look down at Gabrielle, I would love to have her by my side for the rest of my life.

"Will she wake up?" I ask.

"Once her mother allows her, yes."

Before I can ask what he means, I hear the announcement call all duelists. I turn back to face Shadi but he is already gone. I walk over to Gabrielle and take her hand, it's soft and still warm.

"I promise you, I will win and I will help you wake up," I tell her, kissing her hand.

(Gabrielle's POV)

"What? Why am I still here?" I ask, looking around.

Suddenly the scenery changed to a forest at night, I sigh and smile. I love the forest at night, it is so peaceful and calm.

"You haven't changed," a voice says.

"Huh? Who said that!?" I call, looking around.

"My dear little star, it seems father kept his word."

I turn to see a young woman with light brown hair in a side braid, sky blue eyes, light skin wearing ancient greek armor. She has a doe and a bear with her, why does she look so familiar?

"Who are you?" I question.

"I am Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt."

"W-what!? What do you want with me?"

"Do not fret, I am not here to harm you," Artemis says. "I could never harm my only child."

"I'm your- But you are the virgin Goddess! How am I your child?"

I have studied all of the greek gods during my time at the orphanage and I know for a fact that Artemis never had a child.

"It's true, I never had a child, but you are special. I remember the day well when I found you," Artemis smiles. "It was at this very river."

I turn to look at the river as a scene plays out, I see Artemis tending to the animals and then there is a crying.

"What is that?" Memory Artemis asks.

That is when we see a basket coming down the river, inside is a baby. The baby is very malnourished, only making small sobs. Memory Artemis lifts the baby into her arms and hold her close to her chest.
