I felt numb
My feet seemed to carry me to the floor of the Great Palace stairs
The Palace loomed in a hazy mist that gave me the chills but my determination to get Yugi out of this hellhole was substantial to all other thoughts that were running around in my mind. I took my first step and paced myself to the large wooden doors ahead
Two Guards stood by but seemed to pay no attention to me their minds seemed lost as their cold eyes stayed forward. My hands touched the large doors and my nerves were in my throat. I had only one goal. I had to save yugi, I had to save my friend. I pulled hard at the doors a burst of cool stale air brushed my face as I opened the door into a Large darkroom.
The was so dark, not even a flame flickered in the distance. A slight breeze shut the door behind me that cause me to jump. It was so dark I outstretched my hands hoping to find something in the room anything to perhaps guide me out.
It was strange as I staggered through the room. Why would such an important room be so...stale. Something in the air filled my nose a strange copper smell I took another step tripping over something in the dark.
My heart stopped as I felt something wet, and cold on my hands I pressing it to my nose the copper smell was stronger.
My heart sank
I took notice of two eyes watching me from the darkness. Two eyes that brought fear to me.

I blinked hoping I could get a better look
A man sat there his eyes a piecing red Id never encountered in anyone before
I saw him stand up and seemingly walking closer to me
I tried frantically to turn back before falling again this time on something plushy and stiff
A snap could be heard echoing through the walls
One by one torches began to ignite in flames.
My eyes drew back to my hands to lift myself off the floor it was then I realized what I had been tripping over
Bodies...
My face grew pale as my eyes darted around the room
All these poor....people
Their faces petrified in fright and terror from whatever fate they had suffered from.
I turned slowly back to face that man again
Nearly slipping on the pools of blood
I could finally see his features clearly and it terrified me more then anything
Yugi? It cant be...he isnt capable of such...horrible things..
I shook my head there was no way...this was yugi but it looked just like him
this man...
This man was the...Pharaoh
I found myself staring in shock as petrified as the bodies that laid around me
A soft chuckle seemed to boom into the room
"What an unfortunate place to find yourself...." his smile was absolutely spin chilling as he stepped closer to me.
I felt my confidence fade as I realized I had made a terrible mistake marching in here.
His long fingers pulled my chin to his face I found myself paralyzed by his beaming red eyes.
"What is it I can..possibly do for you my...dolt pet?"
I stuttered my word clawing trying to claw their way out
"I've come to- to request that you let my friend go!" I managed to squeeze out
The Pharaoh responded with a roaring laughter before releasing my face.
"Is that so? You came all the way here make demands?" His voice low
I clenched my fists "Let my friend go!" I yelled again feeling my body tingle from nerves
The Pharaoh laughed again before grabbing my throat lifting me into the air
I tried to scream but found the air escaping me
"Or perhaps I kill you right where you stand..." He hissed
I clawed at his arm before spitting into his face he dropped me down to the floor wiping the spit from his cheek
"Well, arn't you interesting" He spoke menacingly his eyes lighting up
two guards rushed over to restrain me. I( began kicking and screaming to let me go. I wanted to kick this guys ass.
"Well take her to the torture room immediately sire" One of them spoke nearly breaking my arm I winced in pain
The pharaoh raise his hand
"That won't be necessary...I know how we will handle this
lets make....
A wager.....my little dolt pet"
