"heyyy mister spooky ghost ask."
@foxfirebluelace//I got just the thing!
Theyād done it! Finally, after almost Six months of frustration, Marco, Blue, and Marku all three sat taking turns at putting the pieces into the slots.
Jean wasnāt among them. Instead, he was passed out on Markuās bed with a poisoned arrow through the chest. It was why the situation was so dire. Marku could heal wounds, but the poison had spread to far by the time Marco had gotten him home to safety. Not even his potions had much effect, though it had slowed the process down.
They needed the Mystic Elfās help, and the only way to summon her, was with the Millennium puzzle completed.
The demon turned the last piece over in his hand, the Eye of Wajat and itās jagged edges staring back at him.
He was about to gain the power so strong, that the Egyptians feared it enough to lock it away for centuries. It should excite him, to be the inheritor of such a thing. But instead, He felt no glee in the idea.
Power wasnāt his goal anymore. His family was. Marco, Jean, Fox. They were his life now. The power meant nothing, except to be a means to protect them.
Taking the puzzle carefully into his hands, he puts the piece into the slot, immediately causing the item to glow.
When the light died down, another soul was with them, standing with a proud grin as he stepped closer.
āHeyyy Mister Spooky Ghost!ā
At Foxās words, Atem laughs, turning his crimson gaze to her, and cupping her cheek. āLong time no see⦠Iām glad you all finally solved it⦠Though Iām sorry for your friend.ā The Pharaoh gave an apologetic glance to Jeanās form.
Placing a gentle kiss to Blueās lips, He sighed contently. He knew he couldnāt stay, as he was only here to give Marku his powers, but it still was wonderful to see her again.
Stepping away reluctantly, he turned back to said demon and his light, patting Marku on the shoulder. He nearly dropped the puzzle out of nerves, but Marco took it from his hands with a giggle before he could.
āCareful with that, Shadow. Wouldnāt want to break it, yeah?ā Atem smirked, playfully poking Markuās nose. ā⦠I canāt say how much Iāve missed you My Friend, though you remember very little of meā¦Youāve both come so far⦠I promise Both You and Marco will remember everything, once I give you what is yours..ā
With that, he held up two orbs. One was glowing Gold, which he pressed into Markuās chest, and the other was White, which he did the same for Marco, before stepping back to stand beside Fox.
Both Men fell to their knees and closed their eyes with hands over where the entry had occurred. They werenāt in pain, but were overwhelmed by the powers they were taking in.
āIt will take a moment for them to absorb all of Mine and Yugiās memories, along with their respective Shadow Magic.ā He informs her. āBut theyāll be alright. I promise. And so will Jean. My deck, and the Pokemon, I leave them to the two of them. Marku is Mine and Shadowās incarnation⦠Heāll know what to do, but will need help with caring for them⦠Iām sure youāll help though, right?ā He smiles, tears in his eyes as he brushes some of her hair back behind her ear.
āIāve missed you so much Blue⦠Iām sorry I canāt be here directly but.. This way⦠I know youāll be loved and protected.. I hope you understandā¦ā
