7. Nakado's memories
In the days that followed, Nakado acted strangely. Her look seemed sad, but when she was asked by her friends what was wrong with her, she pretended everything was okay. But Tea could sense that something was wrong with her. Then Nakado had no choice and suggested they meet in Domino Park on the weekend.
Nakado was sitting on a bench in Domino Park, waiting for tea. Her look was worried. She's been like this since she dueled Kirai.
- Hello! - said Tea- You wanted me to come here. What's the matter?
- Tea .. I wanted to apologize. You know, when we went shopping, we didn't say goodbye very nicely. At that time I hadn't thought anything good of you. Excuse me, please. I made sure that you are not like that.
Tea didn't understand what she was apologizing for - for bad thoughts about her? , but kept listening attentively.
- That's fine! - said Tea - I know that something else is bothering you.Come on, spit it out.
- I don't even know how to start - suddenly Nakado took Tea's hands - Promise me, please, that you won't tell anyone! Maybe you'll think I'm crazy - Nakado was silent for a few seconds, as if she were looking for the beginning of her long story.
- When I came here, I had the same dream almost every night. It was night and it was raining. I stood alone on the street and was infinitely sad - it was sadness and also pain. I could feel them clearly, but I couldn't find any reason for such feelings. And it seemed like the rain reflected my feelings.
When I dueled Kirai and called The Sunprincess Amaterasu, strange images flashed through my head. At first I didn't understand_ but it was my memories. And what I saw surprised me, no, even frightened me. - Nakado paused again. - You will think I'm crazy ...- no! - Tea interrupted - Believe me, I won't do that. Keep telling me.
- I remembered when I died.
- What?! - Tea whispered
- Yes exactly. I was seriously ill and was in the hospital. My older sister Toschiko often came to see me. She wanted to cheer me up, but my body just didn't have enough strength. And then ... a good spirit revived me. It was a powerful being of light, the sun goddess. She gave me her powers, for that I had to defeat a Flichtan who is after her powers.
There were other female warriors who possessed magical powers and who were the reincarnations of other elemental goddesses, but they too did not succeed in defeating the evil force. I should do this, but the enemy has taken possession of me again and has taken control of my powers. He could kill them all with it if the moon princess hadn't helped me. She sacrificed her last strength to subdue my strength and thus the demon.- Nakado seemed even sadder than she was before.
-I really can't imagine anything like that. The evil forces are also after you, huh?
-What does "also" mean? - Nakado didn't understand
You mustn't tell anyone what I'm telling you either - Tea whispered and went on - You've definitely seen Yugi's followers? This is the millennium puzzle. His grandfather brought this one to him from Egypt when he was an archeologist. In 5 years, Yugi put this puzzle together, which no one has managed before, and freed the 5000-year-old spirit of the great Pharaoh Atemu, still called the King of the Games. Since then, Yugi and Yami have been able to trade with each other when they duel. And since then, we've met many villains who have mastered the game of shadows. Only those who own millennium items can play this game. All of these millennium items have a special Egyptian symbol, the eye.
- Well, Kirai had such a ring too.- said Nakado
- Yes, he played a game of darkness.
But in a strange way we could see you from the outside when you drew this circle of light. What does that mean?
Nakado continued:
- Probably fate wanted to test me. Or punish and that same night I showed up in your town. It was raining and I was so sad because I didn't know what was happening to the other warriors.
- But soon I didn't remember this fight. It became a dream for me that faded more and more until I didn't even remember it.
This circle. When Kirai destroyed my monsters, I felt weakened. I didn't understand myself what I was doing. But the circle in which I stood was nothing more than a soul-conjuring circle. The Sunprincess Amaterasu card could not be accessed. I conjured up my soul in the field.
- Oh! - Tea admired - And ... what if your soul ended up in the cemetery?- Tea asked carefully.
Nakado bowed his head
- Well then I would be dead. Because it was a game of darkness. - but after a pause she said - but I knew that the strength that was given to me could win. I also realized that Kiraider was a demon targeting my powers. Flichtan, it was called. And I actually won.
- Yes, Tea nodded - You even lightened the dark mist of the game of shadows.
- I remembered everything. Or at least most of it. But I believe that fate has given me a task that I have to feel whether I can continue to use my strength. And one more thing - Nakado rolled up her long sleeves and Tea saw two equally wide bracelets.
- Oh! But they look nice! - said Tea, watching these beautiful parts
- These bracelets control my strength. They became visible after the duel with Kirai.
- Girlfriend, - Tea's voice sounded familiar and gentle - I think we can tell your story to the boys.- No, Tea! Please, you promised!
- Do not worry. We have already seen a lot together. We had to believe in such crazy things. You will understand, believe me.
- Well, if you think so - smiled Nakado - thank you for listening to me. Suddenly it became much easier for me.
- And now - let's have some ice cream!
The two smiled at each other.
