Yugioh Zexal: Sakura story

Go with the Flow: Part 1

On a narrow, crooked, fragile stone walkway surrounded by a dark void, lit only by floating luminescent bubbles,a young boy, no more than the age of 13, balances uneasily, both his arms extended for balance, placing one foot carefully in front of the other.

Fragments of rock crack away under his feet as it fall into the endless glowing abyss below him; above, the sky roils dark purple.

He sways unsteadily as he walks, nervous and afraid to fall down below, as he finally halts to stare at the bright glow before him. It came from a pair of stone reptilian eyes, it was apart of a massive stone face carved to belong to a fearsome monster, with rows and rows of pointed teeth, its face crossed by long cold metal chains. At the center of its upper lip was a circular keyhole. 

The monstrous gate seems to glare down at him, until a deep, raspy voice comes from it, echoing in brighter tone. "Whoever can open this door, will gain a great new power..." it spoke as the boy reluctantly takes a step back away from it as unknown voices echoed, whispering. "...Power, open this door..."

"But know, that with such a reward, comes great risk" the deep voice that belong to the door, said as more of the echo whispers follow suit.The glowing yellow eyes glint bright red, as the gold pendant that the boy wears around his neck shines in response to the door

"Have you the courage to unlock this power" the door repeated as the echo whispers once more. "Um, great risk? Lemme think about it. Don't think so-o-o-ohh!!" The boy answer not before the walkway beneath his back foot began to crumbles, as he falls into the glowing blue abyss below, yelling his final word before everything around him become pitch black 

"Aaaaaaahhhhh...!!"

The red and black haired 13 year old fell out of his bed. His name was Yuma Tsukumo.He hits the floor on his head, after fallen out of his hammock that he used as a bed. The morning light is a filtering gold colour as it shone through the window.

It was only just a dream, he thought to himself. His room is like a cluttered treasure trove of mystery and antiquity; inside the room, was an old yellow globe and gold lamp sit over to one side of the hammock, a giant wooden chest inlaid with gleaming brass sits off to the other side. Yuma's duel cards are scattered on a low table under the hammock, beside a picture frame. He untangles one of his foot from the hammock as he sits up on the wooden floor, rubbing his head after the fall

"Ugh... weird dream... ugh, oh well. 'Least I'm up now" He groan as he look at the clock that was on the wall. It reads 8:00. Quickly Yuma spring up onto his feet. "And I'm going to be late!" As he realised that he was going to be late for school yet again 

Once again, Yuma hastily gathers up his scattered deck off the floor; visible are Blustering Winds, Secret Barrel, Zubaba Knight, Monster Reborn, Gagaga Magician, Ganbara Knight, Wonder Wand, Just Desserts, and Tornado. "Aww, not again! What am I forgetting, what am I forgetting!" He moan 

Yuma swings down from his loft through a circular hole in the floor, dangling wildly from a knotted rope handhold instead of taking the neat decorative modern ladder. His main bedroom, bed neatly made and desk tidy, clearly not lived in, is as curvy and futuristic polymers as the loft is antique and polished wood. Yuma's jeans, socks, and bookbag are laid out on the bed, his shirt hung up near the desk. He catches himself on the floor with one hand when he lands and scrambles across the pastel-swirled rug.

" Oh yeah-- to get dressed!"
