Destined to be Yours

Chapter 41: Truths Revealed

Ishizu placed her hand on the golden necklace around her neck. Akia recognized the eye of Anubis carved into the middle of the necklace.

"Is that...?" Akia started asking.

Ishizu nodded at Akia. "Indeed. It is also a millennium item. This is the millennium necklace. It grants me the power to see into the past and the future."

Akia couldn't help but quietly exclaim. It was an impressive power to have. She then realized that Ishizu could help her. "So there are a lot of things that you can tell me, right? I have so many questions."

"Indeed you do. However, I will only be able to answer a small portion. Everything will be unveiled at its destined time." Ishizu then motioned at one of the stone tablets.

Akia went for a closer look. Other than a bunch of hieroglyphs that she recognized from her history books, there was something that struck her immediately. "That looks like Yugi!"

There was, indeed, one of the carvings that resembled Yugi quite a bit. He looked as though he was battling with the Black Magician against another man wielding what seemed to be the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"So you noticed," Ishizu replied, "this is the nameless pharaoh; the soul within the millennium puzzle. Your brother is the modern day reincarnation of the pharaoh, which is the reason why he was chosen to complete the puzzle."

"What? That's way too far-fetched, don't you think?" Akia simply couldn't believe such a story. It was way too mind boggling for her to comprehend.

"It stands to reason that you wouldn't immediately believe me. If you can't believe my words, then I will make you see and witness the truth." Ishizu's Millennium Necklace shone with a blinding light, enveloping both Akia and herself.

When the light dissipated, Akia found herself floating above an unfamiliar scenery. She then looked at her hands, noticing that they were translucent. "What?! What's happening?! What is this?!"

"We are in a vision of the past. What you are seeing right now happened thousands of years ago," Ishizu answered.

"Huh?!" Akia then looked around her. She was in a palace, a beautiful Egyptian palace, that wasn't in ruins, unlike what she'd seen in pictures. Below her there was the throne room. "Is that Yugi on the throne?" She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Yugi was sitting on the throne. He looked different, though. He resembled more the spirit of the millennium puzzle than her twin brother.

"Yes. That is the nameless pharaoh," Ishizu confirmed.

Akia then noticed another familiar face, "Kaiba Seto?! What is he doing there?"

"In the past, Priest Seto was a faithful advisor of the pharaoh. But this is not where your story is," Ishizu informed Akia.

"My story?"

"I just merely showed you a vision to prove to you that your brother is indeed the reincarnation of the nameless pharaoh. Now, let us go back." As Ishizu said that, the light of her Millennium Necklace engulfed them once more, bringing them back to the present time.

Akia's eyes were wide open. She was still under the shock of what she had just experienced. She then looked down at her hands, realizing that they were back to normal. "I really was not prepared for this..."

Ishizu nodded.

"You mentioned the fact that the pharaoh was nameless. Why do you say that?" Akia questioned.

Ishizu looked at Akia. "The pharaoh's name has been lost. No one has any records of his name. Not even with millennium necklace do I know what it is."

Akia scratched the back of her head, trying to process all of this information that barely made any sense to her.
