__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A dark and cold evening in the small town of Domino. The sky, otherwise azure blue, was overcast and it was storming. The wind was freezing and all you saw was a little girl hurrying through the city streets. Nobody else wanted to leave the warm and cozy house in this weather. That's why the lights were already on in the walls of Domino.
A restaurant called Burger World came into view in the distance. Something bothered her, but she stepped inside. No sooner had she entered than she wished she had never done it. The girl saw a terrible sight and she caught her breath. At a table in the middle of the room was a boy. With his blond, purple, black hair, he was very easily noticed. Across from him was a man who seemed to threaten the bright-haired man. All the other guests lay on the floor with their eyes closed. The girl's gaze wandered over the people who were anxiously huddled against the floor and this only elicited a dry laugh from her. Then she looked again at the man who had a pistol in his hand and the boy who looked at her briefly. But the girl noticed that next to the armed man, who had the number seven on his forehead three times, sat a brown-haired girl. Her eyes were blindfolded. 'A hostage? 'asked the girl who was still standing in the doorway.
The boy looked at her with wide eyes and it seemed as if he wanted to signal to her: Run away! But she didn't even think about running away, which is why she pretended not to see it. The gunman jumped up and walked quickly towards her. "Lie on the floor like the others!" He growled, but she looked at him with a dirty grin. "No," he got in reply and she crossed her arms over her chest.
He paused briefly before he held the gun under her nose and gave an ice-cold command: “Little one, if you don't do what I tell you, you're dead!” Another light laugh from her side. She showed no fear at all. "If you really want to see me dead ... How about we play a little game?" Now he started to laugh: "A GAME?" "Yes," she interrupted calmly, "the loser is dying ... . "He hesitated for a moment before he asked:" The loser is dying? "" Yes ... A game of darkness ... "" Well, that sounds interesting, "he finally said after thinking for a long time. "So you accept the challenge?", She made sure. A nod on his part. "We put our lives in this game ... are you sure that you really want to?" The man laughed: "I'm in ... but I make one condition!"The girl pricked up his ears and looked at him with interest:" And which one would that be? "" You are not just playing for your own life ... no ... you are playing for the lives of everyone in this restaurant! "She raised an eyebrow and let her gaze wander around once more. He rested briefly on the bright-haired boy. He shook his head. Again she passed him over and agreed to the request:" Good "
The boy looked at her in disbelief. His name was Yugi. But he had just switched to his other self. 'What's that supposed to be? If she loses we are all dead! 'he asked himself again and again and wanted to intervene. But something stopped him.
She tilted her head slightly and said softly: "The rules of the game: I hold something behind my back. It's something very small that it fits in my right hand. And I'll give you one tip: It's an animal. If you can guess it, you can shoot, but if you lose, the animal will hurt you. If you break the rules of the game, you will be punished by fate ... But you can only guess once! "Once again she and her nodded exclaimed: "The game begins!"
Despite all the considerations, the man did not come up with the solution. 'What kind of animal could that be? It has to be dangerous, but also small ... In any case, it is not a Scorpio! This would have stung her long ago. Is it a spider? Damn I have no idea! 'He had an idea, which is why he began to grin dirty and shouted to her: "I have no idea what you have in your hand, but I still have my weapon!" Her eyes flashed dangerously and the man pressed from. But the bullet did not go off as expected. Surprised, the person opposite looked at his weapon and she began to laugh. "I warned you! Now you've broken the rules of the game ..." His eyes widened when she pulled her hand out from behind her back. A brightly shining eye of Horus appeared on her forehead. "... now the punishment of fate awaits you!" He swallowed briefly as she opened her hand. But as soon as he saw what was hidden in her hand, he began to laugh: "Are you kidding me? That's a butterfly!" The girl said nothing more, but turned around. "You underestimate the little ones, because that's not just a butterfly! This ...", she shouted and turned back to him, "... is Ammit the soul eater!" As if on cue, the petite body of the changed small animal into a large monster, which was a mixture of hippopotamus, crocodile and lion. Ammit took menacingly large steps towards the man, who began to tremble all over. The girl turned and left Burger World without looking back.
The man's tortured screams echoed in the streets of the city. Yami, Yugi's other self, jumped up and ran past the lifeless body onto the street.He looked left and right, but could no longer see anyone. However, he could have bet he saw a brief flash of blue.
