Gaav Approaches Darko

[Beatrix Sorrowtine]

Gaav stood in the middle of a cold, dark, and dank alley, waiting for the person he had sent his message to. His abnormally long arms were folded over his chest, and his fingers tapped the black leather sleeves he was wearing. Gaav was a massive man, standing at over seven feet tall, and spiky blond hair that made him seem even taller. He was ready to make his bid for the three Legendary Demons of Duel Academy; he had all seven of the necessary shadow items, and all was needed was for him to find six comrades.

Before he set out on his world search for people with darkness in their hearts, he felt a person with a tainted heart here in his very own city, and was not his disciple. He recognized the boy as new pro duelist Darko Princeton. Since he was a former student at Duel Academy, Darko would be invaluable as one of his Seven Stars, and his never-ending search for revenge for his brother would make him easy to manipulate.

Gaav sent the message out to Darko:
I can see your heart, I know what it is you're looking for. Revenge. But I know a lot more than just that, I also know where you can find the villains who stole the precious thing from you. All I ask in return is that you help me attain an item of value to me. Meet me in the alleyways tonight; and don't worry, I'll be easy to find.

[Darko]

Darko was wearing a very long coat and a hat which put his face in shadow. The alleys were not a place he like to be associated with but the message he received was something he couldn't refuse. He saw the seven foot man in the middle. Darko had heard stories of the alleys full of demons but he knew better. The alleys were just a cards shop(If you're good enough) where else could he have gotten so many rare cards. He walked to the giant. "You must be Gaav. I figured it was you who sent me the message." Darko said knowing the horror stories told of Gaav and his deck. "Tell me how i can find who trapped my brother in the shadow realm and i'll help you obtain whatever it is you want."

Gaav unfolded his arms and walked up to Darko, "Now, now, if I told you that right away, what's to hold you to your word that you'll help me?" Without giving Darko a chance to answer, he continued, "Don't worry, your goal and my goal intersect. You see, I'm after an item of great value and there's another group after it as well. I have reason to believe that they are the same shadow duelists who stole your brother from you. If you join me, your paths will naturally cross. Do you accept my partnership?" Gaav asked, holding out his large gloved hand.

[Darko]

Darko laughs slightly. "So now you want me to just agree to something tht is probably illegal without telling me that is. Plus you kno my goal why not tell me yours and what does this partnership mean?" Darko states trying to get at least a little information out of it.

[Beatrix Sorrowtine]

Gaav withdrew his hand, "Well, if it will help your conscience." He says, "I'm not doing anything illegal, its just a little business with Duel Academy. I send seven of my best against seven of their best for a certain prize. What it is, is only for me to know. All you need to know is that by joining me, you'll easily find the ones your looking for. If you'll join me, give me your deck, I want to see how much of a help you'll be to me." Gaav held out his hand again, but for different reason than the first time he offered it to Darko.

[Darko]

Darko thought about it for a moment hand his deck to an ante-duelist. "Very well" Darko said as he pulled out his deck and handed it to Gaav. Darko watches Gaav as he looks through the deck.

[Beatrix Sorrowtine]

Gaav looks through it with a critical eye, "Rather large, even my hands can barely hold it." He said jokingly, but without the humor in his voice, "This card will qualify you as my comrade." Gaav says as he puts a card in the middle of Darko's deck, and shuffles it, "I need to find five more comrades; I'll alert you when we are ready. We will meet at my ante business, run by my disciple Valgaav. Do not use this card until we arrive at Duel Academy." He hands the deck back to Darko.

Gaav walks away and disappears in the distance shortly. The card's text reads:

Darko watches Gaav disapear. "What have i gotten myself into" he says as he starts home
