A woman in a black longcoat appears outside the courtyard. Taking brisk steps forward, she confronts the woman fanning herself with feathers. "I am Era, an envoy of the Dark World. My lord has given me instructions to seek down those associated with the one by the name of Aphrodite... are you acquainted with her? If not, my apologies for wasting your time, ma'am."

Hera smiles wryly. Your master has some kind of grudge against that upstart Aphrodite? I am no friend of hers, and if you wish to defeat her, I would be more than willing to help. Provided, of course, that you can prove your worth to me in a duel. I would not grant my favors to any ordinary mortal.
She unfolds the peacock fan, which transforms into an iridescent Duel Disk.

I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, who prepares the sacred rite by giving me Eviritua Mind Ogress into my hand. I then cast the spell Moray of Greed, sending Evirituas Mind Ogress and Soul Ogre back into the deck to draw three more cards.

Since one of them was the Ritual Monster Eviritua Soul Ogre, I can add it to my hand. Now, Ritua Chain and Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands attack directly! That ends my turn.

Not at all. Though I have lost this battle, the duel is far from over. I still Set a monster and end my turn.

"Some would think that it would be a precursor of things to come. Regardless."

(1d33)[21]

"I shall activate my Future Fusion spell, sending an Ancient Gear Golem, an Ancient Gear Soldier and an Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon to the grave to bring forth the Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem in two turns. But why wait for power when you can have it today? I shall tribute my Ancient Gear Knight to bring forth the Ancient Gear Golem; with Geartown in play, I shall only require the one tribute. And to increase his power further, I shall ask him to show some Solidarity with his comrades in the grave. Now, my mighty Ancient Gear Golem shall attack and destroy your face-down monster; and do not forget, that you take damage equal to his attack minus the defence of your monster. Now, I'll close my turn, unless you and your face-down have something to say about it...? Your turn, regardless, ma'am."

[Blue Ghost]

((Ugh...))

(d29)[6]

I summon Ritua Abyss, who brings Shadow Ritua to my hand. Now, let the rites begin with Ceremonial Water Mirror of Ritua! I offer Shadow Ritua to bring forth the masculine, the Eviritua Soul Ogre! With Eviritua Soul Ogre's effect, I invoke the power of the feminine as well, sending Eviritua Mind Ogress to the Graveyard to clear your Ancient Gear Golem from the field. Then, I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my fallen Ritua Chain! Soul Ogre attacks directly, and Abyss and Chain follow to finish the duel. Apologies, hero, but you are not worthy.

[Allan Surgite]

"...aha. Most well done, ma'am; I can see why my superior has such interest in whatever collective group you and Aphrodite belong to. My congratulations on your victory and the best of luck for the next challenger." Era smiled, before waving a hand; blue lightning danced behind her, as a black ellipse appeared in the air. Stepping into it and being consumed by it, Era smiled slightly as she - and indeed, her portal - vanished in to the ether.

[Shadow_Elf]

A shadow in a corner begins to elongate. Plants begin to grow out of the shadow. Vines, mostly, creeping up the walls of the temple, surrounding structures within it. A small stone archway appears. A shadow elongates out of it, until it forms a man. His face remains invisible, and he giggles like a little girl, though his voice is anything but high pitched. Good evening, Hera, Wife of Zeus, Queen of Olympus. I am The Gardener, of the Exarchs of the Forbidden One. I am here for that promised wish, you see. My garden is not the only thing you need worry about in this duel - I have also mastered the Warren of Dragons, and the dragon knight answers my beck and call. Shall we dance?

Hera is amused. "Shall we dance?" You have an interesting way of introducing yourself to the goddess of marriage, Gardener. Very well, let us duel.

The first move belongs to me! he says, then giggles. His dueldisk assembles itself on his arm out of plants.

He giggles. I'll set a monster, and a card to go behind it. Your move, dear!

You must be glad that I have had millennia to exercise my patience. I cannot see how mortals can stand that giggle of yours.

[Blue Ghost]

I begin with Moray of Greed, returning Ritua Marker and Eviritua Soul Ogre to my deck to draw three more cards.

He giggles. Since most of my colleagues are half-mortal, and thereby have at least half as much patience as you, it only seems to unnerve my foes... he muses.

(1d34)[2]

Now the fun begins! I shall summon the Twilight Rose Knight, whose effect summons Botannical Lion to serve alongside him. Any response thus far, my dear? he asks, then giggles.

[Blue Ghost]

No response, Gardener. Please proceed with your move.

[Shadow_Elf]

I flip summon Sangan, who I then tune with Twilight Rose Knight. High House Chains, unleash your dragon! Magic of the First Warren, bring me Iron Chain Dragon! This lets me search out a monster from my deck, because of Sangan's effect. Botannical Lion shall use its 1900 attack to destroy your facedown monster, and then Iron Chain Dragon will attack directly, inflicting 2500 points of damage and causing you to mill the top three cards of your deck. Provided you've no response, that will end my turn. The lion shreds Hera's facedown monster, and then the dragon's chains lash out, striking her and shoveling cards from her deck into the graveyard all at the same time.

((Will update my field in my previous post))
