My name is Sylene Truesdale. Yes, I said it right, I am a relative of Syrus and Zane Truesdale. I consider myself lucky for being related to them, but sadly that is all the luck I ever have in life. Technically speaking Syrus would be my great-great-great grandfather. And as such, his deck and cards have been passed down through each generation. Though, my father never really used them. My brother was against it too, so I took them instead. I did not know why they were neglected, I loved all of the cute monsters. However, I soon learned why.
Let me start from the beginning, I was born in Neo Domino City. I was born after the whole Satellite incident. In school, I loved my cards and often took them everywhere I went. I attended Duel Academy and loved battling. However, things weren't always right. My deck, as others and I sometimes say, is obsolete. Fusion monsters do not play a big role in Duel Monsters anymore, and Synchro Monsters were more famous. My deck was always beaten, taunted, and I myself was forced into the taunting. Some of the friends I had and even my brother gave me a new deck to use, but I did not want to change my deck completely. If my distant grandfather could use his deck and win, then I could too. Problem is, I've been having a hard time using it.
One day, I was invited by Akiza to show me her friend's garage. Akiza became one of my first friends, seeing how she knew exactly how I felt being picked on. I wore my blue uniform nicely, since I had no idea how to dress around those guys. "Are you sure Akiza?" I asked her as we walked. "I mean, I thank you for inviting me but, I don't think I should come." I brushed my gray hair nervously, and adjusted my glasses.
"Sylene..." Akiza spoke calmly, "Its alright. My friends will not judge you from your deck. You're good, you just need to see it for yourself."
I smiled, knowing that Akiza really was trying to help me. Luckily the garage was not much farther now.
