A great civilization of power existed over 5,000 years ago; when powerful

pharaohs ruled over the land. Great monuments of these pharaohs and sometimes priests

were built by slaves all over the country. And at this time, many treasures were made to subject

the ruler to his powers.

As the current pharaoh was subject to the Millennium Rod, his

son, Prince Yami, had to be chosen by one of the six remaining items. But against his

Father's wishes, Yami tried to put together the Millennium Puzzle, not knowing if he

failed, his mind would be banished to the Shadow Realm forever.

Being the clever boy as he was, Yami finished the puzzle before the sun set that

day. When he showed his father what he had done, the pharaoh knew that Yami was indeed

going to be a powerful king one day.

So he immediatly started teaching him the ways

of ruling. In about a year, Yami knew how to tell which slaves were good for what;

like serving, washing, etc. He also knew how to tell if a person was a sorcerer or not.

That basically meant these people look different from everyone else.

Then finally came the day that everyone has been waiting for, the young prince's

birthday. It was a beautiful day with not one cloud in the sky. The tri-colored boy

was to turn 10 years old and finally be able to judge slaves without his father's help.

The party for him started when night fell.

Yami received many gifts like a new cape, more jewelry, and even new sandals.

But his favorite was the fact that he could keep the Millennium Puzzle. The big moment came at the

end of the night, right before the party was over. The moment when Yami proved he could tell

slaves apart. But that's not exactly what happened.

It started when three young people were tugged in the front of Yami. In less

than a minute, he had chosen where the slaves would go. But a pair of guards rushed in

immediately afterwards with children that were Yami's age.
