5,000 years ago
A city on the sea years ahead of their time was crying with fear at a tsunami the gods had sent to them for one of their people had stolen from the gods. People were running out into the center of the city. There had been reports of people, vanishing. Dark pools of swirling darkness opening beneath them to swallow them whole. A young, beautiful figure watched the sky darken. Beside him was a young man that had been escorting and guarding him during a shopping trip before this happened. "Mother we need to get to safety now." The male spoke to the Queen. Searchlights went to the city the god stone shining like a red sun warning the citizens that their end was near. Yamiko turned his veiled face as he heard a call. His husband. His king. Riding his stallion sword in hand fighting off dark creatures springing from the darkness. He found his wife and leaped from the horse, just as darkness surrounded him. The Pharaoh grabbed his wife in a desperate attempt to pull him free. Yamiko looked up. "Atemu..."
"I'm getting you out of here!" his husband promised. His beautiful husband. And also his father. "Papa..." he whispered. "Don't!" Atemu cried tears running down his face knowing...no! "Papa," Yamiko repeated touching his face. "I'll see you again. I've just seen it." He removed his gem. The stone keeping their people alive and young as long as they wore them. "I'll see you. And there will be another." a beam of light shoot through Yamiko's chest the red stone turning a bright purple as it collapsed then expanded lifting the young Queen from the ground shinning pure light into the city below. The tanned hand that held his wrist slipping along with a silver bracelet etched with a moon left in Atem's hand another horse came barreling through a young child running toward the light.
"Mama! Papa what's happening to Mama?" the child cried out Yamiko's eyes were white and hollow chanting under his breath it soon becoming louder the closer he got to the stone. "/the Gods have granted those in this shield a second chance of life, but as punishment, the knowledge of things you have created will be lost until a new light crystal returns to your world down below the stone and water/." Yamiko closed his eyes as he was taken inside of the god stone now a brilliant blue. "Yugi cover your eyes now!" wrapping his cape around them both Atem shielded Yugi and himself from the light while the guardian statues came to life making a shield out of the Queen's life force now turned into pure energy and power.
"Mama!" Yugi cried as Atem stood up still holding his son in his blue cape. Everything was silent now. His people were looking around in confusion. Atem carried his son to his horse and mounted. "Seth," he called. His priest came at once. Atem watched his crying son and put the bracelet on his wrist determination in his eyes. He kissed his child and used a spell to make him sleep. "Seth...sink the city," Atem commanded. "This world..." he looked around and sneered at the ocean. Beyond were other countries, cities, people. "This world is evil. My son will never know it."
"Yes my lord." but before the order could be given the large waves of the tsunami swallowed the shielded city whole pulling them down far below the ocean and earth never to be seen again until now.
