Prologue

"Mistress! Mistress!" A small demon shouted as he ran into a large stone room. Torches were lit around a large altar that was made of sandstone. The symbols of the Millennium items were craved into statues that had offerings around them. There were large stone Egyptian gods guarding the altar as well, fire surrounding each one.

  The small creature rushed up a tall flight of stairs that lead to a large gold throne. There, sat a woman of elegant stature. Her long black hair trailed to the floor and her midnight blue eyes shimmered. She wore a gown of black silk with a gold necklace bearing the Millennium Eye on it.

"Mistress! I have news!" The sad little creature shouted as it fell to his knees before the woman. "We found the master of games!"

Glancing down at the trembling animal at her feet, the woman stood. "Excellent work. It's about. We only have two more weeks until the planetary alignment and I need the last piece of the puzzle. Enough with the idle chit chat, show him to me."

Scrambling to his feet, the demon hurried to one of the many torches. Removing a handful of black sand from a pouch on it belt, the creature blew it onto the fire. Within moments, a picture began to appear.

A young teenager slept soundly in his bed. He seemed ordinary enough, minus the fact that he had purple and blond hair. And there, next to him on his end table, sat the Millennium Puzzle.

"You mean to tell me that this…child…is the master of the Puzzle?" The woman roared as she studied the picture.

"Y…Yes my lady." The demon stuttered nervously. "His name is Yugi and he knows the ways of the game."

"Is that so?" The lady asked. Stepping forward so that she stood directly in front of the picture, she ran a finger around the image. Suddenly, she became alarmed. "No. It can't be. Could it be? That woman and man's son from so long ago? The people who stole the last piece of the puzzle from me?" Examining the image closer, her evil grin widened. "Indeed. It is. That baby grew into the master of games?" Tapping the picture lightly, the woman laughed. "Well then Yugi. You will soon learn the fate that awaits you. And that the past will always come back to haunt you."
