Prologue
In the ancient world, in the time of peace, there arose a darkness that threatened to cut off the light of all eternity. This darkness was known as Duel Monsters; legendary creatures whose powers were used as weapons of destruction and terror by those with evil intent.
During this time, six souls were chosen from mighty Egypt to be sacrificed in a ritual that would lock away the darkness forever, but two more were required. The High Priest Seth of Egypt enlisted two ambassadors from foreign lands to complete the ritual. A woman from a very distant island and a man from the arid desert lands. The six from Egypt consisted of a judge, an artist, a tomb robber, a murderer and his sister and the Pharaoh, himself.
Together, they made the ultimate sacrifice and their souls were locked away into eight Millennium Items. The judge into the ankh, the artist into the eye, the tomb robber into the ring, the murderer into the rod and his sister into the necklace, the Pharaoh into the puzzle, the island ambassador into the scales and the ambassador from the desert lands into the sword.
Their sacrifice enabled the High Priest to seal away the Duel Monsters for what should have been eternity. During the new millennium, the nine involved in the sacrifice were reincarnated and the artist, driven mad by grief, unsealed the Duel Monsters and the darkness began to cover the land once more. But all was not lost, for with the breaking of the seal came a prophecy.
"When the nine reawaken,
and darkness once more rules the land,
a warrior will arise,
to defend the light and vanquish the darkness.
There will also arise one to aid the hero,
for alone the warrior cannot face the darkness.
Six of the nine shall stand by them,
but three shall fall into darkness and be destroyed."
