"Long ago, when the pyramids were still young…"
"Dad?"
"E-Eh?"
"How old are the pyramids?"
"Very old. Now, Egyptian Kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Yami no Games erupted into a war that threatened to destroy the world but the brave and powerful Pharaoh sealed away the magic. Sealing them away into the Millennium Items. Now five thousand years later…"
The man sitting in front of his children smiled as he lifted up a strange gold looking box. It had strange symbols carved into its workings as he presented it to them.
"I gift the challenge of the Millennium Puzzle to my dear son and daughter."
The two children looked to the box in awe, both reaching for it. The eldest of the two being handed the box as the younger one pouted. The eldest, a young boy with tri-colored hair and soft violet eyes gingerly lifted the lid up, peering inside.
"... It's broken." The youngest, a little girl with brown hair that had a few light streaks of blond in it, remarked.
Their father grinned as he leaned back in his chair. "No. It's unsolved. Not even my colleagues can solve this puzzle."
"But Dad, why is it not in a museum?" The boy questioned, looking up. "I mean, isn't it your job to find the artifacts for the museums?"
"Yeah. How come?" The girl questioned.
"Because I can tell destiny and while you may be a few years apart, I know you'll be able to handle this destiny. My son, the Brave Game King and my daughter, his partner in crime."
The children looked to one another and smiled, giving a nod.
"Right."
"Game King." The girl remarked. "There's a word for that, isn't there?"
Their father took the box as the boy closed the lid, setting it on a nightstand. The girl laid beside her brother, not wanting to leave him just yet. He didn't mind, putting an arm around her as their father tucked them in.
"Yes there is. Yugioh. King of Games. Sometimes called King Yugi."
The girl giggled, laying her head over her brother's heart. "Just like you, Big Brother."
The boy, Yugi, gave a sheepish grin. "Me? King? Nah…"
"Either way, destiny might call one day. I give you the challenge of the puzzle. Do you accept?" Their father asked as he moved to the doorway.
Yugi closed his eyes.
"... I accept."
