Chapter One – Introduction to his heart

Hey everyone, this is the introduction chapter basically about how Marik will be in my story, it explains a bit. For those of you who don't know, there is no such thing as a Shadow Realm; it was just created by the English FUNimation to cover up deaths in the series. There is a place where people can be sent down to, more like a ghost like world, but to minimize confusion I will call this place the Shadow Realm.

Enjoy and please R&R, and remember, there is a reason this story is marked as 'M'.

What was suffering to a single person when the entire world felt it and yet every person he inflicted with pain acted like they were the only one to ever receive it? How timid and boring were people that they only saw their own suffering? However, that was why he inflicted it, every time it would be different, every time they would scream and beg once the confusion had passed.

Confusion at his techniques of pain, torture and suffering, after all, how could he use monsters that were only pictures on a popular card game to make them beg for mercy? Summon them from their world of course, but naturally no one would think that possible so he would sometimes just jab them to death with the hidden short sword sheathed within his Millennium Rod.

So why would he leave a bloodied mess instead of watching the creatures he summoned quickly pounce the people and devour them in seconds? The answer would be rather simple if you took in contrast the type of personality he often displayed willingly and unwillingly.

When he summoned the creatures the people would often assume it was a hologram or some other form of 'trickery' as they weren't taught of the ancient monsters known as 'Ka', the actual monsters that Pegasus had taken his ideas from and created the game to keep their memories alive and unknowingly created a way for people like him to bring them to a world with a vivid imagine. However, because of the card game and the hologram discs that were created in honor of these great beasts people were 'brainwashed' by society and general lack of intelligence to assume they were nothing but holograms.

Thus when they were faced with a monster they knew was somewhere on a card their mind told them to either laugh at the 'card game geek' pretending to be a lunatic or stare in confusion. That said, they would usually stare in confusion or laugh until the monster had gripped them by the arms or started chewing already before their mind linked the difference between a hologram and an actual beast chomping down on their limbs and then the screaming would start.

However, it was rarely satisfying enough for him as the monsters had an appetite that not even he could deter and the entire point of the exercise would be down their throat before he even had chance to enjoy it.

So why did he use the messy and bloody choice of his scepter? The answer was easy if you take the above in regard. People gave a much more lively reaction when you pulled a dagger on them and usually it involved a lot of scurrying, begging, crying and screaming; all dependent on the person who was unlucky enough to find him somewhere alone.

What else did he have to live for? Life was no fun without some malice, destruction, death and danger in it and there were so many toys out there for him use in his twisted satisfaction and there was no reason to stop, so why would he?
