Prologue

Disclaimers: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I am merely writing for my own and yours, amusement.

Around 5000 years ago, Egypt was shrouded in darkness. Egypt was being ruled by a tyrant. The pharaoh was the worst out of all the pharaohs to ever rule. The pharaoh was greedy and power hungry, destroying those who oppose him in the most tortuous of ways. Even though this pharaoh was powerful and nobody would dare oppose him for fear of death, the pharaoh's priests and priestesses told the pharaoh of a prophecy, that they believe, though they didn't tell the pharaoh, was about to be fulfilled.

The prophecy foretold when Egypt was on the brink of chaos and swallowed up in darkness from the power of the pharaoh, a child would be born with gifts bestowed upon him by the three Egyptian Gods: Winged Dragon of Ra, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and Obelisk the Tormentor. This child would be the light that shines on Egypt to save Egypt from being destroyed by the power of the pharaoh by sealing the pharaoh for eternity in the confines of the source of his evil, The Shadow Realm. The child's light would not only seal him inside The Shadow Realm, but seal The Shadow Realm itself, but at a price. The child would have to sacrifice them self for the people of Egypt and for Egypt herself.

The pharaoh became fearful of this prophecy and demanded to know when this prophecy would be fulfilled and who the child would be. The pharaoh's priests and priestesses had no answers for him. The prophecy never stated if the child would be a boy or a girl or when exactly, the child would be born. After a couple of days trying to figure out everything about this prophecy as possible, the pharaoh had an idea. The pharaoh passed a law all throughout Egypt, saying that every child, from newborn to 15 summers old would have to be brought to the pharaoh. The people became terrified for their children. When none of the people came to the palace to bring their children, the pharaoh became enraged and ordered his men to every village in Egypt to have the families with children to be brought to him by force, if they decided not to come willingly.

When the first wave of families arrived, the pharaoh ordered his priests and priestesses to examine every child for any trace of unknown magic residing within them. For one and a half summers, families were brought in with their children and no traces of the prophesied child were found. But after one and a half summers of waiting, the pharaoh heard news from some of his spies from a village to the south of the palace. A women just gave birth to a baby boy, who the whole village, along with the spies, believed was filled with nothing, but light. Hearing this, the pharaoh immediately ordered the spies to be accompanied by quite a few of his men, to bring the family here. At first, the spies were hesitant, one saying that the village was protected by unseen forces that stalked the desert.

When the pharaoh ordered the spy to clarify, the spy told him what happened on the day the boy was born. The spy told the pharaoh that they felt they were being watched on the outskirts of the village, when nobody was around. When they got into the village and settled down, they learned of the impregnated women who just went into labor. For what most of the villagers said, the boy would be the first born in the village for it has been about twenty summers before any child was born here and the whole village was excited about the birth of the child, saying the child was a gift from the Gods. The woman was in labor throughout the whole day and when night came, the spies were caught with a surprise.

The villagers were crowded around the woman's house, wanting to see the birth of the child, when a few villagers, who were waiting on the outskirts of the village, for reasons the spies did not know, came back yelling cheerfully, that they were coming. Not long after the villagers said that, there was a chorus of roars from the outskirts and after the roars subsided, the labored woman screamed in response. After her scream has subsided, nobody moved, spoke or dared to breath loudly, waiting with baited breath for the owners of the roars. Minutes ticked by like hours, when finally sound came, the sound of paws running on the sand, heading in the direction of the labored woman. The sounds got louder until finally...

Here, the spy paused. The spy looked up at the pharaoh and the pharaoh was taken aback by the sheer awe and slight fear in his eyes. Now the pharaoh was intrigued and gestured for man to continue. The spy licked his dry lips and took a shaky breath.

When the sounds of paws hitting the sand became louder, they saw in the distance, what looked like a whole pack of large dogs! When they got closer the dogs slowed to a halt. Looking at them, the spies realized, they weren't dogs, they were resembled the magical Egyptian panthers. Here, the pharaoh immediately stood up. The pharaoh, along with his priests and priestesses, couldn't believe their ears. Egyptian panthers were nothing, but a myth! Yet the spy, along with the others, swore what they saw. The pharaoh sat back down, only on the edge of his throne, demanding in an excited voice, for them to continue.

The panthers were as large as the myth claimed them to be. They were half the height of a horse, their heads, when held straight, would reach a head above the middle of the horses leg, their tails as long as an average man's leg! Their fur the color of sand, their eyes gold, all except one, which was a lot smaller then the others, a cub, with eyes the color of the moon when her rays shown on the earth. There were, the spy counted, 15 panthers, including the only cub of the pack.

One panther, the leader, walked up to the house and none of the villagers seemed afraid, but honored and joyful instead! One of the villagers opened the door and the panther looked inside, then looked at the man who opened the door and started to glow in a brilliant gold light. In the place of the panther, stood a man, with sand colored hair and gold eyes! The panther/man smiled at the man and started speaking!

"How long as she been in labor?" The panther/man asks and the one who opened the door smiled and told him. The panther/man nods and looks back at his pack. All, but one panther starts glowing a golden light, just like the leader, and in there places stood men and women! The cub of the pack didn't turn human, but stayed the way she was and they all went inside the house of the woman in labor!

The panthers/humans bustled around the house, getting things to help the birth of the child. The cub sat next to the woman, who was laying on the ground and started purring while licking her stomach. The purring of the cub soothed the woman and the cubs body started emitting a low silver glow, the same color as her eyes and soothed the woman even more. Everybody outside the house was jumping in excitement. The child would be here soon. After a couple more hours of waiting in silence, except for the womans screams and shrieks of pain and the purring of the cub, they heard the wail of a baby! The whole village cheered for the birth and immediately after the baby boy was put in the mothers arms, the panthers/humans ran outside and went back to being panthers! The panthers then started roaring to the sky and the Gods, to honor the birth of the boy!

After a couple of hours of celebrating, the whole village took turns looking at the child and praising the couple. The boy was purely beautiful! The boy had amazing colored eyes that surely only the Gods could give him. The color was a unique shade of purple that glowed brightly and held nothing, but innocence and light! After the whole village saw the boy, the panthers came in and purred at the boy, making him smile and make one of those cooing noises only a baby does. The cub gently put its paws on the womans arm and stared at the child, the child staring back. The suddenly purrs and licks the child's forehead!

The spy then tells the pharaoh that the panthers can talk the human tongue without transforming into a human! The panthers congratulated on the birth of the boy and the parents of the boy congratulated the pack for getting a cub, which turns out to be the cub of the leader! The panthers tell the parents that the boy must surely have a gift from the Gods, seeing how the cub reacted to the first human she's been in actual contact with. The panthers go on to say that the cub was also a gift from the human Gods, possessing powers that none of them had. The spy then says that was almost 2 weeks ago and go silent, wondering what the pharaoh's next orders were.

The pharaoh sits back and laughs. A laugh the sent shivers down everybody's spine. One of the priests and priestesses glance at each other with fear, fearing what the pharaoh would order and they're fears were confirmed. The pharaoh ordered the spies to go back to the village in a week to lead a portion of his army there to take, not only the boy, but the Egyptian Panthers as well. The pharaoh suspected that if the village was in danger, the panthers would go to protect the villagers. The priests and priestesses start to regret telling the pharaoh about the prophecy and think of a way to warn the village about what is to happen, without getting caught. They think for 3 days before they find a way to warn them. They had to bribe a tomb robber, who was in the dungeons to do what they ask. After writing the letter and giving it to the tomb robber, they urge him to make haste, hoping the tomb robber would keep his word.

When the spies, along with half of the pharaoh's army leaves, the priests and priestesses immediately go to their sanctuaries and pray to the Gods that the village has been warned and that nothing happens to the boy. A month passes and no news is heard about the army that went to the village south of the palace and the pharaoh is furious with waiting. The pharaoh orders a few of his priests and priestesses to go out to the village with a few of his men to find out what the problem was. They did as ordered. Six priests and six priestesses left with ten soldiers, who were loyal to them and not the pharaoh. It took them a week and two days on horseback to get to the village.

The village was utterly destroyed. Bodies of the villagers, soldiers, the spies, and Egyptian Panthers lay dead in the sand. Everybody immediately checked to find the boy and see if he was a live. There was no trace of the boy being there, but they did find a note from the tomb robber saying that he'll be back for his pay and that the boy was with him. Thanking the Gods the boy was still alive, they headed back to the palace to tell the pharaoh the village was destroyed and the boy was nowhere to be found.

It's been 16 summers later and the pharaoh was convinced that the boy was dead. Throughout the 16 summers, the pharaoh basically made all the people in Egypt poor, stealing their money in the form of taxes. Ten summers ago, the pharaoh started killing innocent people just for his amusement. Some of the people fought back and payed dearly for it. They were captured, tortured, and killed in front of the whole village as examples. The priests and priestesses prayed everyday for the boy to come save them from the pharaoh and after 16 summers, their prayers were answered.

Slightly round crimson eyes blinked up at his grandfather, wondering why he stopped. The owner of the crimson eyes, was a boy no older then five, with wild black hair that defied gravity tipped with crimson, blond bangs that lightly frames his face and three strands running through his wild hair in the shape of lightning.

"Grandpa? Why did you stop? What happened to the pharaoh? Did the boy defeat him?" asked the five-year-old. His grandfather, who also had wild hair, but gray, looked at the boy with smiling violet eyes and a smile on his face.

"Well, Yami. The reason why I stopped, was because that's where the story ends!" said the boy's grandfather and Yami's eyes go wide.

"That can't be the end of the story grandpa! The boy that was said to save Egypt came back! You just said so! How does it end grandpa? Did the boy save Egypt?" asked Yami. Yami's grandfather, Solomon, smiled and shrugged. Yami's eyes narrow and Solomon holds up his hands in defense.

"The reason why that's the end is because nobody knows what happened after the boy came back to face the pharaoh. That's all that we uncovered so far in the dig! I will tell you this though, the boy most likely did defeat the pharaoh, or else Egypt wouldn't be the way it is now!" Solomon chuckled out. Yami smiled.

"You're right grandpa, but how did the boy defeat the pharaoh? What powers did he have? Oh! Did he have the power to become invisible?! Did he? Did he?!" asked Yami, getting up and jumping on his bed, Solomon laughed and made Yami sit back down.

"We don't know what type of powers the boy had! We don't even know what he was called! If you're wondering, we have yet to find any evidence of the Egyptian Panthers being real, just the myth! Hopefully soon, we'll be able to find more about this young man who saved Egypt and find where he's buried! I'd like to see his tomb!"

"You really think you'll find anything else?" Solomon shrugs.

"Well, if you do, tell me! I want to know everything about what you find that has to do with the boy! I want to know how he defeated the pharaoh and saved Egypt!" Yami says with a grin.

"Alright Yami. I'll tell you, but right now. It's time for bed!" Yami groans while Solomon laughs. Yami was never the type of boy to go to bed when he was told to. When Yami refused to lay down, Solomon sighs, but suddenly smiles. "Tell you what Yami. If you go to bed, I'll not only tell you everything we find about the boy, but if we find where his tomb is located, I'll let you be the one to go in first! But!" Solomon says while holding up a finger. "But you have to go to bed when I tell you to. Deal?" Yami's face breaks into a wide smile and he hugs Solomon.

"Deal!!" Yami says and lays down. Solomon kisses Yami on his cheeks goodnight and heads out of the room. Right before Solomon left, Yami sat up. "Grandpa?" Solomon stops and looks at Yami. Yami smirks. "I'm going to be the one to find the boys tomb!" Solomon laughs and bids Yami a goodnight. Yami lays back down and stares at the ceiling.

'I will find this boys tomb. I'll find it!' thought Yami with determination before sleep claimed him.
