Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Yuugioh. I only own my ideas (and my YGO DVDs).
Pairings: main - Seto/Katsuya (eventual), all other pairings are undecided at this point.
Warnings: None at the moment, but please be advised that this is the preface of a long literary work. As far as my outlines go, this is going to be a two "book" fanfiction, with each "book" lasting about 20+ chapters. Be prepared for the long haul in a different (but parallel) universe.
Patterns of the Powerful
Series Preface
Chapter 0
Life is a circle. A cycle without beginning or end.
Many have said that once a person is thrust into Life that the person can never fully extract from it.
No matter how the person lives; no matter what the person does; no matter how hard the person tries; the events that occur will undoubtedly occur.
No matter if the person wants them to or not.
Many have also said that this cycle in life is called 'Fate' or 'Destiny.'
It is also said that during this cycle there is always something lingering in the neither regions of the brain.
Some kind of feeling.
Some kind of thought.
Some kind of sign.
Some kind of logical explanation as to 'why.'
But that 'something' is always just out of grasp. That once you think you have it, it just slips away again. Sometimes it haunts you, but sometimes it disappears entirely. Not to be seen for many a year.
It is times when this 'something' vanishes entirely that you realized that there are pieces missing. But you can't seem to pinpoint what they are.
It is also when this 'something' vanishes that you realize that you are not whole. And so you search for that piece that will complete you.
But, life is a cycle.
One that will continue on without your permission. And so, even if you are looking for that piece, that 'something,' events will occur that will start the next part of the cycle.
Many have tried to stop this cycle of Life. All have failed.
Many think that Power, whatever it may be, can stop Life.
Many have tried to wield Power in order to stop the next stage. All have failed.
This is a chronicle of select instances; of some of the times that Power has tried to be used in order to halt the cycle of Life.
Some instances may be happy, some may be sad. But all are somehow intertwined in Life, for this cycle has no beginning or end.
Author Notes: There you have it, folks. This is the Preface to the entire series. I originally started this project in 2009, so the preface deserved a facelift. Basically everything from this point forward is brand new. First stop: Ancient Egypt.
Please remember that while this series is a technically a different universe from YGO canon, it has some parallel events. Have fun!
As always, reviews/comments/constructive-criticism/questions/concerns are always welcome and super-special-awesome.
