Ebony - Yep! This is Ebony writing this fic, this is the first fan fic I'm writing by myself! ((YAY)) My friend May will probably be just as surprised as you when she finds out that I've ACTUALLY to post this fic ((surprising myself)) since were writing a fic together at the moment for Pandora Hearts. I apologize if the chapters are a bit short, but with time and practise, they should start to get longer: D. Anyway, enough of my notes, please enjoy the prologue!
Solomon knew that Yuugi was special the very day he was born. He knew from the way that the millennium puzzle glowed its golden light on its intricately carved, Egyptian pedestal, on the weeks leading up to his grandson's birth. He knew that this small boy would grow up to have a very big destiny.
'He will make a fine protector one day…' Solomon thought as he smiled down at the little Yuugi, who was reaching for the greying bangs that fell around his wrinkling face.
Solomon carried Yuugi into the basement of his home, he walked over to the secret trap door hidden by the various merchandise that cluttered the ground, making it almost impossible to step without tripping over a soft plushie, or a box of trading cards that were going to put on the shelves tomorrow morning. This was a trap door that only the Mouto family had any idea about. He slowly climbed down the steep wooden steps, taking care that he did not slip, stumble or fall. Solomon strode over to the magnificent display of millennium items where the Millennium puzzle glowed curiously, lighting the room and making the light fittings in the room appear unnecessary in comparison to the light the puzzle provided.
Even Solomon, who had great knowledge of the ancient scriptures and relics that surrounded the millennium items, couldn't work out what the strange glowing signified. Solomon sighed and walked over to the display, trying to once again decipher why exactly it had begun to glow on the weeks leading to Yuugi's birth.
Yuugi stopped reaching for Solomon's hair as they neared the millennium puzzle, the golden light getting stronger and stronger, blinding almost.
Solomon shielded his eyes against the harsh light and was about to curse when he remembered that the young Yuugi lay in his arms. The small child's arms out-stretched to the light.
The light became blinding at that moment, Solomon covered his grandson's eyes, not wanting Yuugi to come to any harm so soon. When the light began to fade, Solomon opened his eyes and patiently waited for his eyes to adjust to the change in light.
When Solomon could finally see again, he looked upon the pedestal, there was another child there, sleeping peacefully with the puzzle around his small neck.
He looked exactly like Yuugi.
Yuugi was also wearing the puzzle, which was impossible, since only one of each millennium item existed in the whole world, but both the puzzle and Yuugi seemed to have been replicated. Two, almost perfect copies.
Solomon stood for some time, mouth agape, not quite knowing what to do. So he did the only thing he could do. He scooped up the sleeping child who had appeared beside one of the seven, ancient, dark items, and slowly walked towards back towards the steps, leading out of the basement. He decided on impulse to call the child Yami, which meant Dark, after the dark past of the millennium items, and the dark things they kept sealed away. He would raise Yuugi and Yami as brothers, they would keep each other company, Solomon smiled at the thought. He had always been an only child himself, and had dreamed of having a brother.
He walked up the stairs to the newly decorated nursery and lay down the two small children smiling as he watched over the two, sleeping peacefully.
Two months later, Solomon descended to basement to find that the golden light was once again enveloping the room. Yet this time, it was the millennium ring's turn. Solomon checked through the Mouto family to see if there were to be any more children, but there were none, and Solomon felt just as confused as he had been the time the millennium puzzle began to shine.
Not long following it, the rod also began to glow but Solomon ignored it, not knowing what else to do.
