Prologue

My name; unimportant. It is my story that is the upmost importance. I was a normal girl at one point but was touched by the divines and turned into a special warrior destined to save her people from the darkest doom. My story begins at my village in Lower Egypt. I was playing innocently just outside the village. I and my closest friend were playing in the nearby stream when the great Ra was hidden. In olden legends it was said that during the times when Ra was hidden from view is when he would come down to anoint his choice warrior to protect his brother the Pharaoh. Today was the day my entire life shifted. I had just splashed my friend as Ra himself stood behind me. I watched my friend fall to his knees face first into the ground. Confused I just stood and stared before I slowly turned around. I quickly fell to my knees and lowered my eyes.

"Rise up Ankunan. I have come to anoint you as my holy warrior. I need you in three years time to ride to the palace in Upper Egypt and give yourself to Pharaoh as a warrior. But first do you accept this fate?" I stood up as he rested his hands on my arms to pull me up.

"Great Ra I do accept the path you have set before me. I wish to serve you." I replied as I looked up into his face.

What I saw amazed me. The man before me had gentle, deep brown eyes, longish black hair and tanned skin that covered his body. In my eyes this man looked much like my father who passed after the last war. When the urge came to hug him I couldn't resist it. Ra only gathered me into his arms and held me close. It had been to long since I had been held like this. I was an orphan, hiding from the Slave Traders that often came collecting the orphans that were openly out on the streets. I knew how to fight, and I fought well but the reason why I fought so hard was to protect my friend. If he was ever caught he would be sold to be a pleasure slave with his gentle cherubic features and his slim body. He had nearly been caught numerous times by Slavers but each time I got him out. Even when my father was still alive I still fought desperately to keep him out, I didn't care if I received any lashings. I couldn't let my friend, the total embodiment of innocence get taken and broken. As if he was reading my thoughts Ra spoke about the Slavers.

"My child, if it is the Slavers you fear, don't. No more will pass through this town until after you and Yugi ride out towards the palace. Together you both can save the Pharaoh's son. Do not worry the Pharaoh will accept you both. Ankunan by the time you reach the palace you will have the strategic and fighting prowess that would rival any general. But you will have one thing none of Pharaoh's warriors have and that is a set of wings and the power to summon and control monsters in magical battles, proof that you have indeed been touched and chosen by me." Ra then let me go and picked Yugi up as if he weighed nothing. "You, Yugi, if you accept will be given the ability to bear children. But only those that are of the one you love."

Yugi only looked down contemplating. "Are you sure I will find love in our travels?"

Ra only chuckled and pulled Yugi's head up. "Your destination is where you will find not only love but also more friends and a place to call home." Yugi nodded eagerly, accepting Ra's blessing and the mark that would be proof of him being touched by Ra. To me it looked like an upside down pyramid, but it was no matter. We were touched by Ra and promised a safety in the town from Slavers.

"My children it is time for me to return to my place in the heavens but always know that I watch closely over you."

We nodded and waved as we watched Ra return to his place as we returned to ours. I was no doubt scared; I was destined to be the personal Guard of Pharaoh and without a doubt his son. And my little Yugi was destined to find a home, love, and more friends. What I didn't realize at the time is that the mark left by Ra on Yugi's neck was the Millennium Puzzle, the Item of the royal family.
