Prologure: Legend
5000 years ago in ancient Egypt, a power-hungry sorcerer sought to control the four elements. With that omnipotent power at his disposal, he could force the all of the known world to bow before him. Fortunately, he failed. He was too weak to handle all the power; it would have destroyed him.
But he found another way. He chose four of the purest, most innocent children he could find, and tricked them into performing the ritual. Their names were Yami Mutou, Bakura Itsumo, Seto Kaiba, and Marik Ishtar. Yami became the element of fire, Bakura became the element of water and ice, Seto became the element of air and wind, and Marik became the element of earth. He had created four of the most powerful shadow creatures ever.
But all did not go as planned. The Four despised their maker for what he did to them. They were cursed forever, and they wanted vengeance. They rebelled against the sorcerer, killing and maiming him beyond belief. Without their master to control them, they were set loose upon Egypt. They destroyed everyone who crossed their path.
At last a few of the people had enough. Six mages rose up against the dark beings, hoping to forever rid the sands of their plague. But they were far to powerful for the mages to terminate by then, having mastered their powers. The mages didn't know what to do. The Four seemed indestructible. There was only one way to bring about an end to this terror that had befallen their home.
They imprisoned the four elements in a hidden tomb, deep within the ground. But they were forced to sacrifice themselves in the process.
The sands of time slowly erased the memory of what had happened from the minds of the people. But there are a few who have not forgotten. We are the descendents of the six mages. We guard the tomb, awaiting the day that the Prophecy will be fulfilled. We are the Watchers.
