Yu–Gi–Oh – Journey Through the Shadow Realm
Prologue
In the dark fields of the shadow realm a human figure runs from the monsters in the shadows. As she ran through fields that all appeared to be the same she came to a small area where nothing at all looked different and watched the monsters growl around her and smiled. Her white robe swayed around her ankles in the wind as she searched in the recesses of it. She pulled out three small stone tablets and lay them on the ground, pulling a staff from her back she waved it over the three stones.
"Ancient spirits set in stone," she chanted, "I release you from your ancient prison, come forth to complete your ancient contract!"
The wind in the area picked up as the robe and her blond hair billowed from the ancient powers she channelled. As the staff glowed, the three stones resonated with it's power and unleashed the spirits set into them.
Sweat dropped down the girls face as the mists grew and three shadows formed. The mists cleared to reveal the Dark Magician, Red Eyes Black Dragon and the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"The contract will be fulfilled as three of the guardians prepare to send the fourth from the shadows and into the light," stated the Dark Magician, "The guardian will find he who believes himself to be the ancient Pharaoh reborn and test to see if his power is true."
"How will I test him?" said the girl almost as though reading from a script.
"The powers of the guardians will be bestowed upon you," said the Dark Magician, "Taking whichever form the ancient shadow games have taken in these times."
As he spoke these words a deck appeared in her hand and a Duel Disk appeared on her left arm.
"If it is true then he will take the forbidden path and remove us from those chains that bind us," said the girl.
"And if he is not?" said the Dark Magician.
"His spirit will be cast into the depths of the shadow realm never to return," said the girl.
"Then let the ancient contract be fulfilled," said the Dark Magician holding his staff over her. Her clothes changed from the robe to a t – shirt and jeans and the staff into a bracelet. She walked towards the two dragons who placed their heads together to form an arch. The Dark Magician pointed his staff at the arch created by the two dragons as a portal appeared within it. The Dark Magician walked up to the young girl.
"I wish you luck my former student," he said, "This may be the last time the contract will be fulfilled as the monsters grow stronger each time and the next, you may not make it."
"Thank you master," whispered the girl as she stepped through the portal.
