Today's Fortune Cookie: Magic is always the best solution -- especially reliable magic

**************

It's foolish really.

It's a threat, a foe to be defeated.

I mean, its just a game. Yeah, a fun one, but a game nonetheless.

The fate of the world literally hangs on the turn of a card. Just as it did in the old days.

I don't know why people seem to take it so seriously.

They can feel it in their souls. The cards are dangerous.

Grandpa gave me the Millennium Puzzle, I don't know where he got it. From the way he talked, I was expecting fireworks when I solved it.

For five thousand years I slept inside the puzzle only to be woken by a mere boy. This was my vessel?

That's when I started getting into dueling, y'know?

We often can not choose our tools, what we are given is all we have.

It was weird, when I first sat down to play, it felt like I done this before.

I was surprised to see this Duel Monsters game that was so much like the Game of old. The similarities were shockingly similar. Too similar.

But I was curious, I wanted to know more. At least, I think I did.

I began to manipulate the boy, getting him interested in the game.

I didn't start hearing the voice until the duel with Kaiba. At first, I thought I was losing my mind.

Kaiba forced me to get involved personally, rather then simply nudging the boy towards the right cards.

I suddenly heard someone telling me which cards to use and then...I'm not really sure.

It was then that I realized how closely linked the boy and I had become.

I don't know why, but I trust him, the voice I mean. It's like we're the same person.

His friends are mine, his family is mine. I share in all things that he thinks and feels.

Now, when I duel, its like parts of me step aside.

They don't see me take the boy's place. That may be for the best. Though I must work through him. Through his thoughts and words, not mine.

I must get my Grandfather back.

I must stop the Game before it's too late.

I'm Yugi Mouto, I'm just a kid.

I am Yami, I am The Game King.

I don't understand.

I do...
