Prologue to Destiny
"Sister, I forbid you to go through with this! I cannot allow you to sacrifice yourself!" the pharaoh told the young woman beside him.
"Dear brother, you really have no choice. I must do this to fulfill my destiny, as you must fulfill yours," the girl replied.
"But Katilli, it is suicide!"
"Pharaoh Yami, you must perform the ceremony and seal the Shadow Games. The Millennium Items are the only way to do this. This rite to create the Items will help save the world. If you do not do this, the world will quake under the weight of unchained powers. It is an honor to protect my people from the great evils that threaten them."
Katilli knew her brother well, and so she knew that he hated the thought of sacrificing any life, especially the life of someone he loved. Katilli and Yami were very close and that made it harder to make him go on, but he must.
"But, if I do go through with this, I will lose you forever, sister." There were tears forming in the pharaoh's eyes. Katilli smiled a small smile at Yami.
"Brother, you will not lose me forever. Fate works in mysterious ways sometimes, and I am willing to wager that fate has not yet finished with me." Her face became more serious. "Now, we must prepare for the ceremony. Come, brother."
The chanting voices rang down the palace halls, bouncing off its walls and sounding through the passages.
A girl's scream is heard, then nothing for a long moment. Then a cry of mental anguish follows.
"Sister…why did it have to be you that was sacrificed?" Tears streamed down Yami's eyes. He quickly wiped them away. "No…no more tears. I will not allow my emotions to overcome me now." Yami's hands balled into fist. "I swear on my life that I will never allow the Shadow Games to be released."
He looked down at the still body of his sister.
She was his only family.
And now she was gone…gone and nothing he could do could bring her back to life…
She was very brave to take on such a burden for the sake of humanity.
She will live on in his heart forever…
No matter what…

Joy: So sad T__T But I had to find a way to get some background into the story, otherwise you'd all be confused the next chapter. So, Yami has, or rather had a sister, and she had to be sacrificed to create the Millennium Items. Do you like it? Review and give me comments and suggestions for the next chapter. Till then, ja ne (see ya)!
