3000 B.C.
The long hair of the golden-haired princess shined in the light illuminating above in the tower. Shock and surprise was on her face as she took in what the robed woman just said. That woman apparently knew a lot of the ancient people just by stating that. Not much people actually knew Mai to be a princess unless she wishes them so. She looked at her tablet holders and understood what had to be done.
"But before we begin, let me ask you one simple question," she asked, "Who are you?"
"You don't remember me?" the woman replied.
"No, not really, then again, let me see your face at least!" Mai answered.
"All right," and as the woman pulled down her hood, she revealed to be Kisara, the blue-eyed and white-skinned girl.
She then pulled herself up, and asked, "Where is Mana or Muhado?" Mai responded as if she was talking with her best friend, and she was... in a certain way. The eyes of Kisara glowed in the light, and she knew what she had to do in order to keep Seto's soul safe, because no one understood what really happened...
Seto wandered around the empty staircase lost by its mesmeric trance, the dark gray color reflecting the colors of the oddly shaped and colored ball of light in the middle. The truth is Seto is in fact looking at the soul of himself, the harsh and lonely soul of the priest that wielded the millennium rod.
Seto is searching for his soul in this lonely place, trying to put back all of the pieces in whole like a jigsaw puzzle. He has no memory of how he got here, what he had just done, or where he is. It seems that Marik took his toll on Seto, and he can't escape this place without one single thing. That single thing is the true name of the nameless pharaoh, who is the tamer of the shadow realm.
If the name of the nameless pharaoh is said out loud, any person can use it to bring back one mind from the shadow realm. In fact, the true purpose really of Ra and Marik trying to defeat pharaoh is that hidden inside his mind is his name, and they need the help of the shadow realm to get it. Kisara agreed to this because she wants to undo the damage and repay Seto for saving her from the slave master.
Kisara stood with her tablet disk and waited for Mai to make her move, for she has already prepared her tablets. A tear dripped down Kisara's face, but it seems that even she herself did not seem to notice it. Mai took out her tablets and chanted out a spell.
All of the tiny tablets transformed into 8 feet rocks that now laid facedown and with another chant of both Mai and Kisara, the tablets started to float about a foot off the ground, making a glow about the color of dark purple for Mai and a light blue for Kisara. "Duel!" they cried, and the duel for the secret began. Kisara could not tell the pharaoh of this because he will put himself in danger, and even though Seto has never liked the pharaoh, he seems to not want any danger to be near the pharaoh.
Seto, despite his anger, had some sense in him and was always loyal. Even if his father had persuaded him to become the next pharaoh by killing the nameless pharaoh, he disagreed and went on his business without ever having the thought of rebellion. The tablets warmed up and the duel between them started.
