Hey there everybody, glad to see that you're interested in more of my stories! Happy Face Anyways, this story is going to be hella cool, er, off the hook, or whatever slang term you can think of for "Cool." I was inspired to write this while reading Eragon, which is an excellent read, I strongly urge you to pick it up. But yeah, that's where the idea came from. It takes place in the ancient times of Duel Monsters, when everything was like, real and stuff. I apologize for any historical inaccuracies; I'm too lazy to figure out time periods and such. Oh, and it's on Earth, no made up world or anything. It'll be interesting and I hope you enjoy!

Prologue
- The Era of Duel Monsters was a hectic time period. Confusion and chaos can easily sum up the attitude of the epoch. Long ago, when the continents were still connected, when history was starting to unfold, and more importantly, being recorded, something spectacular plagued the world. In a horrendous explosion which turned the once bountifully vegetated Sahara into the barren desert we know it as today, a rip in time and space itself was opened. This caused the unpredictable motion of two worlds colliding, forcing the realm of Monsters and Magic to take refuge on Earth.
- From then on, and mainly after years of recuperation, everything was entirely different to the natives of planet Earth. All new monsters, creatures, and even sentient beings, from ancient tales to dreams of the future, all existed and roamed freely causing many different phenomenons to happen. Along with these beings came all sorts of magics and powerful artifacts. The world was thrown into one heck of a loop.
- Eventually, earthly scholars and magicians of the other world started to work together to find a sense of equilibrium in their hectic surroundings. People were regularly taught the magic of capturing souls of creatures into objects, summoning the same souls from the objects, and most importantly, how to control them.
- Although this did cause things to retrieve their normality, the knowledge gained by the people wasn't particularly a good thing. Soon, wars started breaking out and armies started using the monsters they controlled as weapons. These wars were devastating and bloody beyond measure.
- Nevertheless, life went on, not as comfortably as some would hope, but time still continued to flow. The two worlds continued to exist within each other with minimal problems, until about two million years after the great rip between dimensions. Granted that many modern scholars and scientists believe all of this is just myth and legend, but records do show of a grand catastrophe, something that caused the large land mass to break apart into many pieces, most likely the continents of today, and also cause the disappearance of the mystical creatures and magics. But the hieroglyphics are mysteriously indecipherable, no one knows why, but neither can anyone figure the message out. These historical records were found in Egypt and were dated back before the pyramids were ever built.
- There are few who know the real truth about the ancient times today, but those who do possess great power within them and are most certainly connected somehow to the ancient world itself. What you are about to read is a story based on this same truth. May you be open minded and accept the truth as it actually happened.
