The Legend of the Spirits

Chapter 1: Legends

Adam Mandaro sat in his velvet chair watching the fire and began to think of a rarely told Egyptian legend from his childhood. The Legend of the Spirits, or so it was called, foretold of three spirits who have the ability of living forever, as long as they find a worthy host. The legend also told that whoever conquered all three spirits would gain the power to rule the world. This intrigued Adam, the billionaire CEO of Quasi Corp, had always dreamed of world domination, no matter how cliché it was, and decided to embark on a quest to capture these spirits. However, he needed a way to find them.

Within the month, Adam had taken a transatlantic flight to Egypt and was expecting to meet up with his guide at the airport. However, when the guide, Kashigi Matsuhari (who was a world-famous expert on Egyptian legend) was nowhere to be found, Adam began to worry. "Kashigi! Kashigi!" he shouted.

No one answered. The shouting continued and his fellow travelers began to label him as a random crazy man in the airport.

"Kashigi! Kashigi!"

Still no one answered, when running threw the doors came a 32 year old man from the Tokyo flight.

"Omachidoosama," Kashigi said frantically.

Adam just stared at him and eventually asked.

"What the hell did you just say?"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Kashigi replied. "My flight was delayed due to a freak dragon attack in the Mt. Fuji area. No planes in all of Japan were allowed to leave the ground until it had been subdued. Thankfully a legendary samurai rose from the dead temporarily to slay the dragon in a stunning two hour battle. The clashing of Katsuhara the Samurai and the red dragon was a complete spectacle and it was impos-" He was interrupted by the snores of Adam.

"WAKE UP! I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU WHY I'M LATE. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

Adam woke and said" Let's get down to business. We must find these spirits."

"Yes. Yes. Let's start that."

Kashigi then told Adam that the three spirits live within three items. The millennium rod, the millennium ring, and the millennium puzzle. These three items are of a group of seven, forged from the bodies and souls of thousands of thieves during the time of ancient Egypt. The millennium items were created, without Pharaoh Yami's approval in order to save Egypt. In later rimes, the spirits of Yami, Bakura and Marik were sealed in the puzzle, ring, and rod respectively. Throughout the ages, certain people have gained the ability to use these items, some for good, such as Yugi Moto, who solved the Millennium Puzzle that contained Yami, and some for bad. However, those who used the items for evil only used them that way because the spirits inside of the items took control of the mind and body of the user. Adam was amazed by this account and was eager to begin his adventure to becoming the supreme lawyer of the world. Kashigi, on the other hand had different plans.
