Prologue: Jessi, Lone-hearted Girl looking for love
It was a long summer day in the town of Domino. Most of the denizens of this city were in their homes, enjoying time with their friends and family. Even Yuugi Motou, the legendary King of Games was enjoying his time with his friends. It seemed like the perfect place, but sometimes the place wasn't filled with perfect people.
As the blazing crimson sun began to set into the sea, a young girl about the age of sixteen with short black hair, who had dark brown eyes, exited the all-famous Kaiba Corporation building. Sweat was running down her face; you could see the exhaustion in her eyes. She had worked hard for the longest of days. She was not really known in the outside world, but in her mind, she was known as Jessi, outcast of the outside world.
Jessi had a look of sorrow in her face, it has been years ever since the last time she smiled. Ever since the death of her mother years ago, she had become a wanderer, disowned by her abusive father, and disowned by all. A wanderer desperate for someone to hold and comfort her, a wanderer desperate for love. As she walked home she remembered a conversation she had with her boss Seto Kaiba.
………………………………………
"Jessi, I am giving you the week off." Said Kaiba as he rolled around in his executive leather chair, "You complexion doesn't looks too well."
Jessi replied solemnly, "No sir…. I'm fine… I don't need a vacation."
Kaiba stared into Jessi's weary eyes. He squinted at her a little and sighed,
"Very well Jessi, you may continue to work…if you wish…"
Jessi bowed and left the room.
"Thank you Kaiba…"
…………………………………………………
Even if Jessi, wanted to, she couldn't catch a break. She was paid well by Kaiba, but because of the issues she has with her father, she didn't have enough money to feed herself. Every month, Jessi's father would come to visit her. But the visits weren't pleasant. He would beat Jessi almost to the point of death, and take more than half the money she had earned. Sure it seemed unfair, but when her father wants something from her, he gets it either way, whether if it was fair or not.
What is the point of living with a life full of pain? These thoughts ran through Jessi's mind everyday. No friends, no family, so what was the point of living without those two main essentials?? But what kept Jessi alive is something that happened years ago when she was just a young girl.
It was something that her mother gave her that kept her alive. When Jessi was just a young girl, she received a strange jewel from her mother before she died. A necklace with three crystal spheres forming a triangular shape, and a strange symbol, which looked like an eye in the center. She remembered her mother's final wish for her, her last will.
……………………………………….
"Mother, when you come home?" asked a eager little Jessi.
Jessi's mother was lying in bed in the hospital. She was gravely ill, and the doctors said that her injuries were beyond repair. She was soon going to die. However, Jessi didn't know her mother was soon going to pass.
"I'm afraid….I can't…" said the mother.
"I don't understand…"
"Jessi…. I have to go soon…."
Jessi's eyes began to tear. She was too young to lose the person that cherished her most. Her mother took her hand and placed it on Jessi's face. Then she sat up and removed the strange necklace that she wore. She put the necklace on Jessi.
"Jessi…this jewel is the Pharaoh's Pendant…it's a jewel from Ancient Egypt."
"Egypt?" asked Jessi.
"Yes… There's a strange legend about it too…" explained Jessi's mother, "Three thousand years ago, a young Pharaoh gave this jewel to his servant because he loved her. He wanted to marry her, but then a war broke out in the country. To end the war and save the world, the pharaoh had to seal his soul away along with the dark lord who threatened to destroy it….but before he left the world, he made a promise to his servant. He promised that one day he shall return, and accomplish the one task that he had not yet accomplished…"
"He still needs to marry her?"
"Yes… Jessi, always wear the Pharaoh's Pendant… If he returns, he will find you…and take your hand… Jessi, this is the task that has been handed down from our bloodline ever since the age of Ancient Egypt…. If you were not the one meant to be held by him, give it to your daughter…Jessi, please…."
"Mother!!!!"
………………………………………………….
Jessi stopped and stared at the small apartment from which she lived in. This was her home, whether she liked it or not. She opened the door to her quiet, lonely sanctuary and slowly went to the bedroom. She dropped her bags, locked the door, and collapsed on her bed. She laid there for the remainder of the evening, staring at the ceiling. She wondered if she was destined to find this pharaoh that her family has long sought for, or if she was to marry some random guy off the street and hand down an antique to her offspring.
"The world is a strange place…." Said Jessi as she fell asleep. Tears were beginning to flow down her face. One word kept ringing in her mind, the one element in the human world that she needed most, love. She cried herself to sleep quietly as the moon passed through the twilight.
