Prologue

Long ago in ancient times, there raged a war between a goddess of light named Millennia and a lord of darkness named Cobalt. Mortals all over the world fought for the power of these two battling deities. The ancient Egyptians believed in methods of borrowing the powers of the Gods. In time, Millennia and Cobalt's powers had been tampered with and used to build seven sacred objects known as the Millennium Items. This angered the Gods and a border between the human world and the Realm of Shadows opened. The magic of the Shadow Games got out of control and threatened to destroy the entire world until a brave pharaoh locked the dark magic away; imprisoning it within the mystical Millennium Items. But time itself moves in a circle and history repeats itself.

Now, five thousand years later, a boy named Yugi unlocks the powers of the Millennium Puzzle and the Shadow Games begin again. By the magic of the Puzzle, Millennia herself has bestowed upon Yugi ancient powers, for she has chosen him to defend the world from the return of the Shadow Games. But many still seek to use Millennia's power for their own selfish ambitions.
