Long ago, when the pyramids were still young, Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these 'shadow games' erupted into a war that threatened to destroy the entire world, until a brave and powerful pharaoh locked the magic away...

Imprisoning it within the mystical Millennium Items...

Now, five thousand years later, a boy named Yugi unlocks the secret of the Millennium Puzzle. He is infused with ancient magical energies, for destiny has chosen him to defend the world from the return of the shadow games, just as the brave pharaoh did...

Five thousand years ago.

~Narrator's POV~

"Hey, Joey! Earth to Joey!"

I opened my eyes, to find myself still in class and watching two of my friends playing Duel Monsters. I must have dozed off while Joey was still deciding on his next move.

Oh, hello there. Where did you come from? Pleasure to meet you. My name is Eleanor Hale. I'm 16 years old, and... Well... I'm not really a 'normal' high school student. Well, actually, no-one is never normal. And I am no exception.

You see, my adopted grandfather used to tell me that I was born with a very rare skin condition. That only one of a million people can get. This birth defect gives me my unique appearance.

I have pale blue skin, that makes me look like a shining star. My figure is quite slender for my age. Pastel blue hair is average length that spikes outward, with bangs that frame my face. Pointed, elf-like ears. And my eyes are a malachite green, but I have no pupils or irises. I hide my eyes under a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Also, I have a bad case of nearsightedness.

I know. I'm very odd, and I was bullied for this. Until I met my four friends and everything changed. Let me introduce you to my friends.

First, we have Yugi Muto. He was the first friend I made, and it was during our childhood. He's quite short for his age. Excluding his spiky, tri-colored hair, Yugi barely reaches my shoulders.

Yeah, I'm quite short for my age too. So sue me.

Yugi's hair is black with a magenta sheen, with blonde bangs that take the shape of lightning bolts. His eyes are an innocent and timid violet.
