21 parts Ongoing MatureIn the golden sands of Ancient Egypt, Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen's health is fading, and his son, young Prince Atem, must swiftly prepare to assume the throne before it's too late. Amidst rising tensions with Libya, fate intertwines his path with a mysterious young Libyan peasant-moon-skinned, soft-spoken, and far more than he appears. Atem's heart aches to protect him from the cruelty of their world.
But the peasant, now a slave under royal rule, has dreams of his own-dreams that don't necessarily include the prince. And while war looms and childhood fades, both must navigate love, duty, trauma, and the weight of destiny.
This is the untold past. Before the Millennium Puzzle. Before Duel Monsters. Before everything we thought we knew about Atem and Yugi... there was Heba.
