Note: I have a very vague idea where this story is going so I am letting the words take me. I might change the title later, I don’t know. Depends on what happens in the story.

Millennium Conspiracy
By Master Marik

Chapter One
Something’s aren’t meant to be found.

“Ha! I win again!”
“You cheated!” they eight year-old boy yelled at his dueling friend.
“Did not,” The other boy yelled. “Sis, tell Lance that I didn’t cheat.”
The boy’s teenage sister came out the kitchen and looked at the duel monster cards laid out on the living room floor.
“Lance is right, Davy. You did cheated.” The girl said.
Davy stuck out his tongue at his older sister. “What do you know. Your just a sister and you suck.”
The sister got an annoying look in her eye and lucky for Davy the phone rang ending the sibling’s bickering. The girl ran into the kitchen and answered the cordless phone.
“Jones Residents. Maki speaking.”
“Hey Maki!” a female voice said on the other end.
“Hey Lindsay. What’s up?
Lindsay sounded excited. “The Battle City Finals are on TV. Are you watching it?”
Maki sighed. “No I’m not. I have an extra credit essay I’m working on for school. I’m recording it though.”
“Good because the cable at my house is busted and I can’t watch it.” Lindsay laughed. “So what are you doing for your essay? You know, if you when it Domino High, you wouldn’t have to do extra credit.” She teased Maki.
“I am going to do and essay on Ancient Egypt. And no thank you. If I went to Domino High then I would have to ware that cheeky uniform that would make me look like I fell in a vat of pink dye.”
Lindsay laughed. “Yeah I know. Anyways, call me later and tell me about the Finals. Tell me if any of the guys look hot.”
“Ok…I will call you later then. Bye.”
“Bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Maki planed herself in front of the computer and did a google search on ‘Ancient Egypt.’ Hundreds of sites popped up. To make things easier, Maki click on the first link on the page called “Egyptian History Link Data Base.” A new site came up with more links then on the google search.
“100,000,000 Links!” Maki exclaimed looking at the large, daunting, link data base. Not wanting to spend all night on this stupid essay, Maki clicked on the “Random Link” button. Soon a strange looking webpage came up.

Legend of the Shadow Games. The tile read in large letters. Maki contained to read down the page.

Back in ancient times,
The page read.
It is said a dark game was played by members of high Egyptian social status. This game was play both for land, wealth, and some times to decide the fate of the world. It is believed that the dark powers that were used to play this game got out of control and was trapped in artifacts. Although it is just a myth and most likely never existed, the seven artifacts that holds this dark power is said to be called The Millennium Items.

The webpage then continues on telling the myths of each of the Millennium Items along with pictures of what the artifacts might have looked like.
Maki leaned back in here chair. “Cursed mummies and ancient artifacts totally rock, but know one would believe me if I wrote about some kind of “Millennium Items” or whatever. Cool site thought.” Maki added the site to here Favorites Folder and printed out a copy for herself.

Tired and brain dead from spending an hour and a half on her essay, Maki flopped down on her bed and popped the Battle City Finals video into her VCR. She accidentally missed the paring up of the duelist so the tape started just as the first duel of the Finals begun. Maki watched the video half asleep until she noticed some kind of ring-necklace that was being worn by one of the duelists. She looked at the paper that she had printed off the internet and then quickly grabbed her phone on the night stand and called her friend.
“Lindsay” she said staring at her TV with wide eyes. “I think you might want to come over and see this.”
