==Summary==
Shadi stares silently at Dark Yugi. Dark Yugi asks him if he's afraid and tells him to show some courage. Shadi has visited many people's soul rooms in his time, but there is always been only one room. He finds this room cold and dark. He spots hieroglyphics along the walls and realizes that this room is like an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb.
Dark Yugi says that he doesn't know what power Shadi used to find this place, but demands that he explain why he's here. Shadi laughs that from Dark Yugi's perspective, he's an unwanted guest and answering that is the least he can do. He announces that he came to discover the secrets of the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]], which is one of the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]]. The story of the Items dates back 3000 years to the [[Valley of the Kings]], Shadi explains, that as written in the [[Book of the Dead|Pert Em Hru]], they were made by the magicians, who served the Pharaohs in order to punish thieves, who would defile tombs of Pharaohs and steal treasures.
Dark Yugi asks if Shadi came here with a Millennium Item. Shadi explains the powers of the [[Millennium Key (manga)|Millennium Key]]; it opens the door to people's [[soul room]]s, where one can discover everything about the person; who they are, what they love and fear and even what they don't know about themselves. He also tells him about the other Item he possesses, the [[Millennium Scales (manga)|Millennium Scales]], which are used to weigh the sins of a person on trial.
However he doesn't know the powers of the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]] because it has never been solved. To find out, he has entered Dark Yugi's soul and if the power is needed, he shall draw it into his bloodline. Dark Yugi confirms that the power Shadi seeks does exist within his room, but won't allow Shadi to see it so easily. He says that Shadi knows the routine; this is a game, a [[Shadow Game]].
===The Shadow Game===
[[File:Shadi falls through the floor.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Shadi Shin|Shadi]] falls through the floor.]]
Shadi tries a few more doors. He comments that this soul is tightly closed against strangers. Although it seeks to confuse him, he refuses to give up, as he must know the secret of the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]].
Shadi enters a room and finds Dark Yugi sitting on a throne. He wonders of this could be the true room, but the floor under him collapses, leaving him hanging onto the floor with one hand. Shadi fears that if he falls, he'll be lost in this soul forever. Dark Yugi stands over the hole and asks if he should push Shadi in, but offers him his hand and helps him out.
