"They aren't there anymore.", the boy said.
Rebecca jumped with surprised and turned back to note him.
"Oh ! Hi Bakura !", she said with a smile, recognizing the calm mysterious guy.
"Hi Rebecca", he responded quietly, then looking back at the photo.
"So you're interested in the Millenium items ?"
"Who wouldn't ?", answered Rebecca, "I was wondering what could do Magic... you know... Are those items unique, or are they other things like these in our planet ?"
"You mean, like... other Millenium items ?", Bakura asked.
"Yes."
"Well ... ", Bakura paused seemingly lost in his thoughts, "... You know, not many people know about those 7 items. And even less know that they weren't exactly 7 but, in fact, 8 as far as I know ... But maybe there are just even more than that ..."
Surprised, Rebecca was suddenly very interested about Bakura's speech.
"Really ? There exists another Millenium item ? How would nobody knows that but you ?", she asked suspicious.
"Yes... I'm the only one now to know that, well, now you too. Even Yugi doesn't have a clue of this.", he continued.
"Do you remember the evil spirit that was in me when I wore the Millenium ring ?"
Rebecca nodded.
"When the Millenium items were created, he was there, watching the pharaoh's priests created these powerful items in the darkness. The evil spirit told me everything about it and told me that there was another Millenium item."
"Go on! Tell me more !", the blond girl asked with a growing interest.
"It's called the Millenium Heart. It's supposed to be a very powerful item that was build using the same process as with the 7 others Millenium items, right after them."
Looking nowhere, eyes stuck into the void, Bakura considered not telling more about the Millenium heart to Rebecca but thought it couldn't do any harm.
"I supposed Yugi or someone told you about how the Millenium item were created, right ?", he continued, not waiting
any answer from her.
"Many thousand years ago, when Aknadin traveled to the village of Kul Elna, he and his army slaughtered the entire
village, and used people to create 7 magic items for his pharaoh in order to protect Egypt of greater threats.
The process of creation induced melting flesh of these people, their bones, their blood, theirs souls ... with liquefied gold and powerful sorcery.
That day, a big number of life ended. Sure, Kul Elna was inhabited only by bad people, thieves, dishonest human beings and murderers, but it was still a horrible butchery..."
Bakura paused again, remembering the story his dark side told him.
"Nearly everybody in the village died this day... But not that evil spirit that would haunted me thousands of year later.
He told me he survived and that, from that day, his mind was filled with hatred, rage, and revenge.
He wanted so hard to kill the pharaoh, his army, and everybody he loved.
What people don't know is that 'Thief King' knew how Aknadin and his priests made the Millenium items.
And in order to get his revenge, he decided to try to made one himself."
"But how could he made it ? He couldn't kill an entire village himself as well to got the material, right ?", cut off Rebecca.
"You think he couldn't find that much people to slaughter for his plan of creating his own Millenium item ? ...", he answered.
"Well, in fact, yes, you might be right. But he didn't actually need to murdered anybody anyway. Kul Elna was indeed a small village, but, at the time, it numbered nearly 2 to 3 hundred inhabitants.
If 99 bodies were only used to create the 7 first items, the evil spirit, the 'Thief King', had at his disposal many others corpse of murdered people still right there, left there streaked with blood by Aknadin and his soldiers...
And he wasn't called 'Thief King' for nothing. He had gold... Tons of it...
Thus, It wasn't that much difficult for him to re-use the same process the high priest did to create another last Millenium item.
An evil and corrupted secret magic item that nobody would know about..."
"The Millenium Heart ...", whispered Rebecca, with a dreamy tone.
"Yes, the Millenium Heart ... 'Thief King' created it with the purpose to destroy everything...
Though, 'Thief King' was evil, powerful, but he wasn't a priest. And while he got the process of creation more or less right, he never succeed to create this item as he wanted to be.
The result was a magic item that could destroy many thing, but only physical things ...
To be more specific, the Millenium Heart could altered physical and living things, whether in an attempt to destroy its
integrity or to simply modifying it.", said Bakura.
"A Millenium item to change any living being ?", Rebecca asked him.
"Yes, more or less but only physically, and on limited effect. 'Thief King' wasn't skilled enough to make the Heart affect minds,
unlike any other Millenium item. Making it a Millenium item of a lesser power. The item was also unstable and unreliable.
While he could have used it to make some damage among the Pharaoh's army, he knew the Millenium Heart wasn't powerful enough to annihilate the pharaoh and his priests anyway and that it was no match for them.
He was very disappointing and didn't thought further of possible use of it. So he threw it away ... That was at this moment he thought of gathering the actual 7 other Millenium items, instead of creating his own, to reach his goal and get his revenge. After that, the Millenium Heart was forgotten, left behind by 'Thief King' itself...." ended Bakura.
"... And that is all ? ...", asked Rebecca, hungry for more information
"Yes, that is all !", answered Bakura with a big smile, back to a more joyful voice tone.
"So you are telling me that there is this Millenium Heart, just ... dropped or buried somewhere, and absolutely nobody give a single care of it and nobody found it all those years ?!", she asked, not believing it.
