[MEMORY LOG] Memory #21
The slaughter at Kul Elna. [35.308]
FROM: Hatter and Columbine's carnival
FORM: a noisemaker that says WINNER!!! that gives a memory and sprays confetti when blown.
SHAREABLE: 2/3
HEEEERE WE GO.
So. Yeah. In order to create the Millennium Items, Akhenaden needed 99 human sacrifices. To get these, he secretly slaughtered the entire village of Kul Elna... and then fed their bodies to vats of boiling metal and made the Items out of their remains. I'm assuming that even in its dying state (see my earlier post on headcanon regarding the village), Kul Elna was home to more than 99 people, and the rest were slaughtered just so that there would be no witnesses.
The Thief King would have been around six years old at this time, and he saw the whole thing. His friends and family were murdered right in front of him in horribly degrading ways and he couldn't do anything about it but watch. He was also the only survivor. (SHUT UP, GX MANGA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU)
I can't really emphasize enough how important this memory is. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to convey how much the memory of Kul Elna's destruction is Dark Bakura's character, and I don't really know how! But it's basically the source of the Thief King's motives for wanting the Items and revenge, and it's why he eventually becomes the entity known as Dark Bakura. It answers most of the questions Shes has about his memories.
It's also going to cause a major trauma-induced breakdown when he takes the memory.
