• IN PROGRESS •
A fan-written backstory detailing the origins of Aro, the leader of the Volturi.
In Athens, Greece, over 3,000 years ago, a baby boy was born, though endangering his mother's life to near-death. In order to save her, the mother had to experience a change, one that unknowingly would shape the existence of her child's life for centuries to come. This change was known as the transformation into a potis aimatos. In English, this translates to blood drinker.
Henceforth, the human boy would grow up within two worlds, blossoming into an introspective child who was curious about each one from the start. The world of the potis aimatos astounded him. Immortality, enhanced physicality, heightened senses. Time allowing for infinite knowledge to be gained. One day, he knew a mere human fascination would not be enough. This world was one of which he knew he belonged. And one day, he would grow to become one of the most powerful figures such world had ever seen.
And it all began in ancient Athens, with a human boy's innocent curiosities.
Everyone has to begin somewhere, after all.
