When Lightning Falls

A travesty and a tragedy, told in two parts. A flashback from Rhian and Rafal's past as it ties to their present. From how they began and where they started to where they are now. From School grounds to the Great War in Neverland, suspicion and chaos abound. By the Storian's reasoning and the Storian's reasoning alone, where they began brought them to where their luck ran dry.

This is a canon-divergent fic.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I wrote this fic BEFORE the publication of Fall, so don't expect this to follow canon at all. This prediction was incredibly incorrect.

Context: This, in a way, serves as both a prequel and a prediction fic. It's sort of a two-shot, two-scene fic. Part 1 takes place when the brothers are around seven years old. And, the first part is largely based on my theory about the brothers' origins. That theory is essentially about how the brothers could have been an exceptional case, born from magic, like Agatha and Sophie were, to be the souls that they are. And, not only that, they may have been created, not born, with a certain intent, so they could be used by a certain villainous pen.

Warning: This fic is probably a bit less sympathetic toward Rafal by its conclusion than my usual writing is.
