The Beginning of the Miraculous

by Nina of Fairy Tail

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste may have been when you started hearing about the Miraculous but it didn't begin there. It started long ago, millennia before we were born. A story that - if allowed - could take up pages and pages. Do you want to know more? (I don't own cover image and this is meant to be a two-shot)

1. The Beginning

The Ladybug.

The Black Cat.

One, an embodiment of prosperity and luck. The other, misery and misfortune.

Yet, despite how different the two seemed, they fit together perfectly.

Like pieces of a puzzle, hand in hand, light and darkness, Yin and Yang. They were two parts of one whole. From them, emerged many others.

The Bee, Fox, Peacock, Turtle, Butterfly to name a few.

Although, many appeared into existence, it was the Ladybug and Black Cat that were the foundation, the bond that tied them altogether.

A bond - that if broken - could never be repaired. The Red String of Fate that connected the two. It was fragile yet stronger than anyone could imagine.

Many wanted to harness the strange and mysterious (yet unique) power of the extraordinary creatures. Some had good intention. Healing the sick, helping the poor but there was also people with dark intention. For as long as there was light in the world, there was also darkness. The world could only be harmonious if light and darkness were balanced and worked together.

Sadly, this was not the case.

Corruption, Deception and Greed consumed and settled in the hearts of humanity. Soon, war rose in the midst of chaos, pandemonium and sinfulness was born.

Neighbour fighting Neighbour, Brother fighting Brother, Daughter fighting Daughter and all the while watching this turmoil unfold was the very creatures that awakened the madness. They all knew something had to be done so they gathered together.

Eyes filled with sorrow, they discussed what needed to happen. Though many argued that nothing could be done, the Black Cat and Ladybug believed that these people still had good left in them.

As the unofficial leaders, their word was law. They knew that whatever decision they made would affect the balance and binding between the world . . . and between them.

So it was decided.

The creatures turned into smaller and rarer versions of themselves: Kwami. They were given new names. Their disparate power along with themselves would be transferred into jewellery and accessories.

Tedious, compared to what they actually signified. No one would ever think such rare and magnificent power could be in such a thing.

They would be handed to worthy successors who would use their power for welfare. They hoped that the discord and war that placed upon the Earth would end. The world got peaceful as the days went by yet in a dark corner of the Earth, malicious dealings were being made and the creatures realised that no matter how hard they worked, there would always be bad will.

It was human. It was the way the world worked.

Soon, they came to terms with that because no matter how worse things seemed, there would always be at least one person who worked for good.

Without good, there was no bad. Without bad, there was no good.

Without the Ladybug, there was no Black Cat and without the Black Cat, there was no Ladybug.

Miraculous, that's what they would be called now. The secret that protected the world, the hidden society.

Remember, despite how much evil there is, you can always look up to someone good. Uncertainty will always grow into complacency. There is always someone who will love and trust you.

There is always good . . .
