A/N: Here's the start of part 2. Thanks to everyone who read part 1 and have been waiting for part 2 to start. Unfortunately life is beginning to catch up with me so please don't expect frequent updates. There will be updates just not as often as I would hope there to be. Anyway, here's a bit of a refresher on part 1 and a little bit about the Fae and Gaia. Feel free to leave a review and enjoy the story.
The Story Thus Far:
Our story started off with a new kid enrolling into Hamilton Hill High School and being in all of Terry's classes. The new kid is Aré Oni. He is instantly welcomed into the popular crowd and it is pretty obvious by where he lives he is wealthy.
At a fundraiser a day later there is an attempt on Bruce Wayne's life. The would-be assassin is Aré, though only a handful of people could see it was him. It turns out Aré is nearly five centuries old and has known Bruce since he was ten years old. Aré tells Terry the story of how they met and eventually what led Bruce to become Batman. (There is heavy influence from Batman Begins which I have never and will never own.) Also revealed within the story is that Aré is a Fae Halfling, his mother having been human, and the Crown Prince among the Fae. Also, Bruce is the descendant of Aré's mortal sister, Mari, making Aré a very distant uncle.
The story is being told while Terry and Aré are trying to track down Paxton Powers, who it is found to be the one who put out the hit on Bruce. Even further in it is revealed that Aré's own brother, Nakumaru Enzeru, is behind the original plot to kill Bruce. They find Naku is plotting something big and he has gathered some powerful allies from Gotham's underworld.
Also in the story it is revealed that Nakumaru framed Aré for the murder of a man and did so well as to make Aré believe he had done it. Batman figures out Aré is innocent and he captures Naku to find out the exact extent of why he had done it. While captured it is revealed that even Naku is not in control of himself but is under a spell which controls all of his actions. He is only free during the time of the new moon. Aré is unable to remove the spell cast upon his brother and Nakumaru disappears for the next fifty years or so.
While tracking down Paxton we learn Nakumaru is gathering various pieces of machinery with which to build a time machine. They know they have to find Naku before the machine is complete and is used.
We left off in part 1 with Terry finding out Bruce is his father and Aré trying to find a way to locate his brother before he is able to get the time machine working. Part 2 starts off right where part 1 left off.
A little bit about the Fae and Gaia:
The Fae as a culture is somewhat similar to Medieval Europe, though mostly in style of dress. One influence I've had as to they're style of dress is from the Fire Emblem games, especially the Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn series. Aré's royal robes are almost identical to the character Reyson from those games. To know what those look like simply go to .net and look in the images gallery for those two games.
Their native language is Japanese, as stated in the last story. They do have various classes but it is not impossible for one to change class. As the years have gone by they have begun to adapt certain mortal conveniences. More will come about as the story progresses.
The island of Gaia is about the size of California but since it is hidden by magic only those who know it's there can find it. Or one who is just very lucky. Its inhabitants obviously consist of just the Fae, humans live there as well along with four other species, each created in the Gods images.
