He should have known.
Klarion should have known it from the very start, should have predicted that soon enough, he would have to face his past. From the moment he heard that familiar flapping and saw that familiar plumage too otherworldly to be any other bird's, he should have expected things were going to get chaotic for him, and not in a way he liked. But no, he decided to ignore it and get back to summoning a chaos beast that would destroy the world. He fought the baby heroes and their new recruits(where do they even get them from?) without sparing the winged spectator a second glance. Nabu came and the fun was over. He had to retreat. By then, the avian had already flown away but he didn't mind it. That's what birds do, after all. Fly.
In hindsight, he should have taken that sight as a cue to ditch the earthly plane and hide somewhere nobody could find him.
But he didn't. And now he had a magical owl familiar telling him that his dear sister wished to speak with him.
Brilliant.
Yes, I know. Very short first chapter/prologue. I've actually wanted to write this for like a year already but never got to it for a number of reasons. To those of you who don't know, Klarion really does have a named sister in the original comics. She's in the Seven Soldiers of Victory comics by Grant Morrison. I imported her into the YJ universe for this fic. She'll be really important here. This story focus on Klarion's backstory which has elements from his story in Seven Soldiers.
Reviews fuel me!
