Hi there! Okay, so if you are reading this, thank you so much! This is my first Professor Layton story and I'm so excited to be writing it! Warning you now, this story will go through all 6 games plus Eternal Diva and maybe once the other stuff comes out I'll go back and edit the new stuff in. Anyways, if you don't want spoilers, especially for Azran Legacy, turn back now. I am also telling you that I am not British and will not be writing as one. Also, I will have a profile of Solana, my OC, at a part of each game so like in the beginning when she's younger there'll be profiles for the flashbacks in the games for every start but once I get to the actual game the profiles will slow down. So here's this chapter's profile.
Solana is only a baby, barely even a year, yet she was a light to the Bronev family. Going by the nickname of Ana, Solana was cherished by both her siblings and parents. But when it's time to say goodbye to her oldest brother Hershel, Solana becomes Solana Layton while her brother Theodore becomes Hershel Layton, both forced to leave the real Hershel behind.
That's it, now enjoy!
In a quiet little village, there was a house where there used to live the Bronev family. Now, that house was occupied only by the children left behind. Of course, however, today changes everything. For a family, Lucille and Roland Layton to be exact, were coming to adopt the baby Solana and the boy Hershel. However, the Laytons didn't know which of the two boys was Hershel, giving the real Hershel a chance to save his brother from living alone. As he packed, 7 year old Theodore cried,
"But Hershal, Ana and I don't want to leave you!" Meeting his brother's eyes, Hershel amended,
"Silly, your name's Hershel now." Theodore was surprised when his brother put a hand on his lips when their was a knock on the door. Picking up the small baby from the play pen and carrying the suitcase, Hershel led Theodore to the door. Setting the bag down, Hershel smiled up at the elderly couple and said, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Layton, this is my brother Hershel and my sister Solana."
"So you're the Hershel we've heard so much about." Lucille smiled.
"We hear you're a bright young boy." Roland added as his wife pet Theodore's head.
"And this is little Solana." Lucille smiled. Solana stared up at her soon to be adopted mother with her big brown eyes, similar to her oldest brother's. She didn't understand and wouldn't remember, Hershel knew that. "Why you're so beautiful." Lucille then turned to the real Hershel and said, "I'm sorry we can't adopt all three of you."
"It's alright," Hershel smiled as his brother's arm tightened on his sweater, "I have to stay for school and a family in the village will take care of me. The um...the Phibbs."
"Oh well, as long as you're alright." Lucille smiled, not catching the lie. Hershel handed over his sister and slowly let his brother go as they were led to the Laytons' car.
Be strong siblings. Hershel thought sadly, Today is the start. of your new lives. Your new lives as Hershel and Solana Layton. The car pulled away, and along with it the former Theodore and Solana Bronev, destined to not see the real Hershel Bronev for another 27 years.
Well how was it? Good? Bad? Let me know please! Later.
