All rights for original canon characters goes to J. K. Rowling, my own character and head cannons, storyline, and lore are strictly MINE. Don't steal, ask permission before using at all, IN NO WAY DO I SUPPORT J.K. ROWLING. I am severely disappointed in her frankly childish behavior & harmful ideals, especially for someone who has such influence over young people. Characters will be slightly off from the canon version and lots of head cannons.

In the beginning- nah. We're skipping this part. Yokohama, Japan, April 21st, 1971 -  Thanks to the mist, mortals couldn't see the the island the size of a state a few miles off coast from the coastline, located in Tokyo Bay. Well, most mortals couldn't see it anyways. Though the occasional mortal with clear sight would see the flicker of giant boulders just barely under the surface of the water like giant stepping stones leading up to a vast island. What's so special about this island you may ask- it's just surrounded by mist, like Long Island- right? EXACTLY. Though this Island was probably bigger, with vast valleys and cliffs with bodies of giant waters ON said island, that's how huge it was. With Lush, great forests, you'd be surprised how much wild life lives there.

It would be the day a rather important letter is sent- to a man know by many in a certain community, though somewhere across the the sea of time- there may be a thread woven wrong which led to this letter inevitably being lost- but that's not the case here and now. Let's follow the story that led up to this letter together, shall we? Let's settle down on this beautiful island, layered with horrors that don't seem to dampen the beauty of it - if you didn't know what has happened on its soil.

Alas, This was Shinda Island - which directly translates to "Dead" Island in Japanese. Home to the Tsushiro Family, along with the Yamanashi Clan. For some context, the Yamanashi Clan originated from Greece, their surname being changed from "Tsaoussis" to "Yamanashi" once they migrated from Greece, though the main family are known as "Tsushiro" for that was the surname of the family the Head of the "Tsaoussis" group married into. And you may be wondering, "Why would a Greek family migrate to Japan and start a whole clan there? Well, the answer to that question, my dear reader, would be Death. With a capital "D" of course!

You see, Thanatos, The Greek Personification of Death, fell in love with exactly one mortal, at the dawn of Humanity. The this time, Prometheus had been chained up to have his rather gruesome punishment, thanks to our kind-hearted and sweet Greek King of the Cosmos - Zeus himself.

This led to Thanatos to try and turn his Beloved, Aglaia, into a minor goddess and be his wife for eternity. By now humans have slowly started forming civilizations, and Aglaia was smart beyond any mortal ever known at the time, and was incredibly beautiful, like- Goddess level beautiful, but that's not the reason Thanatos fell in love with her- she was kind, kind in a way most aren't, in a rare and gentle way, and she accepted death, grieving losses but understanding that death was but a part of life.

But of course, you can't just go around making mortals gods, that's just tempting fate- and that's exactly what happened. Our dear Aglaia got pregnant with twins, but complications arrived, she was bleeding out, Thanatos managed to preserve the barely alive twins - trapped in time, thanks to a simple blessing from his mother Nyx, but he couldn't save his beloved.

The only person who was willing to embrace him with warmth and tell him he was perfect in every way was gone. He would go back to being feared and dismissed and despised and seen as bad. He refused to believe it, refused to do his job, he wouldn't take her to the Underworld, or anyone else for that matter- meaning everything stopped dying, sound familiar, no? This was the first time Death was prevented, but not because he was captured (that's ANOTHER guy named Sisyphus a few millennia later) but willingly out of despair and grief.
