Chapter Text
Gotham was ancient, so ancient that it manifested into a sentient being.
But that didn’t happen until it was more of a city than a little town.
Every story starts somewhere, but this was starts in the middle of the beginning.
Amity park is older than anyone realizes, it was the beginning of the City now names “Gotham”. As such, it’s familys that never moved, grew, and grew, and grew.
But one family never really grew, sure the generations kept happening and such, but never more than one or two kids per generation. Whenever there were two children, only one of them ever had a child.
Eventually the original last name changed from “Fenton” to “Wayne”.
And Eventually…
The legend began.
A spirit who has protected the Wayne’s since the generations of the Fenton’s.
A protection spirit that would only come if called by family member,
not blood,
family, even if adopted.
It was never confirmed, nobody wanted to try it, too afraid that it would open the veil to the beyond, and something other than their protective ancestor would come through, although it is said that only the children in the Wayne family who needed protection, and believed in the stories of their good fortune being a blessing from this mysterious ancestor; could see him.
Which is probably the only reason Damien was currently able to see this Fae looking being, when asked for a name, the only response was; Phantom.
