elaborate plot line 1
Sooo, here’s a little background for the twins (The Emperor and The Devil) that I wrote a long while ago.
~~~~~
Romulus and Remus’s mother was named Rhea Silvia. She wanted to keep the twins, but her Uncle, Amulius, forced a servant to kill them. The servant, being kind-hearted, didn’t kill them. But she set them on the steps of a far-away orphanage. Their father was a very busy man, who did not care much for Rhea; instead, it was a one-time affair.
Asena, a female wolf in Turkic mythology, is the woman who finds and adopts Romulus and Remus. She raises them, and later in the twins’ lives, Rhea seeks to find them. When they are about 7 years old, Romulus and Remus start to see the world in different views as each other. Remus is blamed for almost everything, and his brother, Romulus, gets the credit for everything. He is praised, and Remus is ignored.
Remus begins to act out against his brother, even though Romulus didn’t pay much attention. They traveled together to see Rhea Silvia, breaking Asena’s heart as she had to watch them leave. Asena turned into a wolf as her purpose of living as a human was soon gone as they left.
Romulus believed that he could achieve great things, if he tried hard enough and didn’t let anything or anyone slow him down. He became the top member of the Major Arcana, and seemed to forget about Remus. By that time, Remus had become a thief in order to relieve stress and find a way to get money. He was a hired hit man, though he didn’t exactly like his way of life.
Remus eventually began to torture his wealthy and satisfied brother by taking away what he loved peace by peace. He and Romulus entranced into a fight, which resulted in the killing of a white wolf with a light blue-tinted mane, Asena. As she died, she showed herself for a quick second in human form to let the children realize what their fighting can resolve into, only death.
Yet, everyone blamed Remus, even though it was Romulus they saw stabbing the wolf on accident. The event brought upon disagreements, therefore violence. Remus was sent to a prison-like area, where he slowly started to lose his sanity. Romulus lived on as if none of it had ever happened, moving away from the death scene town.

I’ll probably end up tweaking their back story a little in due time.

I haven’t figured out last names for some of them, and I may change some characters around to fit the story better, but I pretty much like where most of them are now.
Little old 8th grade Rae didn’t know that Romulus killed Remus in order to become Emperor of Rome back in the story, but she put him there. She was unknowingly smart.
