"*These two were separated by evil 48 years ago. And now, the Otherworld needs them... to be together as a family*".- Anastasia Wynter

The **Long-Awaited Reunion** is the biggest story between two long-distanced beloved cousins whose families are connected with The Otherworld, and are destined to unite as the representatives of the Hawk of Light and the Pitch Black Crow, with their sole union would finally purge the roots of evil from Earth. It is the primordial storyline in The Hawk and The Crow.

## Prelude

In 1970, The Otherworld's guardian Anastasia Wynter sensed a powerful and familiar dark source in a secluded village in Niagara Falls. Anastasia told Janet Fitzgerald that her sister, Melina, has disappeared and that her only daughter, Abigail, is alive and needed to be rescued. This ultimately caused Janet and her husband Alan Fitzgerald to prepare a trip to Niagara Falls. Noticing that their daughter Mary Jane might interest what they are doing, they decided to include her in this situation with the message that she will meet a "very special person" that wanted to see her.

On May 21st, Abigail and Mary Jane met for the first time ever. Abigail's elderly father figure allowed her to permanently live with the Fitzgerald Family, knowing the beloved history that they have and that Mary Jane will be a great partner for Abigail in life. The family would move in to Willow's Bell, California, as Alan and Janet found jobs as camp counselors at the Firefly Summer Camp. During the time that they were in the summer camp, Abigail and Mary Jane became a popular and beloved duo ever since then, doing entertaining activities together and giving happy days to the campers in that time.

However, during the New Moon of October 25th, 1973, Randy Cavanaugh, influenced by the malthoughts of The Memetuo, slaughtered the campers and the Fitzgerald couple in front of the eyes of Mary Jane, devastating her. On the other side, Abigail, who was sleeping in another cabin with Magdalena Kraenen, was told by Magdalena to run away from the camp due to the danger that involved her family. As Magdalena did the same with Mary Jane, the two escaped from Willow's Bell. Ever since then, the two cousins went their separate ways, as Abigail went through a pilgrimage back to her former home in Niagara Falls, having to take food out of markets in order to survive and hiding in buses in order to travel back to her home, while Mary Jane tried to commit suicide, and was hospitalized for five days, before being sent to the Saint Damian Psychiatric Hospital, under constant surveillance by the orderlies.
