Chapter 1 - 0: A sunny winter

*In the vast forest, a 4 year old kid on top of his father's shoulder is giggling while his father is carrying logs behind them*

Arashi walked down the snowy path carrying the logs given by the kamado family after his visit as a gesture of thanks for helping out tanjuro at the market

"Dad?" asked Raijin, with a curious tone, "Will I ever be as strong as you?"

Arashi halted for a few seconds, continued to walk and then said in his coarse, but gentle voice "You'll be strong Rai, one day , you definitely will. It does not matter how much you can lift with your hands, but how much you can with your heart". He had a sense of knowing in his eyes that Raijin had a destiny written for him.

Raijin was born in a very fateful day, and not only that but also his brain and body both were much more efficient than any kid of his age.

*Flashback*

"BRING THE HOT WATER AND CLOTH QUICKLY FOR GOD'S SAKE MY WIFE IS IN PAIN!" yelled a furious and panicking Arashi while his wife went through labour and screamed in pain.

"Sorry big bro! I'm being as fast as I can!"said Nariko , his sister who was a nurse at the village dispensary who was frantically running down their house help deliver the baby.

The Kaminari family was a family of martial artists from Heian Era and each generation perfected their "Way of the thunder" art and passed it down. The Kaminari family was now a family who also helped in treating wounds of villagers and sold fish in the market.

Their primary characteristics were their himalayan blue eyes, pale skin and black perfect long hair with silver strands in between them.

After hours of screams and running around, a wail was heard across the hallways and a loud thunder cracked in tone with the wail of the child.

Two pairs wrinkled eyelids jerked open in a far room and the blue eye looked to a pair of dark eyes."The prophecy is true" said Inazuma while looking at his wife.The grandparents were smiling at this news.

Arashi ran to the upper floor and barged in and went straight to his wife."Oh come on you simp, she's fine, probably the smoothest delivery I've ever done" said Nariko with an annoyed look to her brother.

"Are you fine Atsuko?" Asked Arashi to his wife, for whom he had went to all extents just so that she could be with him.

She opened her eyes and looked at him and everything fell to place "Yes my love, I am".

After a while, when Arashi was holding the baby , the grandparents entered the room and caressed their daughter in law and then their grandson."Raijin Kaminari" said Inazuma.

"According to our family's prophecy, the child born during the taisho period when the white thunder of the night clashes will be born so that the world would see finally a better day."

*End Flashback*

"I promise to be a good kid dad!"Said Raijin to Arashi. Arashi smiled and as they reached their house he showed him the sun rising at the horizon and said "That view right there kid, make sure people will always appreciate it. And glow like it too."
