Aoide can be found walking the grounds her voice flowing through the air. Her long golden locks usually the first thing to be seen. Her striking green eyes now clear with a sparkle thanks to Kuroi. When he first came upon her she was held captive, used as a prize fighting pet. She wasn't even given a name. Forced to fight till her body would give, and her mind would go black. Lost to that haze of pain and shear exhaustion. The night he came, the night she first saw him...and his true form. She was fighting, winning round after round. Not given a chances to rest, or gather her strength. She fought never giving up, even when they tried to turn the odds against her. She was never sure why he jumped down, why he came to her deffence. But her tore her opponent in two, and caught her shattered body. That was the first night she spent with him. He took her away, bathed her, took care of the wounds she had. Even when she wouldn't speak, he soothed her with his words.<br/><br/>She was sure that was the start, when she first started to open her heart to him. He was the first to make her feel safe, warm, and the first to call her beautiful. No matter her wounds and scars from her battles, he saw more. The first time he would hear her voice was through her song. Sitting in the moonlight, thinking he was asleep. He listened and then and their he gave her a name. Aoide in Greek mythology she was one of the original three muses, the muse of song. His muse, and song bird. He saw her for more then a fighter, more then a thing to be used for entertainment. He saw her, her song, her dance, the woman and beauty that was almost beaten completely out of her. And for this she fell, for this she came to love him with everything she was.<br/><br/>He taught her to hone her fighting skills, to focus her mind past the memories that haunted her. And nourished the beauty and artist within. This was why she took his collar, why she stayed with him in his house. Even if she was technically a servant she never did feel like one.<br/>(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/darkglitch/45.jpg)
