Aoi blinked, "I was training to rule, until my twin brother, Ryu, killed our parents and all of the court. I fled to the Celestial Court and begged sanctuary. Since then I have been training to protect people from Ryu's wrath until I am strong enough to confront him. My training covered everything from cooking to dancing to fighting. Rex came to the Celestial Court 2 years after I arrived there." She looked down, conjuring up a picture of a raven-haired couple laughing at a little girl-child trying to sword fight. "I guess you could say it was young love, but he wouldn't remember me. That was years ago and another lifetime. He has changed and so have I." Her hands were trembling slightly, she took her hot chocolate in her hands to keep Ally from noticing. She had never told anyone on Earth what had happened all those years ago. "When Rex left, I vowed that I would never age until I found out the truth about him and I was strong enough to defeat Ryu." She said with a little laugh.
