There is a special project being built upon the ruins of the building that had claimed her entire Court.

And this is why she is walking towards him right now, heels click-clacking along the dark crystal surface that serves as a home for the Negaverse. The train of her black dress trails behind her, along with her long green tresses, but the most significant thing of power about her is the butterfly wings that flare behind her; cerise surrounded by a black glow. "I want in." She says quietly, after she stops in front of the General King, head held high.

She is merely a girl of fifteen, soon to be sixteen. Yet, her power level is almost on par as his, perhaps more, he admits grudgingly to himself, due to the Crystal that she holds within her. But it is this power that has been pulled over to serve Chaos, and it is his doing that she is here.

There is no reason to reject her request. No reason to upset a Princess; however sweet and innocent she can portray herself to be, that is unstable and lapses into mood swings, as he has been informed by Nealite.

The girl has taken a shine to Ursula, and it is something neither of them has discouraged. And yet, Aria Alduino, her new pseudonym as a civilian, is still bitter as she mourns the death of Alistair McGill (or Prince Eon, as they have learned with his demise). If she could remember a thing, she would know that she was the one that had put their plans all into motion.

It was using her that he managed to gather the Zodiac Court in a single place. It was before her very eyes that he made them beg and kneel, just for her, as she shook her head, tears running down her cheeks. It was then when Charonite merely told them that this was their end, and pressed the button that would ignite the explosives they had hidden in the building.

She had witnessed their deaths and remained immobile with shock for a minute or two. And then when they ripped the gag from her mouth, she had screamed.

She had been innocent and naive once. But all that was gone when she looked at them with hatred boiling in her eyes, fiercely fighting against her bonds and screaming, just screaming that she would get them and she would--

It was then when he plunged his hand into her chest. They had taken her, corrupted her just when she had snapped, and she was never the same girl from that moment on.

And they have woven a thread of lies around her. Promising that they would help her attempt to resurrect Alistair, when the project is merely meant to siphon what is left of the Zodiacs' energy. A whole court of soldiers that had once fought in the very depths of space to hold back Chaos, reborn in the bodies of mere teenagers that had been still unsure with what they were dealing with, was a prime source of energy that would fuel their progress greatly.

Perhaps it is a risk sending her into a place that is significant to her, even as she has lost all memories in regard to that incident. But holding her back from it is not a wise move, and besides, Ursula and other Negaverse soldiers will serve as her handlers.

And so, Aria Alduino is enrolled into Barren Pines Academy.
