*These three Principles together comprise Aria's personal interpretation of the Righteous Devil Style's philosophy. The italics are the poetical versions of them she might give if asked to elucidate. The plaintext is the actual Principle mechanically, because vague poetical Intimacies are actually not a good idea with this system. | *These three Principles together comprise Aria's personal interpretation of the Righteous Devil Style's philosophy.

− | Aria grew up here, in this quiet place at the edge of the world. Though | + | Aria grew up here, in this quiet place at the edge of the world. Though live here was tough - food rare and fires brittle and dim - it was mostly without danger. Aria grew up learning to take care of herself and to survive in the rough wilderness, but her life was peaceful, for a time. Then when she turned 12 or so, they started to appear. The hungry ghosts were bad enough, but even stranger things lurked at the edges of the night. Dark, twisted things that were never meant to see the light of day, undulating shadows at the edge of vision and hungry mouths seen out of the corner of your eye. Strange noises coming from the heart of the mountain. People began to disappear, at first quietly, and then with screams in the middle of the night. |
Fire kept them away. Mostly. But fire was a rare and precious thing here. There were tales from the old folk of places far in the South where it was a ready to find thing, easy and commonplace. But no one dared venture from the mountains, for the Fair princes that roamed the North and the Shadowlands with their dead were still, at the time, worse dangers. But Aria decided that they could not forever live in fear. So at the cusp of young adulthood she left that place, in search of a fire that never dies. | Fire kept them away. Mostly.

And then a voice came to her, in her last moments.

But to Aria he spoke only eight words, for He knew that was all that was needed. | And then a voice came to her, in her last moments.
