Alumina let out a long sigh as she sat cross-legged on her bed, twirling Ursa's key over and over in her hand as she stared at the floor. She had gotten back from the mission to defeat the bandits with Loke earlier that morning, but she was becoming more and more curious as to what the Lion Spirit had told her.

Loke and Ursa belonged to the same KeyHolder not to long ago? How come she never mentioned it? Especially after I contracted Loke...?

She stopped twirling the key as she grasped it in her hand and rubbed her eyes a little, before positioning her hair to cover her left eye completely like always. She needed to get Ursa's side of the story, but because the Bear Spirit had never mentioned it before, she was getting the feeling Ursa might not want to talk about it.

Alumina set the key down on the bed next to her and grabbed a different key from her belt instead, holding it before her. "Open; Gate of the Southern Cross!" Her hand swiped to the side in front of her, leaving a line of gold in the air. "Crux!"

Crux appeared before her, looking asleep like he always did and she put his key back on her belt before sighing. "I was wondering if you could tell me about the KeyHolder Loke was contracted to before Lucy." She told Crux, who opened one eye to peer at her, before it closed and he fell silent as he began to think.

Alumina waited patiently for him to stop searching with her hands folded in her lap and gaze fixed on the spirit, she decided she ought to get a little background information before she decided to speak with Ursa, this way she might have a better chance at understanding this way.

"Leo was contracted to Karen Lilica before coming into the possession of Lucy Heartfilia. Aries and Ursa were also contracted to Karen along with Leo. Due to circumstances including the abuse of her spirits, Leo stood up to Karen, coming through his gate on his own and preventing Karen from summoning anymore spirits while he was here. Ursa was lost to a different KeyHolder a little before Leo's actions " Alumina's eyes widened at the information. "Leo's act ultimately lead to Karen Lilica's death, where Aires was taken from her by another Celestial Wizard, Leo was charged with the crime of breaking one of the Celestial Laws, and was cut off from re-entering the spirit world ever again, as a result."

Alumina stared in shock at the information, Loke he... he killed one of his KeyHolders...?

"Then... How did he become Contracted to Lucy if he was forbidden from re-entering the Spirit World?" Alumina asked him and Crux fell silent before giving her an answer.

"Leo sustained himself for three years in the Human World using his own Magic. Lucy found him just before he disappeared entirely, trying to force his gate to open back up and allow Leo entrance back into the spirit world. Her efforts caught the attention of the Celestial Spirit King, and she convinced him to reconsider his judgment. Leo was allowed entrance back into the Spirit World, Lucy ultimately saving his life." Crux answered and Alumina fell silent at the words. For a long while she just stared down at the floor as she tried to process what Crux had just told her.

Could Loke really have killed his KeyHolder? Was he that Cold-hearted? And how the hell did he survive in this world for three years!?

She didn't want to believe that, Crux had said something about abuse, so maybe Loke had a reason... but that couldn't make it ok to kill someone, could it?

She wanted the full story, to know all the details, but she had a feeling Crux wouldn't tell her anymore than he already had on the topic. So how could she know all of it? She could ask Ursa... No, that wasn't a good idea, and she highly doubted either Aries or Loke would want to talk about, it might be too painful for them for her to even ask about it.
