"So, would you like to tell me why you never mentioned that you were contracted to the same KeyHolder as Loke before?" Alumina asked the Bear Spirit that stood before her calmly. She was back in her apartment in Magnolia, having waited until the day after she saw Karen's grave to try and speak with Ursa about what happened. The morning light was filtering in through her window as it hit her bed and lit up the room.

Ursa just gave her a flat stare back, before looking away, her ears flattening against her head. "It never came up." She mumbled and Alumina sighed at the answer.

"Bad answer." Alumina told her. "I would understand before, but you should have at least mentioned it when you found out I contracted Loke." Alumina told her.

Ursa huffed in reply, "I guess so, but it doesn't matter. We may have had the same KeyHolder before now, but it really doesn't make a difference now, does it?" Ursa asked her moodily.

"It does." Alumina told her, "I know who it was, it was Karen Lilica, and I know she abused her Spirits." Ursa flinched a little but Alumina continued anyway. "I know that for whatever reason there's a rift between you and Loke now, and I want to figure out why. I want to know your side of the story, I already asked Loke for his." Alumina explained.

For a long while Ursa didn't answer, but Alumina was patient, she would wait for as long as she needed to, to get an answer out of the Bear Spirit. At last Ursa gave up once she realized she wouldn't get out of this without giving Alumina some sort of answer, and she motioned for Alumina to sit on the bed. Alumina sat on her bed and Ursa bit her lip for a minute, before sighing, still not looking at Alumina.

"Yes, I was contracted to Karen at the same time as Leo and Aries." Ursa started. "And yes, she abused us, but Aries always got the worst of it. We're Spirits, we are forbidden from disobeying our KeyHolder even if our Master isn't decent... Leo and I used to be friends, great friends actually, right when we were first contracted to Karen we got along really well, never argued..." Ursa trailed away as she frowned at the floor, teeth clamped down onto one of her nails. "But once Karen's abuse started getting out of hand, our friendship fell apart. We were both fed up with Karen's treatment of us, we both wanted it to stop. If you could have seen what she did to Aries half the time..."

Ursa's eyes narrowed as the yellow orbs lit up with cold hatred, and her fists clenched at her sides.

"I wanted nothing more than to beat some sense into that woman, to show her what it felt like to be abused. I'm sure Leo felt the same way, but we didn't so much care about ourselves, we could handle her abuse, but Aries couldn't. If anything, Karen needed to stop abusing Aries, it didn't matter if she quit abusing us." Ursa turned around so her back was facing Alumina. "Hearing this now, I bet you can't see where that rift between Leo and I started. We both wanted the same thing, after all..."

Ursa fell into silence and Alumina tilted her head a little.

"The problem was we couldn't do anything, nothing, not unless we wanted to break the law. I couldn't think of anything, and at one point I just told him to drop it, that there was nothing to do until we got a new KeyHolder. I think that's what pissed him off, and it pissed me off that he decided to try and fix things by force. That's when we fell apart, I didn't think what he was doing was right, but at the same time I did I suppose... I know he made sure Karen couldn't call either me or Aries once he started his plan. He came through his gate on his own and that caused our gates to be shut off because Karen wasn't strong enough to open two Gate's at once."
