The Ice Queen and her Loyal Guard--The Kaioi Story

Cold, dark, lonely, bitter...all words to describe the afternoon when young Aoi Kurotama discovered her Veros powers.
It was an event that would change the tiny four-year-old's life forever. It was an event that triggered the most important friendship of her life. It was an event that thrust her into a dark, depressing spiral.
It was an event that orphaned her.
Aoi was simply sitting around in her little cottage when her parents walked in the room. They were a small family, but nonetheless very happy. But that happiness turned to sorrow when a sudden shock of ice in little four-year-old Aoi's hands sprung loose and pierced both of her parents in the heart. Aoi could only run for her life, terrified of what she'd done.
Little Aoi wasn't the only child resident of her snowy mountain home that had a shock involving a dark secret at a young age. Three houses down from hers, a year after she was born, five-year-old Kaiden Reaper walked downstairs in his small home to find his beloved mother cowering in the kitchen, and his even more beloved father being mercilessly beaten to death by cold, masked faces. And on that day, he learned the secret of his origin that would change his life forever.
Two broken, scared, sheltered lives met in a dark forest on a freezing night-Aoi fleeing from the pain of having murdered her own family, and Kaiden searching to commit a murder of his own to keep his eight-year-old mind off the crippling, mentally damaging trauma of watching his father die-for no reason other than race.
