Akai/History

Pre-Role (1890's)
There were two swans, one black, one white. They were very close to each other and were always with each other, any time of the day. One day, a man and a woman had came to the parents of the swans. "Your children are perfect!" The beautiful lady said. "Would you like for them to become the Lord of the Heavens and the King of the Underworld?" The handsome man questioned. Without a thought, the parents agreed and had their children meet the man and woman. It was decided that the black swan would be where the fires burn and the white swan would be where the sky was beautiful.

The man did not like the idea, however, and wanted the white swan to be the red king rather than the black swan. He told the white swan in secret, “If you are to be Lord of the Heavens. You must have your parents cease to live.” To then the swan replied, “That is unjust!” Furious and outraged, the handsome man had taken over the parents and had forced the white swan to stain his feathers red.

Thus, the beautiful woman, not knowing what had truly happened, had changed her mind they day of the passing and decided for the black swan to be Lord of the Heaven and the white swan to be King of the Underworld.

Fair Lady (1930's)
When Akai was to go back to the over-world for awhile (per Death's request and with preparation a year before), he stayed in France and went under the alias Ezekiel. During this time, Akai's predecessor introduced him to a wealthy family and made him the family's Official Companion for their daughter, Rose de Arthur Leon. The daughter was a very... eccentric young princess. Well-mannered, but very loud and curious. Akai was to accompany her Royal Highness' when needed and to attend to her needs. Ezekiel stayed in the Leon estate during this time and had grown close Rose over the years, eventually both growing feelings for each other, Akai learning how to express himself once again.

However, news came after about ten years. Lady Rose already had her future set for her, as she was forced to marry a man from another noble family. Both heartbroken and with his stay in the human years finished, Akai slipped away on the day of Lady Rose's wedding and became listless yet again.
