Right. That's absolutely right. I am the reincarnation of Princess Mars, the Goddess of Flame and War. [And that's the second time she's ever called herself a goddess.] I was reborn with the other princesses, and with the sorceress. Queen Beryl, she called herself.
And...how do you think she got a bunch of people to attack the moon? She did so with magic. Promises of power, dark enchantment, manipulating their leaders? That's how she did it.
[A beat, a shiver at the memory. She hated remembering those battles, the fear and death...all of that. It was like being haunted, she thought.]
Beryl is dead now, and the demon? Metallia? We destroyed her as well.
