Seiya's Story

Seiya's story begins with the arranged marriage of her mother Queen of the Star named Fighter: Sedona to Yakumo. Yakumo was a cruel man who only married Sedona for more power. He didn't love his wife and she didn't love him either.

But Sedona loved another man, Seiji and had loved him ever since they met. She often stole away from the palace to stroll in the garden with her lover. On one of those nights Seiya was conceived.

Yakumo hated children so he knew he wasn't the one who made Sedona full with child. Sedona never said who her lover was so Yakumo waited and planned. One night he caught Sedona going to the gardens and followed her. When he saw Sedona and Seiji together he realized he must be the father of that misbegotten child. Yakumo charged Seiji and killed him in front of Sedona.

Sedona was never the same after that, she didn't love her husband before but not she hated him and wanted him dead. She brought her child to term and named her Seiya. Then she sought to do what she most wanted after giving birth to her child: to slay he who killed her father.

Yakumo knew his wife hated him now and he wasn't surprised when she came in with murder in her eyes. He had planned for this and he killed her just as coldly as he had killed her lover. Yakumo then rushed to the chamber where Seiya was peacefully sleeping. He never wanted the child so he would just send her too to death's cold embrace.

As he raised his sword against the child a voice commended him to stop. It was the Queen of the Stars: Kakyoku, she took the child from him and said that he wouldn't harm Princess Star Fighter. She then teleported all the people of Fighter to Kinmoku her own world and disappeared with Seiya. As soon as Seiya was out of the orbit of Fighter the Star exploded killing the treaturous Yakumo.

Kakyoku brought Seiya to live with her on Kinmoku and raised her as she did her daughter. Seiya knows of the story of her mother and father's death but it hasn't affected her as much as it affected Healer.
