Ryu could never mistake the voice. And even if he did, he would never forget the feeling it could give him. There was just one person who was capable of this. It was the second woman he had ever loved in this life and the woman the Heavens had decided was his perfect match. His Life Partner, the love of his life.
Ailsa Tatsuya.
The shudder that went through Ryu's soul made him snap awake. In fact, even his Dao Heart stopped its complete rampage and looked into the skies, clearly pulled by the same matters.
His Dao Heart was more pulled by the influence of the Heavens than even he was. There was simply no escaping this… its feelings for Ailsa were even more primal and real than Ryu's own. In fact, had it been in control of his body back when he first met Ailsa, they would have never gotten off to that slow start at all.
